Tiny Terror

Vasco Is A Pokemon

  "Hey-yo, Vasco!" I called out in a playful tone while walking outside to where he and the other Burn Knuckles were. Taking a drink from my soda, I glanced around while seeing none of them had jackets on. 'These guys are beasts!' I thought, but my eyes went wide as Vasco turned around with a smile while wrapping what looked like boxing tape around his arm. Choking on my drink, I hadn't expected him to have his torso only covered by that tight tank top, and dear Lord, he was hot.

  "Oh, hey, Mia! Are you okay?!"

  "Fine!" I coughed while beating a fist against my chest. "Just fine." I had to look away to regain my composure and the missing oxygen from the Vasco Surprise Attack. It felt like walking through grass and a wild Pokemon appearing and kicking my ass.

  "Daniel. What's up, man?" I glanced up at who Vasco was greeting.

  "Ahh....Vasco. I was hot, so I came for some fresh air." Daniel was stumbling a little and for some reason, he was wearing a suit.

  "Oh, oh! Cool! Can't stay inside all winter."

  "And you wearing no sleeves in winter is awesome." 'No, it's not!' I mentally hissed. 'I'm dying over here!'

  "Daniel! I think you're getting more manly. Looks good!" Vasco replied.

  "Oh, really?" Daniel got closer, and I could smell alcohol on him. "Vasco, what are you up to?"

  "Oh! Working out! Jace is dodging all the fists." The big guy explained as the big-eared male was swiftly moving his face out of the way to avoid the punches sent at him.

  "Woah!"

  "Whew- You wanna try?" Jace asked Daniel as he stretched out his neck. Drinking from my soda again, I made sure to swallow before I turned to look at Vasco again.

  "Ah, really? Can I really? You sure you're okay with it?" Daniel asked as he got into a fighting stance.

  "Don't worry. Bring it on." Jace answered as his face went serious. The boy in the suit then sent a flurry of quick jabs, and Jace was moving but....each hit was landing on his face.... "Hoo hoo hoo, you saw right? ....My strong resistance!" Jace weakly said while already covered in bruises.

  "Wow! Awesome! Amazing!" Daniel clapped.

  "The fuck...." I mumbled behind my soda can.

  "Daniel, let's go and eat."

  "Okay. Ah, it's lunchtime."

  "Just a sec Vasco.... I'll go to the infirmary...." Jace sort of wobbled.

  "Okay, Jace." Raising a brow, it seemed Vasco was oblivious to Daniel being drunk off his ass as the boy couldn't even walk straight. Sighing, I just buried my free hand into my pocket while taking a drink.

  Walking into the cafeteria, I barely heard people whispering about Daniel being with us. Jace had gotten patched up rather quickly, and he was already in Mama Bear mode as he walked next to Vasco with Daniel on the other side of the Burn Knuckles leader.

  "Daniel. Little Danny didn't come to work out this morning. Something wrong?" Vasco asked.

  "Huh? Oh, he's sleeping all day."

  "Oh....Little Danny's resolve is weak. We'll have to increase the training."

  "Yep. Some severe training to straighten him out!"

  "Daniel! Today you are manly. Cool." Vasco smiled, and my eyes twitched as I finished my soda in a quick gulp.

  "Hehe, thanks." Daniel hiccuped.

  "Oh, so you gotta be manly to be cool? I see how it is." I grumbled while crushing the can in my hand.

  "What?" Vasco looked back at me. "Of course not! You're amazing too, Mia." He grinned, and I stopped in my tracks as I had to literally turn away while grabbing my coveralls over my heart. 'Fuuuuuuck! Stop it!' I mentally shouted as I could feel my ears burning and the can in my hand got crushed even more.

  "Hey, hey, hey. Whew- Alcohol smell." A teacher grabbing Daniel's ear caught everyone's attention. "So you've come to cure a hangover? Your name and department."

  "Fashion Department, Daniel Park." The boy answered as the other students were whispering about him being drunk.

  "You must've drank heavily." The teacher said.

  "No. I drank just one glass." Daniel stated.

  "You punk. Lying right to my face. Where was it? Playground? Friend's house?"

  "No.... Not a friend's house.... Well....I can't really recall....where I drank."

  "Punk. Are you kidding me? Give me a straight answer."

  "No, I really don't know what kind of place.... Oh, right! The business card!" Daniel pulled a card from his pocket and handed it over. "Here is the card. I drank there."

  "Ho ho....you think you are tough? Ridiculous. Let's see here...." The teacher looked down at the card in his hand. "Rainbow.... An esc-escort service?! You really drank there?! Who gave you this card?"

  "....Um that was....the Madam." Daniel replied, and the scene playing out in the cafeteria made it feel as if I was watching TV.

  "You.... Come to my office after school! You're messing with me!" The teacher raised his voice while turning on his heel and leaving. Then, my eyes went wide when Vasco suddenly swung a fist at Daniel. The other boy barely dodged, but Vasco's knuckles skimmed his nose and caused blood to drip.

  "....You drank? I'm disappointed. To straighten you out, I'm gonna beat you." The big guy had a stern expression on his face as he raised his fists.

  "Vasco....did you just hit me?" Daniel gained a condescending smirk while wiping the blood away. 'Oh, shit, do I do something? Should I, like, break it up or something?! Mama Jace, what do I do?!' I thought as Vasco went to hit Daniel again. The boy in the suit twisted out of the way, going to drive his elbow into Vasco's face until the taller male ducked under it. Vasco swung his fist up, barely hitting Daniel's nose again and blood flew.

  Daniel sent a Brazilian Kick at the larger boy, and Vasco managed to block it just in time. They both went to hit each other again, and I tossed my soda can at Daniel, pegging him on the side of his head while getting them both to stop and look at me.

  "Oi....unless you two dipshits plan on dealing with me when I'm hungry, move." I said flatly while jerking up my chin. "I get a short fuse when I haven't eaten." It was quiet, but the two took a few steps back to let me get to the cafeteria line.

  "See you later, Daniel. Just you wait." Vasco pointed as Mama Jace jumped in and grabbed the taller male.

  "Okay, Vasco. He's drunk, now...."

  "Come on, you're buying my food for that delay." I stated while dragging Vasco behind me by the front of his shirt.
