The morning had passed by fairly quickly and, soon enough, it was time for Aleks to make his way to the cafeteria for lunch.
He walked around the halls, dodging the teens in his way silently. He grumbled at the slow girls who didn’t seem to be able to talk while walking at a normal pace and pushed through them, getting a ‘hey!’ from each girl in response. He ignored them and continued walking until he absentmindedly pushed through a group of though looking guys who didn’t seem too happy with his shoving.
He tried to walk faster but was pulled back by his hood instead. A pair of strong arms then pushed him against the closets lockers, making a clanking sound resonate through the hall.
He looked at the three aggressors who had confident smirks on their faces.
“Well, well, well, look what we have here, boys,” the blonde one, the one who happened to be the one to pin him against the lockers, taunted.
“Looks like it’s the new kid,” one of his friends continued.
“Oh, you’re going fuck him up, aren’t you, Brad?” the last one asked, sounding eager.
Brad’s smirk grew wider. “Well, he does need to learn a lesson; after all, he can’t go shoving people like that.”
He looked around, panicked, looking for a teacher or a Creature that could keep him from getting beat up. Unfortunately, the only people around had run off, scared to get beat up themselves.
He felt a hard punch hit him in the stomach making him remember the familiar pain he was beginning to finally have a chance to forget.
“What’s wrong, new kid? Can’t fight back?” the second one teased, joining in as he pushed Aleks to the floor.
“Looks like he doesn’t talk much either,” Brad provoked, kicking his side.
Pain blossomed from the hits he received, making him wince. Just as he they were about to leave, he slowly managed to get to his feet. The three bullies stepped back with amused grins.
“At least the weakling can get back up.”
He looked down at the floor with a scowl as he felt anger surge through his veins, causing his face to be covered by his shaggy hair.
“Fuck you,” he muttered irritably, his fists clenching.
“What was that?” Brad, who he could judge was the leader by now, asked, his provoking tone not leaving his voice.
Instead of repeating himself like he usually would, he clenched his right fist tighter and punched the lead bully in the jaw as hard as he could, sending Brad into the other two behind him.
His two friends caught him as he fell, glaring at him and dragging him away.
Aleks looked down at his fists with a mixture of surprise and pride. For once in his life, he had actually defended himself. He wasn’t exactly proud he hurt someone else, no matter how much the deserved it, but he was still proud of himself to be able to stand his ground.
His satisfaction was cut short as he felt the pain course back where he was hit. He cursed under his breath and struggled to enter the cafeteria.
He glanced around the enormous room for the familiar faces of his friends and, once he found them, he limped as quickly as he could to their table, trying to keep the aching as minimal as possible.
He saw an alone meal next to Eddie, smiling as he realized that Sly had gotten his lunch for him. He couldn’t help but notice Eddie looking around the room frantically for some reason.
He signaled all the guys to stay quiet by putting his index in front of his mouth with a smile. He sat down in his seat while Eddie was looking the opposite way and tapped his shoulder. Eddie turned around with an irritated face.
“What?”
Sly’s face quickly changed from an annoyed one to a relieved one as he realized who was actually in front of him.
“Aleks!” he exclaimed, hugging him tightly.
“Missed me?” he joked, chuckling with a slight blush.
Sly only gripped tighter, causing the Russian to recoil slightly; Sly happened to be unintentionally pressing harshly on his fresh bruises.
Probably noticing his flinching, Eddie pulled back with a worried and confused expression.
“What’s wrong?”
The other Creatures glanced at him with the same worried look as they heard Sly’s question, but Aleks just motioned them to go back to their conversation before turning back to the concerned YouTuber.
“It’s nothing,” he lied, trying to assure him that everything was fine.
“Aleks, you’ve already fooled me the first time, you’re not going to do it again. Tell me the truth,” Eddie demanded with a disappointed face.
He sighed and picked at the food Sly had kindly brought for him.
“I kind of… got beat up,” he murmured.
“What?”
“I got beat up again,” he admitted in a normal tone, avoiding the other’s gaze.
“What?” the teen with spikey hair repeated loudly, outraged. “By who?”
“Three random dudes I don’t know. I think one of them is named Brad.”
“I’m going to kill that fucking asshole next time I see him.”
Aleks started eating his food, slightly chuckling to make the atmosphere less heavy.
“Honestly, the last thing anyone needs is for you to become a murderer, but I appreciate it anyways. You know that dude?”
Eddie sighed. “Everyone knows him; he’s the biggest bully in the school. Everyone is afraid to stand up to him, even some of the teachers.”
"And you're not?" Aleks questioned.
"Not if I'm defending you," Eddie said with a confident grin and his features.
The pale dog-eared teenager blushed lightly and gave the other a grateful smile before going back to his meal.
