Chapter 1

  I sluggishly turned around the block to see the main gates of my school, or should I say... Hell.

The weather was cold and foggy after last night's rain, and I just hated it.

    As I crossed the road to enter hell, an ash BMW 3 series splashed the road's muddy water on me.

   I was fuming mad, I opened my eyes,  as the biggest, most stupid bully in the whole of Chesterfield High, Josh, threw a bag of rubbish at me and yelled;

"Loser"

I heard him and his bunch of friends laugh like wild hyenas.

'Uhh, I hate this place so much.'

I couldn't help but think,

"I already looked like a piece of crap, and now I looked like a homeless hobo! "

'Can this day get any worse?'

I screamed in my head.

  As I got near the school, I saw Josh and his friends bully Keres, the only person I could consider as a friend.

And of course, I wouldn't let that happen, so I walked up to them and told Josh,

   "Don't you have anything to do Josh?"

  "Hahaha look at this piece of shit, wanting to be a superhero." Josh mocked.

"Have a look at yourself doofus, you look like shit literally,  and you stand in my face to talk to me." He added.

   After he saw our headmistress, Ms Mircalla heading our way,  he dropped Keres' petite body to the floor with a thud.

"Are we having problems here Mr. Josh?" Ms Mircalla asked as if she didn't know the answer already.

'Pathetic '

"No Ms Marcella we don't have a problem here. I was just showing these students some manners. " Josh replied.

'As if he has any'

  "Good. Mr. Sebastian this is an institution for teaching and learning, wearing clean clothes is a necessity, not an obligation."

She said as Josh and his goons snickered behind her.

She gave me a disgusted look, turned to Keres who was still on the floor,  gave him an unhappy smile, turned on her heels and walked away.

'Ugg I just hated that woman pretending to be good but just a selfish woman who followed money like a dog.'

As Josh and his goons walked away, I  went to Keres and helped him get his butt off the floor.

"I can't believe the headmistress supports that bully. " Keres murmured.

Well,  Josh's father owned the power supply of the whole city,  so he was raised as a spoilt rich jerk. That was one of the many reasons why he never got punished because if you messed with him,  he could tell his daddy to make sure no electricity came to your house.

His father had also bribed every teacher in the school, so even when Josh failed in class he still got promoted.

  "He is such a jerk". Keres hissed.

      "Well forget about him,  have you heard? The new PS5 Ultra comes out today! We have to get it. And with all our savings we can afford it." I had to change the topic, it was making me infuriated.

  Well, the trick seemed to work as Keres gave a brief description of the PS5 ultra. I had to excuse myself to change. Thank the heavens that I had some spare top and jeans. I quickly changed and headed to class.

   We had Biology just great. Our teacher, Mr. Zane went on and on about the cells of plants and animals.

  I was not interested in the topic. I just couldn't wait till school was over.

  And finally, it was.

****

     I and Keres rushed out of the school and walked a few blocks to the city mall. Once in,  we rushed to the games centre. There was a small queue of about fifteen people and we scurried to join them.

    What seemed like hours later,  it was finally our turn.  As the cashier gave me the blue-black box,  it brought it closer to my face and sniffed it,

  Ha,  it had that new box smell.

   "Please can you move over, other customers are waiting. " The cashier sounded

  I immediately moved over before the mob of customers pushed me away.  I joined Keres at a corner soon.

     "I can't wait to get home snd and rip this box open!" Keres hauled.

       "Me too!" I had to chime in.

As we were going out,   everything seemed to just stop. An old-looking woman came right up to me and put a vial in my pocket, she then softly said,

  "Rise Hero of the Weak"

She turned around and just... vanished into thin air.

I stopped in my tracks and turned around looking for her.

    "Hey man, what you looking for?" Keres asked.

  "Didn't you see an old-looking woman giving me something?"  I  turned around again looking for her.

  "Ugh, no we were just walking and you stopped to just stare in the air,  no one gave you anything."

   "Are you sure?" I questioned.

   "Totally."

  Maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. As I reached down in my pocket, I felt something, it was cold to the touch but very warm. And I knew it was the vial the woman gave me.

But according to Keres, no one came near me, so what is this?

Voodoo, witchcraft, magic.Hmm

I should really stop watching those fantasy movies.
