Knight In Short Skirt

LOVE WITHOUT LEG

At the peak of his fear, Joshua managed to get his father's permission to drop out of the elite's school he was studying in and apply for a normal private school. The hierarchy in his older school was too much to bear. The family with the highest funding in the institution got to make rules. The only reason why his family had him attend that school was for him to mingle with the high casts, but as their family was not financially prominent among the funders, Joshua faced a lot of torture (too much for a rich kid to be considered).

Being, not the most sociable person, eventually he became the target of the bullies in the new school as well. Back then he was bullied for being poor among the rich and now for being the rich among the poor. The school didn't have hierarchy but as understandable as it is, BULLIES are the epidemic faced in every school. Joshua thought being polite would help him remain in safe zone, but it didn't help because being polite also means EASYGOING.

One not so fine day, Joshua was getting smacked on the head for sixteen millionth time by the corridor during the lunch break. He was getting used to it. At least those kids didn't throw him to the floor and kick him unconscious. Only two weeks had passed since he entered the school but the bullies had found out about Joshua coming from a well off family hence they started to take his pocket money from him. Being smacked from behind out of the blue, he stumbled and tripped to the muddy ground. The bullies looked down at him lying on the ground from the corridors and laughed with their shaking bellies. They jumped down towards him and started laughing at him for being clumsy and thin. He was overwhelmed by their shadows hovering over him. Fear struck him.

(SPLAAASH)

An open bottle of Mango juice fell from heavens and as Joshua watched the bright liquid splash all over the guys who were bullying him and the plastic bottle hit their leader square on the head. From behind their not anymore scary figures he saw an angel like girl without wings from the second floor looking deeply down at them. She looked like a savage angel in her untucked uniform and short skirt. She was leaning on to railing with a nonchalant face, but then a hoarse puberty hit voice came from beside her.

"Oops. My hands slipped!!" that was the wheelchair guy from his same class who only talked to that angel and always glared at other people. He was glaring from above, just equally intimidating as the angel.

The leader of the bullies was burning in anger and he looked up, open his vicious mouth and dug his own grave by saying

"I thought that you only lacked legs, seems like you have a clumsy hands too. Do you not want your hands intact either?" that was a threat. As if he got rid of his legs because they were clumsy. Let's change the description for the Angel now. She looked like a laser eyed panther; ready to tear apart his head. Joshua was fascinated even at her menacing appearance. Suhail only flinched a little at his statement and continued to stare at him.

She put one foot out of the railing, about to jump and pounce at them from second floor but was quickly held back by the wheelchair guy, who was worried for her. That was when her plastered leg came to Joshua's view. She was like a ferocious beast who felt more hurt than the guy who was supposed to be.

"Don't worry Anna. He is also in that list. We still have time." The beast was quickly tamed by him. She looked back at him, amused and turned to face the bullies down. Invisible shiver went down the second floor as she smirked along with a signature flip of her bangs falling over her witty expression.

For a quick change of description, she looked like a cunning cat, licking her sharp claws to strike at the rats.

The bullies' leader had a broken nose and shaved eye brows after two days. He left school after one more month. The history of making fun of that wheelchair guy was never repeated and Joshua also had a nice school year.

Only one thing bothered him. He felt like he had a huge gong placed inside his stomach which gave an echoing bang whenever he saw that angel with the wheelchair guy. But he never spoke of it or show his discomfort. Just like that, a peaceful school life went by with him being a bystander of Anna's first love.
