Trinity

Chapter 5- Party Grinch

Thankfully, the first two periods were over. I walked out of class, and everyone stared, flashing their frontal teeth, whereas I felt different from them. Keziah's presence caught me by surprise as she jumped to my side, crossing her elbow in mine.

"You're sad" she said.

"It's nothing" I replied, trying not to give her a benefit of doubt, though it seemed like I couldn't lie as long as they all could read my mind.

"It's Chester, isn't it? You have so much emotion for him"

"I said it's nothing"

"You have to tell me" she smiled, and I knew what she wanted, asking even before she asked. "Do you like him?"

"Kez!" I exclaimed with bulged eyes to such question that revealed my idiocy. Who the hell asks such a question after he just got violated? Who asides from Kez?

"If you like Chester, just say. Besides, he's cute. A lot of us are in for the cute ones. And you both look cute together"

I simply nodded as we headed for the cafeteria.

Just before our entrance, I saw the red-haired boy I called out to, the day I looked for the biology lab (my first day in school). He looked the same: hands full of rings and chains on his neck dangling above his deep blue suede shirt.

"Who's he?" I asked, and Kez came close, whispering in my left ear.

"That's Maverick. Maverick Randall" she said, and I knew I've heard the name before. "He's so slick and fast, I'd say one of the fastest students in Lycan high other than Dante. But you have to be careful with him."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because he's no good company. He uses his gift for evil, and he takes things without permission"

"You mean steal?"

"Well, whatever. I didn't say so, so hush. Here he comes" Kez held me close like she feared I'd vanish in a split second.

Maverick walked towards us with a gentle smile, flashing parts of his golden teeth, which made him look a lot like a gangster.

Mother would freak out if I was intimate with him, I thought. How about I ask him out? Maybe I should ask him out and see where things go. I thought in a light shrug.

The cafeteria's door was just behind. Maverick stretched his right hand forward. He had a diamond wristwatch on the left, and his voice cracked as he said;

"Hey"

"Hey." Kez replied, shaking his hand before he reached me.

"I'm sure you've heard of me. I believe she's already given you a pro tip on the most evil boy in school didn't she?"

"Kinda" I replied "Nothing I'm sure of" then he smiled more.

"I suppose I'm the vibe everyone is lacking around here" he continued, right before everything paused as his left hand stretched towards my chest.

His eyes faced me, but I was damn sure something was about to happen. I could taste it at the tip of my tongue.

His fingers came closer to the Hecatolite, and it glowed with a radiant orange. Immediately, I felt a wave hit me from behind, and I found my left hand holding on to his right. My body turned, and soon, Maverick flew over a number of head's like he was some sort of tennis ball, just before he slid on the soft floor, halting in front of the cafeteria's door.

I snapped.

"What happened?" Kez asked, confused to see Maverick Randall on the floor.

"I don't know" I answered. But I was definitely sure I did something.
