 Angel's POV

 One hundred and ninety eight, one hundred and ninety nine, two hundred. I jumped up on my feet and sighted heavily, then i turned around to find Vanessa standing at the entrance of the gym.
 "Hey there, good morning, didn't see you come in" I pretended not to know she has been there
 "Waow" she said, "did i misheard you or did you just finish counting two hundred press ups"
 I smiled "Oh, that was nothing".
 Actually i woke up this morning and i decided to take a look round the mansion, man this is a really cool house, its like a five star hotel, i had one of the best nights for the past five years just last night, no nightmares, no beg burgs, and the air conditioner was a blast, not to talk of the soft bed, i didn't wanted to get outta bed, but i just had to, am in a new environment with people i don't trust yet, so i gotta survey the area. I bumped into the gym, and while i was touching and looking around, i heard footsteps. Quickly i got down and pretended to be doing press ups, soon as i saw a figure walked into the gym, I started counting my push ups out loud, starting from one hundred and eighty five, crazy huh.
 I could tell she was impress.
 "So Brian, ready for a big day", She said after series of work outs. And all i did was pretend to be exhausted from two hundred press ups.
 "Whats up", I asked somewhat oblivious
 "Gregory didn't tell you anything", she seems to be surprised
 "No, nothing".
 "Ok then, am in no position to let you have it", she said as she walks towards the refrigerator for cold, refreshing can of water.
 "Have what?", my curiosity pulled me from the bench and i totally forgot i was suppose to be exhausted from two hundred push ups.
 "Relax, its not like he's having you beheaded or something". She chuckled.
 After a while of steering at each other, i was sure without an iota of doubt that fate had brought me to one of my high school..... uhmm.. friend? Not exactly.
 I had met this pretty blonde Vanessa Weather back in Spring field high. She has changed a lot, she use to be nerdy and shy and bullied by Major Lank (the captain of the school's rugby team) but now she's just the opposite.

 One day i walked up to Vanessa Weather in the library, i needed help on a math problem which Vanessa was quite good at.
 "Hi" I said.
 "How is it going" she gave a frosty reply
 "Uhm i need help on calculus".
 She kept repeating some words with her pen on a piece of paper as tears streamed down her chick, i took a closer look at what she is writing, VANESSA IS A PIG VANESSA IS A PIG VANESSA IS A PIG. Everyone knew Major always bullied Vanessa, including me, but everyone learns to mind their business and nobody wants to get on Major's bad side, i knew only him would have given her this punishment. I felt rage sprint up from my abdomen and to my throat, i fiercely took the paper from her and squeezed it in my fist.
 "What are you doing, you'll make things worst" Vanessa said with fright painted all over her countenance.
 "This ends here and now, you don't deserve any of this" I said.
 "But Major, he'll.."
 "If Major thinks he is a tough guy, instead of shamelessly bullying sweet little harmless girls, he should come pick on someone his own size", I said, cutting her off her speech. You needed to have seen the way she looked at me after i said that, she gave me this "seriously?" kinda look.
 "You mean you?" she asked.
 Now i started to feel embarrassed, Major is big and muscular i know, but i can kick his ass.
"Whats your name?", she asked giggling.
 "Angel", I replied, "Angel Howells", I added putting out my hands for a handshake, which she took. She had a refreshing smiled and i kinda liked her from that moment on. I thought we had it on, going somewhere until all the smile on her face suddenly went into hiding and was replaced with fear.
 "Oh no" she cried out. I looked back and saw Major and his gang standing behind me. I turned back at Vanessa  and she already gotten another piece of paper and continued with her little assignment. Again i took hold of it.
 "Enough" I said. She must have seen the cloud of fury in my eyes.
 "And you are?" A husky voice came from behind me.
 I turned around and looked at Major deep in his eyes as i gave him a reply "I am your nightmare, your fear, your darkness and i am the wage of all your sins".
 He punched me hard on the face, and i tasted blood, my own blood, and i knew someone was going down. I replied with a hard kick to his groin, yeah talking about taking cheap shots, i had to do it, he was with his crew and i was alone, so for me, anything goes. Major winced as he grabbed his broken balls, falling down to his knees, his companions quickly rushed towards me with kicks and punches which i totally avoided. Did i forget to mention how great i am at martial art, well i was damn good at it. I took em all out and left them wincing and crying for their mummies. I walked up to Major who has just recover from a crushed groin and good thing he was set for a man to man fight. Everyone in the library cheered me on as i knock the daylight outta Major, i gotta admit he's a really tough guy, but i guess am tougher.
 Of course after all said and done, we were all summoned to the principal's office, i was totally expelled from Spring field High, so was Major.
