The sudden hit was enough to make René stumble back in dizziness as he loosened the grip around Fabien's collar. Max took the chance to run away from the two boys who cornered him as the Attention suddenly turned to René. He ran to Fabian and grabbed his arm again to run away from the dead end. If they stayed there any longer, they surely would be dead meat by now.
He also saw the other boys who almost caught up with them but they only watched them running again over another street.
René shook his head as his vision got restored again but the dizzy feeling was still there. He looked sternly in the direction of Fabien and Max as he gritted his teeth.
After a long whirl from left to right, Fabien and Max were finally out of their reach. They fell back on the park bench as they heavily gasped for air. Max glanced back to see if they followed them but the only thing he saw was an old lady with a dog walking down the park. He smirked as he turned back to his friend who was gasping deeply.
"We finally got rid of their asses. Did you see Renés face? That's the best thing I encountered in my life.", Max said, laughing his butt off. He patted Fabien's shoulder in amusement.
"Yeah. Some things never change. He still has a grudge against me even though I didn't do anything. Again.", Fabien said, narrowing his brows in irritation. The things René said to his face didn't sound plausible one bit. Max looked at him with amused eyes.
"A lot of guys were having grudges against you after Christine confessed to you. She was very popular in middle school.", he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Fabien narrowed his brows at this comment as he looked back on the wide meadow of the park.
"I didn't know that. But I'm sadder that she paid for our ice creams but we didn't even return the favor. Kind of a shame.", he said, disappointed. He leaned against the bench as Christine's face popped up in his head. I hope to god René doesn't do anything to her. René was already known for being physical with Christine in middle school and he didn't change much from back then. Right?
Max noticed a familiar wagon at the park.
"Be right back.", Max suddenly exclaimed, getting up from the bench. Fabien made a confused expression as he watched his friend walking up to the white-colored wagon. It also looked colorful and looked like they were selling something in it.
After a while, Max quickly walked back to Fabien's side with a grin as he held two ice creams in his hands.
"I thought you didn't have enough money.", Fabien said, taking the lemon-flavored ice cream. Max sighed while falling back on his seat.
"What? These are really cheap.. My broke ass can't afford a fancy one but for sure a normal one.", he said. Fabien smirked as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Fair enough.", he exclaimed.
There was a long silence between them as they sat under the bright sun. They looked over to the people who enjoyed their walk in the park with laughter. Fabien could hear the birds chirping in the sky as he felt the bright sunshine on his skin. His heart rate calmed down with every second as his mind was blanked out from René and the rest. For some strange reason... He couldn't remember being this calm after a long time.
"That was fun! Even though we could've been seriously hurt right there..", Max suddenly exclaimed, pulling Fabien out of his daydream.
"It wasn't the first time you did something like that. Seriously... I always ask myself how you have that much power to go piss them off each time. I remember that you did the same in middle school.", he continued, a wide grin formed on his face. Fabien couldn't help but smile.
