Chereads / 8th BC: Dialer King Down 吃我的屁股 / Chapter 16 - MONDAY MORNING

Chapter 16 - MONDAY MORNING

The dungeon came crumbling down and the rooster monster let it rip, the echoing all in Laone's brain. At this point, he already tried everything to defeat it and all efforts were proven futile, it was foe worth the history books. Suddenly a gentle and warm feel embraced his face, a light peaked from the heavens striking the chicken down. It momentarily blinded Laone and when he regained his sight he saw his sister looking directly into his eyes.

"Am I in heaven," his voice struggled to vacate his mouth and when it finally broke free it sounded like an old car engine.

"As if! How can anyone sleep through all that noise?" She let go of her brother and hopped off his bed to allow him to sit up.

"You just ruined the most epic fight in my life..." Laone stood from his bed and walked past his sister. "Do you enjoy being late to school that much? your actions also affect me as your younger sibling you know."

"Not that many people are aware that we are related so why bother wake me up, and since when did you start waking me up." Laone stretched and looked back at his sister for an answer but was met with her lowering her head.

She was fuming with embarrassment but it did not show on her face, scary. Everything she had been working for might be crumbling so she wanted to have her brother there with her if the worst comes to pass. As selfish as she knew it was she had no other to lean on, when finally thought of something to say to her brother he was not there.

ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL

Laone had been running for a whole hundred meters and was surprisingly still breathing fine. He clenched his fists in triumph and hopped forward forgetting that he was put in a skirt. Because of the whole thing with the dungeon upgrading his looks he had more eyes on him than ever.

It did not take much for him to start getting nervous from all of the unwanted attention. Not knowing how to handle all of these eyes on him, he slowed down and faced the ground wishing on a rock that the eyes go away. Every once in awhile he would sneak a peak but the old gazes were always getting replaced with the new.

The school was located in the most abandoned part of the city and this meant that many students lived far away from it. Most of the students walked to school so that they can have fun munching away at their commute money. Sounds of children screaming snapped Laone out his wool-gathering.

He looked behind him and was hit by a mad cab driver, the cab swerved in front of him and left skid marks on the road courtesy of its abrupt stop. The window rolled down slowly and a familiar broken face tore right through Laone's heart.

This ball of scars was the cab driver that was supposed to regularly pick Laone up from and to school. Laone, however, was always running away from it and therefore they always have tiny moments like these that never seize to scare the bloody hell out the masses. Laone opened the door and got in with no questions asked, it was either that or get carried in by force.

"Hello uncle Skizzo," Laone said as he got off at the entrance of the school gate.

Skizzo huffed, "isn't that supposed to be goodbye?" Laone ignored and walked away, Skizzo got out of the cab halfway and screamed, "next time I will break your legs so that you can't run away from me."

Laone swallowed a shiver and ran to class, before entering he psyched himself up to stay mad at Thato. The first person he saw when he walked was Thato and the first thing he did was laugh along with the rest of the class. Thato had clown make up on and a paper wording out, "I AM SORRY."

After the quick laugh, they went to wash Thato's face. It was thereafter that Laone picked up a trace of bloodlust for the first time. The person in question had a vicious heartbeat and a drench of blood coming from him. He was mumbling something under his breath that Laone was too panicked to hear.

Eventually, the other students saw him and started screaming, the friends looked back to witness the culprit putting a brick on somebody's head. The student representative council was trying to subdue him and an unfortunate council member caught a brick to his head. Before he could double-tap him, Oratile ran in and pushed the assailant aside and bent down to pick the council member.

The assailant slipped and the brick fell off his hand, seeing that he was unarmed the other council members tried to jump him. He fought all four councilors away by himself, students started to gather with their phones out. The assailant's mouth was foaming and his eyes were all over the place.

After seeing what he was capable of the others felt too nervous to approach him, he looked down and saw Oratile trying to nurse the injured. He moved in her direction, a plank broke apart as it crashed on top of his back. The assailant crouched and the guy swung the bat swung his fist knocking the assailant back. The crowd went nuts.

The plank hero jumped in the middle of the circle and took a fighting stance, the other boys came from the circle screaming. "Ayeye boss," they brought their toughies school shoes crashing down on the assailant. Oratile called them off but the other students picked up rocks and started throwing them down on him.

Injured and seemingly unable to move anymore the students fled the seen after one of them warned of the teachers coming. The assailant caught one unfortunate soul's leg and dragged him down. Laone saw what others did not, a dial.

He screamed for Oratile to back off because she was trying to save the jid caught by the assailant. The teachers ran forward and the screamed brought the students back, one of the teachers kicked the assailant away as the others chased the students away.

The assailant was back on his feet and bloody all over and ran in the direction of the students. Their screams grew wilder, "dassa goddam zombie!"

"We dead, we are dead!"

"Get the fuck out of my way damn bitches."

"God, save me."

One look at the assailant was enough to kick away the sense of fighting back, bloody all over. Because of the assault, he received no one thought that the assailant would still be running, on all fours for that.

One unfortunate student tripped and she could not get up because of the stamped. She turned around to look back in order to properly defend herself, as the legs of the rushing students came to an end she shed a tear joy and tried to stand up. The beast of a man appeared in front of her and pinned her down, after the scare it blew up.

The school bell rang and the students outside the gates rushed inside out the fear of being punished for being late. To their surprise they were opposed by the early birds, some laughing their asses off, others crying, and others just being dumb.
