14 14.

Damien pulled the guy by his collar and shoved him into the wall. They were in the corner behind the school. They had an hour before school starts.

Michael had pulled out his details easily. It was no sweat work for Michael to access the student records considering the fact that he had hacked into the school database multiple times before.

"How dare you touch him?" Damien asked. Before Devon could answer, Lucas punched across his left cheek hard.

Michael stayed behind looking at the situation, but did not interfere.

Devon spit blood oozing out of his lips and looked at Damien with a smirk.

"Why? Do you feel sad that I touched him? "Devon asked.

Damien grabbed his collar again and pulled it up.

"There, there Lover boy! I know you like him. He is not just a friend to you, is he ?" Devon let out a chuckle from his bloody mouth.

"Why do you care ? How dare you touch him?" Damien asked before he throwing out a barrage of punches to Devon's stomach.

"No one touches him other than me." Damien kept repeating.

Michael felt that this was getting out of control. He pulled Damien back .

"You are the reason he is hurt. And I will hurt him again, if that makes you miserable."

Damien lunged across to hit him but Michael intervened and asked Damien to stop.

He turned to Devon.

"What did he do?"

"He doesn't even remember what he did to others and he is living his life making others miserable. "

"I am sure whatever he did needs to be sorted out with him, not on some third person. " Michael said calmly, in a professional voice.

"He wouldn't even care if I go after him. I need his new toy to draw his attention and here I am." Devon said in a mocking tone.

The words angered Damien. He pushed Michael out of his way and hit Devon on the face again. Devon felt to the ground with his punch. Michael pulled back Damien and asked him to saty aside and let him deal with the matter.

Michael crouched down on the ground to meet Devon at an eye level. He looked into Devon's eyes.

The guy's eyes were cold, void of any emotions, Devon noticed, in a scary way.

"If you go after Lucas one more time, or talk about what happened here to anyone, I will make sure to put all the dirt I have on you on the school website and make sure you have nowhere to run to."

"You have got nothing on me," Devon half whispered with a smirk.

"You act up and the fire at the church and the Dam incident, will make up for headlines in the newspaper. Trust me, you do not want that." Michael said coldly.

Devon's face changed. His face turned serious. The incidents were wrapped up without anyone knowing thanks to his Dad, who was a prominent official of the State. If the news comes out, his dad would disown him and leave him to die.

"Don't!" Devon screamed. The scream wasn't high, as the pain on his stomach didn't allow him to raise his voice.

"Good." Michael said before getting up. He walked to Damien and grabbed him by the arms leading him out of the street. Damien reluctantly followed Michael still glaring at Devon.

"Hey Damien-" Devon said as he struggled to get up on his feet. Michael and Damien turned back.

"That guy Lucas doesn't like you. You are nothing more than a troublesome brat to him. He will never like a guy like you."

Before Damien could kick Devon again, Michael held his arms tightly and led him away from the street.

"He is just saying that to get on your nerves. Don't mind him." Michael reminded Damien. "We are late for school."
