“Who’s he?”

“He was the person in charge of Charlie. I don’t disagree with your claim that there is a mole, but I don’t think that mole took over Charlie or is planning the attack. I think the mole leaked information to the BMO, which then they took over Charlie and is planning the attack.”

“So what do we do?”

“I’ll go tomorrow and talk with Ortega, see if he knows anything. We’ve developed a new technology so now I can connect your earpieces with the volume over here through the radio. It’s complicated and makes no sense, but I want to let you guys listen to the conversation. I’ll also get one of my guys to be there as well to film it for you,” Mr. Drails said.

I nodded.

It was the next day, and as usual, the dreadful morning of high school had dawned upon me. But anything’s better than that time fighting Rocke. I went over to my locker, putting in the code as Greg came by me. He still was acting silent and weird, and it just made me sad to see him like that. He always seemed so happy but now he just seemed lost in this world where everyone else was having fun and getting along and enjoying life while he wasn’t.

I don’t know what to do, I thought as I opened my locker door and put my bag inside before turning around and seeing him. He was still standing there, looking at me. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

.....

He shook his head. “Nothing,” he said. “Nothing.”

Now I’m fed up. How are you gonna say that nothing is wrong but, everything is wrong? He had been so happy, but now he just seems like this shell of a person who doesn’t want to talk and doesn’t want to do anything. He’s acting depressed and expects me to do what.

He asks me to treat him like normal, but yet-he isn’t acting normal! Why doesn’t he just leave me alone then? But all of a sudden, I heard something caught me off guard, like really off guard.

“Hello Conny-boy, I’ve missed you!”

Kirk...Kirk is here? What’s he doing here? I thought he was still on that trip, so how come he’s here now? And why is he here? I wondered as I stared at him with shock and surprise on my face. “Now you know how it goes, give me your money,” he said, sticking out his hand, showing me a wad of money that was in his hand.

I didn’t have any sort of money, but I didn’t want to get pummeled by him, so I grabbed the wad of bills and put it into my pocket and tried to smile as best I could as he held out his other hand for me to shake. But then, Greg stood up in front of me and stuck out his hand.

“Give that money back,” he said, his voice menacing and dangerous, and yet Kirk just stared at him.

“Hey buddy!” Kirk said. “You mind your own business.”

“You don’t get to decide that!”

I watched as the two got into a fight that started in Kirk hitting him right across the face. What was going on? What was literally going on? “How about you leave my friend alone?” Greg said, adjusting his neck from the punch, as Kirk rubbed his cheek as he stared at me with a sneer on his face.

“Or else?” Kirk said as he stared at me and then looked back at him, smirking again. The hall was filled with a surprised crowd, with phones lighting up the hallway, as students stopped what they were doing as they watched the fight. I noticed a few teachers who were nearby watching as well as one who was sitting at his desk on the side as well.

It was only a matter of time before this was broken up.

But then, Greg sped in with a kick, hitting Kirk right in his gut as Kirk stumbled back before falling to the floor. Everyone in the hall was stunned, watching as Kirk hit the floor and then rolled over and over before landing on his back. Then Greg walked over, his hoodie over his head so that no one could see him I guess.

Smart.

But then he stomped his foot on Kirk’s leg, and he rolled over onto his belly again with a groan. As I saw that, I thought, “What was that for?”

The crowd gasped again, and all I could do was watch as Kirk stood back up, walking over towards Greg again as I watched with anticipation and excitement-and fear to see how the fight would end. But Greg was my friend, and I needed to protect him, but I didn’t want to get in trouble.

But then Greg threw two punches, one right and one left, hitting him in his stomach and in his chest with a grunt as Kirk stumbled back again, falling on his backside again, and then fell onto his stomach again. Then to finish it off, Greg stomped on Kirk’s chest. He bent over and looked at Kirk, “Now get out of my sight before I beat you again,” he said before turning around and leaving the scene quickly as everyone watched on with astonishment and excitement at what happened in front of them.

I looked at Greg with shock and wonder, as he whispered, “Your welcome.” He walked off again, as the teachers rushed over to the scene, asking what happened. They seemed concerned as they looked at Kirk’s face and checked to see if he was alright. One of them looked at me and said, “Why don’t you get to your class?”

I nodded, walking away in complete confusion.

I had no idea what just happened but that was unlike Greg at all. He would never do that to someone, nonetheless Kirk. Kirk was like the big man to be afraid of, but instead now-Greg beat him up, now giving himself the crown.

But here’s where I’m worried alright. He had his hood on, knowing they would definitely see the videos and start pulling people for questioning. It was only a matter of time before I was called to the office.

But what if they find him because of his voice, and he didn’t even think to not change his pitch or not even speak at all. I’m sure he’s not gonna wear that hoodie anymore, but will they ever find out who Greg was?

Honestly, I think I would rather get molly-whopped by Kirk than let Greg get a suspension, or get expelled. I know that Greg isn’t exactly himself right now, but I don’t want him to go away forever. Sure, we’ll be friends outside of school, but he’s my only anchor to actually thinking about attending school.

That’s why I wanted to beat up Kirk, so that I could finish it easily-with my Perk-and I wouldn’t need Greg all the time. Greg’s now getting the fame, but it’s only a matter of time before I lose my chance and my friend.
