The End of Phillip Kim
------------
(1st Person POV)
"Hey, Eugene, who is he?" I said while pointing my finger at an orange-haired person.
The person gaped at me with wide eyes and then stammered, " H-Hello sir. My name is R-Rowan Im. I am a friend of Eugene."
"Oh, that's fine then. No need to call me sir. You can call me Felix. We are the same age. So, you were friends with Eugene in middle school or childhood friends maybe?"
"Yes, s-, Felix. I was friends with Eugene in middle school. I had to go away to Australia for some time due to my father's business."
"Oh, nice. Australia, huh? So, you are in which class?"
"Class 1"
I think for a bit and it clicks into me," Oh, isn't that Teddy Jin's class, Eugene?"
"Yes, he is in that class."
"Hmmm. Rowan, if Teddy tries to bully you, then you can just say my name. He won't do anything. I have beaten him earlier in the semester. If anyone else also does that, then you can tell him to help you by telling him my name."
He replied with a grateful smile," O-Ok".
The bell rang, and I said to him," Then, bye!"

It was very calm these past few days. All six of us met together a lot.
We played in the poolroom, though the part-time girl there left for some reason. We also had chicken feasts together.
On a usual-like every day,
Stephen and I were sitting together with our lunch in front of us. Gray was coming toward us with Eugene.
Then suddenly, the masked guy, Phillip Kim came in front of Eugene.
Phillip and Eugene nearly collided as Phillip Kim's plate fell from his hands. He growled at Eugene and said," What the fuck? Watch it, douchebag!"
He threw his plate to Eugene and said," You take this."
This might not have been a problem if only Eugene was affected but Gray was standing behind Eugene.
The food was splashed onto Gray's clothes and the one thing I knew was that Gray hates having his clothes get soiled.
Gray glanced at his clothes and then calmly said, "Hey. Come and Clean this."
Stephen tried to go to help Gray but I stopped him and whispered in his ears," Wait for a minute, Stephen. Let's see how Gray can come from this situation. Anyway, Phillip Kim is a shit fighter so there are no worries."
Stephen hesitates for a bit but then sits back on the chair.
Phillip Kim glances at Gray and said," The fuck? Are you outta your mind?"
Eugene tried to calm down Gray.
But Phillip Kim kept on digging his grave as he said, "Hey, I am not in the mood to deal with bitches like you. Go tell your mommy to clean it up for ya."
And just like Gray to not care as he said," Didn't you hear me, You piece of shit? Clean this up."
There were a lot of murmurs behind me in the class. Most of them believed that Phillip Kim would win against that scrawny guy.
'These Fuckers, don't know shit.'
Phillip Kim swirls his tongue disgustingly on his lips as he said," I am not like you. I have walked a very different path. Do you know how many bitches I have crushed so far?"
"I have heard about you. You are the White Mamba, huh? People may know you as a person who is cunning and fights with his weapons. But I know the truth. You are nothing but an idiot who is riding on the coattails of The Falcon. Falcon must have beaten some of your enemies and prepared it for you to take care of."
"So, you bastard? Do you think you will call Falcon now? Call him, you coward. Before you can even attempt to do that, I will show you true fear..."
Gray used one of his techniques to make his enemy lower his guard. He flinched slightly enough so that the enemy thought that the person was scared and was trying to hide his fear.
Phillip Kim must have bought into this facade as I could see his courage rise as he came closer," You bastard...with that pretty face of yours...You are kinda suspicious, you know. Are you perhaps-"
Phillip Kim's monologue was interrupted by Gray smashing his elbow into the face of Phillip Kim. Blood flowed out of his nose.
Gray must have remembered when I told him that elbows are one of the hardest parts of the body.
Gray used this opportunity to the fullest as he kicked at the falling face of Phillip Kim with his right leg.
Then another kick came from his left leg which made sure that Phillip Kim won't ever try to go against Gray.
I jumped up from my table.
The two of his lackeys try to do something but a kick by me makes them collapse to the ground.
I said excitedly, " Wow! You are awesome, Gray! You looked so cool there. Isn't that right, Stephen?"
"Yeah! I didn't think that Gray could look so intimidating."
Gray blushed slightly at our praise but then he pointed at us as he said," Wait a minute. Why didn't you guys help me?"
I said while shrugging my shoulders," I just wanted to see how you would tackle this situation."
Gray stroked his chin for some time and then he said," Fair enough."
"Anyway, Gray, let's eat. Stephen and I will share it with you. Eugene, you can come too. But Pork Cutlet will be mine and mine only, you can't change that.",
Gray had whining eyes but I didn't move from my choice.
'Sorry Gray, but Pork Cutlet comes first.' I thought sagely.
--------------------
While all of us were going upstairs after eating our food, we met Ben and Alex in between.
Ben said cheerfully, "Hey! How are you guys doing?"
I said while making the motion of him lending his ears," Gray just knocked out Phillip Kim in the cafeteria! It was so good to watch that."
"Wait, really?! C'mon Gray, let's go to the rooftop, we have to talk about this together. Gerard is also on the roof."
Gray tried to say that class would be starting soon but I caught him by his collar and dragged him up the roof.
Stephen just shook his head looking at our fooling around.

In a different place,
Jared Sun met two people. One of them said, "Thanks for last time, man."
"We were hoping you would help us out this time too."
"Hmm.." Jared Sun pretended to contemplate for a bit.
One of them asked nervously," It's the same as last time, right?"
"I don't need money. I need you guys to do something for me."
This was the event that ultimately led to a bloodbath...
