My Monster episode 3 – 4
My Monster
Chapter 3
Everybody kept talking about the boy in the mask, they think he’s too ugly that’s why he wear mask, and I believe it to be true cause of the soldier said
“Don’t worry about his mask or having him disturb, he’s too ashamed of himself to crave attention” that’s the exact words of the soldier.
We are now in our first period which happens to be Biology, am a science student I aspire to be a doctor when I grow up. Some of the delinquents are with us.
Richærd, who said we should call him Richie, Amanda, Collins, the twins then Eric.
Its annoying we can’t see his face, I wonder how ugly he is. My mind was still trying to make up the monstrous face that will suit Eric when a piece of paper landed on me.
I picked it, then looked around to see who threw it, I saw Kevin smiling at me, I quickly unfolded the paper.
“Stop staring at Eric, else I will jealous”
How cute, no need getting jealous over a monster face, haven’t you hear am a s-cker for cute guys and you happen to be very cute. I smiled and looked at him, that’s a nice way to start wooing a girl.
“Miss Omeh, tell me the parts involved in homeostasis” I heard our teacher called and all amusement left me, I slowly stood, didn’t even look at Kevin, all eyes on me.
“Kidney, skin, liver and hormones” I answered, I never said I was a dimwit, she gave me a hærd stare and continued teaching, I then looked at Kevin and he mouthed sorry, I smiled and focused on the teacher since I might not be lucky next time.
The lessons continued, Kevin occasionally throw notes my way both non of them landed us in trouble and I loved it, the moment I heard my stomach rumbled I heard the bell for lunch.
“Thank God” I said and stood up, lots of students where already bursting out, my eyes caught on Eric, he was looking out through the window not bothered about going out .
“Come on Amanda let’s go am farmished” Richie said dragging Amanda with him, the twins and Collins followed they didn’t bother with the Eric, I guess he is a loner.
“Stop staring” Kevin whispered as he passed me, I smiled, I never knew am staring, maybe its because of his creepy mask. I followed behind Kevin. Maybe Amina will have something interesting to tell me about the delinquents in her class.
School went on normal, Eric changed his mask, now we can see his l-ips, really pink l-ips, now am now doubting if really his a monster, but I really have not seen him speak ever since his introduction. Our homeroom teacher did some changes in our sitting position and he is now sitting directly behind me and it gives me the creep.
“So disappointed” Amina said casting her shoulder down
“What’s wrong” I asked after I swallowed my food, we are in the canteen
“I thought with the delinquents coming things would be exciting” she said, she’s right things are still boring
“Allow me gorgeous and I will give you the excitement you so desire” Richie said interfering, he’s been on Amina since he came, it really annoy her cause she hate guys with petite body, Richie just don’t care, he’s determine on getting her.
“Can’t you just leave me alone” she said with closed teeth.
“No, can’t do” he said smiling, I smiled at the poor guys courage, it made me look around for Kevin, we have gotten really close since last week, he sometimes come to our table to eat with us, but today he is with his popular guys. I looked at him, he is just too handsome, I exhaled. I was drawned back to reality when I heard the sound of slap.
“Now some excitement” Amina said, I turned and saw Amanda slapping Kelly, Kelly is like the guy we all avoid in our school, if you ask me he looks more delinquent than the delinquents.
“You just didn’t do that” He blared at her.
“Stop me again and I will” Amanda said and walked away.
“Now thats gut” Amina said. I just nodded
“To sad the excitement is over” Amina said
“Over? Its just getting started pretty” Richie said, we all gasped as Collins stormed in, everybody knew exactly with will happen.
“Kelly should know better than touch Amanda” Richie smiled, Collins went straight to Kelly and gave him a mighty punch that knocked him down, he sat on him and delivered countless punch before Kelly’s crew came and dragged him up.
“Teach him a lesson” Kelly said with his bloody face
“Lock the cafeteria so no teacher disturbs” he said as his guys held down Collins, he is about to trash Collins.
“Do something” Amina said to Richie.
“Why me, beside Gabriel will soon enter” he said and truth fully Gabriel came with a powerful punch that made the guy let go of Collins, Michael also entered. I now remembered Gabriel saying his the one that picks fight. In that moment, The once peaceful canteen became a ring for wrestlers, the only delinquents that didn’t join the fight is Henry and Richie.
“Where is Amanda, she caused this and she is no where to be found” I said, I searched the cafeteria with my eyes for her instead I found Kevin’s cheering on the fight, boys will be boys.
“Don’t worry, she is trying to get help” Richie said,
“You mean the teachers” I asked, Richie smiled,
“We are delinquent, we break the rules, teachers can’t stop this, we need the monster to stop it” he said and I can only think of one monster, Eric. As it dawn on me we all heard a loud bang on the canteen door, it was so loud it made the fight stop. The bang came again this time louder and I was petrified, what if its a teacher and they punish us all like they normally do in my formal school.
The door bursted open on its forth bang, lo and behold the Eric, Amanda was standing behind him, he looked at the ones fighting, and walked towards them.
Chapter 4
Everyone was anticipating what he will do, its frustrating I can’t see his face to know his reaction, he reached out for his friends, whispered to them and help the fallen ones up. Everyone was watching his every step, he doesn’t look strong to me, for the fact he always wears hold makes him look like he is sick and have never leaves the class. After helping his mates up, they walked away, nobody expected that, it left Kelly’s l-ips open.
“And where do you think you’re going” Kelly finally said when he got hold of himself.
“Wouldn’t it be better if we all stop now before someone get hurt” Eric answered without looking back.
“Oh, someone is already hurt, my ego” Kelly said and dashed towards him. I looked at Eric to see if he will run or plead he just turn towards Kelly. Kelly was thrown back with his punch, as he fell, Eric kicked his stomach, so hærd that Kelly curled up and started coughing.
“Who’s next” he said looking at the petrified kellys group, though I can’t see his face but I do know he is different from the sound of his voice.
“Now the monster is out” Richie said with much excitement “and no stopping him”
Eric moved towards the crew and they all dashed at him, I thought he was mad for how can he win against 10 boys, but I was left shocked when he started crushing.
“A punch from Eric is like a hammer, you can hærdly get up”, he once trashed a junior soldier, we all avoid being punched by him.
” can’t they stop him” I asked, am already uneasy, I remember when he said to stop before someone get hurt.
“Nop, Eric is like a monster truck with no breaks, you can only get hurt if you try to stop him” Richie said, I can’t stand it anymore, soon it will go out off hand. I run toward them, don’t really know what made me, maybe cause of the fact I have been staring at Eric since he came. I have no idea how to stop him or push him so I fell on top a guy he is about to trample on.
“Stop you monster” I said and looked him straight in the eyes,it was pitch black, its as if he have stared hell straight in the eye, like worst is the only thing he have seen and will see, it made my eyes sting and tears flowed. He stood there looking at me, after a moment he stretched his hands towards me, I closed my eyes and flinched he must really be a monster for him to hit a woman. I heard a punch sound, I then opened my eyes, I saw Kevin’s hand balled into a fist, he punched Eric, what have I caused, now this monster will crush my sweet Kevin. I am beyond petrified, but the unexpected happened he just left, the monster left. So the saying is true, true love conquers all, I looked up and saw Kevin shining like a star before me.
He helped me up, and my admiration for him grew, I smiled at him and he return the gesture, he then moved to help Kelly crew stood up
“Don’t be too happy boy, it wasn’t you punch that made him walk away” Collins said to Kevin then looked at me before walking away with Amanda and rest of the delinquents.
“Now talk about excitement!” Amina scre-med and I smiled, its what she’s been waiting for, as everyone was about to get to class since its been over 10 minutes the bell rang.
“Who is responsible for what happened here” we heard the principal voice resonates the hall, I nearly pissed my p-nts.
“Eric” Kelly said with much hatred, and my heart hurts for him, but I hater myself more as my l-ips got sealed and I couldn’t defend him, not that he didn’t deserved whatever punishment, but he alone wasn’t the cause, actually he was the victims, a strong victim.
“Now everyone go back to class, fetch me Eric” he said the last part to the teacher beside him and Ieft, I can’t imagine the punishment Eric will take.
It took a while before all the student cleared the canteen, I was the last with Kevin since we took our time chatting, we kept walking like lovers, though not holding hands but our hands brush each other occasionally and it sends jolts of electricity.
He kept telling me sweet words and its easy to see my blush since am fair,
“The first time you came in, I was like wow, today I’ve seen an angel” he said and I smiled “I know this is a lame pick up line, but did it hurt when you fell from heaven” I laughed
“Yea its lame, but with you its all rom-ntic” I said and he gave me the cutest pout. I smiled and looked up, I froze as I saw Eric walking towards us with a teacher, even with his mask I can sense his face is devoid of any emotion.
I stood still as he passed, not glancing our way like we are invisible, I don’t know why that hurts.
After passing Eric through the hallway, my day got worse, and he didn’t return to class, I got more pissed. I kept looking around trying to find him but didn’t, I went home being sad.
