First Blood

While both of them were having fun...

*Dunn*!

"Fabri!"

I hear Eve scream and see her scared face in slow motion as I fall.

She tried to grab me, but I can only see her hand reaching out in front of my eyes.

A hard and heavy object hit my back. While in the air I try to turn around to support my legs and not hit my head or back.

*pufff*

"Cohu*Shit!"

It hurt like a bitch!

I managed to get my hands on the ground and avoid the worst part of the fall. But I fell from a height of 2 meters, suddenly and my knees hit the concrete of the park.

I feel burning in my hands, a strong pain in my back and my knees are somewhat numb.

Who the fuck did this?!

"Hahaha, did you see that? It was great"

"Yes Bro! You should have seen her face scared of her as she fell"

"I want another hit of that!"

I struggled up from the floor, only to turn my head to see a group of three African-American boys. They all seemed to be high from the cigarettes in the hands of 2 of them. Besides the silly faces and stupid laughs as if they were amused by everything.

"Did you see that Tyrone, hit that fool with everything"

One of the African Americans pointed it at me. I looked down and noticed a stone the size of my fist, if he hit me in the head I could have had a cerebral hemorrhage and in the worst case I would die.

That just makes me angrier at this fucking junkie!

I approached with my burning wounds to this group. I know it's not the best idea but I don't care about that right now, I want revenge.

The guy who hit me with the rock is a darker-skinned Caucasian teenager with spiky dark blonde hair and light green eyes; he has a tribal tattoo on his left shoulder and arm that show he's worked out; his face is normal, although I am more handsome than him; He has a normal physique and wears a black muscle shirt with blue ripped pants.

"Hey Chad, it seems that he wants to confront you lol"

A teenager from this group of 3 talks to his friend, the person who hit me, now he has a name and it's Chad, I'll remember him.

By the way, this guy I'm talking about is called Tyrone, now that I have a good look at this group, they are my classmates. But these kids never come to class or pass with minimal grades. I only remember them for how noisy they are during their non-existent class attendance.

Tyrone is an African-American teenager, with dark brown eyes; ugly face in my opinion; Jamaican-style greasy black dreadlocks; a thin black mustache; He wears a gold and toothed cap, a blue T-shirt with a Cannabis leaf drawn on it, dark shorts and a Jamaican flag wristband; a necklace in the shape of a microphone sparkling with diamonds on the neck; he has a teardrop tattoo under his right eye.

It goes without saying that he is Jamaican and is into Hip-Hop or cannabis.

"Bro, show him who boss that boy with a haircut hahaha"

Another stoned teenager joined the conversation to insult me. Although I know he says it to annoy me, it is true that he needs a new haircut.

The teenager's name is Chico, he is Latino, with black hair and brown eyes, a white and blue cap pointing backwards; an ugly face for me; He wears a ring embedded in the arch of his eyebrow and a shiny, round earring in his left ear, he wears a pink t-shirt with a long collar and plain blue pants.

Boy they want to hit me again for fun, I noticed it in his eyes and his crazy laugh.

I looked at Chad who is meeting up with his friends and he came over to me.

-Come here- That's what I told him with the look.

"Little bitch, come here with daddy…Cohu*"

I pretended to be more sore and helpless, and when Chad approached, I knocked the hand away from him that he wants to grab me and hit his chin with my right fist. The blow connected because my knuckles hurt so much and he fell to the ground sitting on his ass.

"..."

"..."

The laughter of his friends was no longer heard, they had smiles but they were no longer amused, their faces show disbelief.

"Go away if you don't want me to…"

My threat didn't work because Tyrone and Chico walked up to me and grabbed my arms. I was powerless, to get away fast my legs hurt, and if I wanted to fight with 1 of them, the other would stop me first. That's how it ends…

"Hit him, Bro!"

"Show this bitch who's boss"

They encouraged Chad as he got up, wiping the blood on his broken lip.

"I'm going to enjoy it like you can't imagine hahaha"

Chad giggled like a fourth grade villain telling his plans before his plans are ruined.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you"

I was strong and tried to break free, but these junkies are stronger than me in my wounded state.

Chad's pin was heading towards my face and I could only watch, he wasn't going to close his eyes or show fear at least.

*Wow*!!

"Hah…!!"

"What the fuck…!"

"I did nothing..!"

Chad's fist missed my face because Eve jumped out of the tree and hit him in the face. He groaned in pain, I can't imagine what a flying kick to his face would feel like. But I don't feel sorry for that fool.

*huoooo*!!

Eve yelled again, using his left foot for support, he twisted her body around and delivered a perfect roundhouse kick that slammed into Tyrone's face. He falls to the ground in front of me groaning in pain.

*Watha*!!

Chico tried to explain himself and run when he saw that everything was wrong, but I grabbed his arm and Eve kicked him in the chest. Chico flew a meter and hit his back against the tree that I was sitting on before.

"Damn! What do you think you're doing to Fabricio?!!"

Eve was very angry and she kicked the boys who woke up from her daze and started running.

"Get away from Eve or I'll be back Fabricio"

Chad screamed drugged as he staggered to escape with blood on his face. Tomorrow you will have bruises.

So Chad hit me because of Eve? Looks like this guy saw us kissing before or just because we were together and he was impulsive. Since he was drugged, he used the first thing he found, which was the stone from before, to hit me.

Now I understand everything, but that doesn't mean I forgive that bastard. It's not enough for me to hit him once, I'll do it again another time.

Her threat of him? I don't care what this idiot junkie says. But I'll be careful anyway.

"Thanks Eve. I really didn't know you had those hidden abilities"

I get up from the floor with the help of Eve and I thank her for her help. She could have come down earlier but I thank her she didn't because it was a man's fight. When Chad's friends joined the fight, at that point she must have understood that it wasn't fair and she decided to intervene. She is a very considerate girl.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should apologize to you for what happened. Those guys also come to this park to rap and stuff, but I never saw them act like that"

Eve looks at me apologetically and speaks in a depressed way when she sees my injuries, feeling that it is her fault for the events that have now occurred.

"Don't worry, I came here because I wanted to see you, not to make you feel down, but to have a good time. And I certainly did, although there were some hiccups"

The truth is that I had a good time together with Eve until those guys showed up. But I am weak, very weak, I have to go to the gym and become strong. I can't let a girl protect me, I don't want to be sexist but I want to be the one to protect her.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have invited you, I only bring misfortune to those around me"

Eve has blue eyes sparkling like precious gems, now filled with water, ready to cry at any moment.

I will not forgive them! How dare those assholes make Eve cry!

"Easy, okay? You shouldn't cry Eve, I had a great time with you tonight and I'd like to see you smile. Or maybe you don't like spending time with you?"

I used my right index finger to wipe away the tears that were falling down Eve's face. But I couldn't stop them all, so I used my hands to rub her cheeks and change the shape of her face.

"Yes yes, I got it. God, you're not nice to me even when I'm down"

Eve pouts cutely like a child when she tugs on her cheeks. Although she is 5 or 7 centimeters taller than me.

"But you feel better?"

I asked her with a smile on my face, she stopped crying and that's what I wanted.

"...yes, I'm better...and I also liked being with you..."

Eve looks away and whispers the last words, thinking I won't hear her, but she makes me happy that she likes her too.

"By the way, where did you learn those skills? You are very good, you kicked those 3 asses by yourself"

Eve is tall but that skinny body doesn't seem to have any muscle. I was surprised that she was so strong.

"It's nothing really, just the basics of taekwondo. I learned it because there was a dojang near our old house in San Francisco. But I don't like to fight, I only use it for self defense. I hit Chad, it was great hehe"

Eve giggles, she seems to be remembering the time she smacked Chad on the chin and made him fall on his ass.

"Looks like you have a crush"

I tell her, wanting to see what she thinks of the matter.

"Oh! Don't even remind me, that Chad is an idiot and he already rejected him many times but he doesn't give up. He would never be with someone like him"

Eve crosses her arms and frowns in disgust as she speaks. Now I have another reason to hit that guy.

"He already left anyway. But I think he's running late."

I didn't want to leave just half an hour or a little more after arriving, but everything hurts and I want to rest.

"You're right, we better go home. Or else my sister might get worried and come looking for me"

Eve made an exaggerated expression of frustration and together we grabbed our backpacks. I should use my [Inventory] to place a couple of bandages or medicine for situations like this.

"Do you want me to help you get home? It can be dangerous with the state you're in"

Eve touches my injured knee and paints her 2 fingertips with blood.

Whoo*

"...I'm fine, you see? When I get home I'll use a little alcohol and bandages. And that's it, I just have to wait for it to heal, I'll look more macho"

I took a deep breath for a moment and gave him a "sexy" smile in my opinion. I wanted to show her that it didn't hurt, but she didn't look convinced by my words. And I don't blame her, because I'm bad at lying, the wound burns like hell.

Have you ever fallen, scraping your knees? Well, I feel twice as much pain from falling six feet. Luckily I managed to avoid the worst by landing with my hands which are relatively good.

"It's all my fault, Fabricio, I…it's better if we don't see each other again"

Eve stops looking at me with a frown and gets depressed because she thinks it's all her fault…she's a girl who looks strong but is actually very fragile. But I must be the one to take the lead or Eve will enter her own world isolated from everyone again.

She came to Summerville a couple of months ago and started classes the month before. When I met her, I greeted her, but she was very withdrawn or introverted and she just ignored me. She got a little better as the days went by and sometimes she would say hello to me. But in essence, she doesn't like to talk to people and outside of school I never saw her.

But if there is something that I have to highlight about Eve, it is that she is kind and, although shy, she has a heart of gold. That's something I like about her...do I like Eve?...if you ask me I'd say yes, but I don't know if this feeling is love or just appreciation. What I do know is that I want to be by her side and make her happy, as much as possible. But I have Diane and that would make me a bastard…I better think about it in the future, now my head is not right.

"This wasn't your fault Eve, I came here because I wanted to see you. You didn't force anything on me, even those guys are just idiots who don't deserve your concern or thoughts."

Watching a depressed Eve try to walk away with a rueful face, I catch up and hug her head-on. An amused and happy smile graces my face.

"Mmm…"

Eve hugs me and rests her head on my left shoulder as she makes a low moan of confirmation. I think she really needed someone to let her off the hook and it seems like she trusts me more now. I can't break Eve's trust when she is showing me the weak and tender side of her.

Although I only now feel the difference in our heights, Eve is 5 or 7 centimeters taller than me and she has to bend down a bit to hug me comfortably. It doesn't really feel bad so I don't complain when I feel the soft body of a pretty girl like Eve, especially the two nubs that press against my chest.

I couldn't keep my hands from sliding down her back and I squeezed hers on her nice, soft, stretchy ass. She didn't look like her pants but there's more to Eve than meets the eye.

"Ahh!!"

Eve was surprised and pushed me out of her embrace, creating a distance of 1 meter.

"That trio of idiots were wrong, you have a nice butt"

I spoke with a confident smile and loud voice, leaving Eve still shocked. I think Eve doesn't need hugs right now, instead she deserves sincere praise and physical contact will help us get closer.

…although if she doesn't trust me enough and gets mad about it, things will go wrong. But you have to take a risk sometimes to know this early. It's better to apologize for touching your friend's butt if she gets upset later than to do nothing and fail.

"Hehe, fool~♡"

Eve laughs with amusement and has a sexy look in her eyes for a moment. Then she rips out the photo I draw of her sister in the notebook and hands it to me.

"Thanks for the drawing, I will keep it well"

It seems that she likes me, or if she is angry she deserves the Oscar for best actress.

"You can do whatever you want with it. See you tomorrow at school~"

Eve has an amused smile as she turns and walks towards her house.

"See you tomorrow"

I said goodbye to Eve and started walking towards my house, after placing the drawing in my [Inventory]. Tonight was really crazy.

"Tch*"

It's kind of hard to walk on your knees in this state but I can handle it. Seeing Eve's smile at the end was worth it, I don't want her blaming herself for a trio of stoned jerks. I think the smile on my face is a bit silly. Although at first my face is normal and looks silly.
