I was still really confused about what just happened in the class, so I went to the toilet to freshen up and recompose myself. I was sure that that was actually a panther in the corridor. It had slick black fur with piercing yellow eyes having black slits which looked like they could read your soul. It had sharp claws which where stained with a faint red colour as if it had killed a bird on the way to school. I was definitely sure I saw it.
I was so frustrated; I didn't need any other problems on my hands, but knowing my luck that was never gonna be the case. I continued to walk down the corridor looking for any sign that would indicate the presence of a panther in our school to no avail. I walked into the toilets even more fustrated than before, it was almost as if I could feel a migraine building up inside my head. I pushed the toilet door open to horrid sight that did nothing to ease my building headache. Megan was kissing Tommy! AHHHHH. Megan, my girlfriend was kissing another man.  I just stood by the door totally dumbfounded and bewildered. They didn’t stop snogging each other until they felt my presence. This was not what I expected to see when I decided to go to the toilet. It would have been okay if it was another couple, in fact it was rare for you not to see a couple kissing in the toilets. But this was Megan, MY GIRLFRIEND. She was sitting on the faucet, her legs wrapped around Tommy, staring at me as if I was the one cheating. Tommy, on the other hand, was looking towards the floor as if he was ashamed of the act. Oh, I was gonna beat his black ass till it turned white.

As if hit by a falling satellite, all the weight of my anger came crashing down on me. I was gonna blow up.
I stared cursing like a pirate, not really directing the words at anyone in particular. Megan and tommy looked on as if to say “please can you hurry up and finish so we can continue.”

‘What the hell is happening here,’ I asked in my calm voice trying not to express all anger.

I’d always been a reserved guy, I wasn’t gonna let this ruin my reputation. Maybe this was still part of Kyle’s prank, knowing him it was highly likely that he could orchestrate something as messed up as this, though this was going too far.  

‘Look baby...’ Megan started.

‘Don't you baby me; I asked a simple question, what the hell is happening HERE!’ I said shouting the last word.

‘There goes keeping my cool,’ I thought to myself. The plan was to talk in a quiet voice, make them feel stupid and have Megan come crawling back to me. Obviously, I would take her back, because despite all her crap, I really loved her.

‘Well what does it look like,’ replied Megan smirking.

‘Look dude I'm really sorry I do even know how it happened. We were talking then...’ said Tommy.

‘In the toilet. Yeah like I would believe that. I don't even need your pitiful excuses. I guess Kyle was actually right for the first time. Hmph. Just get out of my sight, I don't wanna see any of you ever again,’ I said not trying to hide my contempt for both of them.

Tommy tried to leave but Megan pulled him towards her and started kissing him passionately.

‘We're not leave till we're done with what we're doing,’ Megan said as she pulling her lips away from Tommy's.

That was it I had had enough, I could no longer hold back my anger. Rage was taking over me and I couldn't think clearly again. My vision became blurry due to the infuriating pain in my heart. I couldn't control myself, my body moved by its own using my rage and bitterness as a catalyst to set off my reaction and what would happen next. As I was about to rush for Tommy (or/and Megan), to give them a beating they would never forget, a sharp pain hit my head, like being hit by a crane, stopping me in my tracks. Then as if reacting to my pain all the water started churning making the taps vibrating wildly and the toilets started to flush by themselves. Pipes started to explode and taps shoot straight off from their basins. Soon all the water from the toilets and taps was rising to the ceiling. At this point the pain in my head had increased drastically like I was being hit rapidly by a truck. Megan and Tommy looked around them in disbelief, as for me I was in too much pain to acknowledge the fact that water was rising UP and was now forming what resembled a wave. The pain kept rising and rising until it felt like I was gonna pass out.  Then with a loud scream, all the pain subdued and the water hit Tommy and Megan in a Tidal Wave like motion (basically all the wave rose up together as one big wave and crashed down upon Megan and Tommy) ultimately destroying everything in its path and sweeping them away. But that wasn’t it, the water then started destroying everything that hadn’t been wrecked in the first wave motion in a whirlpool like current of water with Megan and Tommy being spun along with the current. Water, mixed with urine and faeces continued to spin around and around wreaking havoc with me in the epicentre unscathed. When the whirlpool had finally stopped spinning, all the water washed over the whole toilet room leaving the water level ankle high and everything wet apart from me. It left Megan and Tommy choking for air on the floor completely drenched in water, urine and faeces. The fact that I wasn’t wet and me screaming started the whole process almost made me feel like I was the one that caused this natural disaster. I also felt really tired as if I were the one that caused the mysterious wave of water. Tommy tried to scramble to his feet but kept slipping to the ground. Megan, in the other hand, was able to immediately get up and ran away screaming at the top of her voice. Finally Tommy was able to get his footing and rise up, his eyes filled with horror.

‘Who are you,’ he said in a trembling voice before running away also screaming at the top of his voice.
The answer to that I did not know; first the incident with me seeing an imaginary panther and now this. I didn't know what was happening but I knew one thing for sure, my life was never gonna be the same from here on out. For better or for worse.
