They say, “Breaking a coconut by punching is much easier than breaking it by squeezing it.”

The skull can take about 2100lbs of force to crack and considering the speed and how hard a punch can be threw. Punching a human skull with one punch is actually possible.

The science of fighting always astonished me but I never listened to those shows on the T.V, so that is why when I was hitting the skull of one of the young thugs, I did not know I was possibly killing them, but who really gives a fuck.

One of the young thugs shouted at me “Ey, remember us? So yeah, give us your money now, fuck tard!”

I did not really understand why they were so wanting with the money in my wallet. I did not really had that much. In my recollection, I think I only had 20 bucks, but whatever.

I replied to him with “No, Sorry you must have wrong person, I’ll be on my way now. “

As I tried to walk pass them, they quickly surrounded me. I was like “fucking hell, what a hassle”

“Hmm, don’t be a smart ass! You’re outnumbered here, if I was you, I shouldn’t do anything stupid”

The youngster thug said to me.

That must be the leader of the gang, he looks ok for a student, my description of him would be, and it looked like he knew martial arts and knew how to fight. He had nice build, skinny a little taller than I did.

I was not really listening to the leader of the gang, because my mind was occupied by the fact that I did not really give a shit about them.

*************

In the shadows a group of young adults, true gangsters, they looked like there from some real gang who does real crime and shit. They had tattoos and were smoking a cigarette. They looked like one of the gangs in anime.

I must be a magnet for them, because I noticed that one of them quickly ran towards us, as he arrived near us, his crew was not that far away from him.

The person who arrived had tattoos all around his body, except his head that was bold, he looked somewhat innocent and it was funny, I could not help laughing.

“Hey, brother, what the fuck are you doing here?! Causing trouble again.”

The bold guy smacks the head of the leader of the youngsters; it seemed it was the elder brother. He was scolding the shit out of the students.

I do not really care, I just wanted to go home, open up my computer and maybe just maybe look if the girl I like is online, and if possibly if I have enough strength I could possible say “hi”.

However, I was still surround by the annoying thugs.

“Ok, uhm can I go now?” I said to them.

All of them looked at me even the real gangsters, as the bold guy looks at me he says.

“Is this the one you’re going to bully today? Is this the asshole you texted me about”

“Yeah big brother his the one, go teach him a lesson, break every bone his fucking body!” the leader youngster thug said.

“Whatever, I going to teach ya how to be a gangster like me,” the bold gangster said in reply.

I rolled my eyes to show signs of I did not care. As the bold guy grew closer to me. He began squint a little, as if he recognizes a familiar face or something. Then he shouted

“It’s you boss Leon! Oh shit it is the boss, “

I was amazed by how was he and his crew kneeled it was like one moment they were threatening me and the other they were kneeling for forgiveness.

“We are deeply sorry boss; I didn’t notice it was you! please take this as a token of peace” he said

The bold guy proceeded to give me his wallet the crew also did the same. I was confused as fuck with what was happening.

The youngster thug leader, did not really give a shit, he was still cocky as fuck, so he said.

“Big brother, what the fuck are you doing? This guy is your boss, I can’t accept that, No!”

He then rushed to me so he could punch me. At this moment, I was not really paying attention. My mind was like in a trance because I was thinking of what to say to the girl.

As the boy’s fists were nearing my face, my instinct quickly took hold of me, so I dodged the punch, and gave the boy an uppercut to his jaw.

The youngster leader fell,

“Fuck, I may have broken his jaw!”

I shouted, as the others watched the boy feel to the ground.

I was going to try to help the boy, but the bold guy quickly intercepted me and said.

“Please forgive my stupid brother.” The bold guy said.

Besides there wallet, they handed me a pack of cigarettes, they were in fear of what I might do to them.

I just wanted to go home,

“Can I go now?” I said.

All of the people surrounding me made a path, so I walked pass them. I could feel that they were a little bitter that I knocked out there leader, so being the kind person I am. I light a cigarette and just walked pass them. Like nothing ever happened.

*******

“We were lucky this time,” the bold guy stated as he wiped the sweat of his forehead.

“Why? Who the fuck is that guy?” one of the student youngster thug asked.

“Lower you voice! He might hear us! his Leon Cruz, one of the beasts of this town, his the boss of the sinister gang that toppled over the previous ruling gang. Don’t ever fucking get in his way, I saw him fight once, he was fighting around 40 people, and no one backed him up. Still those 40 guys he fought. Their still in the hospital and that was 2 years ago!”

*********

I was finally able to reach my house. I quickly ran towards my room, avoiding conversation.

I think it was around 8:00 already, I put my bag down and took of all of my clothes, and proceeded to take a shower, I felt sore as fuck,

I played my jam on the music player. Like some badass with his background music, they say a man has three playlists: first, is the playlists he shows to others, second the playlists he listens when no one is there, and third is the playlist you pretend to listen to, but yeah, I can never stop singing in the shower.

After I took a shower, I proceeded to wear my night clothes, then went down stairs, but I checked it first, if no one was there, once I conformed no one was there, I went to the kitchen to check if there was still food. It must have been my lucky day, because on the other days, I needed to cook my own food, but this time, there was food, I took the food upstairs to my room.

I turned my computer on and to check my mail. I may have wanted to check on the girl, to my astonishment, she was online!

Clicking the chat box, I typed “Hi” I hit enter. Food filled my stomach as I waited for the reply.

She replied to me with “HI L” my mind went blank when I saw the sad face, I thought to myself.

“Why is there a fucking sad face, what the fuck did I do? Fuuuuuucccckk”

Then I heard the browser getting a reply, it was her saying “hahahaha, sorry, that was supposed to be a smiley but I accidentally pressed the wrong button”

I thanked god for that, I thought I did something wrong again.

So we chatted and after a while, we came across the subject of taekwondo.

“I saw you this afternoon in the club rooms, I think you were sparring with someone,” she said to me.

My mind then flashbacked to that moment, “holy fucking shit, I didn’t see her there!” I said to myself

I replied to her, “oh yeah, that was my brother, we were just training for the competition next month”

“Cool, you’re going to compete next month” she replied to me.

“Yeah, we’re always competing, that’s the life of a taekwondo team member” I replied to her.

I felt somewhat guilty, because I just recently joined the taekwondo team. In addition, I really did not know that much about the sport.

We then proceeded to talk about other stuff, I finished my meal, and it was late already around 12:00. I wanted her to sleep already.

Therefore, I said to her, “you should sleep already! we still have school tomorrow.”

“Oh, you’re right, I still have a report tomorrow” she said to me

“A report? Did you finish doing it? Did I disturb you?” I replied feeling somewhat sad.

“Nah, not really I was doing it while we were chatting, don’t worry” she said.

“Ok, well. Good night” I said. I really wanted to say “sleep well; don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Something sweet like that. I do not know, I am not good at sweet-talking.

“Yeah. Good luck on your competition next month! Night” she said to me.

I felt I was forgetting something, until I suddenly remembered, I lied again,

“Fucking hell, I just lied about joining a competition; fuck me, now I really have to train”

It did not really bother me, because I wanted to impress the girl,

I promised to myself I would win that gold medal.

“I going to go for gold”

I felt extreme determination, the drive of a thousand warriors to conquer something, but I remembered it was still next months so, ”fuck that” I said to myself.

“I going to let future Leon worry about that” not knowing what will happen in this coming month, I withdrew to my bed to sleep.
