[Chapter 3]

“What the hell is going on here?” Richard shouts.

I start to explain but I’m cut off by Anna.

“Help me Richard! I just wanted to give you a letter, but Rex just suddenly assaulted me and ripped it up.”

She starts fake crying.

“What the hell?!” I continue, “You attacked me! I-“

I am pushed down, as I feel the air around me condense and my legs buckle. I try to stay standing but no avail.

I grunt under the pain, of my legs forcibly collapsing.

My eyes wander over to Richard who has extended his hand and is forcing me down.

Gravity Control.

Richard hurries to Anna who is still pretending to cry. He helps her up and she acts like she is hurt. Finally he stops the gravity assault and I slowly stand up.

“You freak! Anna is always so nice to you, yet you treat her like this?” He shouts at me.

I feel tears coming down my cheeks.

As Richard shouts I see multiple students come out of lessons and head down the stairs to the locker rooms. The first among the arriving students notice that I’ve attacked Anna and start whispering amongst themselves. They circle us chanting and hissing at me.

“I swear! I didn’t… I didn’t do anything! She attacked me!”

But of course no one believes me. Why would they? But then suddenly an idea pops into my head as I see the Janitor approaching.

“Janitor! Show me the recording of the locker rooms to prove im innocent” I weakly shout out. I feel my nose clogging up.

He grunts and takes out a small device which then projects an image of the locker rooms. But as he does that, I notice one of Anna’s friends, Patrice, flicks her hand outwards, sending small rays towards the projection. It seems Im the only one who sees this.

Before I can shout that Patrice has electrically modified the recording using her powers, everyone is silent as they see a fake recording of me pushing Anna and ripping up the letter.

Everyone gasps, even the Janitor looks at me in disgust.

“No! NO! That’s fake! She changed it!” I try to go towards Patrice, but she puts up the same damsel in distress act.

“Ge-get away from me!” She weakly says. But I see her smirk.

I feel the gravity around me increase again as I am pushed to my knees. I feel my trousers moistening as my pee flows down my legs.

I see Brad and Alex in the Crowd. They snicker and point at me.

‘Fucking pathetic’ I think.

I see two teachers walk past. One of them suddenly stops, but one of them reminds the other that it’s only me.

As all this happens around me, I just kneel there, my skin and bones burning from the gravity. I want to defend myself but I cannot. I have always been like this. Powerless. Couldn’t protect my sister and now myself.

‘Why Me?’ I think.

Suddenly I see principle Sanders approach.

He declares silence by creating subtle shockwave produced by the click of his fingers. Everyone silences.

‘Yes! Principle surely realises that this is all just BS!’ I think.

“REX! Is it true that you assaulted Miss Reigns here?” He points to Anne.

I open my mouth to respond, but feel a flow of powerful mind manipulation attack my brain. I try to resist but it’s too powerful. It causes my nerve impulses to keep my mouth shut. Someone in the crowd has silenced me!

I desperately try to respond but nothing comes out.

“If you do not respond, Rex, then I am charging you of attack Anne and therefore expulsion will be imminent.”

My forehead is sweating profusely and I am grinding my teeth desperately trying to respond. But I give up. There’s no point is there?

My mind becomes empty, as I become devoid of emotion. Until the Principle says this,

“Rex. Im really ashamed of you. Im sure your parents would be as well.”

As he says that an inextinguishable flame burnt up inside me. Raw undying fury, second to none, something that would not give mercy. Vengeful thoughts flew through my brain as I clenched my fists despite the effects I had undertaken. Everyone, everyone I had ever cared for has disappeared. Everyone, has betrayed me. Those most loyal to me have ceased to exist. No emotions could compare to the one emotion I felt now. Some say Love is the most powerful and thought provoking thought one could feel. But people who say that are goddamn liars. Every single fucking one of them. Hatred, one fuelled by experiences that could be enough for a lifetime repeatedly played through me.

The bickering, whispering and giggling carried on around me. Constantly. Non-stop.

‘This guy’s such a weirdo’

‘What a perv; attack Anna like that’

‘Fuckin hunchback’

‘Hah! Deserves it’

I heard all of them. They didn’t care? But then again. Why should they. Despite the constant force that buckled my knees, I slowly stood up to the surprise of Richard.

“SHUT UP!” I screamed as loud as I could. It broke the seal that was on my mouth. People gasped and stood silent. Even the principle was surprised.

My voice was trembling.

“All of you!” I begin, directing my eyes to everyone.

“All of you! Made me feel pain and torture that no one should ever feel in a single lifetime.” I am breathing heavily.

“But I swear… I swear on whatever fucking god there is out there. All of you who have made me subject to your hatred.”

In a contradiction, to my previous tone, I was calm when I said this,

“Those who have opposed me. Will. Pay. The pain you will experience. Will shock you.” I stop and stare at Anna. She shudders despite her confidence.

“And after I’m done with you.” I barley whisper the next part, “You will wish, that you were dead.”

Everyone is silenced.

As I pass everyone, I turn to Richard. Nearly crying I say, “Oh and Anna’s favourite food is cupcakes.”

‘Unless she fucking lied about that as well’ I thought.
