Students rushed out of the school. They were happy that it was Friday. Groups talked about plans for the weekend. All but one group

A student with dirty blonde hair, green hoodie, black jeans, and green shoes walked with his head bowed down. He had something in his mind. He was worried, yet ready for something

"Hey! Clay! Wait up!" a voice called as the green hooded student turned after hearing his name being called. A student with a black and red hoodie ran up the male. He was shorter when next to Clay

"Are you actually gonna meet him?" the student asked. Clay stayed silent for a moment. "I have to, Darryl. I can't say no to Dave. He'll be pissed!"

Darryl gasped. Another student from behind came running to meet with Darryl and Clay. He noticed the brown haired brunette was worried. "Let me guess, he said yes to Dave," the student guessed as Darryl nodded

Clay clenched his fist and shook for a bit. He felt anger bubbling inside. He gave a glare as both friends froze at his stare

: Grayson, Darryl, you coming?

: WHAT?! TO WATCH?! YOU MUFFIN HEAD!

: I want to see it!

: GRAYSON!!

: If you don't want to, Darryl, it's fine

: It's not fair! Dave has been picking on you just because you and him are insanely popular here! He wants to be the king!

: I don't care! If he wants a fight, a fight he'll get

: Now that you said it that way, I kind of don't want to know how this will end

: Exactly, you flippin' muffin head!

Clay walked towards the school courtyard. Everyone has left the school, but not the staff from the office

Clay noticed a group of friends as he watched his rival. His pink hair flowed gracefully as he watched the taller male walk up with one hand on his backpack handle. He stopped and noticed the other people snickering

"The Blade will beat you to pieces!" a young male with bright blonde hair yelled. A student with a beanie stood silently behind as his wavy hair bang covered one eye

Dave got his nickname 'The Blade' during a fight at a bar. He is extremely good at knife combat, but he slices his enemies clean

Dave flipped out his switchblade and twirled it around his fingers. He laughed as he watched Clay place his backpack down. Grayson ran to get it and backed to where Darryl was watching from

: Clay! The 'Dream' boy that everybody loves!

: Sup, 'Blade'

: I'm glad you showed up! I honestly wasn't expecting for you to show up! I thought you were going back home and cry yourself to bed

: Why do you want to fight me?

: Well, you're you! I used to rule this school! Until you came and everyone started loving you!

: *murmuring* Are you fucking kidding me?

: What did you say?!

: Let's get this over with, Dave!

Clay and Dave drew closer. Dave swung his arm as Clay dodged it. He grabbed Dave's arm and elbowed his arm. Dave shrieked as he threw the switchblade at Clay. It sliced on his arm as he winced in pain

Both started to punch each other. They mostly blocked and none of them were able to make contact with their target. Finally, Dave kicked Clay's legs as he fell on his back. Dave got his blade and placed it on Clay's neck

Both were breathing hard as Dave drew the knife closer. Clay pushed him off. It threw Dave off guard as he rolled away from Clay

Both held each other as they tried pushing each other to the ground. Both had almost matching strength, but Dave was stronger. He pushed Clay back and slammed him onto the wall

He laughed as Clay used his knee to hit Dave's bottom jaw. Both backed away as Dave tasted blood in his mouth. Clay wiped off the blood on his neck from the cut

Both panted and heard, "HEY! YOU TWO! MY OFFICE! NOW!" They noticed the principal yell as both rivals walked towards the office

Their parents were communicating. Dave's parents were first, but for some reason, it sounded as they were trying to defend Dave and blame it on Clay. Dave had a stupid smile plastered on his face as he kept staring at Clay's emerald eyes

Dave's parents walked out and high fived their son, later glaring at Clay

Clay's parents were next. They were pissed as they heard what has happened. Clay buried his face in his hoodie. He wanted to go home and not let them know any of this happened, but his plan has backfired

Clay's parents finished as they walked out, giving Clay an angry stare. Clay sighed and walked to the vehicle with them

They arrived in a two story house. It was near a forest. Clay jumped out of the car and waited for his parents. He is 18, but he still gets punishments

: Clay, what was that?! You are better than that!

: He wanted a fight because of my appearance at the school

: Seriously?! Why didn't you tell the principal yourself?

: Because Dave's parents lied to him! I couldn't do anything!

: Clay, we are very disappointed in you!

: From now on, you will no longer go out to visit your friends

: What?! But they're my only friends!

: I'm sorry, but it's what it is

: Also, you are not returning at that school for a month. Your principal said that you'll need to continue your classes here online

: It's not fair!

: Go now, Clay!

Clay rushed upstairs and slammed his door shut. He locked himself as he jumped onto his bed and cried. He heard a meow and saw his cat rubbing its head on his face

Clay smiled, "You always make me feel better, Patches. Wanna eat?" Patches mewed and Clay served his cat food

He looked out from his balcony and sighed. He wanted to see his friends, but he couldn't go over at all, but what if they could?

Clay smiled and dialed his friends

: Hey guys!

: CLAY! What did your parents say?

: I can no longer visit you for a month

: Bummer!

: I know! Wanna play bedwars?

: I thought you hated bedwars because you-

: I KNOW! Though I need to relax

: You are not going to relax that way

: Let's do Munchy MC!

: Good idea!

Clay turned on his PC and started to join Darryl's world on Minecraft. Grayson joined and they had fun. Clay laughed to he point he wheezed

They played for a while until Clay's parents called. He said goodbye and turned off his PC. He ran downstairs and went to eat dinner

It was quiet, but later he ran back upstairs. He lied on his bed and wished there was a way to make Dave pay. He closed his eyes and thought about his time on Minecraft
