I looked over the Night's Sky which beautifully hanging above me, The stars were just as calm as the sea that was below me. Although the stars and the ocean The ocean breathed, her surface rising and falling with rhythmic ease. The waves became her pulse that day, the echo of the souls she kept safe in her cradle of brine. Meanwhile, The stars were the sound of the souls which could, In theory could destroy us all in a second.
What Mr. Bullard had told me was very shocking to me. Haydn,Wyatt and Joyce…. How could something terrible has happened to them? I couldn't bring myself to go to the hospital today due to my anxiety but I certainly would tomorrow. - And plus I felt guilty for making them walk home by themselves. I just can't help but think what would've happened if I had came with them?
-But then again, I don't even know what happened to them. Were they attacked by a bear? Mauled by a wolf? M-Maybe a spirit attacked them?
All of these chilling thoughts went through my head as I stared into the distance of the night.
"Hey sexy." I heard a voice behind me.
Once again, I knew who it was from the tone of his voice and his coarse choice of words - Chau zhang.
"*Sigh* What do you want, chau? I'm really not in the mood." I said.
"I just wanted to check on you, baby. I saw you moping around with Haydn's girl; this morning." Chau exclaimed.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.
"-Also I kind of wanted to see that sexy body." He smacked my butt with open palm.
"..." Normally I would've punched him into oblivion but I just wasn't in the mood.
"Woah. No reaction. Now I know something is wrong." He said. Chau sat down on the pier, next to me.
" Come on, Tell your old friend chau; what's wrong." He coerced.
"Why do you care, Chau? Aren't you just a bully?"
" Well ya but…. " Chau paused for a moment before looking directly at me. "Contrary to popular believe. Bullies actually care about the people that they bully." He exclaimed.
"That makes no sense." I said with a brief smile on my face.
"Ha! At least I got you to smile." He stated with a hardy laugh.
For once I think I could identify with chau. When he was not being a bully he seemed to be a human just like the rest of us.
"But you know… I am trying to change." He claimed.
"Change how?" I asked.
"For one… I'm trying to be more reasonable." He said.
"In what way?" I asked again.
"Ha! Remember yesterday, When I surrendered to Professor Josephine?" Chau seemed to say as if he was bragging.
"Could you imagine me, Five years ago doing that? I think would rather die than do it!" Chau exclaimed.
"Yeah. That did seem out of character for you." I replied.
" I realized that I couldn't win, So I just gave up. Why fight a useless battle?" He shrugged.
"Yeah. I see your point. Although now we'll have a hell of a lot of more homework this semester." I relented.
"Hahah…. Sorry about that." Chau rubbed his head.
"But, I do admit you have changed." I said to him. Chau wasn't as mean or brash as he used to be. He use to be an unabashed bully who would pick on anyone, but now seemed to just be a bully who was somewhat choice in his exploits.
"Heh. Ya, I know I have." He bragged.
"-But just so you know, I haven't gone soft! I'm still gonna mess with you and everyone else!" Chau exclaimed.
"*sigh* Of course…" I sighed as I looked up at the stars.
Across the deep ebony feathers of Night, there sparkled a mysterious material called "stars". Many were of different sizes and shapes, swirling, twisting, and churning amongst themselves in an enormous war that was too slow and much too big for the human mind to contemplate. The twinkling of the stars were enchanting; they blinked and flickered away, and yet always returned like rogues hiding away in the shadows. Yet, no matter what planet, what galaxy, or what universe any small creature may be on, those fiery lights streaking across the skies in diffusing blue streaks will always be there.
It was beautiful.
