Chapter 2 - Freaking Anger Issues

𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫'𝗦 𝗣𝗢𝗩

"So, 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 Alastor is more important, huh?" Max said again loud enough for everyone to hear.

I took a short breath and smirked, "Look, Max. I know what your problem is. You are just jealous that you are being treated as the side character. And well, you are. A useless side character." I patted his shoulder while giving him a winning look.

He rolled his eyes, "There's no way I am jealous of that freak."

𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘, ℎ𝑢ℎ?

"You crossed your limits, Max." I cracked my knuckles while glaring at him, "But you know that I have the power to expel you from school. So be careful or else your so-called pride and prestige in your school and family will turn into shit in no time."

I gave him a stern look before walking out of there.

It's true that I have the power to expel him from school because I have the proof that he takes drugs and smokes cigars. I have tons of photos and videos of them. I will show the photos to everyone if he says ANYTHING bad about my Al.

"Alex.." I heard a very familiar voice and I turned my head to the side, just to realize that it was Alastor.

"Alastor.." A smile formed on my lips, "What are you doing here?"

"Did something happen..." He asked while scratching his head.

I shook my head, "No, no." I walked to the washroom and sighed.

𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝐼 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑖𝑚...𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔...

I leaned against the sink and sighed again. Then I heard some boys talking and entering the washroom. I pretended to wash my hands while they also stood by the sinks.

"Hey, have you heard the rumour that Alastor cheated in yesterday's test? No wonder how he gets A's in all tests." A boy said while washing his hands and I paused.

"Yeah. I think it's not a rumor but the truth." The other boy replied.

I tied my hair while keeping the hair band in-between my lips, staring at the sink with a stern look on my face.

𝐴𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡. 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡? 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡.

"He is so filthy and lewd. No wonder why he has no friends. It serves him righ-"

I clenched my fist and punched him right on his face. He stumbled back and fell on the floor with blood coming from his nose.

"What the fuck, man?!" The other boy shouted while grabbed my collar.

I gave him a stern, intimidating look with half lidded eyes.

The boy whom I had punched earlier got up while keeping his hand over his bleeding nose, "What's wrong with you?!"

"Why do you think I beat the motherfuckers who talk shit about people behind their back?" I took the hair band from my lips and tied my hair.

"Don't tell me that you like that freak.." He said with a look of disgust on his face.

I growled and clenched my fists to speak but-

"It's so fucking obvious. You like the freak. But you know what? No one will like a fucking arrogant, short-tempered and disgusting motherfucker like you." The other boy said while pointing his index finger at me.

I grabbed his finger and twisted it until a cracking sound was heard.

"OW!! Fuck! Stop!!" He pulled his hand away, "You broke my finger!!"

I was about to give him a punch but the other boy got the hint.

"Let's go now!" He grabbed his arm and dragged him outside while gulping.

"I swear, everyone hates you psycho!" He shouted before they were out of my sight.

I growled and punched the mirror, breaking it into pieces. My gaze was still stern. I stared at the broken pieces while jerking the blood off my knuckles.

I took a soft breath and washed my hands again before walking back to the class.

"Alex! There you are!" Jake grabbed my shoulders from behind.

I turned back to give him a growl, "What do you want now?"

He faked a sigh, "I am sorry for what happened earlier, bro... Max's a psycho, ignore him. And.. I was just wondering if I could get your notes."

I growled and walked to my seat, without saying anything.

"Here you go, fucker." I threw my notebook at him which he failed to catch and got hit on his face.

𝐵𝑢𝑙𝑙'𝑠 𝑒𝑦𝑒. I smirked.

Then the teacher arrived and everyone stood up from their seats, "Gooodmorninng, teacheerrrr."

"Morning, everyone. Take your seats." replied Mister Henry; the history teacher.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes before glancing at Alastor. He was looking so cute like always. I wonder what he is thinking about...

"Has everyone done their homeworks?" Mr. Henry asked while writing today's topic on the board.

"Yes, teacher~" The whole class said and I continued to stare at my Alastor.

"I wish I could get some pizza right now." Max said while keeping his hands behind his head as I, he and Jake were walking to the school canteen.

"I wish that your wish doesn't come true." Jake chuckled.

"Hey!" Max crossed his arms.

I smirked and then my eyes fell on Alastor.

I fixed my collar and walked to him, "Hi, Alastor!"

He flinched a little.

𝐷𝑖𝑑 𝐼 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑙𝑒 ℎ𝑖𝑚?

"Yes?" He looked at me while holding a sandwich in his hands.

I smirked and sat down across him, "Why are you eating alone?"

"Why do you care..." He looked down while taking a bite of his sandwich.

I leaned on my hand while looking at him, "Because I do."

"What happened to your hand.." he asked with wide eyes while looking at my knuckles.

"Well.. I.."

"Give it here!" He quickly pulled my wrist and gently wrapped his handkerchief around my knuckles, "Why do you have to be so careless?! Did you punch someone again?! Why don't you take care of yourself?!"

𝐻𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑤𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒.

I couldn't help but smirk, "Alastor... you care about me, right?"

He paused for a moment and looked away, "N-No.."

I chuckled, "Aw, that made me sad.."

He looked down at his sandwich again, "Shouldn't you be with Max and Jake?"

I scratched my head and said, "Nah. I'd rather keep you company."

I swear that he blushed and I smirked.

He looked down at the table again while continuing to eat his sandwich slowly.

I chuckled, "Alastor, there is some ketchup on your cheek."

"Oh.." he tried wiping it off with his sleeve.

"No no, it's on the right side. Here, let me help." I reached my hand out to wipe the ketchup from his cheek but my thumb touched his soft lips.

His eyes widened for a second and his cheeks turned red.

"Are you okay?" I chuckled at his cuteness.

But he just smacked my hand away and ran away while covering his head with his hoodie.

"Alastor, wait!" I ran after him and saw him running to the washroom.
