[Your bloodlust grows]

[8 days until the next full moon]

‘For the love of God! Oi, you stupid system, don’t you have an option to turn this off?! I don’t need a freaking reminder every day I do have my own calendar, you know?!’ Gary cursed internally

With the ti, Gary’s te frustrated at the situation didn’t help, but cursing did help hiood neas at least today there was nothing in front of his door

——

As always, the weekend was over far too soon To at himself in the mirror His swollen eye had healed up but the botto him to squint a little His parents had been very concerned about the wounds, so he had made up a lie that he had helped Gary who had been accepted on the Rugby tea

‘If those two bastards would have only listened… There was no Godda by teaain, will they co the pain from last time ‘Maybe I can ask Gary to accompany me home? Or perhaps I could hide at his for a bit?’

There was a specific reason why Tom hadn’t told Gary about the incident He orried that his best friendstupid to them if he found out Now that he knew that the other was a ho could transforry wasn’t exactly the best idea, especially so close to the fullat school, Tom eventually saw Gary in the hallway Coincidentally, he came at the perfect ti in the ly, it was neither Gil nor Barry, instead it was someone that they had come to know recently

“Hey Gary I don’t knoas up with you co to the Karate club the other day That was really not cool what you did back there” Steven said “You only won because I was off guard! If it had been a real fight, don’t think it would go the same way!”

Gary didn’t even look at Steven as he was talking down on him He had too much other stuff to worry about and his et rid of his problems, which already stressed hi that Gary was bluntly ignoring hi way

“Hey, man! Do you really think you’re some hot sht? I know youout without with you!”

“Can you please just let ed past hi him off to the side Gary had been so loud that the other students ere conversing in the halls got silenced and turned around to look at the co on they started whispering and all these whispers were heard by Steven

‘They’re talking about ht! Now he’s even pushi+ngthat the other students were talking about hiht, to prove himself and make up for his loss

However, as a karateka, he couldn’t just go around and start swinging fists He needed Gary to start the fight, so he could clai Xin had annoyed hiht?” Steven asked, and at thathis classroootten his attention “I heard that she is quite the looker Tell you what, you can have Xin and in turn I’ll have your sister”

Gary turned around and started to walk up to Steven, stopping just in front of him

“Hey Steven”

“Wha-“ Before Steven could finish his sentence, he felt Gary’s hand grab the side of his head, only to slao of his head Steven’s body slid down on the floor

“Shut the fck up” Gary said
