"Mhm, game." Said Pharaoh as he shot from the three-point line, the basketball making nothing but net, causing his defender to sigh in exhaustion and frustration.
"Ugh, son of bitch, why can't I win against you, Tut!?" Exclaimed Gwen in annoyance with sweat dribbling down her face onto the floor beneath her as she eyed Tut, who looked completely fine.
"Yo, language Gwen, I'm not a son of a bitch, just call me a bitch, no need to bring my Mom into this. Besides, you should already know why you can't win against me; I've already told you and Pete about my powers; this entire time, you've been fighting a losing battle." Remarked Pharaoh with a smirk as he walked forward, picking the basketball up with one hand before approaching Gwen and wrapping his arm around her shoulder, a difficult thing to do given the height difference between them.
"Tsk, yeah, but you promised me you wouldn't use your powers during the game; it didn't seem like you followed through with your promise, Tut." Stated Gwen with a frown as she looked up at Tut while the two walked toward the bleachers after a tough game.
"Don't be like that, Gwen; just as I promised, I didn't use my powers, but think about it for a second. I've been playing basketball for as long as I can remember; while you only started playing a few years ago after I introduced you to it, so skill-wise, you just haven't had enough time to compete with me." Said Pharaoh, pausing his speech as he tossed his basketball into his backpack while Gwen reached into her own and grabbed a towel to wipe herself.
"Also, take into account, the size difference between each other; I'm 6'5, with a wingspan of 6'4, and I weigh roughly 255 pounds. On the other hand, Gwen, you are only 5'6, with a wingspan of 5'4, and weigh only 143 pounds; it was so unfair from the beginning; why do you think I played such weak defense on you?" Added Tut with a raised eyebrow as he and Gwen looked at each other, with one looking down and the other looking up.
"Hmph, yeah, you've got some freak genetics; what 16-year-old is your size? Even Flash, one of the biggest guys in school, looks small compared to you, let alone me. Also, how the hell do you know how much I weigh?" Remarked Gwen with a huff as she eyed Pharaoh's muscular body and handsome face before frowning and squinting her eyes at him.
"I can hear nearly everything that's happening on the planet, Gwen; you think I can't hear you complaining about your weight whenever you step onto the scale?" Said Tut calmly, folding his arms and looking at Gwen, who clicked her tongue before ignoring him as she wiped herself down.
Backing away, I sat down on the bleachers and watched Gwen, who was wearing small shorts and a sports bra, her usual attire whenever she does something that involves sweating, whether it be playing or exercising, and I'll tell you what, all of her weight went to all the right spots. Gwen wasn't nearly as curvy as Sara, who had a bit more fat on her, but Gwen had that athletic build, which I can definitely see the appeal of.
"What? You've been staring at me this entire time; you need something?" Asked Gwen with furrowed brows as she glanced at Tut, who smirked and shook his head.
"Nope, I was just enjoying the show; you may only weigh 143, but that weight went to all the right spots." Replied Tut with a mischievous grin, causing Gwen to look at her body before blankly looking at him.
"Pervert." Muttered Gwen as she looked away while continuing to wipe herself down.
"Ay, if the TV is on, best know Imma look, Gwen." Said Tut with a smirk as he stood up while appreciating Gwen's physique and curves, causing her to snort, but she would be lying to herself if she didn't like his words.
"Speaking of looking, you've never looked through my clothes, right? You've never seen me naked?" Questioned Gwen solemnly as she intently eyed Tut, who just awkwardly looked away, prompting her to display an ugly expression.
"Hehe, don't look at me like I'm some creep; I'm just joking; of all the people, you'd definitely be the last one to look at; after all, Gwen, I don't want to be that friend, but, you're kind of ugly." Remarked Pharaoh with an amused chuckle as he approached Gwen, who was looking at him with a disgusted expression, only for a blank look to take its place.
"First, you compliment my curves, then you call me ugly; which one is it, Tut? Make up your mind." Asked Gwen with a frown as she folded her arms and glared at Tut, who reached down and rubbed her head like a child, prompting her to slap it away.
Smirking, I was about to make a smart-ass remark, but before I could, I turned to the left, eyeing Flash and his group of buddies through several layers as they attempted to pick on Pete. Thanks to me forcefully feeding him and his boxing training, Pete wasn't the scrawny sixteen-year-old I imaged he would be, though he was by no means big either; he was at best average size with a slightly more muscular build than others; seems genetics is a hard thing to change.
"Hmm, what is it? Don't tell me it's Flash picking on someone again?" Asked Gwen with a slight frown as she looked at Tut's annoyed expression.
"Tsk, yeah, the fool never learns. C'mon, let's go; Pete will be able to hold his own for some time, but if they start jumping him." Said Tut, not finishing his sentence as Gwen already understood the implications.
With Gwen grabbing her backpack, the two of us ran down the halls of the high school portion of the school, which was littered with numerous spooky decorations, before eventually arriving in the hallway Flash, his goons, and Pete were in.
"Beat his ass, Flash! Yeah, show him whose boss! Beat that runt to the next day!" Yelled Flash's goons, who were actually members of the high school football team, with Flash being the Captain.
"Flash, stop!" Yelled a girl with red hair as she tried pushing through the crowd, though with her weak strength, her attempts were proving useless.
"Yo, Mj; did you and Pete get caught by Flash again?" Asked Tut calmly as he walked toward the group, and given his height, he could see Pete and Flash fighting.
When Mj heard my voice, she turned around and looked at the two of us, only to sigh in relief as she approached us.
"Haa, yeah, I had asked Pete for some help on yesterday's homework since I knew Flash would be at practice, but apparently, it was canceled, and well, I'm sure you can envision the rest, Tut." Replied Mj with a sigh of frustration as she looked at the group behind her before glancing at Tut and Gwen, with the latter giving her annoyed looks.
"Yeah, I probably should've told Pete because basketball practice was also canceled; what about Harry? Where is he?" Said Pharaoh with a nod, prompting Gwen to pinch him, though she got no reaction out of him, cursing her to slick her tongue in annoyance.
"Harry? I don't know where he is; I only saw Pete. Anyways, will you go and help, Pete?" Said Mj with a shake of her head before glancing up at Tut, who handed his backpack to her.
"Yeah, I will in a second; though I'm giving Pete a chance to fight, I'll only jump in when someone tries to jump him, which should be happening soon, seeing how much trouble Pete is giving Flash." Stated Pharaoh with a smirk as he stood behind the group, watching Pete and Flash box it out.
"Ay, drop his bitch ass, Pete!" Yelled Tut loudly, prompting several people to glance at Pharaoh, including Flash, which Pete used to land a clean punch to the jaw.
"Just cause it's Halloween, don't get spooked now that I'm here." Added Tut as he eyed Flash's goons, who all looked at each other before suddenly running at him.
"I think we should back away, Gwen." Said Mj as she glanced to her right, though all she saw was empty since Gwen was already retreating.
Seeing them charge all charge at me simultaneously, I smirked and got into my boxing stance just in time to evade a punch to my face before quickly jabbing the attacker's face in return, breaking his nose. The second person, seeing that, slightly hesitated, which I took advantage of, giving him a two-piece to the gut before fishing with an uppercut; by the time he hit the ground, he was knocked out. Taking a step back, dodging a failed sneak attack from the side, I grabbed him by his arm and leg before lifting him into the air and tossing him at two of his buddies, while the last dude just glanced around at his defeated friends before he too laid on the ground.
"Alright, so who the fuck next!?" Yelled Tut, tapping into his ignorance as he aggressively looked around, though everyone had already been defeated.
"Tch, dammit!" Muttered Flash angrily as he blocked a punch from Peter while looking at his defeated goons before eyeing Tut.
"Ay, better fucking pay attention; otherwise, my dawg Pete is about to drop your bitch ass Flash!" Said Tut with a grin as he mocked Flash, only to suddenly frown as he turned around and looked down the hallway.
"Shit! Yo, Gwen, MJ, Pete, let's get out of here; teachers are coming!" Yelled Tut with a frown as he ran forward, scooping Peter into his arms while heading toward the back exit with Gwen and a hesitant Mj following after them.
"Hey! Get back here!" Yelled Flash as he ran after them, and just when he was about to grab Mj, Tut speedily arrived in front of him and tripped him before returning to his spot as if he had never left.
