Chapter 4: The Eye and The Tongue
I chose to stay in the Infirmary to watch over him. He calmly breathes in and out as he rest his wounded body.
"Dude, thanks for really helping me out there."
"Yah yah, that's the fourth time you thanked me already." I replied giggling.
"No one ever messes with Clyde and his gang in this school nor the streets. It takes balls to face a guy of his kind." He told me.
"Well, I don't actually know him and I also do not care, no one hurts my friends."
"You gonna need to watch your back though."
"Why?"
"Well he doesn't give up and leave without a fight."
"Well, I'll give him a fight of a lifetime."
"Hahaha! Don't act so brave pal, you don't know his reputation." He told me.
"Well, he doesn't know me too."
We grew closer since then.
We went from close to best friends, A duo I'd like to call, "The Eye and The Tongue." We had our own combo and mix. I serve as the "Eye", or the know-it-all. From the phrase itself, I know a lot of things that give not just I but everyone an advantage, but my levels of knowledge makes situations easier. As for Daniel, he is the "Tongue" or to be complete "The Tongue who Moved." He is the persuasive one. High charisma and appeal to people adding up his methods on words and grammar makes him a person you can't seem to say No to. If you put two of us in a group, I can say we will have a winning chance.
Weeks passed, we both aced our school works. Filled them up with A's and B+'s. We were about to go home, until a student came to our last class and announced something.
"Tomorrow Saturday, You will have a Recap class in Mathematics. That is all thank you!"
He left all of us in the room confused. Why is there a Recap class? Was there somthing he wants to teach us in? And why now, if he could have told us that hours ago.
I was filled with wonder and confusion, why so late to announce? He never announces late. I told Daniel not to go but he told me it might mean something with the incoming National Mathematics competition. I couldn't not agree, but I don't too. There is something fishy about it. I ended the day resting my back unto my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about it.
"Something bad is going to happen." I thought to myself and fell asleep.
The next day, I packed my bag, wore my blue hoodie and gray jogging pants on my black rubber shoes to school. It was quiet, too quiet. No bystanders and no janitors nor teachers anywhere. Well typically it's a Saturday anyway. I entered my class and I only see eight people including Daniel. We sat together and chatted.
"I really thought you ain't coming."
"I have to, how the hell can I say No to your persuasions?" I joked.
We both laughed until a guy in black came in the room. He wasn't our teacher.
"Everyone, I'll be teaching you for today." He said to us.
"You ain't our teacher." A classmate of mine said.
"I know..."
Then the door shuts close and locked from the outside. Something IS wrong.
"I work for someone, and seems to be, someone in your class messed with him. You know, who messes with our boss, gets messed up too." He said as he pulls out a gun out of his pocket and reloads it slow.
I know what mess I got into, and I tell you this, I know exactly what to do.
As he continue to chatter about how great they are, I "Blink" to see a realm perfect for the job. I found out that in Realm of Lost, There is a huge brick wall infront of my seat. It looks tough enough to hold a gunshot. It is place exactly between where I am seated and the guy is sitting. According to observation, He is taller than me in sitting position. If I am correct, after he pulls the trigger the bullet will go straight to my head but the opposite force acting on the fired bullet can stop the bullet by the brick wall infront of me. This has a high chance of happening, except if he is using FMJ bullets then I have to dogde it.
I went back to Reality and carefully watched him trying to time my counter. Then, he pointed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger. And as it comes to me, I quickly "Blink" to Realm of Lost, Blocking the shot. I "Blink" back to Reality and took the metal ruler on Daniel's desk and threw it to the guy, cutting a portion of the neck of the guy. Quickly, I stood and took a book on the teacher's desk, and slammed the book right on his head, bashing it down to the desk. Then I took his gun in his hand and knocked him out. He went unconscious.
Everyone was surprised, Daniel too. Then Daniel stood up on his chair, came to the door and knocked.
"Sir! The guy in black allowed me to go, can I go?"
"What go?" He answered through the door.
"Washroom sir."
"For fuck's sake, Hey Paul! Let him piss in a bottle or something."
"But this Paul guy allowed me, acting that his your boss."
"What did he say!?" He angrily replied.
As he opens the door, Daniel quickly confronted the guy by a swift kick to the genitals partnered with a door slam to the face.
Both of us were glad there were only two who came. We got our classmates out and we all escaped. The two guys escaped too.
We kept that day to ourselves. We became a little popular but it only lasted for a day.
Two days after, Daniel came to me. He asks me this...
"Dude, I noticed your eyes changed that day Clyde sent those two. I saw it turn Yellow to Brown, What the fuck was that?"
I can't believe it, someone DID notice my "Blink". I told him...
"After class, I'll tell you everything."
