It’s been 2 days since Nao left school but he left a noticeable impact. Trevor, has been training for the rematch, bullies are a bit scared to approach us, and most importantly… 428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTsg0BQun8

Mat: “And when Nao comes back, he’ll take the position of King. After what you told us he was fighting evenly with him. I’m sure after a month of training, he’ll be way stronger.”

They’re right, we don’t have Arc or a game system. Anything we try won’t change us as much.

Mat steps in front of us and puffs up his chest. What the hell is he doing. This won’t make up for what he did. Talking to Trevor is terrifying but not that bad.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO6y7RHMz4

Creepy.

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPELquYrOr

Instantly, we begin to shiver uncontrollably. I can see it in his eyes, we’re nothing but cattle and prey to him. He towers over our lives and casts a shadow over any possibility of escaping.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdaUkJUry5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8dqYKfxpS
But what makes me shiver isn’t fear. No, it’s hatred for those around us. I quickly look around to see people running away, giggling, or watching us with some sick anticipation. Is this…entertainment to you fucking creatures!

I open the door to see an even taller and muscular Nao training his body. It’s got to the point where he’s starting to tower over us too. 2 inches from being just like the bullies…

The rest of them laugh and talk all the way to the front door. I can’t help but follow the crowd and laugh along. I didn’t have to do that in a long time…

Nao: “Hey guys?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJvAtKBMw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA13P2FA2ZJ
We look back at Nao standing at the threshold of the door. He looks down seemingly worried about us leaving maybe.

Nao: “After I deal with Trevor there’s something I should tell you. It might shock you but I want to make sure we’ll still be friends afterward.”

We say our goodbyes and head to our separate homes. Of course, I am the first to leave the group. I live far away from my friends, in a place of Hillview I would never take my friends to.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfBCwLyzsX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrYGbnx0WO
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.

So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.

Nothing will change if we don’t beat those monsters into the ground! Maybe even killing one as an example. How else are we supposed to walk through school with our heads held up? It’s…not fair that Nao can do that…

But that’s how it usually is. I look to the reflective surface of the light pole and can’t help but feel sick.

Anthony: “Once again, I’m the dwarf of the group. With Nao gone and all grown up, I might become the official Napoleon tomorrow. Hahaha…”

I look away and stifle the fear threatening to escape up my throat. I refuse to be scared of those bastards. I’ll keep my dignity at least.

I put it out of my head and suck up the tears. I run home and hope I’m not too late to receive even a bit of comfort.

I fix myself some food and take the poorly made mess back to my room. I force myself to eat my dinner as time marches ahead without me.

Eventually, the time comes for the meteor shower. I go to my window and watch them shoot across my vision. I quickly take a poor photo on my broken phone.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpayr3fJUN

I look down at the cracked version of the shower in the sky.

I collapse on my mat on the floor and stare at the dirty ceiling. Then a strange memory pops into my head. The first time I saw a meteor show with my parents…and the last time I didn’t want to wish for anything.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KbnCRlQ7I
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3isuC474u
I get off my mat and go back to the window to see the falling stars. I cup my hands, close my eyes, and wish on one of the stars flying across the sky.

I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.

I reach out to the sky swirling with white fire. After 5 breaths I close my hand wishing to crush those flames that scar my skin every day. When I pull my hand back though…

Within my hands, a light shines through the cracks of my fingers. I open it to find something I always wished for.
