Midnight frowns, walking into school with the odd sense of something not feeling right.
"Long time, no see, Night!" Sasha calls jogging over to her. She wraps an arm around the shorter girl, beaming as if she held good news.
"Sasha, you're awfully friendly." Midnight lifts an eyebrow, watching the brunette beauty go thoughtful.
Sasha frowns, sighing. "Yeah, well, can you blame me? I have something to look forward to."
"Huh?" Midnight wonders, furrowing her eyebrows.
"The secret afterschool play?" Sasha lightly reminds, earning a slow nod from her.
Midnight had a hard time processing things as they were. "Yeah, Rocky is the one you should thank for that. In fact, he went to plead with my step-father to allow it to be one of public viewing."
"Wow! Your boyfriend is crazy." Sasha gains a funny look from Midnight.
"He's not my-" Midnight is cut off by chaos ensuing from the cafeteria. A loud scream fills the air, sending her into a panic attack.
Sasha looks in the direction as a bloodied up thirteen year old comes rushing from inside.
A cut lay underneath a black eye on pale, freckled features. His dark brown hair was a mess while he bore a broken, bleeding nose.
"What the-?" Sasha is about to question as Midnight sneaks off, jogging to catch up to the boy she knew.
"Tum Tum? Who did that to you?!" Midnight calls, following him into the quiet place of a secluded library. Funny, she never got the time to visit the place even when teachers thought she went there instead of her class.
"WHERE'D HE GO?!" A deep roar of a male voice growled, shoving Midnight harshly into a bookshelf.
"Over here!" Another voice roared, ambushing the yellow ninja.
"Whoa! What the fuck do you little bitches think you're doing? He's never done anything wrong to you!" came the confident shout of London Sinclair. His hazel brown eyes were in a glare on the two jocks willing to pick a fight with some one smaller.
"Travis and Birdie everybody about the little fag! He's done for." The first bully angrily roared, lighting up a cigarette. The idiot went to burn the younger boy until a miracle took place.
"Leave him alone! You don't know him so why beat him or call him names? There's no point to wail on him if you did know him. Get lost!" London pipes up, slightly balling his fist. The blonde boy remained as calm as Rocky holding down patience.
The bully forgot about the yellow ninja. He mosised over to London, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"Are you in love with this little fag? My mother would applaud me for ridding the world of such disgrace. She's a firm believer in God." The bully hisses, deciding to grip the boy hard.
London held calm, twisting up the bully's wrist.
A pain crime came from the first bully while the second bully took ahold of the yellow ninja.
Of course, the second bully thought he held the upper hand until Tum Tum did the unthinkable.
He kicked, aiming for his target.
The second bully dropped his release on Tum Tum.
Tum Tum turns to the male bully, "Go home Stacy! You too, Billy!"
Billy was the one in pain, kneeling in front of London who twisted a second time to get his point across.
"Mess with my friends or me, you will wish your mom would have baptized you at the start of birth. Lay another hand on my sister, you won't live to become a pirate's bitch for the second time in your life." London jeered as a warning flashed to Billy. His words were for the other bully as well.
"Fags go to hell. You will burn! All of you!" Stacy promised, raising a hand.
Stomping, Tum Tum smiles as the bullies cower.
"GO!" Midnight booms, coming to stand beside her brother. She's tired of bullies always gaining the upper hand.
Stacy and Billy flinch. They didn't truly realize the girl was around. In fact, they paid her no mind upon catching up to the yellow ninja. They were intelligent enough to know what was good for them so they left.
Tum Tum grew tense, feeling awkward.
"All I did was lineup to get lunch. They came over to harrass me. I couldn't take anymore of it so I told them where to go." Tum Tum mindlessly spoke up, keeping his gaze innocently on the ground.
Midnight frowns, walking over to place a hand upon his shoulder. "Tum, how did all this begin?"
"Well, Tum, and I were chattering away in line when Birdie barged into the cafeteria as if she owns the place. She immediately stood on a table with another boy; I haven't met. They were shouting about how..." London had begun to easily explain the situation, trailing off as he realized this.
"Birdie told everybody along with the help of Travis that I shared a kiss with him. It's uh, not, a total lie." Tum Tum softly finishes, shuffling on the balls of his feet uneasily.
"Still? Did she have to go and out you like that?" London asks, shaking his head at the vicious thought. He'd kill those guys once he caught them alone again. Oh, he would. Nobody should be made fun of or bullied for anything.
"You can't tell anybody of what she was telling everyone. It may true, but as proven by those idiots; I won't be accepted so easily." Tum Tum frantically replies as Midnight nods.
"Let's get you to the nurse. You're all battered." London says, steering the boy from the library.
"Wait, Tum, aren't you a ninja? How could they easily get ahold of you?" Midnight is a bit confused. She saw how fast all the brothers were able to move even Baby.
"Sneak attack, Night! Duh! I might be a ninja, but like everybody else I have a weakness." Tum Tum gently scolds, rolling his eyes in reminder at her.
"Your secret is more than safe with me. If ever you need an ear or backup then you can count on me." Midnight offers, causing the boy to burst into laughter followed by tears of the pain in his nose.
"Night, you couldn't hit a fly. It's not that you don't have good aim, but you as backup is like Rocky enjoying himself. It's rare if it does happen. No offense." Tum Tum chuckles as London tugs him from the place.
Midnight sighs, knowing the yellow ninja had a point. What if something like this were to happen to London one day? She couldn't stand the thought, deciding to track down Birdie.
Birdie is happily conversing with Erica outside of the lunch room. The girl has a wicked smile, playing on her lips as Midnight nears.
Would anybody believe what went down that day?
"Hey, look who we have?" Birdie chirps, quickly catching view of the odd pink loving girl. She cracked her knuckles as Midnight slowed to a stop in front of the yellow double doors to the entrance of the cafeteria.
Erica perks up at catching sight of Birdie.
Like a lion, waiting to pounce- Midnight stood; clenching her fist. She got a glimpse of friends, sitting in the back of the cafeteria briefly glimpsing her themselves.
Birdie taps Midnight on the shoulder. She's startled by the reaction Midnight gives her.
Midnight swung on the short girl, allowing her knuckles to crackle into the bridge of Birdie's nose. Her eyes widened a fraction at the crunching sound, coming from the collision. She felt guilt tear through her at the action yet she was doing justice for those who didn't seek it out themselves.
Birdie hissed, grasping her nose.
Erica went to touch Midnight, but the girl lowered sending Erica headlong into the locker behind her.
Midnight frowns, gesturing to the blood seeping from Birdie's nose. "Pick on someone your own size or rather your own temperment."
Birdie seethes, growling need to get bandaged up.
Boy, did Midnight have it coming for her. And all of her ignorant friends.
