Working with an enemy

When walking to school, there was a hop to Gary’s step. It was a strange feeling, and he didn’t even understand it himself right now. Rather than being scared or worried that he would most likely face Billy today, the high schooler felt excited.

‘Is this really me?’ Gary thought as he looked at his fist, still not used to its increased size. ‘I’ve always enjoyed watching Altered fights… but I never fought one before. Well, even if the old me had had the chance to, I would have been done in before I could even blink. Now, though, I feel confident in defeating Billy!’
