Wheez!

Alex ran out of the school library like he was being chased by a ghost, his literature text book was firmly locked in his grip, well, what he saw was worse than a ghost, it was Greg and his gang, of course no one dared step on their tail.

"sorry" he yelled as he almost bumped into a group of girls heading to class, he increased his pace on sighting Greg on his tail.

Everyone who saw Greg and his gang after Alex knew Alex was in deep sh*t.

"hey watch it" They almost bumped Into a boy wearing glasses.

Alexander was a few meters away from the school canteen when he ran into an iron pole. Clang!

He collided with the floor, Greg and his gang got to him before he could get up and continue the sprint.

"Alex you're dead" he said to himself as a punch kissed his cheek from Greg. Pow!

"You done running? Jerk!" one of the boys mocked.

He gulped down saliva after groaning.

"what do you want from me? "

Pow! Greg answered his question with another punch.

Pushing his face to the left, he spat out blood, he wanted to retaliate, but deep down, he knew he couldn't take on all seven of them.

"I warned you didn't I? I warned you to stay off my girl, but you wouldn't listen, now see what Harley has got you into " Gregory spoke, a crowd of students had gathered round the scene to watch the show. Two of the boys grabbed him up by the hands and Greg drove a kick into his abdomen, Alex became furious and drove a punch into one of them, thoom! They pounced on him.

After a series of kicking and punching, they left him there, sprawling on the floor. "Next time I see you close to Harley, Imma feed you to the vultures" Greg threatened from afar.

There was an eruption of laughter and dissing from the crowd.

"Go home to mama kiddo"

"You're a loser" "He's a d*ckhead"

"why would he piss those bullies off"

The crowd dispatched slowly.

He staggered up, blood drizzling from his nose and mouth, his face was badly messed up.

"oh my God, we're so sorry about that" a feminine voice came behind him. He turned to see two girls, wearing backpacks, the first one gave him a handkerchief to wipe off the blood and the second picked up his literature text book and gave him. It was covered in blood stains, "Are you alright? "

"yeah I'm fine, thanks" he said bluntly and walked away, leaving them frozen at the spot.

Mr Benson Payne's Apartment,

North west California.

Alex walked stealthily inside the house, hoping to avoid his elder sister, Lucia Payne Ripoff.

But, he didn't succeed, there she was! In the living room, wearing a red gown, going through a magazine.

"Lucia, I should've used the back door" he thought.

"Alex what happened to you? "

She noticed the bruises on his face and neck.

"Nothing, I ran into a pole"

"you got into a fight again huh? "

She was persistent.

"wait until dad returns and I'm gonna tell him" she yelled as he ignored her and headed straight for his room.

"arch, why do you eighteen year olds find it hard to understand someone? " he complained, he always found her attitude as obnoxious..

"Tell that to mum and dad when they return" she yelled back, adjusting herself on the couch, Alex ignored her.
