Unintentionally Chased

07. Existence

I went home, had my lunch and was trying to study chemistry, unsuccessfully might I add. This part of chemistry is different than the equalization one. We have lab practical tomorrow and I don't know a single thing about it.

"Ahh!" I sighed and rested my head back on the chair. Swinging on the chair with my hands resting on the study table for the support, I was wondering what to do.

"Levy! I need your help." Adam shouts from the living room in a voice that really needs help.

I hastened towards the hall thinking he might be hurt or something.

'Wow!' He is completely fine sitting on the couch playing a video game!

"What is it, Adam?" I snapped.
He turned towards me with a smile and said. "Come here soon." Tapping on the couch beside him.

His smile always melts my anger.

I sat beside him. He threw a joystick at me and spoke without looking away from the screen.

"Handle this car while I shoot."

He changes the single-mode to a duel.

"Is that why you called me?" I asked and paused the game.

"Of course." He said and resumed the game.

"That's not the way to call someone for PLAYIN A GAME." I said stressing on words 'playing a game' and paused again.

"Doesn't matter. Now play please." He resumed again.

We played the game until it was time for me to go to the office. I dressed in a suit this time black along with a tie. Trussed my hair into the same bun, I put on my fake glasses and took a bag with three suits in it. If I get a situation like yesterday I can change there.

During my way, I saw some kids in a playground who were bullying a kid. I thought to go and help but stayed in my car and drove it to the playground. To gain their attention, I flashed the headlight on them.

"Who's there?" One of the kids asked.

"Leave the boy alone." I hollered from the car.

"It's a girl in the car." Another kid said while narrowing his eyes to see through black glasses.

None of them moved from their spot. So, I rammed the car against one of the boys just to scare him not hurt. He took a step back on my action.

"Hey! Are you trying to kill us." The third boy yelled at me.

Of course not. I am just scaring you.

I didn't respond instead turned my car in his direction.

"She's mad." The fourth boy shouted.

They were four against one. Bad.

Now I was following each boy, one after another until they ran screaming. I halted my car in front of the kid and stepped out. He was sitting on his knees with a book pressed against his chest in folded arms.

"Hey, Kid." I looked down at him.

He is almost 14 years old with brown wavy hair that covered his forehead. From the top, his jaw appeared curve which gave his face a round shape.

He raised his head to meet my gaze and stood on his feet. He has brown eyes. I handed him a water bottle and asked his name.

"Luke." He said after he drank the water.

"Why were they bullying you?" I asked out of my curiosity.

"Because I am poor." He said simply as if it always happens to him and dusted his clothes.
