Ch.7: Hidden Emotions
Drama, the one thing I knew I would be able to do. I loved acting in plays and parts like that, someday I was going to be an actor and shove in those asses faces and do my dance. But for now I had to settle with a class on the subject. I walked down another dark hallway but this time I kept my guard up, no ambush by idiots or that Slade. Figures, those three pricks could barely speak English than act it out. And Slade didn't seem like the talking type. So as I reached the class room I was met by a terrifying screech.
I readied myself for battle and was about to punch an innocent kid in the face when I heard a typical high collar laugh and I turned to see a young blonde girl with fang like teeth and deadly blue eyes. She wore a blue button up shirt with half of the buttons un-done and I could see her pink bra. She wore a mini pink skirt that was short enough you could see the letter's 'Whore' on her panties. I was technically turned off by her face but my wondering eye got the better of me. This was the school slut by a retards guess.
"Hello! The name is Kitten; you scared me to death with that horrible fashion sense." She said with a preppy I-am-better-than-you-voice that made you want to vomit.
"Kitten huh? Could have sworn you would be a Paris, maybe the last names Hilton? Wouldn't be surprised, and for fashion senses maybe you got your stuff from Little Slut's 99cent store behind the strip club."
The kids in the class held back there laugher but the whore didn't she just growled in gritted her teeth and took a seat in front as usual I took the back. As I sat down I heard a clap from the front of the class. As I looked up I saw my new teacher. He had long rocker red hair, a large gut, leather Matrix jacket and a brown shirt with black jeans and old dirty shoes. The guy had an almost beard that didn't pass his chin.
"Very good Mr. Logan I read your papers, you are going to be one of my favorites. Kids the names not important but most of my high school friends called me Control Freak king of drama and electronic entertainment at your service." The man said with a puberty raspy voice and did a little bow.
I stood in shock, was this school full of crazy no talent people that they hired a computer nerd with a habit of puberty! I stood there looking at him wobble over to the desk and took a seat, I did the same but kept my laughter down.
"O.k. when I call you're names please say here. Now tell me if I am saying this correct, Billy Numerous?"
A big hillbilly like kid stood up and gave a down south here.
"Johnny Rancid?"
A taller kid with spiky black hair and punk Goth clothes stood up and gave his here.
"Garfield Logan?"
"Here!"
"Kitten Moth?"
"Here!"
"Baran 'Mammoth' Flinders?"
"Here!" said an enormous teen with long red hair and muscles of a steroid user.
"Selinda "Jinx' Flinders?"
"Here!" called the recognizable voice of Jinx, Victor's old girl friend.
Jinx was petite sweet and courteous but when alone with her she was a bitch of the ages. She had bubble gum pink hair and pale skin like Ravens.
"Mikron O'Jeneous?"
"That's right I'm here you pig snuffers but the name is Gizmo you got it!"
"So all you three are the H.I.V.E student's correct the gang of emotionally challenged kids that live in a care home by Mr. Blood? I have all three of you in my class this will be an interesting year."
I smiled, the Gizmo kid was technically a little short for his age, or that of a 4 year old! He wore deep green and black goggles and a green and black jump suit. But he looked like a genius and probably was.
That was all the kids, just a small group of us. But like all the other classes this one went by fast and boring as well, Control Freak was a good dramatic teacher but I didn't know about his sanity ability it might have gone away after he watched Attack of the Thing from Far Away!
And finally the class ended and I was free to go and see Raven in that place, I read the not over and looked around the school. Finally I found the building, it didn't look abandoned but I didn't know. It was like a giant basket ball court inside but to the sides were rooms leading to an office, a bathroom, a room for gymnastics, a weight room, and many more for I don't know.
What I thought was surprising was there was no dust on anything, but I took a seat on a bench and rested my head on the wall. I waited for about 5 minutes when a door opened. I couldn't tell were because the darkness of the gym kept me blinded, it couldn't have been in the main room. I got up and heard footsteps coming towards me, they were cold and hollow. Then the figure of a person came into my view, I couldn't tell who it is but I thought it looked like Raven.
"Hey Rae, so what is it you want to tell me?"
There was a silence and I thought maybe she didn't know what to say. And from out of no where a strike of courage came into my body.
"Hey Raven, I know we don't know each other that much, but umm maybe sometime this week maybe um…you and me, by ourselves if you would like to, uh… go out with me?"
As I finished the heat of a blush came across my face. The figure came closer and put a hand on my cheek; it was cold but felt caring. I smiled and then I heard something that sent a lightning stile down my body.
"How sweet; but I think you have the wrong person." said a cold empty voice I recognized as Slade.
From out of no where a fist was lodged into my side! It sent me across the floor and landing on my stomach. In a snap the lights flashed on and Slade stood perfectly still with Plasmus, Cinderblock, and Overload who had hit me stood behind him!
"Now, now little Garfield I am going to propose you something that would help you get little Raven to yourself, what do you say to that?" he said coldly.
"What is it; I don't have time to waist."
Cinderblock came forward and helped me to my feet; he dusted my shoulder and chuckled.
"Now young Garfield, I am going to ask you a serious question. What would you do to get Raven in your arms?"
"Anything."
"Good, then here is my proposal, join my crew, there is something inside of you that I fell would be very useful to me."
I was shocked; he had asked me to join him, for Raven! I thought about this but remember what Robin had said, Slade wouldn't help me, he would use me and then shoe me off like he will those three losers!
"For Raven, I would do anything, but joining you is not on my anything list."
Cinderblock didn't take it too nicely. He slammed his fist into my stomach and his elbow to the back of my head! I fell to my knees and felt light headed. I heard footsteps coming up behind me but before I could react a rope went around me throat! It was Overload; he had his knee in the small of my back and was strangling me with the rope!
"Now Mr. Logan, I will ask you again will you join my gang?" Slade yelled with his voice rising for the first time.
I spat on his shoes and Plasmus punched me in the stomach and I let out a blast of air but it stuck in my throat and almost made me cry.
"You are just like all the others, you refuse now but think about what woman would ever have true feelings for a freak like you!" he said as he ripped off my jacket revealing my green face!
I felt tears stain my eyes but then I rose to my feet not by myself. The rope was still tightly around me throat but no knee in my back.
"No, I am sorry but I refuse to join you."
Slade sighed and nodded, he had sympathy in his voice.
"You are pathetic, one day you're little secret will be none, but if it is and you join me you will never be treated differently think about it. Raven wouldn't love a weak emotional suicidal punk like you. True love comes with power and respect!"
I shook my head and wanted to spit in his face but I couldn't.
"I did this to you're friend Richard at one time. He agreed after some time of torture and followed me for some time. Until I killed his old girlfriend Kimberly, she was taking him out of my grasp so I slit her throat and smeared the blood on his face. He left and we never spoke about it again. So the meaning is Garfield is that I will take any risk to keep you in my grasp. Even if I have to kill that filthy bitch Raven you are head over heels for."
I felt anger grow inside of me and before anything happened I snapped! My body tensed and the rope around me neck snapped in two. I gave a horrible growl and went on a rampage I attacked Overload first; I slammed my fist into his stomach and more in his stomach faster and faster!
Before he could react I slammed him onto the floor and smashed the back of my shoe into his neck and his face crashed across the hard wood floor, blood began to poor from his nose.
Next was Plasmus I slammed my knee into his stomach and flipped him over with my hand and he landed on his back! I jumped on his stomach and slammed my entire body on his stomach I heard a snap and he was out!
Finally there was Cinderblock I wasted no time and spun him around and slammed his face first against the wall! I began to slam his head constantly against it until I broke his nose and let him lean on the bench unconscious!
I felt my body become stronger and anger filled my body, I cocked my head and gave Slade a crazy look. He was not stunned! I growled and ran towards him ready to beat him to. But as I came close to him he kicked me across the chest and smashed the back of his leg across my neck and threw me across the floor! He took the rope and wrapped it around my hands and legs. Then with one arm he hosted me up like a flag and let me hang there my back slowly swinging around.
Before he was about to leave I saw his slaves stir and wake. He approached me and pulled out a pocket knife.
"So, now you see the power I told you about! That my friend is an inner Beast and you have a very strong Beast in you! But I took you out easily so how can you beat me even with you're strongest form! I tell you now, you can't, so join me now or I will kill every person that supports or loves you! Now will you join me yes or no?"
I wanted to kill him but my body shook, I pictured Victor, Kori, Richard, Ms. Brumfield and Raven in my mind. I didn't want to hurt them, I had no other choice, and I was beaten!
"Yes…I will…will…join you…you bastard."
Slade smiled and put the pocket knife away. He pulled out an orange marker and wrote a devilish S on my forehead and left the room. But as he was about to close the door he spoke.
"This is not an abandoned gym little Garfield, this is were all sport tryouts will be held in 5 minutes, so some of your friends will be here soon to help you. Have a nice day; tomorrow I will expect to see you by my side in math."
I didn't say anything and the last thing I heard was his cold evil chuckle echo across the walls. The door closed and the lights shut off. I was put in darkness and I wasn't a kid anymore. I was an apprentice, Slade's apprentice.
