Gosh that depleted all my stored potential energy that is why I didnt want to have anything to do with energy sucking things like that. I feel the call of nature because of that cola so I will take a leak first before going to classroom. My goal right now is to research about this stars because I think that there purpose is something very important. So those four individuals I need to make a surveillance on them and if they suddenly get into a serious accident while I know that something is going to happen to them that will really put a bitter taste at my mouth. Like what always Mom said Do what you could do right now as tomorrow is not always guaranteed. I enter the bathroom for male then go to one of the uniral, While I was taking a leak a hear a sob echo in one of the cubicles. I didnt pay attention to it as anyone have there own problems that they faced and my motto is do not do it if you cant finish it. So sticking my face to someones problem is a thing I never done in my life. As I was about to leave after washing my hands and just continued in ignoring the sobbing that grow louder and louder I then finally hear the voice that is crying in one of the cubicles.
"Mom Dad Im sorry I cant really take it anymore huhuhu please forgive me huhuhu Im sorry for having a garbage son like me huhuhu"
The voice was like from someone that carry heavy burden that he cant put down. The parting words that coming from him was heard by myself and knowing the thing that will follow was not something I can ignore anymore. I was cursing why did he need to say those parting words and let me hear it and pass a burden to me when I am just taking a leak. If youre gonna suicide you need to do it in a place you are alone what an idiot. I walk with angry steps towards the cubicle where the voice is coming and like he heared my footsteps the sobbing subside but he is still crying. I want to slap the face of that bastard that pass responsibilities to others and when I am in front of the cubicle my anger was fully manifested. Then with a lift of my right leg I send a heavy kick in the cubicle that I am sure will be locked. The lock broke and the door opened wide then I see the perpetrator the individual I was just thinking about. Shivering while holding a bottle of Muriatic acid with his lunch box and food scattered in the dirty floor. With slimy and smelly liquid that cover him and a broken glass that will fall any moment in those eyes. I let out a sigh as I understand why this boy have a black star hovering above his head
Bullying a very mean Bullying
"Hey you wanna die?"
He is not replying
"If you gonna die then dont let others know you will kill yourself and left bad taste in there mouths"
He is clenching his fist
"Are you angry? Dont die here as there was still classes coming up I need to listen to lesson as I have big dreams. So making a commotion by having your dead body here will surely stop classes in a week or two for investigation so dont die here right now find some place you can die alone"
"So your saying my life is not worth as a week of classes?"
The bestacled boy said without any strength in his voice
"Yeah your not worthit as those lessons because a man that in his teens that just let himself be eaten by things like this and plan to take his own life that he didnt even think was just given to him and should cherish on. A man that didnt think the sacrifice from those people that what makes him right now. Those painful childbirth, those expensive milk formula, those food they give you to grow your body that you will just kill yourself, the knowledge, the money, the support, the love, the care, the time, the thought!!!! Just thinking of you makes me want to puke I dont know what heavy problem your bearing right now but is that as heavy as those children that have a falling napalm bomb drop in their heads in Syria? Is that as heavy as those African children dying in hunger? Is that as heavy as thinking about how to budget your 50 pesos and feeding your family of 6? Then if not fuck off and lets go now as we still have class"
I steal the Muriatic acid in his hands then move him away from the toilet he is sitting into. I open the lid and the smell of heavy chemical waft through the air. I empty the whole bottle of the acid in toilet bowl then look at him and said while laughing.
"Hahaha who is in their right mind will use muriatic acid to suicide your an idiot right well anyway do you want to be my friend idiot?"
....
I was ready to die my mind that is thinking that highschool life will be the spring of my life was nowhere to be found of now. I grow up in a stable family that pampered and shower me with love and care I have illusions that life will be going fine if I just became a good man. But that thing only last till Im on on Junior High when I properly make a debut to my Highschool life the reality hit me hard. The people that call me friend with there malicious smile and drag me like a person without any dignity. A play and fun thing they called that made me question if this people still even see me as a same species as them. Well it should me also my fault as I never learn to say No for being afraid that my highschool life will be horrible and now that I think about it my situation is laughable. Im beyond horrible right now hahaha I need just someone to understand me but like a kid crying for a stealed candy there is nothing I can do. Life never go the way you want when you just passively stand and wait it to happen like me and learning about that mistake of mine want me to end it all as maybe when I wake up again everything will be fine. In short I want to escape! I want to quit! I cant do it anymore!
That is when he entered my life. Well he didnt really enter hahaha he kick it open for me.
.....
In the Infirmary after the nurse in charge get out to get something we started to have a serious conversation and I cant help but be shocked on all the information I get.
"So your saying to me that you didnt complain and just kept all this bullying to yourself? Why?"
"You will not understand as you have strong personality but I am really timid and if there is no more group that accept me I will feel left out you know I dont want to be an outcast"
John paul in short Paul with a nickname of Potpot said while scratching his face
"Hayyyysss my head is hurting because of you so that means that the bullying was done for 1 and a half years now? And you just endure them all"
"Well when we are first year they have different target but that guy transfer school so when we became second year they change there target to me hahaha so it was just when we became 2nd year so they bully me for half a year hahaha"
"Hahaha? You want me to hit your head are you on your right mind joining people you know was toxic? Hayyyss I cant understand how your brain works but now that we are friends you hang out with me, eat with me, chat with me, play with me if I have time, and study with me so you can just let go of those friends of yours Right Paul?"
Paul have a skinny figure and weak presence so that is why he would be picked on. He look at me then like he was about to cry again he said
"Vincent do you mean it?"
"What the heck I am already so embarassed spouting all this cheesy words then you will still question me? Right Ill be your friend so we will support each other I cant let my self see you killing yourself my conscience cant take it"
"Hehehe so you pity me"
"Yeah you are so pitiable thats why you need someone to walk beside you. Anyway we are already late for the class so lets just wait here for the next period"
"Youre good hehehe I dont know you will be this kind of person Vincent. I think you are the type to be anti social and can do anything but now I see you still care in people in your surrounding..... Huhuhu thanks for those words you said I almost make a very terrible mistake Huhuhu so even if you just gonna be my friend out of pity I will treasure it"
"Ok now that everything is fine so there is no problem"
I look at Paul that have already lost the black star floating in his head then it became colorless after that it became blue. I gaze in the ceiling thinking that something seems to click with each other. I sigh as I think my wild guess seems right but something is still missing. Well there is still three person with black stars maybe I will find the answers on them but if this theory of mine is complete and if what I think of this power is right then I am wielding something that cant be converted in any value. As I was thinking complicated thoughts Paul call my name
"Hey Vincent what is your hobby"
I look at him and he looks like a maiden asking something to a man she have a liken to. I want to brush his face that is getting closer and closer to me but I cant do that as I picked up this baggage called friend. Hayyysssss
"Video Game, Reading and Working"
"Video Game!!!!!!!!!!!! You say Video Game!!!!!!!!!! My soulmate my lost Best friend who like Video game like me. A destined meeting Huhuhu"
I see his eyes shining like a light house within those broken lenses and I cant help but feel that I have picked up something that I shouldnt. He is like a lunatic that have a Manic attack and having a seizure his movements are so comedic that before I know it
"Hahahahaha what is that movement hahahaha what are you an earthworm hahaha stop doing that its funny hahahaha"
I laugh out loud again after very long time that I dont even remember when.
