Dark Hell

Chapter 3

We all went home after class riding our bikes. We all ride bikes just to be practical. Our parents aren't really wealthy but we just love to ride bikes, besides bikes are good especially on traffic and we can easily go through.

I say goodbye to the others after we separate ways going to our own homes.

I arrived seeing my little brother, Georgie on the terrace, eating some chicken sandwich.

"Hey bro!" He greeted.

"Hello there little buddy!" I responded. "So, how's my brother Georgie by now? Are you okay?" I said ruffling his blonde hair.

Well, Georgie is a little bit sick when I left home this morning.

"I'm getting better." He answered happily.

"That's good to hear. Where's mom and dad?" I asked.

"There inside." He pouted.

"Then, why you're all alone here? Come on inside."

We both went inside the house. I saw mom and dad watching their favorite airing drama series on TV that makes me smile.

"Bill, you're here." Mom said. "So, how school?"

"It's great, Mom!" I say "We have some little arguments but it's all done."

"Are you hurt?" Dad said worriedly.

"No, Dad. I'm fine." I assured. "

I stopped my bike at the crosswalk to let the jostling stream of students cross the road and wait for a minute to get through.

As I entered Clinton High, I saw Beverly on the areas where our bikes parks. When she saw me she waved her hand and smiled, her almond-shaped brown eyes crinkling up at the corners.

"Hey, Bill." She greeted. "You're early today huh!"

"Yeah. Well I guess I just woke up early this morning." I said and laughed.

"You're funny." She laughed. "Come on, let's go find the others."

I nodded and follow her back. We went to the library, hoping to see them there but we failed.

"Where do you think they went?" She asked.

I gave her a long, thoughtful look.

"I guess they are on some benches." I answered and quickly and walked away.

My mouth gapes open when we saw Ben, bleeding. We walk to their direction seeing Eddie, Stanley, Mike, and Richie helping him to stop the bleeding. It looks like he was beaten by some bullies and I know who would do such things like it. It's Belch's.

Ben is a short guy whose chubby body. A smart guy that you could always see on the library. But aside from that, he is a true friend of ours.

"What happened to Ben?" Beverly asked worriedly. "Are you okay Ben?"

"I'm fine." He say. "I think Belch and his friends are so angry to us after what happened yesterday."

"Yeah, and we need to take action. I think I'm gonna explode with a heat!" Eddie exclaimed.

I sighed, "Let's take you to the clinic."
