Nythan walked out of the school gate, not noticing that Mike was actually following him. It wasn't until they passed through a basketball ground where many people were playing rough and hard. The ball came flying towards Nythan's face, causing him to fall to the ground with his books scattered all over him.
A boy came over, picked up the ball without apologizing, and instead made fun of Nythan's unfortunate situation.
"HAHAHA, isn't this the little nerd who bumped into a tree the other day?!" he yelled, trying to get his friends' attention.
They all gathered around him, laughing together. "You're right!! HAHAHA! You know what's missing on you, shrimpy? You need a pair of 200+ glasses since you can't even see a huge tree in front of you! HAHAHA! Isn't that pathetic? Shouldn't nerds always have their glasses on? HAHAHA."
Mike became furious at the hurtful words they said to Nythan. Without a second thought, he exposed himself. He walked towards Nythan, grabbed him by the shoulder, and slapped the hand of the person who had been mocking him.
"Any problem here, boys?" Mike spoke with his deep voice, causing the boys to gulp nervously.
"N-No, sir!" the boy began trembling the moment he saw Mike's intimidating posture and aura, sweat forming all over his face. They decided to leave, but Mike went and held their shoulders.
"I think there's someone you should apologize to," he stated firmly.
The boys marched back to Nythan and bowed their heads in front of him. "We're very sorry, sir! We promise we won't do it again!" they said in unison, and all Nythan did was nod.

"You were quite scary earlier," Nythan mumbled.
"Oh, really? Hehe."
"But still, you saved me. Thank you!" Nythan smiled while hugging his books even tighter to his chest.
"Those books look quite heavy. Shall I help you carry them?"
"Ah, no! It's alright. Thank you!"
"You see, you don't have to apologize every time you respond."
"Ah, sorry... I mean, okay!"
"Hahaha."

Random Cafe
Bryle's P.O.V
"Something's off with that guy," I started.
I had so many different questions roaming around my mind right now. One of them is why Mike seems interested in that lowkey guy. We've been friends for half a decade now, but I can't understand why he suddenly left us and went after him.
Nythan, that guy, never fails to give me creeps. His shoulder-length hair is making him even more unattractive. He has huge eyebags below his eyes, as if he wasn't sleeping for weeks. Back in class, nobody wants to talk to him or ever had the idea of approaching him. He looks disgusting, and his grades are so bad that he had to be called into a teacher's office every semester.
And Mike was the opposite of all of him. He was kind and a prince charming in school. He never fails to be in the rank amongst the school's geniuses. Popular and a smartass, now that's sick!
"What do you mean off? He's just a loner who's seeking attention," Amber responded with a bored voice.
"Are you perhaps jealous because he is with this guy named Nythan?" Ryan teased her.
"Wha-! H-hey! Of course not!" Amber's face turned red as a tomato.
"Anyways, can you explain to us what seems kinda off about him, Bryle?" Ryan turned to me.
"I... I don't know... but I can somehow feel it. That guy is somewhat a bad sign for Mike," I responded.
"Lame!" Amber yelled.
"Shut up, bitch! At least I care for him! All you ever do is watch his every move with your mouth drooling over his beauty."
"BRYLE!!" I got surprised when Ryan went yelling at me. I turned to him, giving him a confused look. I just noticed that all the people's eyes are on us, so I got embarrassed.
"That's not a polite way to address a lady!" he said.
"Man! You too? You called that thing a lady?"
As far as I know, Amber is really a bitch, a slut. I mean, she dated almost all the guys in school, and now she's after my best friend, Mike. I don't know what's gotten into her head that he accepted this gross woman.
Tears began building in Amber's eyes, and now she walked out of the cafe. I could care less for someone like her. Her tears won't be enough to pay for all the men's hearts she broke.
Now, back to square one.
Just why? Mike?
Third Person's P.O.V
"Uhm, Mike? This is our house," Nythan pointed to the gate of an enormous mansion. Mike gasped the moment he saw the tall building standing in front of him.
"W-W-What?! Is this really your house?!"
"Yes, it is."
"B-But it's bigger than the City's Mall! What a gigantic house you got there," his jaw dropped.
"I got? No, this all belongs to my sister," he responded as his eyes turned cold.
"Sister? You got a sister?"
"Ahh, yes. She's 4 years older than me," he responded, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Do you get along much?" Mike asked.
"We do... a lot actually."
"Then that's good! Ahh! It's almost 5! I gotta go," Mike went and took a peek at his watch.
"Mike?"
"Yes?"
"You see... it's my first time having a friend," he spoke as his face turned as red as a tomato.
"Come visit me someday! We can play games, any games you like. I have the popular PS5 inside," he added.
"WOAH!! YOU GOT THE PS5!! THE PRICE OF THAT THING IS OVER THE MOON!!" he shouted.
"Hey, man! Shush!"
"Ah, sorry!... sure I will! and I'm gonna meet and greet your sister," he said with a gentle smile on his face.
"You shouldn't approach my sister," he mumbled, but it isn't enough for Mike to hear.
"What?"
"Ahh-ehh nothing, I said take care on your way!" scratching the back of his head while trying to hide what he just said.
"You too!"
"Ma'am! I found the target. He was temporarily residing in a condo on ***** street. What should I do about him, ma'am?"
"You already found him? That fast? Amazing, Aki! I love how you do things in fast hands... About that guy... Here, take this." A certain maiden picked up a heavy suitcase and offered it to her servant named Aki.
"Inside of that are different types of assassination blades. If you ever see him exiting his condo, bring any men with you to lure him somewhere and SNAP! DEAD! But don't you dare damage any of the goods. Just slice his throat, and you're done!" she commanded.
"As you wish, ma'am," her servant responded as she bowed herself in front of her master. She then excused herself and exited the office.
The maiden turned her swivel chair in front of the magnificent view from the tallest building in the city. Stars are visible and twinkling like a thousand fireflies. The moon was so bright that a person might think someone will turn into a monster this instant.
Perhaps they're right.
There is someone...
A certain person who got her heart painted in black.
A certain person who never had any second thought of sending someone to hell.
A certain person who thinks killing people is fun.
A certain person who cannot be tamed.
THE MONSTER.
