Low Lights

Chapter 5

We got on the bus, and just sat down. But, for some reason the guys didn't come on. They just walked to school. We arrived, and the bell emediatly ringed, the lessons began. "Why you so late?" Asked my friend, while he ran to me. "Bus was later than the usual, nothing that special." "Ok i guess." We walked inside, and got to the class.
After the first two lessons, we got a break. For some reason we didn't see these guys again. Why? "Hey, looks like we don't got to deal with them this time!" My friend said happily. "Gladly, because i can't see them again, or they won't leave without a brouse or something." "Wow! Calm down a bit, why are you acting like this lately?" "Huh? what do you mean?" "Why are you so violent all of the sudden?" "What? Am i?" "Yes! Well... kinda." "But... why?" I thought out loud. "Uumm... Ethan? Are you ok?" "Whu? Yeah, of course i am!" I made a nervous smile. "O-kayy?" The bell ringed once again, and we got to class.
After we got out, we emediatly sat dow at a little table. "Strange that they aren't here..." I said while grabbing my lunch out of my bag. "Why?" "Because i saw them this morning at the bus stop, but they didn't take the bus. They just walked to school, but they haven't arrived..." "Yeah, but it's better without them! After all, all they do is try to get in a fight." "You're right! I shouldn't worry about them! I just need to relax while they aren't here!" "See? Now let's just talk about something else." "Ok then." We just talked about random stuff. Once the bell rang again, we packed our bags and leaved for class.
After class, i searched for my sister and we just walked home this time, because my sister wanted to avoid contact with those guys. But we thaught wrong. Once we were almost home, we saw them walking towards us. "Oh no!" I said underneath my breath, while getting that uneasy feeling again. "Come on, bro! We better ignore them!" I didn't listen to what my sister said. Me mind was focused on one thing: attack when they hurt one of us. "Ethan?" She said to me while i stared at them,while comming closer and closer by the second. "Ethan?!" My sister started to worry, noticing i was in a trance. "HEY, KID!!" The 'boss' said while he picked up a bit more speed. "WHAT?!"
"YOU THINK YOU GOT RID OF ME?!" "I HOPED YOU'D GIVE UP BY NOW, SOCALLED BOSS!!" He looked at me, angrier then ever. But how much i tried to ignore them, i somehow couldn't. It felt as if i was on 'idle' or something. "ETHAN WE GOT TO GO!!" My sister tried desprately to get me to come with her. I tried to do so, but once again, it didn't work. "THAT WAS THE LAST DROP, BOY!!!" He wasen't the only one though. As soon as he started to charge at me, i dropped my schoolbag, and stood there. My sister backed off, trying to get me aside as well, but i cauldn't be dragged out of my possition. "Come on, then..." I whispered, while my sister just stood there, scared he would fight me untill i bled to death. And then... something in me snapped. Once he was at me, ready to give a punch, i dodged and grabbed him by the arm. "ETHAN!!" I didn't notice annything that happened in the background, even my own sister. "You. Have. Made. A. Big. Mistake...!" I said while starring into his eyes. He tried to kick me, which was on point. I let go of his arm, and backed off a bit. He once again started to charge at me. I looked up, and got ready. "BOY, YOU'RE SO DEAD!!" After he said that, i dodged his hand once again, and punched him in the head, on the part where it causes you to get knocked out. He laid there, knocked out. His 'minions' started to charge at me. I started to make a little smile. "Ethan??" My sister stood there, seeingi was going mad from the pressure. I dodged the big lump, but emediatly got hit in the ... there... I fell to the ground, but once i tried to get up, the lump hit me, over and over. My sister stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. Once i sa w the other one slowly walking to my sister, i switched. As if my brain wasen't going mad enough already. "YOU!!!" I crawled over, while trying to tackle the lump, which was still attacking me, kicking me wherever he could. I gave up, i quickly turned my head towards his leg, and bit it. "AUWWW!! WHAT THE HECK?!" Once i got the chance, i got up, and tackled him, kicking him where he kicked me the first time(...hrm...). Once the faster and less clumsy one noticed i got back up, now having blood run from my nose because of the kicking. He just grabbed his two 'friends' and got away.
That moment... was the edge of my sanity...
