Chapter 14: SeparationXArgumentXAvoidance

After attendance was called to make sure all the names written down were actually present, home room was dismissed and everyone reported to their first classes for the day.

Killua and Gon, unfortunately, were separated for most of the day as Killua had mostly advanced classes and Gon was still in regular ones. They could still be together during lunch, and had P.E. as well as math together.

Age 13

The two years that Killua and Gon had to have the same classes are over, and as much as they hated it they were separated almost instantly. Killua had been put in almost all advanced classes because it seemed as though he was too smart for his own good so far. The only classes he hadn't been put in the advanced version of was Math and History. Though they still managed to get some of the same time together such as during lunch and electives.

Gon didn't mind as much because he knew Killua could handle himself by now, though he was still not happy he wasn't there to make sure no one else took him away.

Killua absolutely hated the idea of being separated, because attention was almost always drawn directly to him upon simply walking in the room. He didn't appreciate that everyone loved to either practically stalk him or try to pick on him without Gon there to make it all worth while and help him keep his patience in check.

"Killua, please try not to hurt anyone anymore," Gon warned him, hoping to not hear Killua's name get called over the loudspeakers about coming to the principal's office.

"Yeah yeah," Killua responded distantly, not even looking at his companion as he skated up the school's sidewalk slowly, hood drawn over his head and hands in his hoodie pockets.

"Killua, I'm serious!" Gon whined at not being taken seriously.

"I'm just kidding, calm down. I'll try not to hurt anyone," Killua tried again, this time looking over and smiling to show he was really paying attention.

"You don't usually take your promises very seriously. I don't want you to try not to hurt someone, I want you to not hurt anyone. Period."

"Look, do you want me to try or just go ahead and do it? You know how these people piss me off," Killua asked him, his tone a little more aggressive now.

Gon tossed his hands up shoulder-level, signaling he gave up this argument, and walked on ahead.

"I'm not bailing you out this time, but I'll be really disappointed in you if you get in another fight," the spiky-haired teen pointed out, practically speed walking away in anger.

Killua ended up grinding his teeth so hard that he bled that day, but avoided 6 potential fights.

Don't feel obligated to give a good review, I accept good and bad alike, so don't hold back. Though I prefer any review to none at all. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed.

Thank you for reading.
