Chereads / A Rift to Abaddon / Chapter 2 - Bullied

Chapter 2 - Bullied

Outside the school cafeteria

Dark clouds looms above the sky but despite the cold and wet atmosphere, Kado still decided to eat his lunch box outside more peacefully.

He stood up from where he was crouching and went to buy his usual corn juice at the nearest vending machine.

When he was about to withdraw the can from the machine, a man suddenly bumps into him and knocking him on the ground- embracing the impact with his butt.

"Oh its just you Kado! didn't see you there"The man was gruntly laughing as he went to grab the juice he just bought.

"Are you trying to supplement your weak body with this 'nutritious' juice? what a joke!" He added after reading the label on the can.

It was his gym instructor. Hes been treated far worst than a pig in this school that even his instructors were making fun of him. He had no place to be and it was one of the more reasons why his life became so miserable.

"Hey Thats mine! Old man!"He tried to argue, but when his instructor's gaze fell heavily on him- It gave him the cold sweat.

"You talk back like a c*nt now huh?, Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"he then crushed the can of juice he was holding above Kado's head, soaking his hair and his shoulder.

Other students who were passing by, saw this and just couldnt contain but laughed at the sight of him.

Kado was so embarassed that he wants to dig a hole and hid there for a while. He was so miserable that Its like wherever he goes, he earned the best title for the sole laughing stock of everything.

'A walking circus'. A perfect title granted for a loser like him. His life's been at constant pieces every since the bullying started. And he was at the verge of snapping out and going insane because of this.

A life of a bullied person sucks. He hated his life more than anyone hated his.

Some random guy even throws an egg and hit him directly on his face. He was just standing still and he could hear the laughter of those annoying bastards.

The instructor sneered at him one last time at this miserable sight and smack his head with his hand and walks away.

"HEEEEEEYYY!" Finally Kado snapped out and got irritatedly mad. He thought it was time to stand up for himself and end all of this once and for all.

The people and the instructor stopped their tracks and turn to look at where the voice was coming. Then his right arm flew straight above his head giving them all the finger to see.

"F****KKK ALL OF YOU!" As he cussed this words from the bottom of his lungs, the others simply laughed it off and dismissed an insult of his level and giving him a finger in return.

But the instructor wasnt like that. He couldn't stand the insult from this lowlife person.

His vein bulged out on his head as he was angered and immediately throws a punch directly aiming for Kado's face.

Kado was so slow thus leaving him no chance to react. He couldnt defend himself and few seconds later, he blacked out from the blow and fell to the ground unconciously.

Everyone who was watching were also caught surprised but then they thought it was funny and Kado deserves it. And continues to mocks him more.

A few seconds later, the clouds finally released a shower as people were running arround to take cover. Leaving Kado lying all alone on the cold floor while some people just passes through him.

One woman even hit his hand that was on her way.

Some time later on. It was getting dark and it was everyone's time to be going home by now, as fewer people thins out from the school.

Kado was still lying down on the ground but conscious and wide awake. He decided to stay for a little while longer, blankly staring at those clouds against the rain in contemplation.

As rain was continuosly tapping on his face, an umbrella unexpectedly covered his line of vision and was surprise to see a familliar face.

It was his childhood friend, Remi. He covered his face with his arm signaling that he was too embarassed with his current condition.

"Woahhh "

He was startled when she suddenly held him by his arm using her insane brute strength forcing him to get him up.

"Seriously, Remi.. stop using that weird strength you have whenever you feel like it to me." He spoke awkwardly while gently patting himself off some dirt.

"You really have the strength of a gorilla" he added."That power suits you"

"What did you say??" She looked him up straight to his eye with smile that can turn steel daggers into molten.

"E-err..i-im sorry.."

♦♦♦

As night fell, street lights and stars were multiplying depicting a sweet chilly night sky while they were walking down the sidewalk.

Remi is a known rifter in our school. She accidentaly stumbles upon an unattended EXP cube lying on some marble rock when she was out in the forest on our summer camping. Talk about luck, she instantly became a rifter after one agent contacted her personally. Which ofcourse, explains her brute strength.

The rain was fading away as buses and cars was wooshing away on the street . When suddenly a random car run over a deep puddle and splashing the water off of them, soakly.

"Alright just stay there and take cover next time"

"How mean.." He thought and had no choice but to comply.

"So who did that to you this time"she springed a question like a baseball ball was thrown directly into my gut. I was too embarassed to answer that question.

I was left no choice but to tell her the whole story and this made her burn in fury while listening.

Suddenly, another wave of water splashed them both, soaking them completely again.

Remi was showing frustration while yelling at the cars till moment on, she finally calmed down and both of us continued chatting until the oblivious cold moon took us to where she was living.

Then i noticed her dad at the door shooting cold glares at me.

Damn geezer, your worry is not necessary when she has the strength to cripple 10 men by herself.

I left soon after that and walked down a long dark narrow street where the sky was the only source of light. Until i arrived at the door of my small apartment.
