After the morning class ended, as usual Amelia and I ate behind the school. It was odd because Noah still havent joined us, he always joins us when eating lunch.
"Its been twenty minutes and Noah still not here"
Amelia softly said....
"Probably busy with something"
After we finished eating lunch, we were having a conversation about almost anything. Amelia and I, both cant stay in one topic, it will either go into a another topic or we sit in silence, unable to strike a conversation.
"Oh, about last week"
Amelia suddenly mentioned, anticipating on what she will add next. She asked afterwards.....
"Why did that guy suddenly punch you?"
I immediately caught on what she referenced, i scratched my head as i do not know myself. I replied to her with....
"I do not know, i do not even know who he was and why he suddenly punched me"
She was as surprised as i was, she then asked....
"Is he maybe someone that hates you or someone that you provoked?"
I shook my head at her question....
"I dont recall provoking anyone, nor did something to someone that will lead to hate me"
"Are you sure?"
I nodded at her, i later added....
"Besides, i dont even socialize with other people. Other than you and Noah, either way i know that that guy will not do that again"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because i am, i do not doubt the words that i have declared"
"Aren't you a little confident....well, i just hope nothing bad will happen to you"
I looked at her and asked.....
"Why would you be concern about my safety?"
She looked confused after i said that....
"What do you mean? Is it wrong for me to be concern about your well being?"
I sighed and scratched my head.....
"What i meant was....you should think about your safety first, instead of mine. After all, you are a girl. I am not saying that you cant defend yourself, but if you were up against a guy that has intentions of hurting you, then you will be easily overpowered"
She smiled when i said that to her, like she was happy that i was concerned about her safety. She later stood up and sat close to me, resting her head on my shoulder.
"Yeah i know, its just that, you are the first guy that i considered special to me"
I was confused, possibly speechless when she casually said that to me.....
"What? Special? I dont think i've done something for you to label me as someone special to you"
".....yeah, i know....."
She did not add after that, she was peacefully leaning on my shoulder. I did not want her to hurt her head, so i decided to wrap my arm around her. So that she can be more comfortable, she did not mind when i did that.
"Dude..."
We both heard the voice of someone familiar, we looked at the direction where the voice came....it was Noah, holding his lunch while looking at both of us....
"....so its official now?"
We quickly sat straight, because we were embarassed when Noah assumed, that we were officially a couple...
"What's up dude?"
'Tss'
"Don't just pretend that i did not catch you two being lovey-dovey with each other, rest assured i will delve in any further. I will just eat my lunch, while you two can continue on doing what you were doing"
He did just that, he minded his own business and did not even glance at our direction. Amelia and I looked at each other's eyes, we both smiled because of the misunderstanding. Noah suddenly added.....
"Don't be kissing now, our creator is watching from above"
"Yeah, yeah. We get it, matter of fact why did you just arrived just now?"
"Ms. Laurence, my adviser. Asked me to deliver some documents to the office, that was why i was late coming here"
I acknowledge his reasoning. He continued eating his lunch, and did not utter a single word while eating. I could sense that he was trying to tease us, and Amelia also sensed that.
"We are just friends Noah, not a couple"
He looked at us with skepticism, he lowered both of his arms. Then later said.....
"You do know how stupid you are if you want to convince me that you two are just friends, you two are even close at each other as we speak"
When he stated, Amelia and I looked at each other and it was true. We were close at each other, and we both laughed at each other.....
"Okay, okay. We get what you mean, but we not a couple though, just friends"
"Yeah, whatever you say. You two probably kissed by now, i can just tell"
"No"
Amelia and I both said that at the same time, further reinforcing Noah's speculation about us kissing. Realizing that, we both made a mistake with that one....
"Hmmm, hmmm. So i am right? You both are terrible at keeping secrets"
Yeah, we know. Feeling defeated, we did not try to defend ourselves after that. Since, it will just make Noah's comment even more true....
After class ended, as usual Amelia and I walked home together. Since, i stored my bike inside the inventory. Amelia asked why i did not bring my bike, i obviously lied to her by telling that my bike was flat, and i could not use it.
After i walked her home, i was about to head home. I sensed someone stalking me, since the exclamation also popped up. I was bored, and wanted to see what was up....
So instead of directly heading home, i decided to walk and they were clearly following me. I did not want to be seen in publicnbeating up a person, walking into a empty alleyway, leading them into an isolated space.
Suddenly, i was surrounded by multiple people. All of them was wearing masks, all of them were holding either a bat or a knife. Knowing that i got myself into trouble, i quickly stretched out my body and took off my uniform.
As i was preparing for them to attack me, a person that had a familiar face suddenly showed up in front of me. It was the same person who suddenly punched, i looked at his stats.....
JAMES
LEVEL 4
BRAT
I slightly smiled, since his title was 'brat'. I did not know that there is a title like that, but it made sense for him to have a title like that...
"You are scared now, huh?"
He was expecting me to respond to him, instead i stayed quiet and observed all of the people that were surrounding me.....
All of them had a average level of 4, while the biggest is 7. It was pathetic actually, i kinda feel bad for all of them. Regular people, trying to be wannabe thugs....
"Hey!!!!! Pay attention to m-"
Before James could complete his sentence, i quickly lunged towards him. Repaying on what he did to me last time, he could not react instead he fainted by the impact of my punch. As he was about fall on the ground, i caught him and gently lowered him to the ground.
Since, he is still a ordinary student. I did not want him to suffer a serious injury, after all i did repay him....
I watched all of them hesitant to come forward and attack me, one person holding a knife had the courage to step forward. I was observing the way he held the knife, i immedaitely knew that he does not know how to use a knife.
It was almost 6 pm, and i did not want to leave my sister alone inside the house. I calmly approached Oliver, when i got closer he attempted to attack me with the knife. It was slow, and lack technique. Before he could connect his attack, i grabbed his wrist and threw a punch on his side, specifically on his liver.
He grunted and crumbled, releasing his grip on the knife he was holding. When the knife dropped on the ground, i was trying to grab it. Suddenly, someone tried to hit me with a metal pipe. I dodged, and was accessing the environment.
Because even if i am a higher level than them, i still can get injured if i get hit on the head. When Laim tried to attack me again, i dodged and punched him on the throath. He choked and immediately dropped the metal pipe he was holding.
Grabbing the metal pipe, and the knife. I now have two different weapons for me to use, i was ready for them to attack me again. Instead of attacking one by one, they decided to come and attack me at the same time.
I quickly evaded all of their attacks, and wanted to devide them, since it will be difficult to attack one of them, when another person can attack from my blindspot.
I backed up on a wall, so i can attack them without the risk of being hit from my blinspot. I put on a psychotic smile, since i have been wishing for something like this to happen to me, for a long time.
