A Turn of Events

"OOOOH" The crowd of students gasped.
Cobin puffed up his chest and trudged towards me, staring right into my eyes.
What is this?
Is this the way people become friends?
I stayed there because I was so confused.
Hannah choked on her spit.

I'm dead ass confused.
Agent 3's technique caused quite an attention for no reason at all.

Eliot was able to get up with all the chaos that was going on.
He looked at me with widened eyes, like he was scared of something.
"Hey you ass. What did you just do?" Cobin spat.

I shrugged.
What? He doesn't get it? Does he want me to be besties with him?
I raised a second middle finger with my left hand.
The whole crowd was triggered. They gasped even louder, as Eliot backed away.

I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A NICE BOND. WHAT ARE THEY SO SHOCKED ABOUT?
Cobin tried to shove me with both his hands, but he was shoved back instead.
That's what you get when you try to push a guy stronger than you.
All that salt must be running off of him right now.

With an embarrassed look, he regained his balance and threw a punch at my face.
I caught it with my fists before it collided into my face, and I looked at him in awe.

Why is he attacking me when I'm tryna be his friend?
Rude.

He tried to punch me again with his other hand, but missed again.
Well, guess I'm not gonna be friends with him anymore.

Cobin sighed heavily as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
Is he getting serious?

Some of the kids pulled out their phones and started recording. I gave them a glare but that didn't stop them.

Cobin widened his legs and his shoulders moved to the side a bit.

Damn, is he tryna start a fight now? What did I do?
He rolled up his fists and covered his face partially.

That stance...is he a boxer?
Without hesitation, he tried to jam his fist to my face with a straight punch.
I dodged quickly as I kicked him down.
I didn't want to use my full strength. That was probably like 10% of it because I really didn't want to kill him.
Yeah, I'm nice like that.

But blondie didn't learn his lesson, eh?
He did get quicker though but...humans aren't really that good of a fighter. Besides, why a straight punch? So basic.

I forgot that the others were watching me because when I turned around, every one of their jaws were touching the ground.

I could fit a car in there.
Cobin got up in a few seconds, spitting on the ground.

Janitor is gonna have to get that. Feel bad for whoever that is.
"You've got guts newbie." He seethed, his eyebrows furrowed as he let off a growl.
For some reason, he seems like all talk. Dude can't even land a hit on me.
But I mean...no one in the academy can anyway so...

He got into his stance again, pouncing around me like a monkey while I stayed still, wondering what the heck he is doing.
Hannah got besides him as if she was backing him up.

Man, I really cannot with these people. They are wasting my time.
I could kill them right here if I wanted to.

Cobin threw a jab and Hannah charged at me, but everything happened so slowly.
I felt a tiny shockwave in my brain as the lights flickered off.
At the same moment, I flung Eliot onto my back, galloping down the halls as I heard everyone panic and murmur.
