Chapter 9 - Marcus Stein (1/2)

Charlus went to school quickly so that he wouldn't miss half the class again. He reached on time this time. He went and sat down before the class started.

Class went quickly as did the next one. Lunch came quicker than Charlus expected. Charlus had paid attention in all the classes in case he would get a point in Int like had a couple of days back. Unfortunately, he was not so lucky.

Charlus was sitting alone as Milo hadn't come to school. Other than Milo, Charlus didn't socialize much. He was actually new to the area and only came for high school so he didn't know any of the students there.

Milo was the only one who had interacted with Charlus, so Charlus quickly became friends with him. Other than Milo, only one other person interacted with Charlus. This same person was walking towards Charlus.

”What happened Charlus? Where's your body guard?”

The boy who was in front of Charlus was Marcus Stein. He was the highest levelled person in Charlus' class other than Milo according to what Charlus had observed.

”Why? Missing him?”

”Stop messing around wimp! Without that bastard you wouldn't even survive a week here. And since you messed with me, I wouldn't have allowed you to stay for even a day. But you decided to hug that Milo's thigh and survived off him.”

Marcus was the school bully. He wanted to mess with Charlus they day he came to the high school. he encountered Charlus in the cafeteria on the first day. He was about to bully him but Charlus tripped and all his food had fell on Marcus.

Normally, Marcus would just beat up Charlus and go wash up. But the person Marcus liked was also in the cafeteria at the time, and she laughed at this. Marcus became very angry at Charlus for making him loose face in front of his crush.

Since that time, he wanted to make things difficult for Charlus but Milo got in the way every time. Milo was known as the best Karate expert in the entire school, and he had gone to various national tournaments. Hence no one messed with him.

Since Charlus was his friend, this protection extended him. But now that Milo wasn't there, Marcus wanted to teach Charlus a lesson.

”Aren't you afraid that Milo will teach you a lesson?”

Marcus suddenly became more angry.

”You think he leaves me? Because of you he goes after me so much.”

Charlus wasn't focused on Marcus' poor English. He was surprised that Marcus was beaten up by Milo.

”Damn Milo, why did you have to hit him? Now he is going after me.”

Charlus got ready for the fight that was about to come.

”You are going to fight? Did you look at yourself?”

Marcus punched at Charlus. The punch wasn't too quick so Charlus caught it with his hand.

”Oooh!”
