Chapter 18- Same Face, Same Cruelty:

Later, I And The Group Had Successfully Arrived At School And On Time Too Surprisingly. I Swiftly Walked Down The Busy Hallway, Weaving Past A Crowd Of Students Rushing Between Classes. The Hallway Was Loud With The Sounds Of Hundreds Of Voices, All Talking And Laughing At Once. The Air Was Full Of The Scent Of Cologne And Perfume, Mixed With A Hint Of Sweat And The Smell Of Books. 

Some Kids Carried Backpacks On Their Backs, Others Carried Books Or Notebooks In Their Hands. It Was A Hectic, Buzzing Atmosphere, As The Students Rushed Past Each Other To Get To Their Classrooms. Kana Was Skipping Happily Excited To Get To Class As I Shook My Head Still Not Grasping What This Girl Saw In School. 

"So You're Telling Me You Two Are A Thing Now?" Charlie Asked In Confusion As I Explained To Him Prior Before Arriving At The School Gates That I Had Actually Become Kana's Boyfriend. Quite Honestly I Wasn't Surprised That He Was Shocked.

 

"Yes For The Fourth Time I Am Together With Her" I Sighed Rubbing My Head In Annoyance. "Hmm Well I Never Knew You Were A Devil Girl Fan" He Chuckled Lightly Nudging Me With A Teasing Grin. "Actually I'm Not Into Devil Girls I'm More Of An Elf Guy But She Seems Really In Love With Me So I'll Stay With Her" I Nodded Firmly.

"I Gotta Agree Elves Are Pretty Cool... I Mean Most Of Them Are Immortal And Flat Chested Plus They Usually Pack Amazing... Butts" He Exclaimed With A Mischievous Grin As I Slapped Him Around The Head Playfully Chuckling Away. 

"Yeah Keep Your Inner Thoughts To Yourself, Charlie... But I Don't Disagree Haha" I Nodded Firmly Before Fist Bumping Him. 

"You Gotta Cherish The Things You Have Now Man, I Mean You Went From An Ergophobia Infested Lone Wolf To A Devil Woman's Boyfriend" He Nodded Speaking In An Understanding Tone As He Finished Off His Sentence With A Sigh.

"Don't Worry Buddy I'm Sure You'll Get You're Chance And Besides You're Good Looking In My Eyes Women Just Have Flawed Tastes" I Shrugged. Kana Then Charged Into Me Hugging Me Aggressively With A Smile.

"Mati-kun! Guess What! I Have Math Class With You First!" She Cheered Happily Like A Kid Unwrapping A Sweet. "Oh That's Great Actually" I Nodded In A Somewhat Happy Smile As I Did Like Maths But Mainly Because Kana Was There. 

"Well Let's Get Going" I Exclaimed Joyfully As I Grabbed Her Hand Tightly. However, I Stopped In My Tracks As I Saw Something Familiar In The Distance...

There Were Two Big Lads And One Short Lad Standing In Front Of A Long Blonde Haired Small Girl With Aqua Blue Eyes. It Then Hit Me As I Realized It Was Alice...

"God Dammit... Nick That Son Of A Bitch" I Tensed Up My Fist As I Looked Into The Distance Recognizing Who The Tormentor Was. The Class Dick Himself Nick, I Hated Him To The Core And Always Wanted To Knock Sense Into His Dense Skull.

Charlie Grabbed My Shoulder Shaking His Head "Dude It's Not Worth It, Nick Will Always Be A Dick" He Spoke In A Serious Tone As I Pushed His Hand Off. I Wasn't Going To Let Some Short Piece Of Crap Torment Alice.

Besides I Made A Promise With Her, A Promise To Always Be There For Her And Trust Her. So I Took A Short Stride Towards The Three Boys, "Ah Would You Look At This.... Matthew, It's Been A Long Time" He Spoke In A Condescending Tone that could Even Annoy The Most Calmest Person Ever. 

"Been A Long Time Since You've Had The Guts To Show Your Face To Me, Didn't You Get The Memo You're A Reject And Nobody Loves You" He Smirked Speaking With An Arrogant Tone. As Alice Looked At Me With Teary Eyes As I Saw The Word "Freak" Written On Her Big Forehead.

"Did You Do That?" I Spoke In The Most Coldest Tone As My Fists Shook With Pure Anger As They Turned Red From All The Blood Coursing Through Them. Nick Then Smirked Jolting Backwards In Laughter As He Shrugged.

"So What? What Are You Going To Do About It? Are You Suddenly A Hero Or Something?" He Spoke In A Snarky Tone Thinking That He Was Free To Toy With Anyone's Life As He Pleased. "I'm Guessing This Alice Girl Is Your Girlfriend That's Why You're So Hellbent On Protecting Her... Age Gap Is A Lil Big Though, I Didn't Know You Were A Lolicon" He Finished Off His Sentence With A Roll Of His Eyes.

Then In One Fell Swoop, I Charged At Him And Ploughed My Fist Into His Chest As He Went Flying Down The Blue Carpet Floors. I Then Looked At My Fist In Confusion I Was Shocked That I Was Able To Deliver A Punch Powerful Like That.

I Theorised That Maybe With Kana's Saliva From That Kiss I Had With Her Might Have Given Me More Strength. This Made My Outlook On The Relationship A Whole Lot Better As I Knew Now That I Could Become Strong Just By Kissing Her.

Nick Soon Got Up Holding His Stomach In Pain As He Spoke Stuttering "You're Crazy You Sick Bastard" He Coughed Before Running Away With His Lackies.

"Well, All Well That Ends Well" I Nodded Feeling Proud That I Stood Up To That Monster Of A Person However I Suddenly Felt A Light Tap On My Shoulder As I Heard A Voice Behind Me...

"Matthew.... I Think You Need To Come With Me" Now I Realized That Person Was None Other Than Mr Kan.
