School

' You can't keep going on like this.' A little voice held seraph on the floor longer, he could still hear their taunts, their gazes and the laughter, the joy they felt when they beat him.

He tightens his eyes, 'If I could just hold on… just a little longer. Everything is going to be okay.' Seraph then rolled to the side, another little voice assaulting his head 'You know they're right. You can't continue.' Seraph shut off his thoughts, placing his hands on his head.

Seraph got up from the floor. He walked to the kitchen, his eyes eyed the knife that was on the kitchen counter. 'Villains shouldn't win.' A thought flashed in front of his eyes, but he quickly rejected the notion. He picked up the plates.

Seraph cleaned up the mess, He did what he was told. He was going to be late to school but he didn't care. He disliked school and he also didn't want to receive a beating just for not cleaning the dishes. After cleaning the dishes he searched for his tattered backpack, he found a little note next to it and smiled. It was the note he got on his birthday this year.

" Good Luck! " There was a funny little face next to it, he placed the note in his backpack.

Seraph then left, he didn't hurry, his speed was similar to a snail. He dreaded going to school just as much he dreaded going back home. He reached the school gate after an hour, he saw that the gate was still open but didn't think much of it.

"Late again?" He heard a burly voice and immediately recognized who was speaking to him, it was the janitor of the school John, a tall middle aged skinny man with a long black beard and bald head..

"Kid, y'know if you were always on time to school. I wouldn't have to worry about you so much." John sighed, he walked into view for seraph. He held his hands behind his head.

Seraph only bowed his head and replied gloomily "S-Sorry, sir."

John patted seraph's shoulder "I've gone through the same thing that you've gone through. I've survived through it and you look tougher than me then when I was in high school." John then delivered a soft punch on seraph's shoulder which caused him to smile.

John continued "Just hang in there kid, School years gonna pass faster than you think. Oh, and also remember kid you got someone looking out for ya over here." John did little finger guns as he walked into the school. John always talked to seraph liked this, even though seraph barely talked back they both considered each other as friends.

Seraph could only smile gently, his mood significantly improved. Although his words were cliche, he still felt a little warmth in the fact that someone else cares for him. The same way his step mom and father did.

Seraph walked into the school courtyard and then walked into school. Everyone was currently in classes, so he pretty much had free range of the entire school currently but he didn't take advantage of this for himself. He only walked to his school locker to put away his things, then he walked to his classroom.

He stretched his hand out to open the door, but stopped as his hands were shaking. He felt his anxiety in his stomach. He was late before but each time he was scolded by their homeroom teacher and then he took his seat which wasn't that bad, however recently whenever he was late the homeroom teacher didn't place much effort to protect him from the bullying he received from other students.

One time he even asked the teacher privately why he did nothing only to be blown up on, on how he was disruptive in class and he only allowed the students to do this because in his own words to 'teach him a lesson'.

He didn't want to enter the classroom, he even contemplated just going to the bathroom and ditching class for a moment. However, he heard the door slide open revealing his teacher looking him straight in the eyes. "I thought I heard someone at my door." the teacher revealed a disgusted expression.

The teacher began to scold seraph in front of the class very loudly, he even slid open the door better and ordered seraph to stand right in front of the class as he scolded him. The teacher's balding head and pulsating vein on his neck frightened Seraph. To him the teacher looked like a demon but to most of the students in class who towered over this teacher no one really feared him.

Which made it all the more funny to them when they watched the weasel like teacher chew out seraph who was also taller than the teacher. It was like watching a mouse lecture an elephant. The mouse ended the scolding with "Now get to your seat and cause no more trouble in this classroom!"

Seraph nodded, he then began making his way back to his seat. On his way to his seat he saw Astrid Grand the number one beauty in the school. Any guy in the school would've been happy to have her in his class because she was not only beautiful but smart, athletic and rich. However, for seraph her, being in his class had been more of a headache and pain.

After passing, He heard students snicker at him while others simply paid no attention to him at all. Once he made his way to his seat he braced himself for humiliation. He pulled his chair out and then without looking behind him sat down.

He heard the screeching of his chair, Then he heard a chorus of laughter. The pain in his bum didn't even register because of how many times this has happened before. He was humiliated, but he found this whole entire thing very childish. He would understand if this was a one time thing, but this happened nearly every day now. How is something like this funny?

He stood up without saying a word, he looked at the teacher who was looking at him with slight displeasure "Take. your. seat!" the teacher shouted cruelly and then turned back to the chalkboard.

The first time this happened the teacher had given cruel punishments to the students who did it, however once the second, third and fourth time pulled around he just started giving punishments to seraph blaming him instead. Now that it had turned it to a daily occurrence the teacher didn't care anymore.

Seraph simply stood back up and took his seat, after class was over which was quickly since he had arrived in the middle of their lesson. His bully, Alex Sweeny. Got up and began teasing him with a group of people. Astrid only took a glance at Seraph's suffering before standing up and walking toward him.

"Enough." She looked at Alex with a look of utter disgust.

"Hm?" Alex turned his head "Princess, you always do this. We aren't doing any harm to burnt." Alex simply stuck out his tongue and grabbed seraph's shoulder suddenly.

Alex had called seraph burnt as a nickname, after people found out what his name meant people quickly began using this name to tease him. His name was foreign so were many kids in the school including Alex, but that didn't stop them from picking on him.

He forced Seraph to stand up, "Hey, tell her we aren't bothering you." However, seraph was focused on counting seconds.

He then opened his mouth and just as he opened his mouth someone shouted "Enough!" Seraph turned his gaze to the doorway and saw that it was his 'savior'. Baseball team captain and ace Kun Shi-Won.

Kun Shi-Won quickly ran up on the bullies, who in turn let go of seraph and ran out the classroom. They attempted to taunt Kun Shi-Won when they were outside the class but Kun stomped toward them once which made them flee completely.

"Thank you." Seraph bowed his head toward Shi-Won and took a seat. His mind kept on lingering away from reality; he was unconsciously shaking when he was bowing toward shun. Astrid didn't notice this at all as she looked toward Shi-Won with a pleasant smile on her face.

Seraph then took a seat, Astrid checked up on Seraph and found that he was fine. Shi-Won then took advantage of this situation and began talking to astrid who obliged.

Seraph watched the two and slightly clenched his fists, he was unwillingly.

However, his mind kept flashing back to the same event.

Naked, afraid, dozens of bruises on his body and blood flew freely down the many wounds on his face and torso. He was pitiful, he heard a cruel laughter and looked up. A bloody baseball bat still dripping with blood hungover Shi-Won shoulder, his other hand held a phone and with one tap of his finger a light flashed.

'How did my life come to this? It's his fault isn't it… yet.' Whenever he remembered those events his clenched fists tensed up and began shaking. He looked at astrid and even though she had done nothing wrong, he hated her. Her kindness is what had placed him in this situation. Her blindness had also placed her directly in someone else's hands. He didn't like it, he felt bitter.

Seraph was a pawn being used by kun just to get closer to astrid. In fact, those bullies were in fact Shi-Won best friends. Shi-Won used his best friends as a way to improve his 'popularity' . Anyone that wasn't being bullied by Shi-Won thought that he was a Handsome, Friendly, and righteous person.. However, people like Seraph knew the truth of the matter.

'Why?' Seraph could only ask himself questions in these situations, 'Why does the villain win?'

Seraph's thoughts were interrupted, The school shook and a blinding light filled the classroom. He could hear people screaming, Seraph felt the chair behind him being removed and he then felt his butt hit the hard cold grassy ground?

Before his vision recovered, he heard something loud and clear.
