Before I could react, I saw Achilles kick Alex's bag, which was already lying on the floor. Fury boiled within me. Without thinking, I ran toward them. When I reached Achilles, I shoved him hard, yelling,
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"And I was wondering when Nefeli would show up to protect this little kid. Took you long enough" he sneered, his smug smile burning into me with insolence.
I felt my anger morph into rage. If he kept going, I wasn't sure what I'd do.
"I saw you two suspiciously close yesterday and wanted to see just how much you care about him," Achilles said, his voice dripping with mockery. "You disappoint me... What do you even see in him? He's smaller than my fist" he added with a cruel laugh, glancing at Alex, who had just stood up.
I couldn't take it anymore. I swung at Achilles, landing a solid punch to his chest. I knew it hurt, even if just a little.
"Aren't you tired of this already?! If you want to pick a fight, fight me, not him. Got it??" I shouted, noticing a small crowd gathering around us.
"But it's fun... Look at him" Achilles said, shoving Alex hard enough to make him stumble backward. That sent me over the edge. I threw my hardest punch straight at Achilles' face, forcing his head to snap to the side. The level of fury I felt was frightening, even to me.
"If you ever touch him again--" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm and slammed me against the wall.
"If I touch him again, what?!" he shouted, his face inches from mine, as I trembled with rage. "Got a big crush on the kid, huh?" he exploded, and I could feel the weight of everyone's eyes on us.
