It’s been 2 days since Nao left school but he left a noticeable impact. Trevor, has been training for the rematch, bullies are a bit scared to approach us, and most importantly… 483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7BwFSmRHZ

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgxUfsQ4W
Mat: “And when Nao comes back, he’ll take the position of King. After what you told us he was fighting evenly with him. I’m sure after a month of training, he’ll be way stronger.”

Velo: “Besides, we won’t be as fast as Nao. Why even try?”
…483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdJMX6G6v
They’re right, we don’t have Arc or a game system. Anything we try won’t change us as much.

I get our bags and leave the library while trying to stay hidden from bullies. They might be scared of Nao but they’re not scared of us. It only takes one person and-

Everyone in the hallway stops and watches as Trevor walks up to us. Their intense gaze falls upon us like a wave and breaks our fragile cover.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjisin7WXaQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmnhdkiIhc
Trevor: “So, have you guys seen Nao recently? I couldn’t get an answer out of Alyson so how about you?”

Mat steps in front of us and puffs up his chest. What the hell is he doing. This won’t make up for what he did. Talking to Trevor is terrifying but not that bad.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH64Kh9OVc4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcuAQoyedO

Trevor: “Great, I hope he’s getting ready for our next fight. I just can’t stop thinking about it. I still have the badge on my face to remember him”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbwOID2WIx
Creepy.

Mat: “He is and when he does…he’ll….h-he’ll win.”

We collectively sighed and inched past Trevor. Everyone’s gaze still followed our every move but I don’t care. We just dodged a bull-

Trevor: “And the other hand.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNpSxxL1dL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVxnOUIWI4
We instantly stopped and felt the air cool sharply. We look around to Trevor with his head turned toward us.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVZEBXZ7zq

Trevor: “If Nao was that strong, maybe one of you can give me a warm-up? Do one of you…want to fight?”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp1fGhW3bn
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqONFXbacm
Instantly, we begin to shiver uncontrollably. I can see it in his eyes, we’re nothing but cattle and prey to him. He towers over our lives and casts a shadow over any possibility of escaping.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXe2EzflGw
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbSPw0XeA1
But what makes me shiver isn’t fear. No, it’s hatred for those around us. I quickly look around to see people running away, giggling, or watching us with some sick anticipation. Is this…entertainment to you fucking creatures!
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuyDCMyhi4

For a moment those parasites look elsewhere, to the queen. They start mumbling like flies around shit. And we’re just in the middle of this clown show, waiting to get out.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JRyGpvB0a
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfrul25pk9

As if nothing happened, we return to the background where we belong. The show must go on. We were just a commercial in their “exciting” lives.

The school day ends without anything else happening. The only place left for us is Nao’s room. The only place where we can escape our fate.

I open the door to see an even taller and muscular Nao training his body. It’s got to the point where he’s starting to tower over us too. 2 inches from being just like the bullies…

Tallow: “That would actually be terrifying.”

The rest of them laugh and talk all the way to the front door. I can’t help but follow the crowd and laugh along. I didn’t have to do that in a long time…

Nao: “Hey guys?”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvK4BXntX
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdjBAUh5Rp
We look back at Nao standing at the threshold of the door. He looks down seemingly worried about us leaving maybe.

Nao: “After I deal with Trevor there’s something I should tell you. It might shock you but I want to make sure we’ll still be friends afterward.”

Shouldn’t it depend on what the secret is…

We say our goodbyes and head to our separate homes. Of course, I am the first to leave the group. I live far away from my friends, in a place of Hillview I would never take my friends to.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsAqoFfneF
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbuODmxoU3
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PMsPi2zVA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEaFeC74jx
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBR3B5zTjA
Nothing will change if we don’t beat those monsters into the ground! Maybe even killing one as an example. How else are we supposed to walk through school with our heads held up? It’s…not fair that Nao can do that…

But that’s how it usually is. I look to the reflective surface of the light pole and can’t help but feel sick.

Anthony: “Once again, I’m the dwarf of the group. With Nao gone and all grown up, I might become the official Napoleon tomorrow. Hahaha…”

I look away and stifle the fear threatening to escape up my throat. I refuse to be scared of those bastards. I’ll keep my dignity at least.

I put it out of my head and suck up the tears. I run home and hope I’m not too late to receive even a bit of comfort.

I fix myself some food and take the poorly made mess back to my room. I force myself to eat my dinner as time marches ahead without me.

Eventually, the time comes for the meteor shower. I go to my window and watch them shoot across my vision. I quickly take a poor photo on my broken phone.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQqTsoU28z
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI39ayqeVz7
I look down at the cracked version of the shower in the sky.

I collapse on my mat on the floor and stare at the dirty ceiling. Then a strange memory pops into my head. The first time I saw a meteor show with my parents…and the last time I didn’t want to wish for anything.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGjsIKmsRh
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv1N8HMSUE
I get off my mat and go back to the window to see the falling stars. I cup my hands, close my eyes, and wish on one of the stars flying across the sky.

Anthony: “…I wish for vengeance and…the power to take it. Power that…Nao doesn’t deserve anymore. I don’t want to be like this anymore.”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi6N5UqqHg
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKs3QfpRC
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUMCXzJUJ8
I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.

Anthony: “As per usual, I’m ignored. After all, I’m not one of you.”

I reach out to the sky swirling with white fire. After 5 breaths I close my hand wishing to crush those flames that scar my skin every day. When I pull my hand back though…
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr05RCcCYQk
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYVoivLZwi
Anthony: “W-What?”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGmYQoZid4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSqVhwXc9v
Within my hands, a light shines through the cracks of my fingers. I open it to find something I always wished for.

As I feel the energy within my hands I realize what it actually is.
