Mianite: Rise of the Heroes

Chapter 6

When Jordan walked through the schools front doors he didn't expect to see as many people here as he was used to, he must have been at that park longer than he thought.

Jordan being Jordan, tried to avoid as many people as he could, heading to his safe place away from people, the only place he ever felt at home, the library.

He knew something was off when people kept staring at him, whispering to one another. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he understood what it was about. Yesterday's dilemma.

Jordan didn't realise word would spread that quickly, he hoped that they would leave him alone at least. The stares made him uncomfortable and skirmish but he could deal with it.

When he looked up he noticed Mason holding another student by the collar pressed against the lockers, near HIS locker.

Great.

Not wasting much time, he turned around, keeping his head down and walked quickly back the way he came hoping that he doesn't notice him, and with Jordan's amazing luck, he managed to escape without being noticed.

Ha.

What Jordan didn't expect was to be shoved forward hard, really hard.

It completely knocked the wind out of him, throwing his body forward with impressive speed, barely having any time to react, the force of the blow was intense, time had slowed down, he threw his hands in front of his body, protecting whatever he could from the big fall that was the beginning of something he never agreed to.

A sharp pain shot through his arms upon impact, he heard people around him look their way, some laughing at Jordan because he was shoved on the floor. He was about to get up, pushing up with his hands, but made a small sound of pain when he tried, falling back down to the floor, hitting his head, making him a little dizzy.

Without anytime to recover, Jordan felt a hand grab the back of his collar and started to dragged across the floor like an animal. He was thrown back and slammed into the lockers, making a loud BANG, gathering an even larger curious crowd around them.

"I heard that you didn't get accepted into Mianite or Dianite, I knew that that would fail, but wow I didn't realise how fast, you really must be worthless"

A few people laughed, most of them from part of his clique and some others around them. There were those who stared at Jordan in sympathy, but knew if they tried to stop it they'd be beat up too, so they watched in case something happens, and one of them had already left to find a teacher, then things started going a little too far.

"You got the worst of the worst and you deserve it, it's no wonder you parents are dead, they probably would have killed themselves knowing what their son was; pathetic."

Jordan's eyes went wide, people all around him having the same shock hit them. They never realised that Jordan was an orphan, he hid it so well, and more shock at the insults Mason three were going too far.

One of Masons friends realised that he was going to far, and tried to stop him, grabbing his shoulder as a way of saying stop, Mason just shrugged it off.

"Back off, I'm not done yet"

Jordan stayed on the floor, propped up by his elbows, feeling like he was about to cry, like he wanted to disappear. He thought being thrown on the floor hurt, but this was a hundred times worse.

Mason continued, "Maybe you should kill yourself now so you can be with your crappy family. Cause no one here loves you, and no one never will".

Normally Jordan would have shrunk down, stayed quiet so Mason wouldn't hurt him anymore.
