"What are you looking at." Nathan asked as he looked at Kieran probing him

"Uh nothing ." Kieran replied as he continued to eat his meal.

"I noticed you are always staring blankly at some place off In the distance" Nathan added as he tried to gauge Kieran's reaction only to be met with an unexpected calm.

" Yeah I also noticed too if he's staring at you he normally seems distracted even at practice " Jack said filling his mouth with food.

"It's nothing just don't mind me." Kieran replied with a serious look

"Fine, then can we ask why you are always absent from the room in the morning " Nathan pressed on refusing to let it go

" I exercise, ahh I am not like you two who don't exercise." Kieran replied " Now could you drop the topic." They continued to eat while discussing various other topics.

" Huh it's you " a voice called out behind Kieran as he turned to look at the person before recognizing who it was. He was a boy with dark brown hair and dark eyes he had a curved jaw he had a tall figure, he was in a group of five guys. Seeing this frame and the group behind him Kieran immediately realized who it was.

" Haha Bob was it "Kieran asked as he faced him " The guy with the cute ability " he added causing Bob's face to twist in anger as he stared at the three of them his gaze moving from one person to another.

" It wasn't so cute when I flung you out of the cafeteria was it "Bob said with a sneer

" You know I have been meaning to pay you and your buddies back for that day " Kieran said as he got up from the bench staring Bob in the eye.

"Hmm all because you are with your little friends you now think you are a match for me right" Bob said with a confident smile.

"Ehh, I clearly remembering been a match for you even with your little group and that flimsy ability of yours." Kieran replied not backing down from this confrontation ever since that day in the cafeteria he had been searching for Bob hoping to pay him back for what he did that day and now that he had grown in strength he was itching for a fight Bob been there only aroused the feeling besides Bob was the one who sought him out now so he was clearly looking for trouble all this been known Kieran no longer held in his desire to fight.

Hearing what Kieran just said Bob's face twisted fiercely as he was getting ready to attack, but without giving him the time to act Kieran immediately sent a fist into Bob's face smashing into his curved jaw as to of his teeth flew out of his mouth leaving a bloody trail behind.

Retreating back a few steps Bob tasted a metallic iron in his mouth as his blood flowed in his mouth, that single punch from Kieran had caused his mouth to bleed and his teeth to break his jaw felt sour as he kept holding onto it afraid it may fall if he let go. Seeing Bob's bloody mouth the rest of his group snapped out of their shock as they rushed to his side trying to help him.

" My mouth, h how dare you flimsy lowlife attack me I will kill you " Bob rage hit the roof as he stabilized himself no longer holding his jaw " hold him down today I am going to really dismember you" Bob's anger rose as his group walked back towards Kieran.

" You are going to pay" a boy with spiky black hair said with a disgruntled expression as he attacked Kieran.

Jack and Nathan who were sitting opposite Kieran during their meal where both confused at what was going on Kieran had recognized the person stood up and punched his jaw causing him to bleed they had actually thought that Kieran had made other friends apart from them but seeing how Kieran had attacked him and listening to their conversation it didn't seem like they were friends at all now seeing five other guys who came with the bloody jaw guy were going to attack Kieran they both stood up and joined Kieran.

" You really know how to attract trouble don't you along with your annoying voice it no surprise of you become the world's most troublesome and annoying guy "Jack commented as he and Nathan joined him.

" You are the one with the annoying voice "Kieran replied clearly pissed off.

" Is that a way to talk to someone who wants to help you " Nathan asked

" That just went to prove my point exactly "Jack said with a smug grin

" Well I didn't ask for your help now did I " Kieran replied furiously his face twisted into a scowl
