Stranger In Your Eyes: Chapter 7


Trunks' fist smashed a stone wall, causing it to fall apart at his feet. "That FUCK! He is going to die…" He snarled at his posse, five muscular guys who thrived on bullying everyone in their way..

They smirked at each other, and followed him as he angrily headed down Thorn Street towards the home of Andrew Sautner, a small boy in their grade. Andrew was supposed to have done Trunks' homework for him, like he did every day, but somehow the teacher had found out. Trunks had just gotten suspended for ten days. "Ten fucking days……that bitch is going to regret it." Trunks growled.

They reached a small yellow house with an empty driveway. Trunks barged inside, yelling at the top of his voice. "You little BITCH! Andrew!"

From somewhere upstairs, there was a whimper. Trunks stamped upstairs but Andrew was not in his room. He was hiding. Unfortunately for him, Trunks could sense his ki, and before long, he'd dragged him out from under his parent's bed by his hair. "You ratted me out." Trunks spoke low, and dangerously at the shaking, crying boy, who was frozen on the floor. The boys were in a circle around him.

"No! I didn't!...Please…" Andrew whispered, his blue eyes wide behind his thick glasses.

Trunks thrust his fist into the boy's stomach, not hard enough to kill him, like he could do easily, but enough to knock the wind out of him.

Two of the bullies began laughing hysterically. Trunks ignored them. "So, you didn't tell, hm? Just who are you suggesting did? Your fucking imaginary friend?" He looked all around him innocently. "Where is he? Should I kill him too?" He pretended to look for an invisible person underneath the bed, and on the ceiling. By now, all the others were laughing, except the boy, who remained curled up and whimpering, in too much pain to move from the blow he'd received. Not that he would if he could. Trunks would kill him for sure. Or the others.

"My mom…" The boy sobbed. "She- she saw me copying the work for you-"

Trunks' eyebrow raised. "Your mom? Then I suppose I could just destroy her instead of you." He leaned back lazily against the wall. "But I don't know. Maybe I could just do you both. What do you think?"

"Trunks!" A shocked voice called out.

Trunks whipped around to see Goten standing in the doorway, disbelief on his face as he looked in.

Trunks didn't know what to say, and just stared right back into Goten's horrified eyes. Something tore inside of him, and he inwardly shook. Goten….

"Hey, butt out, brat!" One of the boys, Tommy, growled, stepping forward.

"Yeah, get the fuck out of here. Unless you were planning on joining him..?" Another, Sam, added.

Goten ignored them, and continued to stare at Trunks. "Trunks..? Is this….is this what you have become?" He asked softly.

Trunks was dumbstruck, but within a second his eyes were flashing anger. "You….you don't know anything, you little creep! Get the FUCK out here, before I…!"

"Before you what? Planning on killing me, too? If I don't do your homework?" Goten had tears in his eyes, but he refused to cry. Not for someone like this. This was who Trunks was now….a bully. Just a heartless bully. He would never have thought this was possible of Trunks. To talk like killing was nothing... How many had he killed?

Suddenly, a voice called from downstairs. "Andrew, honey! I'm home!"

The boys shared looks, and hastily climbed out the window. Besides Andrew, only Trunks and Goten remained, both with fists clenched at their sides as they truly stared at each other for the first time in months.

When footsteps echoed in the hallway, Trunks flew out the window, leaving Goten behind to talk with the mom and Andrew. "I'm sorry." Goten apologized to them. "I'm sorry for everything."

Andrew frowned at him. "It…it wasn't you, Goten. You saved me."

"No." Goten smiled sadly. "It was me who created that monster." He stepped outside and flew off, leaving the dumbfound mother and child.

It was me. Goten thought dully as he flew above the treetops, far away from the world he knew, deep into the forest. He wanted out. If I had just forgiven Trunks back then…. Trunks….."TRUNKS!" He howled at the wind. Tears finally fell as he screamed in anguish, ripping at his hair in despair and throwing ki blasts at rocks. Explosion sounded everywhere as the hillside was dented.


Well, what do you think? Short, I know Sorry. More soon!Reviews would make me mighty happy! haha
