Chapter 28 - Human too (2)

"Idiot, she is human!" Mr. Kooper said.

"WHAT!!!" Clive exclaimed.

"Of course, you idiot. What did you expect?" Mr. Kopper smacked him over his head again. "Is that how mother taught us to treat woman, huh, you hooligan," He shouted and smacked him again.

A barrage of attacks followed. Reya watched this from her mother's embrace. 'Beat him harder, Mr. Kooper. Yes, punch him just like that,' she mentally cheered as she watched him get beat up.

"Bro, I didn't know okay! I thought she was one of the alien species," Clive shouted, shielding his head with his a notepad.

"Alien!! How does she look alien you dimwit," Mr. Kooper shouted and pinched his ears.

"OWW please let go. It hurts. Brother~" Clive screamed, rolling on the floor.

"Of course it should," He said and nabbed him on the stomach.

"Mommyy….," the bearded man cried.

Her mother held her close and caressed her cheeks.

"Mark, what is this? Is he really your brother?" Her mother seethed.

"Sadly, yes," he whispered. "Don't worry; I will punish him for what he did,"

"I don't regret it though," the guy whispered, pulling his ragged coat closer.

How dare he say that he doesn't regret. For the first time in her eighteen years of lifetime, she was humiliated like this. Reya did not want to let this go.

"You… I will kill you," she shouted.

She raged and rushed towards him, but her mother held her closer and hugged her.

"Reya, Calm down. Shh shh it's okay," she whispered, patting her back softly.

Reya felt her anger melt away at her gentle touch. Taking a deep breath, she glanced at her offender. He was presently lying on the ground with his notepad protecting his face.

He stealthily peeked out of his paper shield. "Brother, don't damage my handsome face," eth guy whispered.

"You… you still haven't learnt your lesson, wait.." Mr.Kooper raged and went searching for a stick on the nearby table.

"Those are my precious research.. Don't touch anyt..." but before he could finish his sentence Mr. Kooper had knocked down a small black device.

"NO, that's my precious recorder." Clive shouted and jumped over to catch it.

But it was too late. The moment it came into contact with the floor, the recorder shattered into pieces.

"NOO!!!!," Clive cried, hugging the shattered device to his chest. "My baby!!!" he sobbed, huddling near the table.

Mr. Kooper held his shoulder and shook him a bit. "Come on, it's just a recorder. I'll buy you a new one," he whispered with a guilty smile.

"It's not possible. I recorded all my instances with the foreign species in this," he said with a sad look.

Reya noticed the recorder was the same one he recorded all her information on.

"You.. You are still calling me a foreign species? Mr. Kooper, give him a good ass whopping," she said, rushing towards the kneeling guy.

Mr. Kooper held her raging form away from his brother and whispered, "Reya let me try talking to him. He might have….. he might have gone crazy with his research,"

"Definitely! He is definitely crazy," she screamed and walked away.

"You are the crazy one here. You still think you are human, didn't you see that you can run faster than light, how can you explain that?" he said. she could also feel him glaring at her through his curtain of hair.

"Glare at me and ill gorge your eyes out," she threatened with her hands on her hips.

"Really? I'll see you try, Hump," he said.

His only visible feature 'His lips' sneered at her.

"Can you even 'SEE'? With all that shaggy hair, I bet you are just a little blind, no wonder you couldn't identify that I'm human," she fired back.

"Blind? My eyesight is 10/10. Nothing goes missing from this eagle vision," He said with a snicker.

"Your eagle vision be darned, I bet you have the shaggy dog vision," she pulled her hair in front and impersonated him.

"You... you are the dog," He seethed.

His breathing was quite fast and his chest was moving up and down.

"See, you are also seething like one," she said, pointing to his panting chest.

"Okay kids enough," Mr. Kooper got in the middle of them and held them at arm's length.

"Mr. Kooper I'm the teenager here. He's a grown adult behaving like a child, which is even worse," she said pointing to his shaggy curly hair.

Poor Mr. Kooper held his head and whispered, "Reya, he is just nineteen,"

"WHAT!! That's not possible." she whispered, gazing at Clive's facial hair.

He was towering over Mr. Kooper with his almost six foot height, his chest was burly, and by his muscular arms he seems to work out. But his beard was longer than his neck.

'How is this a teenager? Is he on steroids?' she thought as she peered up at him.
