Echoes of Destiny: Awakening [2] {Edited}
Rey and his friend returned from the cafeteria.
In the classroom, students were still chatting amongst themselves.
However, when the bell signaled the start of a new period, all the students swiftly took their seats.
Sometime later, the teacher entered the classroom and began his lecture.
After several tedious lectures, at 2:00 pm, school was finally dismissed, but Rey was instructed by his math teacher to visit his cabin after school.
He bid farewell to his friends and hurried to his teacher's cabin.
Upon arriving, he knocked on the door.
"Come in, Rey, I've been waiting for you," said Sir Peter.
With a hint of nervousness, Rey entered the cabin, closed the door behind him, and sat down in the chair facing Peter.
Peter gazed into his eyes for a moment before moving to his desk, retrieving some papers, and placing them before him.
"I know your family's situation is difficult and it's affecting your performance in class. Consider this a little help from me," he said.
Rey, with tears welling up in his eyes from his teacher's kindness, accepted the papers.
"Thank you, teach. I promise to do my best and aim for a big university," Rey replied.
"You should, as you now carry the responsibility for your entire family." Peter said.
After a bit more conversation with Peter, Rey hurried to the main road to see if his friends were there. Not finding them, he assumed they had already left.
He then started for home, mindful that today marked the start of his part-time job and he couldn't afford to be late.
He dashed towards his house, and while running, an idea struck him. He halted in front of a road, a shortcut to his home, seldom used for reasons unknown.
He resumed his sprint with all his might, fear spurring him on, yet eager to reach home swiftly. As he crossed the road, he glanced at a dilapidated building, once a bustling factory now abandoned. Rumors of strange noises had led workers and locals to complain, forcing the owner to shut it down under public pressure. It now stood as a wasteland, a dumping ground for refuse.
Lost in thought, he was suddenly shoved, tumbling to his knees with a cry of pain. Looking up, he saw Jonny, wearing a sinister smile, flanked by his friends.
Rey scrambled to his feet, retreating from Jonny.
"Why did you push me, Jonny?" Rey demanded.
"I want you to feel the pain for making me a joke in front of everyone you brat." said Jonny.
He signaled his friends to detain Rey and instructed others to snatch his bag.
His friends promptly obeyed, pouncing on Rey to apprehend him and seize his bag.
Rey resisted for a while but was ultimately overpowered and captured, and his bag was taken by Jonny's henchmen.
He still struggles but was still under their arms and lost all faith in releasing himself.
Jonny asked his friend to empty his bag and put the empty bag on his face.
But before he could start beating him, he saw a book named 'Study guide by Peter'.
Jonny laughed a little by seeing this and asked his friend to raise the bag from Rey head.
"You know I found a better way to hurt before beating you up so let's throw away this precious book of yours to show my generosity toward you, a kid without his father."
After hearing this Rey eyes start turning some light red and by seeing this Jonny laughed more.
"I warn you don't talk about my father by your dirty dog mouth. It will make their name dirty." said Rey angrily.
Upon hearing this, Jonny's anger intensified. He glanced around, noticed the abandoned factory building, and allowed a slight smile before walking towards it. Once there, he turned to Rey and, with all his might, hurled the guide inside.
"Now, let me offer you some advice about your brain and body, you moronic fool."
He then signaled his friends to cover the man's head with the bag once more and encircle him.
