SAVANTS
The Chapture 10

I spent the night and most of the night contemplating Tina's warning, turning it in my mind to fit her new role in my internal storyboard, his strength was strong in this one but the boy had a lot of anger. Good advice, Obi Tina.

Zed's too heavy for me to handle. Let Wolfman chew his own hatred. I underestimated her, but a part of me instinctively cringed from violent emotions like her, knowing that it could hurt. I feel uncomfortable because I once lived too close to someone who went berserk, someone from the past before I was discovered.

I know that harsh words become fists and bruises. Plus, I'm very angry with myself. I had to be the most stupid person to be obsessed with hearing Zed's voice when I was in danger. I need to get a grip and leave the whole thing about Zed well.

My good intentions were still intact as I crossed the school parking lot with Tina the next morning, until I saw the gaze I got from Zed. He stood with the other boys by the motorbike, hands folded, observing the crowd of people entering the building. When he saw me arrive.

"Disregard him" muttered Tina.

How could I? I wanted to go and slap him, but to be honest, I'm not the kind of person who has the guts to make such a fuss. I promised myself that I would leave it alone.

Come on, do it, my anger tells me.

"Excuse me for a second, Tina."

Before I knew it, I had changed course and started towards him. I was having a moment of Aretha Franklin - 'you did it for themselves' bursting into my head, giving me the blind courage to close the gap. The intention behind my angry attack must have been transmitted to the other students because I could see the head turning towards me.

"What's your problem?" Well, did I really say that?

"What?" Zed reached into his pocket and took out his glasses, put them on so I now saw myself in the reflection of the glass, his eyes. The other four boys grinned at me, waiting for Zed to slap me.

"I almost drowned yesterday thanks to you and you made it sound like it was my fault."

He looked at me silently, an intimidating tactic that almost worked.

"You're more to blame than I am for what happened on the raft and it wasn't my fault" he said calmly.

"I'm to blame?" His tone of voice was amazed that someone dared to call him like this to his face.

"I don't know anything about rafting you're an expert - be the most wrong person."

He shrugged his shoulders. "Not knowing"

I felt a tuby punch and it hurt. 'I'm not 'not nobody'. At least I'm not an arrogant person and often sneers.' Quiet, Sky, quiet . I must have developed a desire to die.

His friends howled to hear it.

"Zed, he's got you riveted" said his red-haired friend combed back, looking at me with renewed interest.

"Yes, he's something else." Zed shrugged and nodded his head into the building. "Go, BoPeep."

Gathering all the patience I could, I gripped the books to the chest and stepped into the school, Tina by my side now.

"What was that?" he was amazed, touching my forehead to see if I was having a fever.

I exhaled a breath I did not realize I was holding back. "That's me being angry. Am I convincing?"

"Eh .. some."

"That bad?"

"No, you're great!" He doesn't sound very sure. "Zed has arrived. You'd better be good at hiding when you see him coming, he won't be happy if you scold him in front of his friends."

I hid my face in my hands. "I did, right?"

"Yes, you did. He was not used to girls criticizing him - they were usually too amazed. You know she's the hottest date in Wrickenridge, right?"

"Yeah, I'm not going to date him even if he's the last man on the planet."

"Oh, you're cruel Sky"
