Hey there! Here's a new chapter of The New Guys. I hope you're liking this story as much as I do with writing it, of course. And I send my thanks to my reviewers; you know who you are. :)
The next day...
"Oh, look; there he is!"
"He's so fine!"
"Whoa! Hottie alert!"
Whispers flew around the school as the new guy walked down the hallway. Of course, he knew they were talking about him. His name was Yami, and he had lightning bolt-shaped hair in red, blonde and black. His eyes were the color of blood, and he was good-looking — catnip to girls, that is. His clothes were quite something as well. He was wearing a black T-shirt covered by a matching leather coat. Black Levis seemed to go on and on over his legs. And on his feet were cowboy boots. Black, expensive-looking ones, but cowboy boots just the same.
"He looks like a model."
"Maybe he is one."
As Yami walked down the hall, he would see a girl, raise his eyebrows and smile. And the girl would turn and look at him while walking backwards.
Then Alana, Bianca, Muffy and Loca appeared in Yami's path. They stopped in shock upon seeing him.
"Hello, ladies," he said, tipping his black cowboy hat. He kept his cool as the three bullies stared at him.
"Um, hi," said Muffy.
Bianca spoke up. "Hey, you're one of the new students. Say, your name's Yami, right?"
"Of course," Yami replied.
"Well, if your name means dark in Japanese, how come you're one of the good guys?" Bianca queried.
Keeping his cool, Yami explained, "Because I chose that path. I'm a good guy because I want to help people."
All three girls were in shock. One of the good guys? His name meant dark or darkness in Japanese, so that was pretty ironic.
Yami then smiled as he watched the trio chat amongst themselves for a moment. Then Loca rushed forward, fists at the ready. But Yami stood there calmly — without even a trace of fear in him.
He then remembered how Akasha (the title character from the 2002 film Queen of the Damned) was able to push someone away from her with a flick of her wrist.
So with that, he flicked his wrist, pushing Loca away from him. Loca landed painfully on the floor a few feet away.
Muffy looked over at Loca, then turned to Yami as he said, "You tell your girls that I'm not someone to mess with. Got it?"
Alana, Bianca and Loca nodded, a little scared.
Then Yami turned to Loca and said, "Loca, just now was a taste of what will happen if you and your girlfriends come near me again. I make it a point to go through with my threats."
She nodded before getting up and taking off, along with Bianca and Alana.
Muffy, on the other hand, chose to stay behind. Yami then gave her a wink as he walked by. She blinked, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened, and also to get her thoughts in order.
Then Joey came up to her as she turned to him. He walked over to her. He was taller than her, and easily towered over her. He reached up and lifted her chin...
