Chapter 2

 Sitting on the Rooftop of Hallow High, Aden was enjoying the cool breeze against his soft face, along with the brief silence that was soon interrupted. "Well Well Well, if it isn't the frail Aden~", a voice behind me approached, and two others. "Yeah, shouldn't he be dying in a hospital instead of here.", followed by a chuckle as I became filled with annoyance. "Guys can we not do this today..? We have 7th period soon..", this particular voice caught my attention and I decided to glance at them. Of course, it was Matt, Liam, and his younger brother Jake. Matt stood in front with his spiked brown hair, green eyes, and firm stature, the cigarette ash still fresh in between his fingers, the scar on his eye becoming more and more visible. Liam, smaller than Matt but just as annoying, if not, more. He is just a lackey for Matt. Liam has always been a bit rebellious, dying his hair blue, ripped jeans, the whole thing. Jake, on the other hand, his dark complexion, soft tired blue eyes, and shy nature, which doesn't resemble his hard-headed brother in the slightest. 

 "If it isn't Miss Ego pants herself~", I said with a strong grin, knowing I won't escape unscathed. "Oh look at the balls of this dump, Im sorry, does your head hurt?~", Liam spoke with a mocking tone. "Oh, are you talking to me, lackey? I thought your mother told you to not speak until you were spoken to.", when I said that, I knew I was getting hit, but it didn't matter to me. Liam's eyes filled with rage and quickly threw a right hook, knocking me to the ground. I slowly got up and spat the blood in my mouth, before I could get up, Matt walked up and launched his leg at my side, knocking me down once more. "Got anything left to say Bitch?", Matt said while looking down at Aden. "Yea.. I do.. Did the bottle hurt worse than your dad's fist..?", I smirked, knowing I hit him hard, I looked at the flabbergasted Matt, and before I could react, I got kicked once again, flipping me completely 180. "The fuck you say to me…? Who do you think you are?!", Matt proceeded to kick me repeatedly throughout his whole body, his anger scaring both Jake and Liam. "You are nothing! Nothing but fucking roadkill on the street!", Matts's rage continued to grow as I lay helplessly on the ground, knowing I won the fight without having to lift a finger. "Got anything left to say you fucking scumbag..?!", Matt held me by my hair. I looked up at Matt and could only see the pain building up in his eyes, I had nothing else to crush his fragile ego, so I remained silent. Matt, being disappointed with my silence, dropped me and started walking away. Liam hesitantly followed Matt but Jake looked at Matt and then back at me slowly picking myself up after almost meeting death a little too early. Jake quickly ran over while he had the chance. "Here.. take this..", Liam quickly handed me a white cloth. I slowly grabbed the cloth while staring at Jake, I could tell Jake was being sincere. I thanked Jake as I wiped the blood off his mouth, Jake nodded and quickly ran off before his brother noticed he was gone. I slowly got off the ground and shoved the cloth in his pocket as he headed to the nurse's office, reflecting on Jake's kindness, and questioning his intent.
