"Hello , Maria." I waved at her as if she was a good friend of mine .
"Hey , don't act like we used to be besties in middle school . Even if we were , I wouldn't have recognised you with that ugly outfit ." I scoffed when she told that .
"This is called comfortability . I see that that's one of the things that you don't have . Also , you only knew me in middle school . We are so far away from then so I advice for your safety , save yourself and leave me . Alone." The memories she has of me are of me being very weak .I hadn't fought back even once so what I told only made her laugh her head off . I just shrugged at her , since I expected this reaction from her. "I warned you."
Maria took out a Slurpee from her bag and went to throw it at me . I held her wrist , keeping her from moving it forth but she didn't need to do that anymore . She just tilted her hand to my side but I knew better . I changed my hold from her wrist to her hand and tilted the Slurpee making it fall on her blonde hair , as well as the purple jacket she was wearing .
"YOU!!! I'll make you pay for this !" She was so angry but sadly , she didn't scare me anymore . She actually took her makeup box out of her bag and came at me . She must've thought that I was unable to fight or something . I couldn't believe that she still couldn't understand my difference . She was the same age as me but still immature .
I grabbed her makeup bag and hit her on her nose . She cried out and finally ran away from the bathroom . She was so useless . All I did was make her nose bleed a little . Not even serious ! But she acted like I broke her neck . I was free to go now so I went outside . I was about to go out of the shopping mall when a male voice kept shouting "Hey!!! " It was irritating so I just looked back and saw that he was actually calling me .
"Hey Lady ! You assaulted this woman for no reason in the bathroom !" I looked behind him to see none other than Maria , acting like she owned the place and was about to let other's witness what Justice was . She had made tears fall from her eyes and it also looked like she went through trouble just to break her nose badly . I knew that I hadn't shoved the makeup box up her face that hard !
"I didn't break her nose . That's none of my business ." I didn't even want to explain myself to him because I knew that she would have said something or even gave something to make him out on a show . "Then we need to go to the interrogation room in the mall to have a clear talk "
"Not interested in indulging in something that I didn't even do." This even made Maria's jaw drop because I had never talked back to anyone . To her , I was an introvert , who had trouble saying a simply 'Hi' to others .
The security must have felt the uneasy stare from Maria to him to make him get me so he grabbed me by arm pulled me . Of course , I couldn't use my powers that was visible to the other customers and staffs so I only gave a small electric shock to the security , which made him let o of my hand .
He looked at me as if I was an animal and grabbed me again . I shocked him again. He grabbed me again and I shocked him . Again . He gave up and finally spoke . "Are you some kind of animal ? Can you shock people if they touch you ?" It was unbelievable so people around us only laughed at the security but Maria seemed to sense something so she came forward and held me . The feeling of being touched on our same arm , on the same spot was so irritating so I shocked her too. She pointed her finger at me , which looked like it's nail's were done recently , and shouted , "This girl can shock you if you touch her . " The last group of people who had also heard the security tell about this , became curious and came towards me to touch me . I didn't want to be called a freak so I naturally stood simply and avoided using my powers just because of agitation .
Slowly , after having their own turns , I was left alone and they left , calling the security and Maria as 'Freaks' . I smiled slyly and left , whereas they looked at me disbelievingly stared at me up and down .
"I warned you" I repeated my words to Maria , standing at a distance when a new group of people stared at us three , without knowing what happened . Nobody believed them and it was so fun to watch our enemies being humiliated .
Having had my part of fun , I left the mall and went back home . Ben was waiting for me at the front door . Even though we were together in this case , I still felt like he was a stranger to me . Last night , he had looked so terrified that I felt sorry for him . "Hey, did you find anything ?" He asked while his pupils grew , expecting good news from me .
"No , but I had a great reunion with my middle school bully ." He laughed at my sarcasm .
"How did payback feel like ?" I looked at him in confusion and asked , "How did you know that I got revenge and didn't get bullied?"
"The bitterness in your voice and happy expression told me everything . Also , I know what you can do so I couldn't expect any less form you ." I chuckled at his reply .
"Then let's see if we can find anything else . Gosh , those men are so intelligent !" I sighed .
"Well , all of us are in this . We can help each other ." I smiled because of his trust and the both of us went inside .
