FIRST DAY AT MAPPLE HIGH PART II

  The human nature always failed to comprehend the weight of the situation. We always want to become superior. Tyler and His friends were getting ready take revenge for what happened yesterday. They failed to realize what was coming.

  As soon as the session ended, Margaret left the room without looking back. The other students also exited the room. Liam stood up and preparing to leave as well. Then he suddenly noticed the guy who had been watching him throughout the session. The guy approached Liam. Liam attempted to walk past him but was stopped.

  "Hey mate. Tyler is waiting for you at the ground. He asked me to bring you there.”

  Liam tried to avoid eye contact with him.

  “Sorry mate. I don’t know any Tyler. If you could just excuse me…”

  Liam attempted to walk past him but the guy blocked his path. Liam gave him a slight shoulder bump and continued on his way. The guy glanced back at Liam. But Liam left the room as quickly as he could.

  As soon as Liam exited the room then he noticed a guy walking toward him from the right. Liam ignored him and turned left. All the other students were engrossed in their own worlds and didn’t notice Liam at all. Then Liam saw two more guys approaching him. His eyes searched for an escape route but he couldn’t find one. Eventually he spotted a corridor leading to the locker room and ran toward it. As he walked through the corridor he found himself in the middle of an open ground. The boys' locker room was connected to the playing field via the corridor.

  Tyler and his friends were waiting on the ground. Liam reached the ground looked backed and saw two of Tyler’s friend blocking the corridor. Liam stopped and started huffing.

  “F**k. huf huf huf”

  Liam turned to flee, but two of Tyler's friends were already present on the corridor. Liam didn’t have a much of choice. Liam muttered under his breath.

  “Looks like I have got no choice”.

  Two of the Tyler’s friend grabbed Liam’s arm and pushed him to walk to Tyler’s.

  Tyler and his friends shot a death stare at Liam, as if they were about to rip him apart. Two guys released Liam as they stepped in front of Tyler. Liam stood there, his face devoid of expression. He realized that it all related to yesterday’s incident. The guy in front of him was attempting to establish himself as the leader of the pack.

  “You ran off yesterday. What are you going to do now boy”

  Tyler asked with a loud voice with a constant stare. Liam tried to reason with Tyler

  “"Look, friend. Yesterday I didn’t hear anything. It was an accident. Please let me go."”

  Tyler wasn't convinced at all.

  “Trying to get out bay talking it out, Bastard”

  Liam raised both hands slightly and attempted to reason once again.

  “"I don’t even know you all. Why would I want anything to do with you? Just let me go this time. I’ll be staying 10 meters away from everyone."

  Tyler's face turned red as he remembered all the humiliation from yesterday. He recalled Margaret’s face. “First eavesdropping between two lovers and now trying to get out “

  Tyler spoke those words while clenching his fist. Liam understood the whole situation. Tyler lied to his friend, claiming he and the girl were together. Because of Liam's intervention, Margaret is now angry with Tyler.

  “I get it friend. I totally get it. Trust it. I’ll pretend that nothing happened yesterday. I even forgot that girl’s face already”

  Liam was hinting that he wouldn’t tell anyone about the incident, but Tyler was such a thickhead that he didn’t realize it. Liam’s words only made him angrier.

  “You dare to speak about her insolent boy”

  Liam clenched his teeth and folded his fingers to punch. He didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Liam could knock everyone out with ease since he was a werewolf, but he kept his promise to his grandfather. He looked up at the sky and breathed out.

  “I really don’t want any fights on my first days of college. My grandpa would be so mad. I am sorry for yester………………….”

  A punch landed on Liam's face. Tyler became so angry that he couldn’t listen to Liam anymore. What infuriated him further was the absence of fear in Liam’s eyes. The punch hit Liam’s teeth, causing him to bleed. Liam touched his lip with his left hand and felt the blood.

  “How are you still standing there after talking a hit from Tyler”

  "The guy with blonde hair spoke. Liam wiped the blood away with his thumb and spat out what had gotten in his mouth. Liam said very politely.

  “Now that I bleed and you've just shown me how strong you are. Why don’t we end this and you let me go”

  Tyler always believed he was the strongest in his group. However, when Liam didn’t flinch after taking his punch, Tyler became even angrier..

  “Are trying to mock us? Or you are showing us how tough you are by not reacting”

  Tyler tried to involve the group as well. Liam looked annoyed

  “I really hate this guy. Don’t take it far. It’s one against eleven anyway”

  A punch was about to land on Liam’s again but he dogged. All the guys were shocked.

  “Oops”

  Liam’s reflexes were high so does his muscle memory. Tyler took two steps forward to throw another punch, but this time Liam dodged once more. Tyler's eyes turned red with anger

  “Bastard. You think you can outmatch all of us with that attitude of yours?"

  Tyler’s went for a punch again for the fourth time, but this time he aimed for the lower stomach, figuring that Liam couldn’t dodge this. He couldn't lower himself to that level.

  All of this commotion was being observed by Margaret’s group from the building. They watched through the window.

  “Boys!!!!!!!!!! All they know is how to throw a punch!"”

  The girl with red hair said

  “And how to dodge a punch too”

  Margaret muttered while observed through the large window on the second floor of the building.

  “Hey Lily. Who is the other guy also watching the fight as well”

  The girl with red hair noticed a guy watching the fight as well. He was standing near the gallery. Margaret didn’t pay attention to any of the girls talking; she was focused on the fight, particularly on Liam, who was about to receive a severe beating.

  Liam took a punch to the lower stomach from Tyler and cried out in pain.

  “F**K. It didn’t even hurt at all. I’ll have to put on an act”

  Tyler looked at his knuckles, now red from the rough skin of Liam. He felt a twinge of pain in his finger and realized Liam was strong; he couldn't take him on alone. Meanwhile, Liam continued to act as though he were in great pain and thinking of a way to escape the situation.

  “Looks like I have to do that again,” he muttered.

  “What did you say, bastard? It didn’t even hurt you at all. Today you’ll know what pain is,” Tyler retorted.

  Tyler signaled to his friends to attack by moving his eyes. Suddenly, one of them struck Liam from behind with a wooden stick he had been hiding. They all began to kick Liam. He covered his face with his hands and rolled onto the ground. An endless barrage of kicks landed all over his body. A few guys even kicked him in the face, but most of the blows landed on the area he was trying to shield. Only the guy with blonde hair stood back and watched. Neither was attacking Liam nor intervening.

  “I would appreciate it if you guys stopped.”

  The one who had been watching earlier stepped in, a baseball bat in hand, resting it on his shoulder. Tyler looked up, seeing that Liam was bleeding all over.

  “Why are you here, bastard?”

  Tyler shouted while landing one last kick to Liam's chest. The blond guy rolled his eyes as all the others stopped at Tyler's command.

  “I think it’s enough for today. You guys don’t want to kill him, right?”

  He shot a serious look as he spoke. Tyler's expression remained Liam.

  “What if we do? Are you going to attack us with that baseball bat? It’s one against ten anyway.”

  The guy swung his bat mockingly.

  “Oh!!!!This bat? No, I just keep it to scare off animals. Fighting is prohibited at the academy.”

  Finally the guy with blonde hair stepped forward and grabbed Tyler’s arm.

  “It’s enough for today. We’ve had enough. Take your guy, Barney. We didn’t know he was your guy.”

  Tyler looked confused, but seeing how serious the blonde guy was, he didn’t ask any questions.

  “Boys, that’s enough for today.”

  At Tyler’s command, the group stepped back.

  “Looks like someone in your group knows how to think. Just so you know, he’s not my guy; I only came to help him because I felt sorry for him.”

  The blonde guy stayed quiet. Barney continued,

  “Isn’t that why you didn’t lay a hand on him, right, Eddie?”

  Eddie nodded and departed with Tyler and his group.

  Margaret watched the scene unfold, a shiver unexpectedly running down her spine.

  A male and female with black hair are walking out of the airport, both wearing jackets lined with brown fur, and they are pulling their trolleys behind them.
