It was another day as I stood in front of the college gates thinking about the niggas in my classroom waiting to make my day hell. It wasn't like I couldn't fight them off but I couldn't afford killing someone over mere poking of my skin by them. Even though I found it irritating, I had calmed the best down so I don't get found out in the school. Ever Best College Of Education, was the second college I had attended in one year. And I didn't want to keep on with it transferring to one school to the other because of my my behavior which even if I wanted, I could do nothing about. The school had tall buildings and painted in various colors which when you stood on the mountain at the back in the forest, you could make out a painting of a bunny. That was one of the reasons I loved the school premises even though with my qualifications, I could attend the most popular school in the country. I kept on my glasses and messed my hair then pulled up my hoodie to cover my head with my hands in my pocket I made my way to the entrance. Surprisingly, there was no one at the entrance except myself even though it didn't sit well with me, I still went ahead. A few steps inside and a ball came rushing my way, I dodged it and looked at the direction it came from to find the back of a boy running away. I thought that was it, so I went on, a few more steps in and volleyballs came rushing away but this time I couldn't dodge it since if I did, I would be revealed which they very much wanted me to do. Before anything could be done, the balls landed on my body hurting my mouth and hands. I felt someone behind and I turned to look at the person but then his hand reached in front of me and caught a ball which was flying directly into my face.
He kept it down and looked at the boys who did you that and were ready to laugh at my misery but his glare and momentum sent shivers down their skin as he bowed down to pick another ball with another. He looked into their faces and turned back to me with a smirk on his face and then he winked, then he asked,
"New boy? I'm also new, how about a good fight?..."
I shook my head silently and made my way to the classroom ignoring him but instead of him getting angry for me walking out on him even after his help, he ran to me laughing and held my shoulder laughing, then said,
"I was only joking man, I am Fred, what's yours?"
"Alister is my name. " I whispered and got away from his touch.
"Stop acting this way, I know who you are, the hunter that never eats his meat right?"
I looked at him astonished, but he only threw his hand and said,
"It's nothing your secret is safe with me, this I promise. Let's get to know each other more, I'm sure we would be either good friends or the worst enemies. "
He said and ran down the hall, as I looked behind his back in contemplation.
'What did he mean?' I thought.
