It was Steve, it was probably Steve, he is the only one who can do this to me, what have i done to this guy to deserve all this, just some days ago, i always admired him, but now he is trying to get under my skin, he is slowly eating me up from the inside like a parasite, Steve just changed automatically, i know he might be angry at me and my mum for making our way into his Dad's heart, but he has been taking things to an extent which is pissing me off, that guy is slowly loosing the respect i had for him, he has always been a rival to me because of Deborah but due to my admiration towards him, i can't do anything because i wanted to emulate him, i even wanted to be much better but now, I'm even getting mad at myself for trying to emulate such a parasite, why does he hate me so much?, i can't say that he was jealous of me, what do i have that he doesn't, he even have much more than me but yet still trying to get on my path and destroy my happiness. my decision to become as good as i can might be cut short because of Steve, i am going to speak with him and know what this is all about. " Ben! Ben!! ", i saw Deborah shaking my hand to grab my attention, i was already lost in thought because of what she just told me, i have been wondering how i came to get all this attentions today, not knowing that someone just went behind me and lied to people, the problem right now is that, everyone listen to Steve, nobody doubts whatever he told him or her because he has always been respected as a good person, but for me, i have always been the opposite when it comes to comparison with Steve, he has always been the best, while i have always been the worst. *** i will be right back***, i stood up from where i sat down beside Deborah and went to search for Steve.
I was still a distance away when i saw him hanging out with his friends, they are all in laughter, i wonder who was cracking the joke for them, i have to have a word with him, even if he was in the middle of his friends, i was about to make my way to him when someone held my hand and drew me back, this was a familiar face, very familiar but he had a bald hair, *** who are you?***, i asked, with confusion written all over my face, " really?", he asked me, i know he might be disappointed by the question that i just asked him, i would too if i was in his shoes, he looked quite skinny to me, *** i am sorry, i can't just remember you clearly, what i know is that you look quite familiar to me but i just can't remember where i got to know you from***, i said to him with a pleading voice, " hmmm, you have till dawn to remember me or else, you will be in danger", he threatened, only one person can act funny this way, *** Brian!!!***, i asked in shock, am i seeing clearly or is this just some kind of illusion, the Brian i know doesn't have bald hair or quite skinny like he is right now, *** what happened?, why the bald hair?, is there a special occasion that i am not aware of?***, i asked him this questions looking quite confused at this moment, i know Brian always acts wierd but this one is the worst of it, I loved his red hair and the way he styled it, though it wasn't my hair and i wasn't the one to decide for him the kind of hairstyle he needs, but he took me by surprise like he always does. this wasn't the best moment for us to discuss this, i think i will have to do this with him another time, but for now, i think me and Steve have a chat.
There were five of them here, they were all joking and laughing among each other, actually having a happy time but i am going to spoil that for them, how can he do this to me and my mum. *** hello Steve, we need to talk***, i said to him, looking at him angrily as if i was about to have a battle with him, he looked at me shamefully, from head to toe, then returned his gaze to my head, " have you gone out of your senses, how can a prostitute's son.....", i wasn't the type that was willing to let him blab all he wants, i gave him a hard punch to the face as i threw him to the floor, his friends attacked me and pushed me to the floor as they started kicking me. my intentions was to become a good son, who was ready and willing to get in control of his bad behavior and convert himself to good but the present shows otherwise as i was being kicked and beaten by Steve's group of friends, " let go of him", i heard Brian's scream as he attacked the boys, though Brian tried his best to fight the boys, but he later ended up on the floor like me as he was being kicked and beaten by the boys. " hey!!, everyone, stop it!!", someone barked at us as the boys stopped hitting us, it was the securities, they were all round us this time with Mr Jackson also present here with them. " everyone of you, to my office", he said and left us there, what have i gotten myself into, this was the first day of me returning back to school, but here i am about to face my past again.
