Zach was the only one clean in the room. We all stopped, and looked at Zach who was looking at us with a terrified look in his eyes. On the count of three, we all threw random food at him. Now he was all covered in food like us. We all laughed at him, and hi-five each other while he growled at us.
We all stopped laughing, but me, I couldn't stop. I was gasping for breath by now. I wiped my tears away, and before I could do anything, a tight grip formed around my elbow.
I quickly looked up to see Zach, who is furious as ever.
I rolled my eyes while I tried to pull my elbow away from him. Sadly, he didn't budge. I looked at him in the eyes to see pure rage, and somewhat; lust. "Get your hands off me, or I'll make you." I said looking into his eyes.
He was breathing heavily now, his hand tightened while I was thinking to rip his head off. He still didn't let go, the guys behind me didn't do anything, but whimper.
I know what he is doing, he's trying to get me to listen to him, big mistake there buddy. I felt my body go hot, and my animal forms wanted to rip his head off so badly. But, I'm keeping my other half a secret.
Calm down Light, all he is doing is showling off, I told myself.
I looked at him then said, "Are you sure you want to fight me, I'm not in a mood to start a fight." Zach smirked, but I can tell he was a little curious.
He shooked his head no, while I laughed at him, that got him off guard.
I grab his hand, then twisted it till he fell to the floor, wincing in pain. "You think your so strong to take a human like me, but your wrong. If you ever touch me again, I'll rip your head off, and make sure you don't wake up. DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND. ME. YOU. LITTLE- ?!" I stopped myself from yelling out 'mutt' before they notice anything odd. Without hesitation I knocked him out.
He fell to the floor with a sharp thud. I looked back to see Tim, Mike, Brandon, and Elmo took a step back, I rolled my eyes. "Sorry if I scared you guys, lets just say I hate people touching me." I said looking away from them. Ignoring their creepy stares.
"Wow, no one in my life could take out Zach like that." Mike said amused, breaking the silence.
I nodded, understanding where he was going with this as I took my seat. Tim sat next me, while everyone else sat on the other couch.
"You were a good street fighter weren't you back at the orphanage." I nodded at Tim, with a cocky smile. I saw Mike, Brandon, and Elmo had their mouths opened wide.
"Yes, I was a street fighter, and the best. I never got hurt, I was always on top. I made my own money out of it." I said thinking back when I first started it.
Lightning's POV
It has been a hard week, since Monday night, with the rogues. My wound finally healed, and it's been strange though.
Tim hasn't talked to me, even Elmo, Mike, Brandon, and of course Zach. That was until Zach proved himself.
Flashback
It was Tuesday. I was in the truck with Tim, he was telling me about the fights he been in. We were laughing all the way to school.
"I know, he was old and I had to take him out. If you were there you would be lau-." He stopped in his sentence.
I looked at him, asking if he was alright. He didn't answer me, but he nodded. All the way to school, he was quiet. We made it to school, and he got out of the truck fast, and ran to the doors.
