It has been a few months since the X games and I haven't seen Bradley since. It's like he had just vanished into thin air, I mean I wouldn't show my face either if I did something like that. I guess it makes sense since his reputation had plummeted after the x games and everyone pretty much hated him now. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be rid of him but it's just weird for Bradley to have disappeared like that.

Me and Bobby were headed to our first class of the day, occasionally getting stopped by people on the way. We had grown very popular after beating the gammas and exposing them as the cheaters they are. Obviously I got a lot more attention than Pj and Bobby since I was the one who beat THE Bradley Uppercrust III and survived that fire, honestly I think I'm almost as famous on campus as Bradley was when he was the king and everyone loved him.

Me and Bobby were sat in class, I was writing notes when Bobby whispered to me "Dude, you're never going to believe who's sat behind us right now." I gave Bobby a confused luck then turned to see who it was.
No fucking way. I turned back to Bobby wide-eyed "What the fuck is he doing here!?" I whisper-shouted.
"No idea man, I thought he transferred" Bobby shrugged while turning back to his work.

It was Bradley. I looked back at Bradley who was sitting by himself, I then looked around, everyone in class was whispering while taking glances at him. Everyone was still scared of him, even more so after the X games, but now avoided him instead of bowing at his feet out of fear.
I looked back at Bradley, he looked uncomfortable, no doubt because of all the people whispering and glaring at him. He looked a mess, well he still looked good, just a mess for Bradley since he usually always looked put together and perfect. He had bags under his eyes and his hair looked forced down while it used to just naturally fell into the right places.

I was so lost in thought I didn't even realize I was staring and Bradley noticed, he just glared at me viciously, then scoffed and went back to his work.
I wondered if I should try to talk to him, but I decided against it since that look he gave me put an uneasy feeling in my stomach, it looked like he wanted to kill me. I thought Bradley no longer scared me after I beat him, but seeing him again made me realize that couldn't be further from the truth.

Why do I feel so eager to talk to Bradley anyways?

Everyone was staring at me and whispering, I hoped the ground would just open up and swallow me right there and then.

I'd been hidden away in my room for months after the X games, far too ashamed to show my face. The only reason I decided to come out of hiding is because my grades had dropped significantly after not going to class for months, and the last thing I needed was my dad being even more mad at me then he already was.

My life has went downhill after what happened at the games, everyone hates me and I can't even blame them. The gammas won't even talk to me, not like I care about them, though they are even more terrified of me after seeing what I'm capable of. They avoid me like the plague around the house, just like everyone else on campus that runs away when I get close. The only person I wish would forgive me is Tank, but that wasn't going to happen after I nearly killed him.

When I looked up from my work I saw no other than Max Goof, he was just...staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face. The sight of him made me seethe with anger, he finally broke out of his daydreaming and noticed this; I just scoffed and went back to my work.

Why the hell was he staring at me like that? I had to dig my nails into my palms to stop myself from lashing out, just the sight of him alone seemed to make me insanely angry. I don't even know why I always get angry so easily, I probably got the trait from my father since he's the same. Unlike him though I take my anger out in less violence ways...well most of the time.
