A/N: Thank you so much for the follows and favorite guys. I'm surprised that the story is to the liking of you. Still trying to think of the plot as we go but I feel like I kind off know where this will go. So just enjoy the ride and we will see how far I take this. I had plans for another story but that is still in my head. For now, this story is my main point. Thank you again and enjoy.
Chapter 5:Control it
Age 9
For the past three years, I think my life has gotten way better than I hope it would. Sometimes I wake up and start to remember the song I hear more better now as time passes. There are still does in which I can't remember at all, but that's fine I put them separate from the rest. I think we're at 38 now.
Mom has been talking more about her job as a huntress and tells me about her adventures with her team and some of her solo missions.
But when we get to school that's a whole different ballgame. Am I doing badly at school? No, for what is worth I'm doing quite alright. The whole crying in class spread around the school fast, people started to call me 'crybaby Seth'. But I never really cared.
Pyrrha later that day went up to me to apologize. Even though she didn't do anything wrong.
We became friends because of an 'understanding'. sweet girl.
So you may ask what is wrong with school then. Well...
POW!
CRASH!
'Another one bites the dust!'
Thank you, Freddy!
"Alright! Who's Next?" trying to catch my breath
"You really going to side with that Faunus! Rather than us?!"
I take a look behind me and see said 'Faunus' on the ground holding his tail.
He may be older than me, but he looked like he was in a lot of pain from what happened.
"Yea, well you already know the answer. don't you stupid?"
"My name is.."
"It doesn't matter what your name is!"
POW!
Augh
Yea, this has been going on ever since I made it to the fourth grade. As young kids, all we knew was just to make fun of each other and call each other names. But somehow around this age the kids just start throwing hands with each other. Don't know why, it's just a rule I guess.
"Mister Sapphire! Stop this at once!"
Well teach you sure did take your sweet time.
"Yea, I know. I'll go to the principal office."
Sigh... Man, I really am just like my mother.
Sitting in the office is always nerve-wracking for me. Sitting in a chair for a good hour, waiting for my mom to come pick me up and take me home is never easy. I know she's a busy person and she has to stop her work just to come and talk to the principal, I really feel bad each time she comes through those doors.
The door opens and I look up expecting my mom, but no it's the faunus boy who enters. He looks at me and nods his head.
I do the same.
'Hope he feels better.'
Suddenly the doors open with much more force, it scares both of us.
"Sweet heart! Are you hurt let me see your face!" Yep, Mom is worried.
"It's fine. This is but a scratch." I joke to see if it calms her down.
"Last time I check, scratches don't leave black eyes."
"I'm a special case. haha"
With that poor attempt of a joke. The Principal enters the room holding what looks to be folders.
"Ah, Miss Sapphire please to see you again. How many times has it been this month?"
"It's only been 5 times," Mom answered.
"Mom it's been like 12 now." I answer her
She just looks at me with eyes that are telling me to 'shut up.'
I smile back at her.
"Right well. Let's get started. Mister Amin how long until your parents get here? I also wish to speak with them."
"um.. they said they would be here in ten minutes."
"Perfect. You can just wait outside for them." waving him off.
I really hate this guy.
With that, the boy leaves the office.
So here we go. How bad could this be?
"Miss Sapphire. I believe every child should have a chance to be in this school, but what I don't like is that said child should be fighting with other students."
"I understand sir. But my son knows not to fight without reason."
Bad choice of words Mom.
"So you tell him to fight if he has one?"
My mom's eyes widen " No! that's not-"
"I see."
This is not going to end well. It will either end with me getting suspended or my mom trying to put the man through his table. Let's just say the principal is not the best person to talk to when it comes to doing anything about Faunus. How he got this job I will never know. He hides it well, but man this guy can talk.
So I need to speak up.
"Well, they were about to do something horrible to that kid!"
Both adults look at me.
"Really? What did they do? And who?"
...
...
Shit, what were their names again.
"Umm Appule and his Friends.
"Who?"
"Look it doesn't matter, they almost set the boy's tail on fire."
They all look surprised by what I just said.
"Did they now?"
"Yes. They just grab it and pulled on it, and when no one try to stop them they just started rubbing something on it. After that, Appule just grab a dust canister and was about to light him up. If I didn't stop them who knows what would have happened."
Seriously what type of monster would do that to someone?
"So you are telling me that a group of nine-year-olds gang up on a thirteen-year-old?"
"Yes!"
Hey, little kids are dangerous when they are in groups.
"I see. Well, this will make my decision way easier."
Good expel them so they won't hurt anyone again.
"From here on. Mister Sapphire, you are now expelled from this school."
...
...
..
.
WHAT THE FUCK!
"What!? Why me !?"
"It seems not only did you get into a fight for the twelfth time this month. You also decided to make a lie about your classmates. I asked around and I come to find out that you were the one who started the altercation. If you wish to fight, then go join Sanctum Academy."
BullShit. I bet everyone just lied on this. Just to find a way to get rid of me at this school.
"Why don't you ask Amin then!? He's the victim in this!" I ask
"I would ask him and his part of the story once his parents arrive."
So you didn't even bother to get his side first huh? Racist MF!
"You Moth-"
Suddenly my mom put her hand on my shoulder and squeezed it.
I looked at her trying to find any support in this.
But she just smile and shook her head 'no'.
"I see." my mom starts "Well, will you inform me once you get the full details of what happened?"
"Of course miss. We will inform you when it happens." The Principal said to my mother.
"Very well. Now if you excuse us." with that she grabs my hand and leads me out.
I can feel her hand trembling. Ether with anger or disgust of what just happened. Hard to tell.
As we leave the office, I can see the faunus boy with his parents.
He turns to me and smiles. Then points at me to his parents.
Both parents look at me and begin to walk toward us.
"So he is the one."
"Yea, Dad he's the one who helped me."
Man, the father is built like a tank.
"Oh thank you so much young man! You really saved our little pub tail!"
"Mom!"
The mother on the other hand was way smaller than the man. Almost the same height as my mom.
"Yep, that's my little gem always helping the best that he can. Just like me."
"Mom..."
Mom I don't do wrestling moves on others.
...
...
Yet.
"Just a heads up. You might want to find your boy a new school soon. This place might not last if you get my drift." With that, my mom winks at them. taking my hand again and starts pulling me outside.
Wait what does she mean by that?
"Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't worry about it sweet heart."
I am really worried about it now. My mom is the type of person who likes to 'finish what she started' with anyone who messes with her.
"Hey!"
I turn around and Amin was walking towards me.
"Yea?"
"Thank you again. Not many people will do what you did for me." Faunus he most mean. Yea, not many will. Seeing today no one cares that much.
"No problem.. take care. um"
"Marrow! Call me Marrow."
As we walk home. Mom was happy for some reason
"What's up, mom?"
"Oh just happy, that you were able to make a new friend today."
Yea, all it took was for me to get into twelve fights and get expelled from school. So yea a new friend was bound to happen.
That being said.
"Mom, why didn't you say anything?"
...
"Oh trust me I wanted to. I wanted to throw the man out the window and break his head over his desk. But that would have been rather harsh don't you think?"
"No. I'll probably have joined you on that."
We both laugh at that.
sigh..." Sometimes there is a right time and a bad time to be angry. That's when you just need to control your anger. When that time comes and you can't control it. You will either make a mistake that could cause you something dear to you."
Huh wow, I really wasn't expec-
Ahh
Head hurts...
"Are you ok?"
"Yea. Just my head hurts. I'm fine."
I just close my eyes and see someone appear. A girl with long blonde hair, Lilac eyes, and an angry face.
Man, she looks piss.
This again what's the deal with this pain and me seeing these people? This hasn't happened in the past three years and now it's back.
I open my eyes again and see my mother worried face.
"Are you sure you ok?"
"Yea it's just, I remember something."
"Really? What?"
Crap what should I say
"Umm... Well"
"Seth is that you?"
I turn to my left and see Pyrrha walking on the opposite side of the street. With her mother.
...
...
Oh no!
'Oh, gods. Why do you do this to me.'
"Pyrrha. Hi, how are you." I quickly grab my mom's arm.
"Good, but seeing your eyes, I'll say you got into another fight?" I see Pyrrha grabbing her mom's arm as well.
"Yea, but I had my reasons." I try pulling my mom away from this conversation.
"I'm sure you did." Pyrrha is trying her best to pull her mom away.
A hand was placed on my head, and I looked up.
'oh boy here go again'
So a funny thing. Apparently, my mom knows Pyrrha's mom. Something about going to Haven, different teams, and School drama. and let's just say they are not at the best terms 'friends'.
"Nikos your still crazy!?"
"Of course Sapphire. You still alone?!"
"How's your divorce husband!?"
"He's good. How's your dead team?!"
Ok! We need to go! Now!
I take my mom's hand and quickly pull her away.
"Ok! See you around Pyrrha. Take care." I wave goodbye
"Yes! See you at school!" seeing her pull her mother in the opposite direction.
"Yea! No, I got expelled from school! Might try Sanctum next! See you!"
"WHAT!"
With that, we turn the corner out from their view.
Phew that was close I do not want to see another battle on the street again.
I looked at my mom and boy she looked pissed.
"So what was that about controlling your anger again?"
She looks at me not amused "I had to deal with work today, then deal with the principal, and now her... But luckily I had you here with me. So I didn't do anything crazy."
Yea lucky you.
"So what was this about joining Sanctum I heard you say?"
"Oh um well I need to go to school right? So what better school other than Sanctum ehe."
She looked upset, and knowing why. This was going to be a long talk.
