Chereads / Mario and his Mind / Chapter 2 - chapter 1

Chapter 2 - chapter 1

In a place unknown, where danger larks And power and strength is all that rules, In a world where weakness is a crime, a part of this world laid a place sorrowing for the teaching of young people. 

The students were chattering and eating in the canteen, Others playing  and running around in the field.

While this part of the school was buzzing with energy, at the back of the school four students could be seen kicking and beating another student who laid on school ground receiving kick and punches. 

A young man lying on the ground looked around 17, was being beaten rashly by a couple of other young students , the young men looked timid, and weak, he didn't look like normal teenager, he was skinny and had dark circles under his eyes,  and his nails outgrown him.

They cursed as they belittle him, one student, who looked like the leader cursed.

" why a weakling like yourself is attending our school".

" our school isn't for losers and lowlife like yourself, our school, accept those with Strength and power".

"I guess you have your daddy's money to get you into our school, a bitch like yourself can't accomplish anything without your dad's help.because I know for a fact a weakling like yourself  couldn't have passed the school, practical exam".

" Marcus, don't waste your energy on a nobody" one of the minions interrupted Marcus cursing.

They hovered around, surrounding him in a circle, they kicked him his head, legs and abdomen.  He screamed in agony  when one of students kicked right in him stomach, another one got a wooden stick and started beating him while he was lying down. He bled from his head, bruises all over his body, but he laid and crunched his head on with his hands and took the beating with silents, he did not plead for it stop. He just took the beaten. As if it was part of his normal day to day life. 

The leader Marcus had enough beaten him, so he spat on the ground,while walking  away, saying " let's go and eat. I'm starting to feel hungry. I don't want to waste my lunch break on a wimp like him".

His minions replied " yeah!, let's go, I'm hungry too."

They started to walk away, as their voices of jokes,laughter and mockery, shimmered in the air.

After the act of merciless beating has passed, there laid on the ground, the victim, who stood with his head down, shoulders hunched. His eyes averted of any emotions he stood still for a minute absent silence then he started to walk out of the school, he walked to his bike and rode it all the way home in silence.

The young man stood in front three story house, he looked towards the house. He started walking towards it inside the house. 

He made his way upstairs into his room without a word to his parents. Who were sitting in the living room watching the TV together.  He trying making his way towards his room when a women around her 40s who looked to be his mother, 

Asked, " Mario is that you son, you should say ,"I'm home". "Teenagers what should I do with you Mario, ah are you going to bed, Dear you should come and eat. Dinner is ready, "no it's all right mum I'm not hungry now but I will come down later". "Thanks mum". Replied Mario with a very quiet voice. "Oh okay dear just come down for dinner later then". 

Other the side of the house the young men whom his mother was talking to was now busy write something in a diary book, and he kept repeating the same words to himself. 

"why me!,WHY ME??!!, whyyy". in a whisper of agony and despair. With the face of hatred and anger.

"I had enough of this school, I'm no longer going to that hell hole".

After the young men let out his silent cries, he began to started playing his online game,and from then on he began to slowly shut himself of from the real world, 

But sadly for him the decision of isolation did not go well for him, the bullies find out he hasn't being coming to school and get annoyed with him and decides to visit him at his house acting as if they were friends.  

They come to him home saying to his mother and father that they are friends and they miss him because he hasn't shown up to school and were here to play with him, Mario's mother was surprised and over enjoyed to know that her son who is introvert has friends, she welcome them into the house not knowing they had other intentions, 

so when the young men learns of the new that "his friends" are here to visit him, He goes into despair, and the bullies invite themselves into his room and this is where hell comes to his life. They invade his private space, humiliate him over and over again.
