chapter eleven.

It was surprising to say it only took three events for someone to hold such a grudge and hatred against Dream.

The first started with a classic Sapnap move to throw a start of summer party. It was diverse with people from different groups like jocks, anti-socials, alternative folk and more who all joined on one night to stand around the bonfire, drink, and have fun.

It was 2019 and Dream was ready to have fun and make mistakes, maybe not ones that would ruin his life but more to get his adrenaline going. Him and Sapnap we're off away from the burning fire, chatting it up about why George had decided against coming to the party. It was expected as he was never really the type but it would have been so much more fun. 

"I'm sure we can get him to come to the next one, yeah?" Sapnap asked as he mindlessley scrolled through instagram, liking the photos of every pretty pinterest girls on the beach or having a night out with their friends.

Dream only gave him a hum in response, letting him blabble more about upcoming football games, cute girls who he'd horribly try to flirt with, and whatever else popped up in his pea brain. However Dream was looking right over his shoulder, he had his eye on a girl who was passing by to talk to her brother who was only a year older. She had long, pink and flowy hair pulled back into a low pony tail and she was wearing simple attire. Dream knew who she was, and though not many people did, they all knew her brother. Techno. 

He was basically a menace upon the townspeople, known to be affiliated with bad people and would do anything for the ones he loved. His sister, Kendra, was sweet, shy and had a huge attraction to Dream. She had since senior year of highschool. He didn't think it was cocky to say he had the good looks to pull most people, and all though there was only one person he wanted, he did. Just not for long. 

And so that's exactly what happened with Kendra, the night was young and like expected, he'd made a mistake. He had told her the exact words, "I'm not looking for anything serious I hope you know, this is a one time thing and if you don't want to after hearing that okay, I just don't want you to be surprised come morning time." And she'd agreed, telling him it was fine and just glad she had this chance to begin with.

After that night and in the morning when him and Kendra woke up in the same bed and he was ready to leave, her heart basically got shattered into a million pieces. Dream warned her beforehand it wasn't anything serious she was just hoping it would last a little longer. So, off Dream went and Kendra ran back home to where she lived with her brother. Maybe she told him or maybe it was just that sixth sense but either way Techno had found out and was far from happy. 

Only two days after he made it clear he wasn't happy with Dream with a few punches and harsh words. With a bloody nose, split lip and a little bit of bruising, Dream had walked away and straight to Sapnaps house. 

"Why would you even do that! You know how Techno is." Sapnap said, whispering a few names under his breath as he wiped some of the blood from Dreams face. He'd insisted cleaning him up himself so he could scold him on his mistakes while doing so. 

"Dude! Chill out." Dream pulled back and with a sigh he tossed his hands in the air. "I warned her, she knew what was going to happen and she still wanted to. I don't know what she was expecting." 

"Still a shit move," He pulled Dream closer and wiped off the last of blood. "What're you gonna do about it?" 

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you gonna get him back?"

One sentence, six words, and 17 different letters was all it took to start a months worth of fighting between Techno and Dream. The next day after a good nights rest, Sapnap and Dream were off again but this time to the store.

Inside they strolled through the aisles, passing sketchbooks, paint, and art supplies, they stopped in front of a few racks of spray paint. They had colors ranging from plenty of shades and tones but after some bickering on whether they should've gotten green or blue, they settled on a two bright red cans. 

Neither of them suspected spray-painting "Cock sucker" on Techno's driveway would result in even more fighting--stupidly--they thought it would end everything off in a one for one. Techno ruffed Dream up so Dream and Sapnap vandalized his driveway. They could've gone to his house and had a 2v1 but that wouldn't have been fair. If they were going to fight it was going to be clean. 

And they did end up fighting. After a neighbor knocked on Technos door to make him aware of the large, bold and dehumanizing words on his driveway. Not only humiliated but he was furious too, which brought him to call up another fight with Dream and unlike last time, Dream was prepared. So he accepted and it may not have been effortless, but he had won and flaunted that in Sapnaps face, who thought he was going to get his ass beat a second time. 

After that, every other few weeks would be another fight between them or something to signify their hatred for each other, now, Techno seemed to be stepping it up.
