Claire was a bubbly cheerful girl. Since her parents weren’t around at the moment, the house was filled with constant laughers. I excused myself when Sebastian and Claire started staring at each other like they wanted to eat each other’s face and I wasn’t in for something X-rated.
“I’ll just be out here…if you need me, which you obviously wont” I picked a glass of water and stepped outside. It was like they were just waiting for me to leave, I quickened my pace towards my car when smooching sounds grew louder. They were really going to swallow each other’s faces at that rate.
Claire’s home was surrounded with different colorful flowers of different natures. It gave a certain cooling effect and feeling that made the area surrounding the flowers seem peaceful. Sebastian had earlier informed me that Claire’s family were florists and her mother sold them for a living. I made a note to buy some of the flowers on my way out. It was in the period of the year when the flowers were just blooming attracting numerous variegated butterflies around them. I realized that I had spent most of the time in my mansion no wonder these flowers and butterflies mesmerized me that much.
“You like what you see?” a voice broke the chain of my thoughts. I turned to look at the unexpected visitor. I scanned him for a second, he was a complete stranger. I slowly turned my eyes back at the flowers
“Very beautiful indeed” I praised with a curt smile
“You don’t seem to come from around here” The guy said
I turned to look at him seriously this time. His hair was gangly but clean. He seemed older than me but we were of the same height. His casual mode of dressing didn’t escape my eyes so I ruled that the guy was from around here.
“I came to visit a friend” I shrugged
“Claire, is it?” he pondered
I nodded my head.
The guy leaned comfortably on my car beside me with a smirk. He purposefully flexed his tattooed muscles to threaten me?
“Nice tats” I commented
“Claire’s my ex-girlfriend” the guy stated proudly. He appeared to be very happy about that fact which really made me feel like slapping him across his face. He was just her ex-boyfriend, surely. He shouldn’t even boast about that.
“That’s good” I said bluntly.
Apparently, the guy was annoyed at the plain words I just said because he came and stood just right in front of me. Did he expect me to praise him?
“You know what, shades guy” he pointed at my chest with his fingers
“Are you on something dude?” I frowned. The guy thought I was being timid, he grabbed my shirt and pulled me from my leaning position. I was rather grateful that I wore shades because the way I felt red haze cover my eyes, the guy would run out of fright.
“Am I on something? Are you asking me if I’m on something? Are you serious?” the guy chuckled then sniffed releasing me from his hold
“I’m not on something, I’m mad that you filthy rich piece of shit just bounces in this area to my ex-girlfriend’s home. You want to show off you have money? Huh?” he pushed me. My heart started to beat as an unusual feeling of tingling sensation on my arms started. I felt my arms sweat. No one has actually ever provoked me the way this guy was doing at the moment, not at home, not at school. No one has ever pushed me.
“You think your money will protect you? Get the fuck out of here” he pushed me again. Well that pretty much did it…
In a split second, my knuckles connected with a bony jaw. The collision was followed with a loud shriek and then a body being hauled some meters away. I closed the distance between us almost at the same instant and rained down punches on the guy's face. All I saw in my eyes was a red haze and nothing else. Another kind of rage and anger had filled me so much that I angrily enjoyed punching the guy's face. It was like the person had snapped some kind of a trip wire in me that could never be reconnected. I couldn't control what I was feeling at the moment, I just wanted to beat this person endlessly for pissing me off. Blood spurt out of his nose under the constant punches I rained on him making his face extremely bloodied but this only served to make me want to punch him more. His attempts of throwing me off him were negligible, he struggled until his arms started growing weaker and pale. Unfortunately for him, I couldn't stop what had gotten into me.A very loud scream brough
"Age?" one officer asked me at the police station."16"" Area of residence?"" Levia estate"" Name?"" Michael... Michael Marcus" I said relaxing my quick breathing. Until today, I have never been in a police station in my life. I was the most disciplined kid in school, I had never even be suspended or expelled. This was my first time in a government law facility and I had to admit, it wasn't as good as always depicted in the movies. Before I was taken to the interrogation room, I was first placed in a cell with a bunch of drunks and fearsome huge men. Since I was a minor, I didn't last in there for more than half an hour since it was against government laws for a minor to be held that long." Marcus?" The officer frowned " what's your dad's name?"" Dante Marcus" I answered. The officer looked at me weirdly then gave me back my shades that were taken at the front desk. Now that I saw his face clearly, he appeared to be wary of my e
"When did you get so strong?" Sebastian asked me while we were driving from the police station. I just stared at my bloodied shirt silently. Never have I ever slipped like that before, heck I've never even fought a person. Well, apart from the verbal one I have never engaged someone physically." You just kept punching the poor guy even after he begged for your forgiveness"" He did?" I asked suprisedI swear I never heard a thing apart from Claire's scream. All I saw was a red punching bag which kept struggling underneath me. His struggles were like a fuel to that strange anger I had. What was up with me exactly?" You snapped and blacked out in a way….what did he do or say?"" He pushed me and...and grabbed my shirt. I think he provoked me" not a good reason to send a person to the ICU"I push you all the time and you've never rained blows on my head" Sebastian rolled his eyes still confused. If only he knew I was even more as
1“Michael? Michael? Michael? Still sleeping this late in the morning?” I heard my dad shout from the living room. I grumbled as I covered my head with my pillow. Cant I even sleep past seven o’clock even on a weekend? And he still calls it late.“Michael?” came his loud shout again. I resisted the urge to tear the pillow apart but I then threw away my covers in annoyance.“coming” I lazily shouted as I literally dragged my legs out of my bedroom then to the grand sitting room. My shoulders hunched visibly“not again” I sighed. Dante Marcus was standing beside the door fumbling with his red tie, he just never knew how to tie them.“don’t just stand there, come help me” he frowned giving up.Why don’t you call your wife to come do it? I said inwardly as I tied it for him.I got adopted when I was still a six-month old baby, as I was told any
2I rushed to my room and opened my laptop. I immediately googled everything related to Crest blood tests. If it was a must that I undergo the blood test, then I should at least have a bit knowledge about it.According to the results that were displayed on my laptop, the tests were done every year to with the aim of monitoring if human blood would undergo mutation. Nice excuse, I scoffed to myself as I continued to read the contents. At the age of sixteen, it is believed that the blood of humans undergoes a mutation that…..., I paused as a humored smile formed on my lipsAdolescence? Is it? Because only sixteen year olds undergo that kind of ‘mutation’ as the government terms it. And it wasn’t a mutation, it is just some kind of a big leap from being a kid to adulthood that everyone undergoes when they grow up. But why the blood tests? Couldn’t they just physically observe the teenagers, I mean boobs and beards are pretty obvious.
3Sebastian’s home was located in the neighboring estate; it was a ten-minute drive. Sebastian waved at me when he saw him, he was so anxious that he had waited for me in front of his house. He was a tall guy about as tall as me with beautiful hair. His hair was thick and wavy blonde, sometimes I felt envious of his hair. Mine was just ebony brown and straight and long, like a rock type of person.“You are late; I can’t believe you actually made me wait for you for half an hour. What were you doing? Painting your toenails or something?” he fired when I pulled the car beside him. I opened the passenger seat for him while adjusting my dark shades, to cover my weird eyes.“I was sleeping like normal teenagers do, it’s your fault that you have to visit your girlfriend so early in the morning” I shrugged starting the car againAs I drove, I couldn’t help but study Sebastian through the corner of my eyes.
