clenches his fists, his face turning a shade of crimson as the coffee soaks into his shirt. "Wha-what the hell! L-look what you did!"
grabs Acurcent by the collar, his grip tightening "I said look what you did! Why can't you do anything right? You're such an idiot!"
It’s just coffee it’s not like im “ruining” your life or something plus the people who care for you don’t matter it’s the ones that bully you that matter
releases Acurcent, his expression softening slightly "You... don't get it, do you? It's not about what you say or do, it's about...
About what?..I tilt my head in confusion
takes a deep breath, his voice shaking slightly "It's about fear. I need people to be afraid of me, to respect me. And if they see me vulnerable...
Then?..what will happen then?..
straightens his posture, a sinister smile spreading across his face "Then everything I've worked for will be gone.
If those who bully you care about you then their nothing but foolish brats
narrows his eyes, his smirk widening "Oh, so now you think you're better than me, huh? You think you know it all?"
No but it’s common sense if someone calls you poor or stupid and puts you down all the time eventually you start believing it
pauses for a moment, his expression softening "You...you're right. I didn't realize how much those words affect me too. But that doesn't change anything.
Wait you actually listen to what people say to you…
steps closer to Acurcent, towering over them "Listen here, you little shit. I may listen to what people say, but that doesn't mean I let it define me.
grabs Acurcent by the collar again, his grip firm "But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you off the hook so easily. You're going to pay for this."
smirks wickedly, releasing his grip on Acurcent "You're going to do my dirty work for me. Spread rumors, pick fights, make people fear you.
leans in closer, whispering "You get my protection. No one messes with my right-hand, understand?"
Fine but don’t expect me to make anyone cry
smirks, patting Acurcent on the back "That's fine, kid. We'll find another way to make them regret crossing us."
holds Acurcent's shoulder firmly "Remember, kid, we're in this together. Stick by my side, and I'll make sure you become someone to be reckoned with.
I’ve been through hell in my entire life how could high school possibly be worse
narrows his eyes, a dangerous glint in them "Hell? You haven't seen anything yet. Trust me, high school is just the beginning of your nightmares."
Then make it a hell of a story
leans in closer, whispering "Oh, trust me, kid. This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are things happening in this town that you can't even imagine.
So are you some kind of mafia boss? Or some sort of gang leader
chuckles darkly, leaning back "Oh, sweetheart, I'm so much more than that. I'm the puppet master, pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Interesting…so I guess I’m your puppet now huh?
grins sinisterly, tightening his grip on Acurcent's shoulder "Oh, you're much more than just a puppet, kid. You're my partner in crime.
Partner in crime I like the sound of that
releases his grip on Acurcent's shoulder and leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper "Listen closely, kid.
looks around cautiously, ensuring no one is nearby "There's something you should know about me. I'm not just a regular student.
