Chapter 9 Gym

Zel walked down the corridors alone. Not another singel soul was there. It was odd though, usally the hall was filled with people. Zel sighed. It remined it of him, alone. He shooke his head, he was sinking into those dark thoughts again. He promised himself this year he wouldn't, more like he promised Amelia... but the same thing... right? He ran his hand through his hair( which mind you was very har because it is made of wire) and sighed. This looked like mit was turning to be another year just like the next. It would starts out normal, then something big would happen, like Amelia's dad would turn out to be a mass murder. Zelgadsi almost laughed out loud at the thought, but he just smirked. The thought of the "dawrf" passifist being a murder would make anyone laugh.

"Hey what is the stone boy smrking about, thinking nasty thoughts,"said Daren, stradeling up to Zel and shoving him in the shoulder. Zel just gave him a a stone cold stare."Oooooowwwww, stone boy's angry now, i'm so scared." Daren was one of those guys, you know big dump stupid jock who made fun of everyone and had porn posters' all over his walls. His target over the years was Zel. Not because of how he looked it was because he couldn't do anything. By saying this it meant that everyone knew Zel could beat anyone up in a blink of an eye mabey even kill them with one punch, because of his skin.

"Piss off Daren."

"Oh what you gonna do, punch him," said another one of Daren's stupid firends, Jordan. The only reason Zel had listen to the ruel, was beacuse last time he did it he was called to the principal's office and almost was arrested. The worst part about it was the Amelia's dad was the one to arrest him. he flet so ashamed he didn't come to school for 3 weeks. Zelgadsi lost in thought and comming out of it noticed they were in the change room. He took of his hood, and as soon as he did whispers went up like wild fire. After they were dressed they left to the main gym arera(sorry for the few of you who would have liked a more graphic sceen 0_o').

"Hi Zelly," said a girl waving to him from across the gym, he just rolled his eyes and blushed. Another thing about this "curse" was that not only did the guys thought it was cool, the girls thought he was one of the sexest thing alive. he shuddered at the thought.

"The stone man trying to get my girl," said Daren walking infront of him. Zelgadis had not noticed but he girl who had waved at him,Shelly, was Daren's girlfriend. What else could go wrong, Jordan joined Daren. Since the gym teacher, Dynast, wasn't there they could do what ever they wanted without getting hurt.

"Like I would be flirting with your girlfirend,"Zel said cooly. Daren taking it the wrong way picked up Zel by the collor and slammed him against the wall, holding him there, leaving an indent. The gym went silent.

"What are you trying to say ,stone freak, just because you can't get one cause your so freaking ugly!"

"No i'm saying that that girl must have some screws losse dating you!" he spat back. Daren clenched his hand into a fist and held it back.

"Don't hate me," he said in a mocking voice. He slammed his fist into Zel's face causing more damage to himself then to Zel. He let him slid to the flood holding his face.Jordan saw this as funny and decied to join in.

"You freak now wonder your parents left you with that crazed grand-father of yours," he said laughing and was joined by Daren. Zelgadis snapped. None but none said anything about his parents and got away with it. Faster than a blink of an eye Zelgadis shoot up and nailed Jordan in the stomach with his knee sending him flying back wards. the girls screamed as his body slammed into the ground at their feet.

"Hey settel down budy he was only joking," said Daren backing up. He tripped over his feet and was staring into Zel's eyes.

"I'm not laughing," he said dangorously picking Darne by the collor and put him throught the same procces of what he had done to him. When he clenched his fists and brought it back he smirked," Don't hate me."

"Man , please don't you could kill me," shouted Daren desperatly pleading for Zel to stop. A look of horor crossed his face and he brought his hand up to his face. Just as Zel's was about to smash his face in, everything seemmed to go in slow motion. A black ball of energy speed towards Zel, he had just enough time to turn his head and gasp. It all went back to normal, as Zel felt a sharp pain in his side, he was sent flying back. When the cloud of dust dissapered, you saw half of the class on one side of the gym terrifed, some of them helping Jordan, and on the other side was Zel, a horor striken Darne, and there standing infront of them both with a angry look was Dynast. He picked them both up by the collor and shoved them down on the bench.

"If I ever see either of you two fighting... ther are wores things then a smashed in face and a blast to the side," he hissed. This was very un-usual for Dynast, most of the time he was carefree, happy and didn't talk much but now he seemed as thought he would kill someone. He blew his whistel and turend to face the rest of the class." Everyone 5 laps around the gym, no excuse i want to see you all running when i get back. As for you two," he said to Zel and Daren."Come with me. You'll both be seeing the principal, and trust me it could be worse," he said turning the two boys following . Zelgadis or Daren didn't dare look or speak to talk to each other for the remained of the day.
