Chapter 4: Time for Change and Revenge

"Should I call her?" thought Nick as he walked home from the hospital. His grandparents were still at his Uncle Ray's, who lived in New Jersey, so there was no one to give him a ride home.

He held Anne's card tightly in his hand, wondering whether or not he should call her. He stared at the card with such intensity, that he didn't even notice that he had walked off the sidewalk and straight onto the street.

Nick was reading Anne's name and number, when his eyes stop at a picture of Anne. He smiled and said aloud, "She has nice eyes."

HOOOOONNNNNKKKKKK!

Nick looked up to see that he was now in the middle of the street and that a H2 Hummer was speeding towards him. The Hummer was swerving violently left and right, the driver most likely drunk.

By instinct alone, Nick jumped into the air, amazingly about 15-20 feet up, dodging the Hummer completely. The drunk looked back at Nick as he landed on the ground, dumbstruck.

As he landed on ground, Nick was in shock. "Ok," thought Nick, "how the hell did I just do that?" Suddenly, a crashing noise came from behind him. He looked to see that the drunk driver had crashed right into a telephone pole, although it barely stopped the Hummer, driving off as if nothing happened. "Damn," said Nick out loud, "I need to get me one of those."

Nick got home as quickly as he could, making sure he was on the sidewalk this time. When he entered the house, he rushed straight into his room. He took off his shirt, threw it into the hamper, and began to walk to the phone, when he passed the mirror.

"Wait a minute," said Nick as he walked back towards his mirror. He saw something very different looking at him. The face was like Nick remembered, but the body sure as hell wasn't. "Dude," said Nick in awe, "I'm ripped!"

Indeed, Nick's skinny body was no longer there, instead there was a muscular body in its place. He had muscles on his arms and he had six-pack abs. Nick took off his pants to find that his legs, too, had became muscular. He was so muscular, that he could probably even take on Erik...

As the thought entered his mind, Nick smiled devilishly. Now there was a thought. Nick examined his ripped body and said aloud, "I think I should test these side effects before I tell Dr. Roberts, I mean who knows, maybe these things just came with maturity."

The next day at school…

"Hey Erik!" yelled someone from across the football field, "why don't you come over here, you cockbite!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked for the source of the death wish. Erik looked and was surprised to see that Nick was the one calling him out.

"Have you gone mental?" said Erik out loud as he walked towards Nick, a crowd of students gathering around them. Erik tossed his lettermen to the side and started to crack his knuckles.

"Well, now I can officially say that the freak is crazy," laughed Erik, as did the crowd of students. He smiled and said, "So, which body part do you want broken first?" Nick smiled and replied, "How about this one?" and showed him the middle finger.

Erik went from enjoying himself to being pissed at Nick in an instant. "Alright dumbass," snapped Erik, tightening his fist, "time for you to learn your place." Erik threw his fist with great force, but was surprised when all he felt was air.

Nick had dodged him by a mile, unheard of from the stories of Erik's beatings. Nick quickly elbowed Erik's back, causing the quarterback to fall hard onto the ground. Gasps were heard from all over the crowd as Erik got up to feet.

As soon as Erik got to his feet, he wasted no time charging at Nick. Nick moved out of the way and kneed Erik hard into the gut. Blood splattered out of Erik mouth as Nick gave him a hard uppercut, sending him into the air.

Erik landed hard on the ground. He tried to move, but Nick stomped his foot on Erik stomach, pinning Erik to the ground. Nick smiled and looked down at Erik. He got close to Erik's face and spat in his face.

Nick had done it! He finally gave Erik a piece of his own medicine. He felt like making a speech, when suddenly a voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Mr. Ramono! Report to the Principal's Office immediately!"

Well, there's chapter 4 for ya. Hope you enjoy it. Believe it or not, I this in one day. Review please. NJRBlackblod saying CYA.
