Unknown Being

It was now about a month and a half into the school year and things were worse than anticipated. Vince and Kayla were rude to the two siblings, as usual, but the new relationship between them made for plenty of taunting and jokes.

Vince was in Matt's history class and before class started, Vince said, "I can't believe you got adopted by her parents. You don't deserve them."

"Oh would you quit talking about that," Matt huffed. "You've mentioned it enough times, Vince. Shut up and leave it alone."

"Has she tried to suck you off? Oh wait, that's incest. Oh wait, she doesn't care. She's a little slut and she'd just love to do it to someone." Matt felt a surge of anger within at teh words against his best friend and sister.

"Don't you dare call my sister a slut, you jackass. You're kind of like a slut yourself, you know, with all the girls you've managed to bone since the start of last year. You're a player, a man-whore."

There had been chatter in the room but it then became silent as Vince's temper made itself ready to explode. "What did you call me, loser?"

"You're a man-whore, a player. These girls don't actually want you, Vincent. And what about Kayla? Are you seriously at the low level of openly cheating on your 'girlfriend?'" The whole class was in shock at Matt's brash statements. They watched with bated breath as Vince stalked right up to Matt, standing inches from him. Vince, being the taller one by four inches, looked down into Matt's eyes. Matt tried to not let his fear show. He was used to Vince but he knew he'd be lying to say that he wasn't still intimidated by the taller teen, who was captain of several sports teams for the school.

Vince held his hand up to Matt's face, his thumb and index finger pinched together very closely. "I am this close to letting you have it, faggot. You better watch your fucking mouth."

"Make me, tough guy," Matt challenged, refusing to back down. He moved first, shoving Vince backward to ready himself. He knew he was initiating a fight but he didn't care. Matt wasted no time, rushing forward to hit Vince with a solid right jab to the chin. He attempted to get a left hook but it didn't connect fully as Vince had recovered and shoved Matt back. The fist still connected but only grazing its target. Vince snarled, flying in with a flurry of punches that caught Matt off-guard.

Vince grabbed the front of Matt's shirt, slamming the boy's face into his rising knee, breaking Matt's nose almost as soon as the two made contact. Matt screamed in pain. Still no one moved. No one spoke. No one made any attempt to get help. They were all petrified. vince extended his leg, causing his steel-toed boot to go into Matt's groin with terrifying swiftness. Matt let out a blood-curdling scream as the most sensitive parts of his body were violently assaulted. Vince let go of him and Matt slumped to the floor, barely conscious. Vince glared venomously down at his victim, the steel part of his boot above Matt's head and the heel above the trachea. Two other guys, realising what he was going to do, rushed forward instinctively and tackled Vince to the ground a safe distance away from the shorter 16 year-old with a loud crash.

"What the fuck," Vince bellowed.

"HE'S UNCONSCIOUS, YOU JACKASS!" they yelled in unison. "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM IF YOU DO THAT!" The football players in the classroom, totaling four, tasked themselves with restraining Vince before he could finish off his victim while emergency services were called by a student.

The school was evacuated as the ambulance and a police cruiser arrived. Matt was loaded onto a stretcher and then into the ambulance, which then sped away, lights flashing and siren piercing the air. A pair of police officers had a violently struggling Vince in handcuffs and were roughly leading him to the black and white Dodge Charger police cruiser. He was shoved into the back seat, held and buckled in, then the door slammed shut and the cruiser left for the town station, siren wailing and lights colouring the sky.

Notes

Whoa, drama has begun. Will Matt be okay? Has he learned his lesson not to challenge Vince like that?
