Novelaksi: S.K.I.N

He with The Red Eye

Fire... Silhouette... Screams... Red... Eye... Symbol... Iris... Gun barrell... Ugh...... Ah-

"AH!"

"Yo bro, bro, you good?"

Pan was firmly holding on to Aris's arm. A look of concern was on his face.

"Uh- Huh? What? Oh, Pan, it's you.."

Aris shakes his head, while he palms his forehead.

"That dream again?"

"Yeah.. Hey, where's everyone else?"

Aris lifts his head and saw an empty classroom, with only him and Pan. The twilight glow of dawn being the only thing illuminating the room.

"Everyone already left, bro. School is over."

He chuckled a bit at the sight of a dazed and confused Aris.

"Fuuuuuccckkkkk. How long was I asleep for?"

"The entire math class."

"Holy shit."

Aris scans the surrounding again one last time.

"We should be go- wait that means you've been waiting for me this entire time?"

"We're on roster duty this week, dumbass."

"Shit- I'll get the broo-"

"Don't worry, I've already done that for you too."

"FR? You're the best, Pan!!"

He went in for a hug, but was reluctantly pushed away by Pan.

"Get your drooly, slobby ass face off of me, boy. Let's get out of here."

"Aight."

They both picked up their bags and left the school compound.

"-I for one think that they should remake Cicakman from the start! The Zizan soft reboot totally fucked up the worldbuilding!!"

"True, and they should give Rrama giant tit-"

"AHAHAHA, FOUND THE RED GENE! AHAHAHAHAHA!!,"  two men in an all-black outfit exclaimed, while harassing a man in office attire.

"Wh-what? I-I don't understand? L-leave me alone!! I'll give you money! J-just leave me alone!"

The man whimpers.

"We don't want your money redcuck! We want your life AHAHA-" his laugh was cut short by a solid kick to the head from Pan.

"Leave that man alone."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

The other man yelled at Pan, pointing at him while doing so.

"That doesn't matter to you, bitch."

The man who yelled earlier charged at Pan.

"YOU FUCKING REDCUCK WHORE!!!"

"Not so fast" Aris trips the man from behind.

The salaryman stares as a brawl breaks out. The two highschoolers exchange blows with the men in black.

Suddenly, one of the man stops the other from throwing a fist.

"Wait! Gan! I don't think they're red genes...! We should report this to them."

"You might be right... Wait till Lord Kinsley hears about this...."

"Hey! Where the fuck do you think you're going!" shouted Aris.

The two flea the scene. Pan, Aris, and the salaryman are left there confused.

"Thank you so much boys! I don't know how I could thank you enough.."

"Maybe you could give us some mone-"

Aris's words failed to escape his mouth, as Pan had covered it with his hand.

"Don't sweat it, sir."

"Fhu yu no wha-"

Aris takes Pan's hand off of his mouth.

"Do you know what those guys' deal were? Why did they attack you?"

"I have no clue! They kept calling me a red gene... I don't even know what that means... I was going home from the train station.. an-and-"

"Dude relax lol."

Pan punches Aris's shoulder for that remark. Aris looks back at Pan while rubs his right shoulder.

"It's alright sir, you don't need to tell us anything else."

"Oh thank you!! Thank you, boys! I mean it, thank you!"

The man gets up and walks away from them.

The sky begins to dim, the soft glow from the sun paints the ground orange, and the water a glimmering gold. Pan and Aris walks along a jogging path of dirt near a river.

"What does it all mean..?"

"I don't know Pan.. and why did they say we weren't red genes?"

"We'll have to find out."
