TW: SWEARING, VIOLENCE

Benjamin Hawke/Ben

It's been a week.

One week since Kristin has come to school. Rumors have been spreading that the principal expelled her for bullying her beloved niece. Although, if that was the case, she would have been fired.

Plus, only a fool would expel Kristin. Her academic and athletic scores are so high, that it is encouraging others to reach to her level.

They could never match her brilliance. Her kindness, her ambition—

"BEN!!!" The teacher yelled, as I finally snapped out of my thoughts. I looked around and found everyone staring at me and the teacher fuming.

Next thing I know, I have been handed a detention slip and 'escorted' to the detention room.

Everybody's eyes widened, including the teacher's, when I walked in.

"No way..." Said a girl.

"Mirrale didn't do any justice to him..." Whispered a girl to her friend, ogling me.

"The golden boy of football in detention..." A boy scoffed. He was jealous. Well, what can I do except make it worse?

He seemed to have a girlfriend, and I waved at her with a smile. I think she almost fainted. The boy looked at me, with such anger in his eyes that it almost scared me.

Almost, because while I was the favorite of almost every girl in this school, I was almost all the boys' enemy.

The teacher finally accepted the paper and told me to sit down. With nothing to do, I just started thinking.

Kristin was the only one who didn't treat me like that. She just treated me like a normal human being.

Is that why I just have the urge to grab her fa—

NOPE!

YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS BENJAMIN HAWKE!

Plus, she probably doesn't feel the same way. I can't even ask her cause she hasn't been at school and I don't know where she lives.

Wait! I can ask Natasha!

Hold on, why am I talking to myself?

Ah, never mind that.

Detention finally ended, and my goal was to find Natasha before I heard...

"Hey, did you hear? That super popular girl got expelled cause she was messing with Jessica."

"Well, it isn't verified. So we shouldn't—" I tried to say but I was interrupted by the same boy from detention.

"She was harassing Jessica. I think it was well deserved." He said with a smirk.

I then lost it.

"No matter why she was expelled, it is none of your business." I said, and then tried to walk away to find Natasha, but the boy blocked my path.

"Excuse me." I said, trying to get him to move.

"Your excused." He said with a smirk. I guess I should have seen it coming.

"Okay, I'm sorry that your life is going so bad that you have nothing important to do except bother people who have emergencies which are really fucking important, but I really need to go." I said.

"You wanna fight Hawke? Cause you know you will lose." He said. At this point, Natasha is probably gone.

"Just made me late for my emergency—" He interrupted me. By punching me.

All the student oohed, some winced. But after that, they started to chant "FIGHT! FIGHT!" over and over again. I looked at the boy in his eyes, already seeing red, and punched with all my might.

He fell on the floor.

"How dare you..." He said while he charged towards me but then we heard someone's voice.

"What the fuck is going on here??!" Kristin yelled out.
