2 Thorndale? (part 2)

Before he could enter his room, he is ambushed by his not so sweet cousin Lara. "Oh cousin are you crying, do you want a friend for your Christmas." Dominic stopping and replied, " Well unlike you I don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe for every town we go to and for your 'not so much useful information' Christmas is 11 months away."

Lara who was left speechless suddenly tries to flee the argument by shutting her door. Dominic as always points the score to her "Dominic 3, Lara 1."

Dominic then coming back to his sad mood goes to his bedroom, hops on the bed and feel the surroundings and says. " All the memories of this room. You were with me for 6 months. You were the best room for the others, I will speak the truth, I won't miss you." It is said to be a ritual for him whenever they shift, no matter how many times he shifts, he never goes easy on the sarcasm. " Man I only have 5 days left."

Finally, those 5 days came to an end, he was on his way to school when he was surprised by the few boys from school who were the popular group, aka the bullies.

Well, he did know martial arts but he wouldn't brag about it. He never faced the bullies in the school but there was always some tension between them, thanks to his reputation for standing up for himself and others.

Well, he might have the opportunity to teach them a lesson, as he left the school, and they are not in school. The bullies who were Jack and Mark start taunting him.

" Well look who we have here, the orphan. What happened did this school also abandoned you." Dominic ignoring them, who was used by that lines kept walking.

" You think you are a pretty tough boy, you may have a body but hey you don't have guts to be a man. Well, run little boy, to your aunt." Well, now he started making fists from his hands on his bike handle, bringing his eyes to close, opening his ears for one more word so he can take them down.

" You will always be an orphan," said Mark. Suddenly he stopped walking and turned to them, with his face glowing red as a tomato and he held the cycle firmly making a cracking sound on the cycle handles. Suddenly he remembered the last incident 'which happened to him in his last school. about how embarrassed his aunt was.' He took a deep breath, started saying quietly.

" Solomon Grundy,

Born on a Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday,

Took ill on Thursday,

Grew worse on Friday,

Died on Saturday,

Buried on Sunday."

He kept repeating this until his nerves calmed down, his face returned to normal and his fist loosed the grip. and he said smiling, " Well I do think your friends and family would like to know how you got a black eye from a normal kid who was a nobody. I can give you the most horrifying death you wouldn't imagine and will beg me for a quick death so I would suggest you to leave now or you will go in an ambulance and wouldn't able to play in your season." Suddenly there was silence, it was so quiet that you can listen to the couple's in the house across the street arguing.

Both Mark and Jack stared at him and imagining what he said. They then came back to Earth, swallow their saliva and said together. " We will deal with you later freak." And started walking in the other direction. Dominic who was trying to look tough suddenly let goes of his inhaled breath. " Who knew I made a great Oscar nominee." He then started cycling towards his soon to be ex-home.

When he reached home, he sees two different shifters, that's weird as always, Henry and Jacob used to come for shifting.

" What happened to Henry and Jacob,... Tom is it?" He asked one of the workers. " Yes sir it is Thomas demnit, I am a rookie sir," said Tom. " Well what is with the sir, were you in the army," Dominic asked reluctantly. " Well I… I…", " he used to work at the call center," said the other worker. Dominic, confused, heads to his room for a proper goodbye to his bedroom, he always made the proper goodbye sound as a breakup.

On his way to the room, he sees Lara throwing away her 6-month-old clothes. " You know with that speed of buying clothes, we will go bankrupt and starve to death before we even reach Thorndale." Lara ignoring him as always keep throwing her clothes one by one.

Dominic reaches in front of his room door, seeing the posters on the door of James Bond. He then makes a face that he is really going to break up with a girl.

--

After 20 minutes of silence in the room.

--

Dominic comes out of his room, stands for a moment, and then sighs, and says. "Easy as pie"
