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… 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4yEJa6D4

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

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.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FzWrCip0j
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgue22YRGHJ
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…

Tallow: “That would actually be terrifying.”

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?”
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYNXIOgph
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMXMLUgwiQ
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.”

Shouldn’t it depend on what the secret is…

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.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6jwzIxNzX
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2MQtwhMNx
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPwncK2ZeS
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYqohweUQJ
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVYLTmqhUO
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWviP1o3uXn
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.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bt8taSl36
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdf45MW0Z1
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.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29eMQ6DBqf
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUayMaCHcq
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.

Anthony: “…I wish for vengeance and…the power to take it. Power that…Nao doesn’t deserve anymore. I don’t want to be like this anymore.”480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc54V1VB2GZ
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4go4abeM1l
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFISz8JXBl
I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.

Anthony: “As per usual, I’m ignored. After all, I’m not one of you.”
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57P9rbZMLZ
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U7E1b0145
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…
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoTae97M3j

Anthony: “W-What?”
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPUXkkV0b

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