"High school, isn't that a waste of time, what's the essence of it when all your going to get is being bullied, insulted and nagged about".
Like what I said school is one place I wish I could erase from existence, the looks, the smell, the persecution, the fact that no one will stand for you talk less of fighting beside you, the weak always get overpowered and are like slaves to the strong, what kind of a system is that. And unlucky for me am one of the weak.
Everyday have a repeated routine and when I get home, all my mom will do is either complain of how my father's company is overwhelming her's or sober up about my father leaving her to suffer alone. So no matter where I go there is never a minute of freedom and all this lead to depression and lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming was the only place I could express my anger and feel stronger than the people I hate, but no matter what my enemies still remains in my life.
Today is like every other day same routine, like wake up as early as 4am sit on the bed corner crying, take a bath at 6am, always forgetting to wash my hair, then go down for breakfast, that's the system of my life.
"Calvin" the voice echoed along side a heavy footstep. It was my mother dressed in a white Italian made gown, cost about 400 dollars, her hair was been rapped under her neck with a black hair pin allowing some of her black long hair to fall across her slim figured face. She was holding a pink suit jacket that doesn't seem to match her red lipstick and red high hills shoes, but wouldn't it be a waste of time to tell her to recheck her dressing.
"Aren't you late for school, or isn't there school for today? I can't remember hearing anything like that on the news". She majestically walked to the dinner table with all of her attention focus on her phone screen. "Am waiting for the bus". I swiftly replied to my mother's question.
For about 10 minutes there was a common silence between my mother and I. I don't know why but it as always been like that since dad left.
"That reminds me, Calvin what happened to your face? are you being bullied at school?"
Just can't believe she's just noticing the purple dark mark on my left cheek, it's not like she even cares if am bullied or not. "I need to be going now mother" I finally stood up and grab my bag pack heading towards the door, but had to stop and hugged mom, who couldn't stop showering me with lot of kisses.
"Now I have to wash my face cause of your lipstick". I said, but that wasn't a problem for me. I left home waving my career mom a goodbye.
Finally am in the zone of the living dead called "SCHOOL". I place my elbow on the edge of the table and rested my cheek on my palm in boredom, the only reason am still here is to fullfil the desire of my parents.
"Hey Calvin go get us lunch" a voice interrupted my thinking. I raise my head up and turn my face to see who just ordered me, but before I could catch a glance of the person I received a heavy blow from the side, pulling me out of my seat and down to my knee.
It was Billy and his gangs, they are the main reason I hate school. No matter how I try to report them to the school authorities the school always seems to support and cover up for them.
"Get up and go get us all lunch, Calvin the rich boy". They begin to laugh at him including some of my classmates, while some looked at me with pity. I stood up with no option than to go get them all lunch. They were 7 in numbers, all huge and taller than me mostly Billy the head of the gang, I've only looked up at his face once and I still regret what I did that day.
"Okay". Those were the only words I could utter. Walking pass them while I hold my swollen face which wasn't enough damage for them, one of them had to still kick me to the wall. But no matter how pathetic the situation might be I was still going to get them the lunch.
School hours were over. While some where going home with their friend I was at the school top busy being quarried by Billy and his gangs about not getting enough chicken legs for Billy. Again I couldn't utter any word or try to get up as they hit me from different angles and side.
It lasted for about an hour, then they decided to let me be, cause I was no longer moving. I couldn't move, my entire body was in deep pain, and lot of bruises were so visible this time around. I tried to get up but I couldn't.
"Why" I kept on asking my self, I have no friends to help me, the school doesn't see any crime in being bullied, what kind of system is this. Night was arriving and I know I had to go home even if it's with pain. I stood up trying to balance my stamina, use my swollen eyes to look for my bag pack and headed out of the school.
Billy .P.O.V.
"Yo, how much did you say you got this piece of junk Billy? Sam who was with a cigarette asked.
"Won't believe it 30 bucks and a free dog chain".
"What, that's something bro. so what you going to do with a parasite?"
"Why does it look like black thick water? doesn't parasites moves? what's wrong with is one?"
"Or maybe you got a fake one?"
"There's only one way to find out" I said then chuckled.
"And how is that going to happen?"
"Look over there" I pointed at a young boy trying to drag his left feet along with him. It was Calvin Jones our school pets, I just love picking on him cause he's a fuckin rich and spoilt kid with a hot mom. "So now you know what will happen" I said approaching Calvin with my boys.
Calvin .P.O.V.
"Calvin dear".
O my God what is this, not again. It was Billy and his show off gangs, what do they want this time again why this late in the night.
"Calvin". I couldn't move at the mention of my name, I fearfully waited for them all to gather round me. "Please would you mind I would like to go home". I was so foolish to have said anything as I received a hot slap as my reward.
"Get him to his knees" Billy instructed as two boys jack me up and pin me on my knees. I tried struggling with them but I always get hit from the other boys. Billy was holding a dog chain which he has now put across my neck and a jar of black thick water. He opened the jar and poured the water into my ear, my skin could only shiver at the way the strange water completely enters my ear.
"So what does the parasite do anyway?"
"The dude I got it from told me, the parasite eats the brain, but it seems fake since this idiot is still alive. Come on boys let's beat him till he faints this time around". he said holding a iron bat and dragging the chain across my neck.
*Blow*Blow*Blow*Blow*
"Is this going to be my end? Will I die here, without even achieving my dreams of payback to Billy and he's gangs". I said to myself.
"What a pathetic story isn't it?" someone said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Don't you find it shameful for this weakling to be damaging your precious body? why don't you let me help you?"
"Help me" I muttered " I don't even know you, first of all, how did you get to my mind? and why are you naked in my mind?" I said to a man about 5 years older than me. He kinda looks like a weirdo with a handsome and we'll crafted face along with his manly and muscular slim but wide body like he was from a hot manga or something, his hair was black a little bit long but well dressed.
"So what do you say child? do you want to get strong and show this piece of shameless pigs what real power means" The psycho man said dragging me into a strange hug. I don't know why but I feel comfortable around him, even if he looks like a human demon.
"And how is that possible?" I asked.
"All you have to do is lend me your body".
Billy .P.O.V.
"Such a waste, can't believe he already fainted I wanted to last till 12am" I said dragging Calvin with the chain.
"Boss, we shouldn't forget we have to be in that club, remember those ladies who are dieing to have a night with you, we shouldn't waste any more time with this rag" Jack said.
"Your right why don........." I was interrupted by a heavy pain in my chest.
"What the fuck!!!" Matt shouted.
I looked at my chest and all I could see is a big hole and a hand holding my heart, pumping it like it was some kind of toy. Without taking one more breath I collapse on the floor like a vegetable.
Matt .P.O.V.
This can't be happening!! This can't be happening!! how, but he fainted, he had bruises and injures all over his body so how the hell did he healed up and look different all of a sudden, and what the fuck is with his mad smile as he kills my friends. I have to get out of here!! I have to run out of here!!
"Where do you think your going?"
I was too scared to turn back, but also too disgusted to move forward cause I stepped on something that looks like a human brain with the head at my feet. "He has to be a psycho there's no other explanation for this, cause how will a human being be able to kill people like he was killing animals, dragging out their parts with his bare hands, what on heaven name is this!!!"
"What are you? you don't looked like the weak Calvin Jones I know, so tell me what you are!!"
Maybe I should have kept my mouth quiet or even begged for my life then I won't be looking at my right hand on the floor. Screaming was all I could do as this mad man drags my both leg breaking everything bone in my body like I was a fish. He picked up a long metal and gushed it down the center of my stomach, I instantly vomit out blood as my cloth begin to soak in my blood.
He was about to take his leave but stopped "Who am I?" he said without looking back. "Am ZAGA the parasite from hell". with a smile.
His strange smile were the last thing my eyes could picture before taking my last breath.
