"I already shower 2 day ago."
Matthew mom was making breakfast while his dad sat on the couch sipping tea. Matthew rushed out of his room. He grabbed a piece of meat on the table and left the house. He looked up at the sky while walking. Matthew noticed how bright the sky was and Hated it.He cursed at the sky loudly.
"Fuck you."
Matthew continued walking,happily eating. when suddenly a hand touched his shoulder. Matthew looked behind him. There stood a tall boy with dark skin and black hair. Matthew paused and smiled.
"Oh, it's you Scott."
Scott with a worried face spoke.
"Yo Matthew, I saw the post you made about Jenna. You're going to get jumped at school if her fanboy sees you"
Matthew looked at Scott In the eye.
"Oh please, you think those pigs who simp for her can do anything?"

Matthew with a nervous look on his face.
"No shit."
"Let's split,their eyes are making me uncomfortable." Besides, I am not even in your class anyways. Matthew added.
Scott nodded,And both of them split in different directions. Matthew kept walking until he reached his classroom. Exhausted, he took a deep breath and opened the door. Inside, his classmate seemed to be gather around A girl with sliver hair and pale skin.They paused as soon as they saw him. The room turned dead silent. A moment later, whispers filled the room. Their eyes stared at him intensely as if he had done something to offend them. Matthew smiled and walked towards his seat. He paid no mind to the wailing of others as he sat down in his chair.Suddenly, a boy with red hair and pale skin approaches him. Matthew sighs and closes his eyes as if he is preparing for something. The boy kicks his table, and it falls to the floor. *Bang* Matthew opens his eyes. He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms with a smile.
"Don't you get tired of this, Arkell? You do this every day."
Algo Arinze is a private high school for wealthy kids and geniuses. Its wall stretches hundreds of meters long with only one entrance. It is located in the middle of the city, so the road is often full of traffic. You can find a lot of kids from powerful families driving their luxury cars with butlers tending to their needs. The school is filled with entitled brats who have never had their asses handed to them by their parents. Kids who are less powerful than them often face harassment.Arkell happen to be the son of a powerful figure.
"You bastard! To think you have the guts to come to school after trashing Jenna!"
Matthew shrugged.
"Why do you care what I have to say about her?"
"She isn't going to bend down on her knee and suck it" Matthew added.
The whispering grew louder.Arkell enraged
Threw a chair at Matthew. Unfazed Matthew stood up and blocked the chair with his leg. The students went wild And tension filled the room.
Woah! ,Arkell just throw a chair at him! "
"He isn't playing around anymore! "
"Isn't that kinda overboard, what if he got hurt? "
"Well he is on The Hit List so it doesn't matter."
As the tension grew, a voice yelled out.
"Arkell stop!"
Arkell paused and look behind him. The girl that was surrounded earlier walked out from the crowd. She stood between him and Matthew.
"Stop! We're In school what do you think you're doing!?"
Arkell froze for a moment and answered nervously.
"He was bad mouthing you jenna. I wanted to teach him a lesson."
Jenna sighed as she closes her eye.
"So you threw a chair at him because of that? Go back to your seat class is starting!"
Arkell bewildered ,Walks angrily back to his seat.
"Fine! "
"It's not over yet Matthew, I'll see you after class ,you bastard!" Arkell added.
Matthew scoffed,He picked up his table and put it back into place. Jenna trying to ease the tension.
"It is alright everyone, it's just a fight between friends."
Jenna laughed awkwardly as she tries to explain the situation.At that moment , The teacher entered the class.Disappointment filled the class. The students have been hoping to see Matthew beaten to a pulp, but the teacher's arrival forced everyone back to their seats. Jenna walked past Matthew and glanced at him with an intense stare. Matthew noticed and smiled at her.

*school bell rings*
Class had just ended and everyone was sour from the long hours. Tired, Matthew quickly packed his bag and was ready to go home. As he left the school ,a group of goonstopped him. Matthew confused tried to walk pass them but they block him from leaving.Suddenly Arkell came from behind.
"Where do you think you're going at this hour? "
Matthew stared at him with a blank face.
"I don't know ,Home? "
Annoyed by his attitude Arkell grabs Matthew by his collar.
"You think you can get away from me? "
Arkell made a fist ready to punch Matthew. Matthew Unfazed ,He look at Arkell and said.
"Give me your worst."
As soon as those words left his mouth, Arkell punched him in the face with all his strength. The students nearby stood in horror as Arkell repeatedly struck Matthew. Even if they wanted to help, nobody dared to stand against the son of a powerful politician. Matthew's face was covered in blood, but he endured the beating. After all, what could a young boy do against a group of goons taller than him? Finally Arkell ran out of breath and let go of Matthew. Matthew dropped to the ground. He tried to stand up but was too weak to do so. Arkell smirked while looking down at him.
"You piece of shit, I'll spared you for now. "
" And if I catch you badmouthing my girl again, it's not going to end with just a bloody face." Arkell added.
Arkell walked away with his gang, leaving Matthew on the ground. Matthew laid there for a few minutes, trying to recover his strength. In the midst of all the chaos, Scott came out from behind a tree. He looked around to see if Arkell and his goon had left, then rushed to Matthew.
"Ayy bro, you good? I told you they were going to jump you!"
Matthew irritated.
"I got it — just help me up, damn it!"
"Oh right."
Scott carried Matthew on his back and they left the school. A few minute later They arrived at Scott's house and Scott carried him to his bedroom.
"Where are your parents?" Matthew asked, breathing heavily.
Scott grabbed a medkit and started treating Matthew's wounds.
"They're at work, so we're good for now."
Despite Matthew attitude. He still have good friend like Scott that look Out for each other. But for some reason Scott parents doesn't like Matthew.
Matthew took a deep breath while Scott finished treating his wounds. Matthew tried to get up but the pain was still too much.he laid back on the bed.Scott shook his head and asked.
"Bro — why didn't you fight back?"
Matthew sighed.
"Fight back? Are you crazy? They were in a group and all of them are taller than me. Besides, laying a hand on Arkell would definitely lead to unwanted problem. "
Scott leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Yet you still provoked him?"
"Everyone knows that crazy bastard is obsessed with Jenna. He would threaten anyone that get close to her!. "Scott added.
Matthew with a serious face.
"Arkell is a bitch who can't defend himself without his goons."
"And why does he even care about what I say about Jenna he is not even her boyfriend. "
Scott closed his eyes in disbelief.
"Arkell thinks he's her knight in shining armor. He just a delusional kid that Jenna find annoying."
Scott handed Matthew a sandwich. Hungry and exhausted, Matthew ate the sandwich in two bites.
"Delicious!"
"I am off to work. Wash yourself you smell like shit. " said Scott.
Matthew rolled his eyes.
"Fine."
A few hours later Matthew had recovered. He went to the bathroom to shower. He took his clothes off. He had a strong, muscular body covered in scars from head to toe. He looked at himself in the mirror , his face red and covered by bandages. He quickly hopped into the shower — the cold water made his balls shiver. After he finished, he dressed up, Grabbed his bag and headed home.
Matthew walked alone that night. The air was cold and the street buzzed with lights. He looked up at the sky; it was dark and the moon was hidden by clouds. He let out a breath and continued walking. At home, his mom noticed the bandages on his face.
"Matthew!What happen to you?!"
Matthew, not wanting to worry his mom,lied.
"I went skiing with Scott today. He was teaching me a trick and I fell on my face."
His mom looked worried.
"I see. I thought you were getting bullied again."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm not the weak kid you used to know anymore," Matthew said with a cheerful smile.
"Alright,have you eaten yet?" she asked.
"Yeah, I already ate. I'm tired — I'm going to bed," Matthew replied.
" Well okay,Don't get yourself to anymore trouble we're all worried about you know."
Matthew went to his room and hopped on his bed. Though he may seem Unbothered by the beating from Arkell, Matthew was a boiling inside. He wasn't going to let this go easily. In his mind he was consumed with rage. His body ached as laid down on his bed. He reaches below his pillow.
"Arkell you fucking bastard — I'm going to rip you apart, you fucking bootlicker. Just you wait!"
Matthew pulled a brass knuckle — made from rubber and metal from under the pillow.his face darken his eye turn red. Vein popping from his face.
"Tomorrow I'm going to Sent that bitch to the hospital."
