The Invisible Angel

Chapter 1: My Appearance, My Biggest Enemy

The sun rises as it lights up the city of angels also known as Los Angeles. As the light spreads around the city, giving people the signal it's the next day. It also helps brighten a dark room in an apartment. It almost looks like it's abandoned for a while, but that won't be the case, since there's books lying on the ground, window's open, pencils falling from the backpack, bed sheets is not properly knitted on the bed, papers everywhere, a phone looks used and the earbud is not taken off and most importantly the bathroom door is open wide, the lights turned on and the water sink is still running loud and clear. It flooded the entire sink, made the bathroom floody and it continues doing it. There is somebody who could stop that sink, but he's instead sitting on the ground, letting his back touch the wall and sleeping by keeping his mouth open a tiny bit, while his head is his bend down. No idea how much the bill he's costing himself. Don't look like he's in the mood for caring. But suddenly, a ringtone rings louder but not as loud as the water pouring on the sink and making the washroom a floody mess. The ringtone does its job, by letting the phone user know that there's a call for him, but the phone user is too deep in sleep and the water sink is closer to his ears. Which unfortunately distracts him from hearing the call. The ring tone stopped. But the call came again. Still no response by the phone user. There is people outside hearing the ringtone from his house. Except the ones who are jogging with their headset on. The call came again the third time and this time it got on the nerves of fellow neighbors. "HEYYYYY, turn off that fucking sound!! It's 7 in the morning! Goddamit!! It's so loud out here!" A person in his 70s, express his anger by screamed his lung out. "HEY! Now don't you make it worse by screaming! We already have enough loudness!" A man with a bulky shoulder screams at the old man, right from his house. "Don't you dare disrespect me! I have a right to scream!" Suddenly they both started arguing and the argument is the only thing made the phone user break his sleep. He bends his head up and there's tear marks on his face. His eyes are still not properly open, but as he decides to get up. He slips on the floor. "Ahh fuck!.... fuck" He is curious about where's the shouting coming from and it makes him look a bit nervous. He gives it a shot again getting up, but he slips again because he felt the pain of his back. He squints his eyes, both eyebrows are lowered and drawn together while he exposes his teeth is such rage and frustration. The pain forced him to stay down, but he's forcing himself to pull himself up by grabbing the sink. The sink makes a loud crack and breaks down. But he managed to pull himself up somehow. "Shit... shit... what the hell happened... Why didn't I close the DAMN SINK!! Ah shit the water is everywhere. Fuck me...." The phone rings again. "Ahh fucking hell who the hell is calling me??" He manages to come outside the washroom and startled by the sight that he kept his window open. He thinks no wonder the screaming from outside was so loud and clear. He ducks down and goes near the window. He sees those people. His heart beats, palm sweaty and he slowly tries to pull the window down without making them notice. He is almost closer pulling the window down. "Hey you! Don't close the window now! You ruined my morning!" "C'mon old man, the window is closed now. The sound won't be that loud this time. Go off to your day. If you keep screaming you will ruin other peoples' day. Take care." "B-b-but!". He reaches his desk and quickly picks up his phone near his purple notebook. "Hey-" "Ayeee Mr Predator" The caller interrupts and excitedly speaks. "It's me, Robert aka Captain Knight! How's your mor-" "I obviously know it's you." This time now the kid interrupts. "It's not like I have anybody I have anyone who I regularly talk to call me." He responds in a bit of an angry tone. "What about scammers and wrong numbers?" Captain Knight responds out of curiosity. "They won't like me and I don't like them. Especially those disgusting scammers! Anyways do you-" "What? You calling your own people disgusting? Aren't you Indian too?" "No I am not. My parents are from Bangladesh." "Bruh that's India." "No it's not. Bangladesh is beside India!" "Huh? I didn't see any country besides India." "Oh my Goddd, fucking hell. I will tell you later. Anyways, do you know any more places where I could beat those rapists, drug dealers? It has to be those ugly dark skin guys. Please tell me you know something. It's been almost a week dude!" "Obviously I know something, that's why I called you. You think I called you cause I am your friend? Heh anyways, I got your present big guy." "Ok.. ok, when they will be-" Predator asks and Captain Midnight interrupts. "Tonight at 8. Sometime at 8. They usually hang around that time. There's a park a few miles away from our bar. You will spot them there. Enjoy and you're welcome. Also we all will be coming to the bar tonight, you can come there and maybe we can give you more info about more places those ugly dark skinned people doing shits they are not supposed to." "Alright, thanks." "They are just like the others. Probably have some knife or gun with them. But... one thing I am not sure about though... How many will be there and if there are some civilians. There might be some walking around. Sooooo watch out. You said one time, you don't wanna let everyone know that there's a brown guy inside the mask terrorizing the dirty looking criminals. Cause it's gonna hurt the reputation of other innocent brown people of yours. I think that's what you said. I guess... anyways welp, then you gotta be extra careful tonight. If you were white then yeah, you can be as angry, as violent, as dangerous you can be and nobody's gonna give a a fuck about it and people will instead find the actions justifiable and cool. It won't be like other times, where you meet them in an alley, violently beat them up and go back home. Tonight you just don't have to worry about escaping the cops but also avoiding people figuring out who you are inside the mask. So yeah, tonight will be different." The caller immediately ends the call. He gets quiet for a while. He thinks deeply. As he's thinking he suddenly gets a glimpse of the photo of his mom and him. Taken on the beach, filled with grey skies. His soul starts to feel a bit calm and relaxed after getting a glimpse of her. Also emotional. His mother won't be happy with who he has been. As he keeps thinking about it, he gets a glimpse of his clock on the table and realizes it's almost time for school. "Oh crap, school's gonna start. I was actually feeling a bit hungry. Should I skip school today? Nah I have been doing that for a couple of days. I need to catch up with some assignments. There's still time before the locking date comes. I gotta finish them as quickly as possible." Amir said in a nervous tone. Then come home, exercise for tonight. Yeah a lot of work to do. "Shit i am kinda hungry.... Never mind there's no time for that."
