It’s been 2 days since Nao left school but he left a noticeable impact. Trevor, has been training for the rematch, bullies are a bit scared to approach us, and most importantly… 613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2vDU3h7Bz
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOpK5Hn6l
Mat: “Man, Alyson has been out of it these days. Her test scores have taken a nose dive.”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPo2si82DG

613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpIWpQAn8L
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEiIMJoJHA
Mat: “And when Nao comes back, he’ll take the position of King. After what you told us he was fighting evenly with him. I’m sure after a month of training, he’ll be way stronger.”

Anthony: “…We’ll see.”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6QE2hUyr

I still remember when we went to see Nao yesterday. The focus, the new power, and improved body…he’s even taller now…

Velo: “Besides, we won’t be as fast as Nao. Why even try?”
…613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6rcCpbXyC
They’re right, we don’t have Arc or a game system. Anything we try won’t change us as much.

I get our bags and leave the library while trying to stay hidden from bullies. They might be scared of Nao but they’re not scared of us. It only takes one person and-

613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Z8TNfb4E
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkocW28A0e
Everyone in the hallway stops and watches as Trevor walks up to us. Their intense gaze falls upon us like a wave and breaks our fragile cover.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R8100iQFW
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrU4b1Iuy7
Trevor: “So, have you guys seen Nao recently? I couldn’t get an answer out of Alyson so how about you?”

Mat steps in front of us and puffs up his chest. What the hell is he doing. This won’t make up for what he did. Talking to Trevor is terrifying but not that bad.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1kOXFAid
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TfEgbcYa7

Creepy.

613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcMCDbS027

We collectively sighed and inched past Trevor. Everyone’s gaze still followed our every move but I don’t care. We just dodged a bull-

Trevor: “And the other hand.”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9HH4GxOn
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkARYXG2AT
We instantly stopped and felt the air cool sharply. We look around to Trevor with his head turned toward us.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tuqDtDJ4A

Trevor: “If Nao was that strong, maybe one of you can give me a warm-up? Do one of you…want to fight?”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATG73FXQd7
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7MXIWl6ra
Instantly, we begin to shiver uncontrollably. I can see it in his eyes, we’re nothing but cattle and prey to him. He towers over our lives and casts a shadow over any possibility of escaping.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV3kmRSinu
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx566ZQJyuQ
But what makes me shiver isn’t fear. No, it’s hatred for those around us. I quickly look around to see people running away, giggling, or watching us with some sick anticipation. Is this…entertainment to you fucking creatures!
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIN2y44VUj

For a moment those parasites look elsewhere, to the queen. They start mumbling like flies around shit. And we’re just in the middle of this clown show, waiting to get out.

As if nothing happened, we return to the background where we belong. The show must go on. We were just a commercial in their “exciting” lives.

I open the door to see an even taller and muscular Nao training his body. It’s got to the point where he’s starting to tower over us too. 2 inches from being just like the bullies…

The rest of them laugh and talk all the way to the front door. I can’t help but follow the crowd and laugh along. I didn’t have to do that in a long time…

Nao: “Hey guys?”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLxNd6fBD8
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjv4Ewbvrl
We look back at Nao standing at the threshold of the door. He looks down seemingly worried about us leaving maybe.

Nao: “After I deal with Trevor there’s something I should tell you. It might shock you but I want to make sure we’ll still be friends afterward.”

We say our goodbyes and head to our separate homes. Of course, I am the first to leave the group. I live far away from my friends, in a place of Hillview I would never take my friends to.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uENhgFyVj
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6JX3nLEAS
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXnPM3qe9
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1zyuiwMqK
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47K2k4BmMC
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQu0zlBNE2
Nothing will change if we don’t beat those monsters into the ground! Maybe even killing one as an example. How else are we supposed to walk through school with our heads held up? It’s…not fair that Nao can do that…

But that’s how it usually is. I look to the reflective surface of the light pole and can’t help but feel sick.

Anthony: “Once again, I’m the dwarf of the group. With Nao gone and all grown up, I might become the official Napoleon tomorrow. Hahaha…”

I look away and stifle the fear threatening to escape up my throat. I refuse to be scared of those bastards. I’ll keep my dignity at least.

I put it out of my head and suck up the tears. I run home and hope I’m not too late to receive even a bit of comfort.

I fix myself some food and take the poorly made mess back to my room. I force myself to eat my dinner as time marches ahead without me.

Eventually, the time comes for the meteor shower. I go to my window and watch them shoot across my vision. I quickly take a poor photo on my broken phone.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr6qUwBw2L
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwazMwBFDzP
I look down at the cracked version of the shower in the sky.

I collapse on my mat on the floor and stare at the dirty ceiling. Then a strange memory pops into my head. The first time I saw a meteor show with my parents…and the last time I didn’t want to wish for anything.
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETergOw4Q
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l4iqG8Nhl
I get off my mat and go back to the window to see the falling stars. I cup my hands, close my eyes, and wish on one of the stars flying across the sky.

613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0kvHgTLu

I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.

I reach out to the sky swirling with white fire. After 5 breaths I close my hand wishing to crush those flames that scar my skin every day. When I pull my hand back though…

Anthony: “W-What?”
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZgMObtJyw

Within my hands, a light shines through the cracks of my fingers. I open it to find something I always wished for.
