His fury felt heavy, starting to bud into rage. Wrath. He shouldn't even feel so angry about it. It was just the idea that people were suspicious of him, scrutinized him, judged him, that made him mad. Why can't they just trust his motives? Now he could see the reasoning behind it, but it hurt.
His feet dragged him farther down the hall, anger pushing him along. Along his way, he saw someone leaning against the wall, foot outwards into the space of the hall. Just from the sight of the long black duster, Speed knew it was just who he wanted to see.
Speed walked faster until he was right behind Alec. Alec looked over his shoulder with a smug grin but Speed pushed him off balance. Alec tumbled forward, waving his arms about, before being knocking over. Alec blinked, startled, and scooted back. He shook his head with a bewildered gaze.
"What's gotten into you? You aren't the pushy kind," Alec commented as he got up.
Speed harrumphed, "I got called to the counselor because of you! You set me up. Like I'd be happy with you right now."
"Me? Set you up? No, I wouldn't," Alec frowned and crossed his arms.
Speed looked both ways down the hall, getting angrier and angrier with him. Alec clearly tried to get him in trouble. The whole bleaching his hair stunt, it sent him over. It was almost as if Alec was trying to screw everything up. Speed fumed, "Yes, you did. The report we wrote? You put my name on your paper. And not only that, you were so... weird with it. Your paper was just, what's the word, creepy! And now apparently with my hair, I look like one of them? And the hat? Are you trying to do something to me?"
"I haven't done anything. You wrote the paper..." He tilted his head, looking into the void space beside them.
"You did!" The racer stopped his foot.
"Chill," The shorter of the two replied with an almost demanding tone.
That was the final straw. From almost out of nowhere, Speed suddenly uppercut Alec, tossed Speed several feet away and watched him thud to the ground. Alec only peered up at him with a doe-eyed stare that slowly faded into an empty stare. Alec's face shuddered as a devilish grin began to overtake his face. As Alec gave him a sadistic grin, Speed felt a pulsing headache come on. The malicious gaze hinted to Speed Alec knew of his suffering.
Speed turned away from Alec, but the room spun. Seconds into walking, a wrongly placed foot brought him down as well.
