*BANG!!*

A loud strike fastens off a nearby table. "I'm done being your lackey. Go find someone else asshole, I'm nobody's personal bitch no more."

<That's what I confidently said this morning in the bathroom mirror, right before heading to my first day of second year, at High Bridge Academy. But it's not looking the way I planned it out…>

"Damien! Hurry up already, can't you hear my stomach growling?" Brenner blares out.

<Lovely, there goes my ultimate plan of school domination, But I'm already some random bullies bread shuttle. But of all the bullies in this school it had to be him.>

<Brenner Buz, who's the modern-day equivalent of those spoiled nobles you would see in your favorite books. Brenner is top of his class with high honor rolls for all required courses, furthermore, he's one of the top student-athletes, and also the current team leader of the martial arts club.>

<But to me Brenner is just a demon disguised in human skin.>

"Hurry up Damien, why are you staring at me like a fucking moron?"

"Your starting to piss me off already. It's 7 AM and you already somehow managed to ruin my whole fucking day." Brenner exclaimed.

"You're a fucking asshole, Do you think you're the shit or somethi-"

<Here he goes again, ever since my freshman year, whenever I was in school this guy would antagonize me. One day I'll for sure, land a solid punch right on his bothersome chin. But...for now, I'll hold off on that…for a little anyway>

"Hello?! Are you even listening to me asshole, just because you're the son of Professor Nolan, you suddenly think your fucking special? You're nothing but a parasite, a disposable little shit, a

"Unwanted bastards child."

<My body suddenly becomes weak, as my body temperature starts to gradually increase, reaching the point it becomes unbearable. I have been called many things.>

<A weak link, a loser, and a deadbeat. But nevertheless, none of those hollow words phased me.>

<But why…>

<Why does my heartburn to a point of exhaustion? Why does my mind continuously wander with no destination?>

[Damien has only felt these emotions once before, but dismissed them deep into his subconscious. The painful memories of his childhood in the Blackbay orphanage. As he recalls the emotions he felt the day he arrived in the orphanage, the emotions he attempted so hard to suppress.]

[Fear, he assumed.]

[But no, it was something far worse than just mere fear or anger.]

[The boundless exasperation, the unfathomable pain of betrayal he felt as he was dropped off at the orphanage 9 years prior.]

[Damein feels a sharp tear in his eyes slowly start to form, as an intense pain surfaces, drifting through his left eye. The same sharp crimson eyes his father was so fascinated by ever since Damien's youth. As a single drop of blood starts to relinquish from his left eye, a stream of blood droplets follows.]

[Damien's left eye could no longer be seen as human, with such a piercing gaze, filled with such obstinate foresighted hatred, you couldn't dare say such a thing when observed.]

[Damien turns to Brenner and gazes towards him, as Damien's stern eyes gaze solely at Brenner's own. Damien's watchful eyes filled with dark pools of undying bloodlust, as his gaze could only be described as eyes of a predator.]

[Brenner could do nothing but stand at a halt unhinged, as he was fazed with uncontrollable inhuman fear, As the failure of 'High Bridge Academy,' had just put the ace of class 2-A in a state of pure fear.]

*BANG!*

[A loud slam comes from the direction of the entrance, as a lofty man with a well-fitted attire hosted with short ashen hair steps inside.]

"Listen up and cease your meaningless chit-chat and gather to the front." The unknown professor orders.

[But before the Professor can continue his orders, he spots Brenner, as he sees him isolated notably shocked with fear. But before any conclusions are made, Damien who has finally soothed his emotions walks up towards the Professor.]

"Um Professor, may I go to the nurse please, my nose suddenly started to bleed just now." Damein asks as he avoids eye contact from the professor."

[The professor observes Damien, to see blood droplets fall into the palm of Damien's hand.]

"Sure, but make it quick, I'm about to start my introduction." Professor Haynes remarks.

"Thank you Professor I will be quick." Damien nods his head in appreciation, as he heads out the door.

[But not before Professor Haynes catches a glimpse of Damien's bloody left eye.]

"What an interesting boy you have Professor Whitecastle" The professor grins in curiosity.

[Damien frantically snatches his phone from his pockets and calls his father, as his left eye is still unceasingly bleeding. Concerned, and crying bloody tears he calls his father desperately.]
