Wes Wayne known now as one thirty was a thorn in most of the kids skin. It's no surprise that where people are gathered some sort of hierarchy will also arise and One thirty was at the top and also a full fledged bully.
He calls himself the top dog and indeed looks like one, been the oldest among the kids around. Just 14 he was uncommonly tall and huge, except for the little baby fats still on his face one may mistake him for an adult.
One thirty got his ideal of trying to be on top others from his elder brother Gabriel Wayne, who is a big crime lord in New York city. Out there in New York, he was always in his brother's shadows who tried to protect him at all cost. But in here, he thinks it is an opportunity to know how it feels to be feared and respected by others and he has almost accomplish that, except he was wary of one person and that was Forty four.
No one knew this, but he tried to avoid forty four as much as possible cause of the history they had together. He knew that behind that smile and cheerful demeanour of forty four there was a mad dog like boy hidden in him.
"One thirty!!!!"
The cafeteria chatters was immediately smothered out by the shout. All eyes except one turned to where it came from. Forty four with his dreadlocks scattered along his face could be seen matching into the cafeteria with Five behind him.
His destination was obvious, it was to the person been called and the only person still eating his food as if what was happening didn't have any business with him.
But all the calmness he was showing now was all false bravado, cause he was trembling inside and with every step forty four made, tugged at his heart.
As Forty four got close to One thirty, the few henchmen or better still henchkids he had gathered rose up and stopped his advancement.
"Where'd you think you are going". One of them asked, but forty four didn't back down, he stood there and stared at him as if calculating how he will take them all down.
Five who obviously wasn't a coward and will gladly fight along his friend but at least not fight a losing fight because of the sheer numbers of the other side tried to pull out forty four on his shoulder but he just shrugged it off. He looked around, and saw all eyes on them, he then looked at the direction of the guards but as usual they just stood in their positions like statues.
"Still involving other's to fight your fights huh".Forty four started taunting One thirty who was still scooping food gradually into his mouth.
"Come on let's finish what we started you and I alone, or is the top dog scared of a little black dog." No one noticed One thirty hand that he was using to hold the spoon getting tighter and the metal spoon gradually bending due to pressure. "I thought you wanted to be like your brother, seems you can't really fight for yourself like him, now your brother isn't here to protect you like usual and once again you cower under other people."
*Snap*.. the spoon he was holding finally broke into two and out of anger either from the broken spoon or the tauntings he slammed his palm on the cafeteria table which was made of strong metal and it caved in.
This display jolted everyone in the cafeteria, even the motionless guards started paying more attention to what is happening, but no one was more surprised than the perpetrator itself.
One thirty knew he was strong, but not this impossible strong, he could feel the amount of strength coursing through his body at the moment and he knew exactly who to direct it to. "Stay down boys, I will deal with this shit myself." All the kids blocking forty four immediately cleared the path for him. Five who was also shocked by what happened also stepped back since it wouldn't exactly be fair to fight against one person, but most importantly he likes to avoid a fight as much as he can and only fights of there's no other choice.
"Looks like the top dog finally decided to show his face". Forty said not looking intimidated one bit by what happened. To have the element of surprise on his side he immediately punched One thirty on his face, but the latter face just moved to the side which he turned back to stare at him again. Gasps of children enveloped the room.
Six more punches from forty four with the same result each followed by shocked gasps from the other kids around, he finally stopped not because he was tired but because his hands started hurting, he felt as if he was punching a wall and not human flesh, even with the pain coming from his hands he still kept a brave front. He was planning on sending out another punch but One thirty was quicker and he became the receiving end of a punch on the right cheek.
The unnatural force from the punch sent Forty four falling over, with blood spilling from his mouth. Before he could stand on his feet, he was picked up by One thirty with his feet dangling in the air.
Five couldn't stand it anymore and he immediately started rushing over to help his friend, but noticing his movements One thirty threw forty four towards him with great Force that it sent both of them tumbling some distance away with pains writhing their body.
"You always had a big mouth, now what happened to it?." One thirty taunted back.
"You punch like a girl." Forty four mocked with a fit of cough following next. This made One thirty's face to darken once more and as he took his first step towards five and forty four his eyes immediately became heavy and he fell down. On his back a tranquilizer dart was embedded on it.
On one of the guards hands a tranquilizer gun could be seen. "We have our first Neo." The guard said to the earpiece in his ear. It didn't take long before two guards came and dragged One thirty away and this little fiasco helped to remind everyone that they were not exactly in a normal school and shouldn't get too comfortable with their environment, there's a lot they didn't know yet.
