"Yeah...." Sandy agreed not hearing the last word, somehow he recollected "wait what? Dance?"
"It's just that Jade over there." He pointed towards Jade who was looking at them, Confused "played a little too fast. And the intensity of it made you dance a bit too rough."
"Neillllllllllll... What are you...." Sandy yelled
"I want the class to know the reason why you don't seem to get along." Neil finished placing a hand on Sandy's mouth and applied a little force to it so he doesn't let out a word.... All what the class could hear was muffles from Sandy whose eyes has gone wide with anger.
"It's my fault guys, am sorry." Jade stood up and bowed. It seemed she understood what Neil was doing.... Finally somebody does,
"I got carried away when playing."
"What!!!." Was the chorus voice of everyone in class, although Sandy was muffling. One can still pick up what he was saying. The only people silent was Neil, Delia and Jade. Jade lifted her head to see the faces of confused teenagers waiting for explanation, including Sandy who's still confused.
"Delia.... Sandy.... Am sorry I ruined your perfect dance." Jade continued. "It's just that I never knew you were a good dancer so I got carried away and played very intense... Please forgive me."
Jade had to think fast, what she has to say to make the lie a bit perfect to everyone. And just did. Neil nodded, turned and gave Delia a look that was understandable to her. She nodded.
"Accepted." She said with calmness, Sandy who could no longer bear the lie was about to speak but somehow.... He felt he was about to convulse. Neil had closed his mouth for too long, not just his mouth..... But nose too, that explained why he was short of breath; thinking it was the lie that made him lose his breath.
Neil noticed and quickly removed his hand from Sandy's mouth.
"Are you really going to kill me because of that?" Sandy asked Neil angrily. He just finished his sentence before recollecting himself, he was still in class and everyone is staring with mouth opened. He turned his head towards Neil, dark auras around him..
Neil smiled knowing Sandy was going to kill him... Like right now
"Neil...." Sandy looked at him with face of a demon about to slay his prey
"Yeah..." Neil answered with sweat dripping, "wasn't it supposed to be cold around here, why am I sweating?" He thought
"Am going to kill you.' Sandy yelled, Neil shrieked like a cat before a dog.
Then there was a cloud of dust, coming from the two of them.. As they engage in a marathon race.
"Wait... I want you to tell me when it happened?" Sandy snared.
"If I am to wait....." Neil looked back, still running "I will become a barbecue."
"That's good to know because am really going to have your head on a fork." Sandy conjured a card with the image of trident on it
"Where are you going to find a fork mate."
"It's right here." Sandy brought out a trident. A golden trident with silver tilts and it glinted to the tips.. What a fine trident but the wielder seemed different. He had a horn and a tail..... What, a horn and tail? He let out a laugh that send chill down the spine.
"Sandyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..." Neil yelled running faster, real fast.... Maybe light speed.
"Am going to tear you to pieces Neil." Sandy laughed devishly.
Neil haven't had this much fun for a long time, and for the first time in a long while. He had a friend now, not of his class and attitude but the bond between them was strong.... Stronger than any bond he has ever had; except his sister, for he plays not with anything that has to do with her.. Because she was his everything and no one will ever fill her gap, for it was because of her he didn't commit suicide..
"It was like the trident is close. Isn't it?" Neil turned and saw the trident close to his.... His....
"My ass?" Neil yelled. "Are you planning on impaling me through my ass?"
"I want the whole class... see you Dance." Sandy laughed..
That laughter.... Guess he wasn't kidding but what's up with this guy anyway? Neil decided to use his gift as well. He searched for a target to swap himself with, which he did and slowed down a bit so sandy would get close
Some of the student went outside to watch the drama, laughing at the boys.
"It's like they haven't played for a long time." Chiyo said looking at the girl she was with at the train station.
"One can't say for sure." She giggled. "But that guy is quite an athlete."
"Seeing him run like that... He would be an Olympic medalist." The guy with the flower said.
"I don't think so." Jade concluded
"If he could pull a stunt like that to prevent another big fight." Jade thought "This boy never stops to amaze me.."
"He's getting tired isn't he." Jayden asked the guy on speck. The speck guy placed his hand on his specks and adjusted it on his nose.
"I don't think so.... He is planning something." The guy with speck said.
"And what would that be." Jayden asked
"I can't say for sure." He said "But am not a witch doctor for crying out loud."
"You calculate life itself, even to the very...." Jayden paused to look at his sister who pretended not to listen.. She was waiting for him to finish.
"The size of breasts in our cla...." BAAAANGGGGGGG....
He was shut up by a heavy knock or should It be called down cut from his sister, it pushed Jayden's head towards the ground.... She's red with anger.
"When did you become a pervert you idiot." She asked yelling.
Tears gashed out of Jayden's eyes like an open hose..... Placing fear in the other student around there.. She's terrifying..
Sandy got closer to Neil and lifted his trident to pierce him in the ass with a devilish smile on his face and wide eyes. He thrust the trident towards Neil... The entire class went wide eyed watching, waiting to hear a shout.. A long painful shout.
Suddenly there was dust everywhere and the only thing seen was two vague figures of the same height but there was no screaming..... That wasn't supposed to happen.... Something is off, really off.
"Why isn't anyone yelling?" The guy with the flower asked
"I see..." The guy on speck said adjusting his specks again.
Everyone stared at him
"What do you see?" Jayden who manage to recover from the blow asked although he seemed to have lost strength from the blow.
As the dusts fades away slowly, a cough was heard but it wasn't Neils.... This one was way too mature, way too thick.. Way too manly.
Well Sandy's nightmare has come to pass, he didnt pierce Neil at all but this person was different. Way too muscular, and he had a yellow pinafore that had dirt on its back. A black T-shirt was worn inside and it seemed a little out of size because this person's muscles seemed like it's about to tear it off his arm.
When he stood up; he had a bald head that has a nice hair oil on it and his face had two separate mustache that fell to the side of the mouth close to the jaw... He had yellow gloves on and a thick boot that can destroy a skull if squashed with it. He has a big scissors in his arm,
"This is not Neil." Sandy thought "Or is this part of his gift?"
The funny aspect was..... He had... A... Large grin on his face that made the flesh on the cheeks to cover his eyes. The eyes looked like that of the terminator, glowing blood red color that shows no mercy... Sandy swallowed, sweat trickle down his body and his horn seemed... Oh it's down. And no longer pointing the sky.
"Jones the brutal." The student yelled
"How would you like your head cut?" The man now known as Jones said as he clips the scissors together and opens them.. He did this gesture twice and the sun seems to reflect on it giving it a glint.... Is it the grin or the scissors that glinted... Who cares. Wait a sec. It's not a hair cut but head cut....
All Sandy could think of right now is how to escape the wrath of this ancient Chinese big boss beard man.. One thing ran through his mind... RUN...
"Was that what you saw?" They all asked Mr specks.
He smiled, just then Neil came out where he was. Smoothening himself and walking towards the class.
"I guess you gave up your friend to the number one hyperactive destruction and exterminating machine...." The speck guy was hushed
"Hey... Nerd." Neil moved his head to the left toward him. "English please."
"Well point of correction." The speck guy coughed "It's Ned and not nerd..."
"Can't spot a difference."
"You just sacrificed your friend to..... Jones the brutal." He pointed towards Sandy direction.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP." Sandy yelled
"Oh.... Why is he called the brutal." Neil asked
"Because he beats up people according to their offenses... I remembered he beats up a senior who ruined his flowers by stepping on them and claiming to be right." Ned turned towards Neil "That kid is still in coma."
"What?" Neil's fear was heard from his voice
"Now your friend here forked him in the ass." Ned adjusted his specks again. "That's death sentence...."
Indeed that's a dead sentence..... Because sandy was chased the whole day, he never had lunch nor dinner.. But running food, during break. He ran towards Neil and gripped him by the collar.. His face looked tired
"What did you do." He yelled before he saw Jones again.
The marathon continued
The word that echoed around the school was simple
"Am gonna kill you Neil."
Later at night.. Neil sat at his bed waiting for Sandy to return which he actually just did. He opened the door looking haggard with death sentence written on his face... Dust kept drifting of his body at each step he took.
He walked over to Neil, looked at him for a while
... He was saying something but Neil couldn't figure them out. Before staggering to his bed and laid there without moving a muscles, it seems he has lost all of his strength due to the marathon he engage on.
"Seems you survived Jones the brutal." Neil said breaking the silence
"Yeah I guess I did." Sandy laughed. Neil couldn't help but laughed too.
"Am sorry man." Neil sadly said
"You better." Sandy said lifting his lifeless hand and pointed.
"But you know it serves you right." Neil giggled
"What." Sandy stood up quickly without using his arms for support
"If you weren't arguing, I wouldn't have done it you know..." Neil was about to finish when Sandy pounced on him... Where did he get his strength from..
"I've been running for 11 hours without food and water." He paused as his stomach grumbled "you heared that Neil."
"Heard what ?" Neil laughed
"Dinner... Am gonna have you for dinner." He yelled.
Well guess you know the whole story then.... The rest is up to you to imagine....
