My Silent Words

Chapter 6 - The boy, Roman Tykes

Alex's POV

Isaiah: See you! <Heart emoji>

I blush at his reply. He's so sweet.

And with that, my mom entered my room with a smile on her face.

“Dinner's ready. C'mon, Let's eat.” she said elegantly.

I didn't hesitate. I'm really hungry. So I ran towards her and we went downstairs to eat dinner.

After we ate, I really got tired so I haven't got a chance to bid Isaiah good night. After I arrived at the bedroom, I quickly drift off to sleep.

~°~°~°•oOo•°~°~°~

The morning went very fast than expected. Actually I didn't even know it was morning because there wasn't even a single light in my window pane.

I checked my phone and got shocked of the time.

5:00 a.m.

Man, it's so early. But it's a start. Besides, I live far from school so, the earlier I move the earlier I arrive.

Hopefully, my mom is still asleep so it's a really a chance for me to cook ourselves breakfast.

I went down the kitchen and made a pancake mix. I made a lot of it so that I'll be using that energy at school today.

As I was done cleaning, I noticed that my mom was awake. So I greeted her with one of my warmest smiles.

“Aw, how sweet of you to cook breakfast. Now leave that to me. I'll finish those. You need to hurry for school you know. And you really need a shower. Just look at yourself” she said.

Well, she's right. I really do need a shower. I look very much covered in pancake mix. But on the bright side, I look yummy.

I rushed to the bathroom and took a rather long shower and changed into some nice school clothing. When I got out, I went to the kitchen for breakfast. So I joined mom who is currently taking a sip of her coffee whilst scrolling on her facebook. And on the opposite side of her is a rather 6-stacked golden brown pancakes. I sat on my chair and ate it all up. When we were ready to go, my mom dropped me at school. And guess what, I was early.

As I scan the school area, there were only few students there. Knowing that it was only 8 o'clock in the morning and classes don't start until 9.

I walked pass a row of red lockers examining them one by one and got to a halt when I pass by a shiny red locker with a key and a note in it. I opened the note and read it silently.

Congratulations, Alexander. We present to you your very own locker.

- school management

My heart skipped a beat and a flow of happiness rushes down my veins. I never expected this. This is the best school I can ever have.

I opened my locker and placed the books that I don't need for a certain subject. After I just closed my locker, I get greeted by a red blonde haired maniac, which I assume is the great Roman Tykes. And I notice that he has a few people with him.

“Well, well, well” he greets.

I got a little worried about what he was going to do because of the grin on his face and his group.

What the hell is he going to do?

“Look who finally received a nice present.” he says sending me threat in his eyes.

Honestly, I really got scared of the expression in his eyes coz I know that he's planning something and I'm assuming it's not good. He takes several small steps towards me and I take a step back until I feel my back touch one of the lockers.

“Let's get to know each other, mute” he says leaning on my ear trying to whisper something.

“I'm Roman Tykes” he whispers, pausing for a bit. “Your worst nightmare.” my eyes widen at the last sentence as he punches me right in my stomach. Making me fall on my knees with my hands wrapped around my stomach. Then he grabs a fist full of my hair and pulls me up for me to stand then grabs the hem of my shirt then banging it to the lockers behind me several times creating a numerous metal sounds echoing in the halls. Gosh how I'd wish there is at least one person here to help me.

Great. Now this is what I get for being early at school

He smashes my head on one of the lockers making me quiver and I feel like tears are about to fall on my cheeks. He runs my head to the row of lockers and once he made it to the end, he threw me away making me lie down on the ground.

I feel blood coming out of my mouth.

After that, he grabs my hair and lifts me up making me face him with my cheek red as blood was about to flow.

“So you're the new student, eh?”

Yeah? So what?

“Being the center of attention of everyone in here” he grabs me by my neck and slowly lifting me up.

“I should be the only one receiving the most attention here. You hear me?!” he states lifting me a few inches above the ground.

I c-can't b-breathe! I thought. Well, so much for life. Now, the end has come for me.

I tried to get his hand off of me but he was too strong.

“What are you gonna do now, mute? Call for a friend? Oh wait, you can't even speak” he chuckles in an evil way, me trying to catch for breath because of his firm grip on my neck.

“Roman!” a similar voice reaches his attention. Isaiah rushes towards my direction to help me but his boys stops his tracks.

“Let him go!” he shouts, focusing on my begging green eyes.

“Only if he speaks” Roman replied.

“Let him go... I'm begging you” he calms his voice and I feel tears almost coming out from his eyes.

He takes a second glare at me before letting me go and dropping me on the ground.

“Take your little friend with you.” He states giving me a last kick in the stomach before leaving.

“Alex!” Isaiah bends down helping me up to my knees, wrapping my arms on his shoulders as we stood up.

“Let me help you. Let's go to the clinic to have you checked.” he offered, and I just go with him. I know I should have just shooked my head but I'm really not feeling well.

As we enter the clinic, the nurse immediately lays me down in a hospital bed to be checked, while she gets all her utensils for the check up.

“I'll tell our advisers that you'll be excused for what happened” he states and I just nodded. Right after that, he came running out of the room leaving me laying on the bed.

The bed is so comfy I just laid there and felt the darkness surround me.
