Once I finished getting patched up and had the door rudely slammed on my face so I decided to go check on my friends since there was going to lesson with only 10 minutes left and as I wonder through the corridor I could not help but ponder at the though of what beefy me was telling me about my arch nemesis Tyrone and his weakness was getting judged by others "I may need to test that theory and see if it does work." I mumbled to myself as I see Vlad's class labelled "telekinesis" (yes Vlad wanted to become a silveon) and peaked through the glass to see everyone else having fun reading their dummy's minds and practicing lifting objects with their mind but it seems Vlad had already foreseen me coming because he was not in class but was walking along the corridor with his backpack in hand ready to pick up Chloe.
it taken us 5 minutes to get to Chloe's classroom but it was not any trouble because students were already being dismissed early for lunch so we were practically incognito right in that crowd so teachers could not pull us over and ask why we were not out of class but I was shortly cut out of my daydream when I was bumped into by a pile of flesh which got me angry by the aura so I did not even bother looking up because already know who it was "well,well,well how's your ankle, courage?" Mocked Tyrone and if any time was perfect now was it this was the time to put that theory to the test "well I'm glad you asked why don't I just ask reception to phone your mommy so she can spread you along her knee and set your butt ablaze" I said with a sly smile "well...you are...stupid" stuttered Tyrone, no way the theory actually works Tyrone is now vulnerable to my speech "what's the matter tongue tied?" I said once again pushing my luck by now Tyrone was in shambles and I had successfully broken him, I actually won him and before I could utter out another word he just stood up and walked away from the scene.
After my victory us and Chloe exchange smiles and waves then Vlad explains what happened in the hallway with me and Tyrone "no way, so you actually beat Tyrone then my why is off to you sir." said Chloe as she imitated taking a hat off and bowing in front of me.
Time Skip to after school when we see Josh, Vlad and Chloe outside the school discussing the subject of Josh humiliating Tyrone...
"Well, you may have humiliated him today but he will get you back and when he does, it wont be the usually tackle or food in the face instead he may just jump straight to beating you with everything and anything he finds." said Chloe as she pointed a paw towards Josh, "don't worry about it, I know I ain't I've already figured out what I have to do: first I'm going to run then I'm going to turn my head exactly a 180 degree angle then spit my tongue out at him to make him angry..." I started to disassemble my brilliant plan to them but of course I was only joking so I decided to include Vlad in it to tease him "then Vlad this is where you come in." I said glancing over at him to see his reaction with it and then I got what I wanted, a scared expression smacked over his face "WHAT YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING, RIGHT!" shouted Vlad flailing his paws in the air like a maniac "dude, I wish I was but my hands are tied so here's your role: you are going to wait around the corner by my locker and wait until I give the signal which will be the most girlish scream you have ever heard to ready the locker door and as soon as I run around the corner you are going to swing the locker door as hard as possible at his face so he is stunned then we both run like hell away, sound good?" I asked returning to the real world from my daydream planning the prank out as I gone along. "that sounds like the most dumbest idea ever...and I LOVE it!" Chloe smiled as she started to walk with me as I wanted to get home so I could realise just how dumb this plan actually was.
As we got home we waved to Chloe while she approached her door and she returned the gesture but whilst we began to walk towards how Vlad began to talk about a rather touchy subject...
"So, Josh why is it that people call you "Courage" anyway...THAT IS if you don't mind sharing it" he asked that triggered a memory like a bullet from a gun causing me to trail off.
Flashback after the walk back from my birthday surprise towards going home...
"That was a COOL day mom and dad, can we do it again and again?" little me pleaded pulling puppy eyes "Well Josh you only have to wait another year then you can enjoy this again." said dad making me sad and lower my ears down to my tiny little knees "It's ok dear the year will fly by if you enjoy yourself as much as possible." said mom hyping me up once more but in the distance a figure emerged from the shadows and before we knew it my mom and dad were both hit with a hydro pump causing them both to fly out of sight and I could not see much due to tears threatening to fall down my cheeks.
"Now little boy come to papa so he can love you" said what I recognised as a paedophile "get away from me you monster" I said as I begin walk away slowly turning around in the process and that was when two huge fireballs blasted out of the darkness setting the stranger ablaze but barely doing anything to him "really? was I just getting kissed on the cheek? I WILL SHOW YOU A REAL ATTACK!" he shouted before using double team and everyone of them releasing a dark pulse making the area glow of purple revealing my parent's locations before all of them hit my parents causing them to implode on the power and out of instinct to run and never look back, which actually worked because the stranger never bothered to come after me...
End of flashback...
"I'm sorry dude I never knew" he said looking at the ground "well I'm glad I got it off my chest" I said with a tear dripping down my cheek.
