Chapter 10
The next two days passed quickly. It was Friday that was the worst. It started off with his first hour, once again. Rick vowed not to wear white shirts anymore. Daryl had apparently brought a black Sharpie to school with him and was writing on the back of his shirt. He hadn't felt it at first but then, there it was, a little poking feeling. He turned around and saw Daryl reclining back in his seat, smiling at him. When he faced the front he felt the same thing again. It went on all hour. He stood up to pack his stuff when Daryl looked at him strangely, "You love Lori, huh Grimes? Weird shirt you got there." Shane laughed, "Hopefully the whole school finds out before it washes off." Daryl rolled his eyes, "You think the idiot that made that shirt put the print in un-waterproof material?" Rick couldn't believe that Daryl had written that on his shirt. The kid had serious issues.
Lunch wasn't much better. He sat down with Lori and his friends and began to enjoy the day for the first time. Daryl came walking around the table with a tray of food. Shane stuck his foot out and Daryl tripped, sending his tray of food straight into Rick's lap and lunch. Of course, Daryl had decided on soup that day. Most of Rick's lunch was not salvageable. Daryl laughed as he got up and Rick had a feeling that the kid had just pretended to trip over Shane's foot.
Shane glanced over at Rick, "Piss yourself, Grimes?" Daryl was cackling, "He saw me coming and he's like, oh shit." Merle was laughing, "How hot was that soup Daryl?" Daryl shrugged, "The lady gave it to me right off the stove. Very hot indeed. I couldn't touch it as I came down here." Rick had to agree in his mind. The soup was indeed very hot. Rick was starving but he didn't have anything, thanks to Daryl. He shook his head and prayed that maybe the soup would dry before he had to go anywhere.
After school, Rick was walking home and he heard someone yell out. He turned around to see Daryl and Shane standing over Glenn. Looks like Daryl was finally getting revenge. Rick started over as he saw Daryl go after Glenn, his fist hitting every reachable part of Glenn. Rick started running. Shane saw him coming and grabbed him, "Hey Daryl, Grimes wants a turn." Daryl didn't turn immediately; he was too busy wailing on Glenn. When he did, he was smiling slightly, "Good. But let's make him watch this first." Rick needed to get to Glenn or at least knock Daryl off. He kicked back aiming for Shane's knee and making contact. Shane grunted a bit, but kept a firm hold on Rick's arms. He moved his feet so they pinned Rick's feet to the ground. He was seriously getting sick of Shane. The kid was incredibly tough. Daryl went back to Glenn. Five minutes later Daryl nodded, satisfied. He kicked Glenn, "Go on get out of here." The injured boy made no attempt to move, so Daryl slammed his foot into him again, "I said go." Glenn got up and ran off.
As Daryl faced Rick, Rick saw nothing in Daryl's eyes except for anger and satisfaction. No remorse. Nothing that looked like Daryl was any bit at all sorry for what he'd just done. He'd just beat the shit out of Glenn for asking Maggie out and he didn't feel a thing. Shane shoved Rick at Daryl and the boy grabbed him. Next thing he knew he was slammed to the ground and Daryl knelt over him. He tried to fend off some of the blows but Daryl was mad and he was fueled by that anger. He felt every single hit. They hurt. Daryl must have gotten about five times stronger than he had been. One particularly nasty punch hit Rick in the stomach and all his air flew out of him.
Daryl backed up off him, "Come on now, Grimes. Let's do this the real way. Rick managed to get up but he knew there was no escape. Daryl glared at him as he set up and then came after him. Rick found that the kid was missing a lot more than usual, his anger getting the better of him. Rick took advantage and punched Daryl in the stomach. The boy staggered but didn't let up. Rick started to dodge around Daryl's strikes and started to take his own. Soon Daryl was losing breath and Rick felt fine. Rick stepped up and shoved Daryl to the ground and went after him. Daryl flipped him off and got right back on top. Even with the hits Rick had delivered, there was nothing stopping Daryl. The strikes rained on him again.
It seemed like forever but Daryl finally tired himself out and nodded to Shane, "Alright leave him here. Let's go." The two walked away. Rick lay there for a few minutes before he pulled himself up. He made his way home. His nose was bleeding but it wasn't broken. He felt like he'd been hit by a car. He threw himself down on his bed. He needed the rest. Tomorrow would be the water park and he couldn't miss that.
