"Yo, hand it over, where's my cash at?"
"Chill? Nah, that's not my style. Gotta keep the pressure up, ya know?" leans in closer to Sanders, intimidating him
jeez alright here take this $20 now leave me alone
smirks and takes the $20 from Sanders "Thanks, kid. You're learning to comply after all. Don't think this means I'm going easy on you though."
so why do you bully me anyway
laughs mockingly "Oh, why do I bully you? It's simple, kid. You're weak, you're easy to mess with, and it just adds to my own sense of power.
I get it but can we cool or will you be mad if we actually become friends
pauses, a rare moment of vulnerability crosses his face "Look, kid, you don't understand... If we became friends, things would change.
sighs "It's complicated, okay? But trust me, having you as a friend would complicate things. It's better if we keep it the way it is.
jeez alright sure we’ll stay enemies then
"Enemies it is then. But hey, don't forget who's in charge here. Just remember, cross me and you'll regret it." smirks and walks away
whatever dude I shove him playfully
grins and shoves Sanders back harder "Ooh, got some fight in you, huh? Not bad, kid. But let's be clear, I'm still in charge here. Don't forget it."
raises an eyebrow and smirks "You think you're tough, huh? Alright, tough guy. Let's see what you got." throws a punch at Sanders' face
he gets hit in the face but doesn’t bleed
laughs mockingly "Hah! Look at you, Mr. Tough Guy. Couldn't even lay a finger on you. Guess you really are as weak as I thought."
wait your hit kinda hard bro
steps closer, towering over Sanders "You think I hit hard? You haven't seen anything yet. Keep pushing me, and you might just regret it.
that was a warning shot man you don’t wanna go there
grinning mischievously "Warning shot, huh? Well, let's see just how much you can handle.
bro do you have super strength or something he grabs both of Jayden’s arms in one hand yea I didn’t think so
stares at Sanders in shock, his confidence wavering "What the... How did you...? This isn't possible!"
yeah you saw that’s all your strength go bye bye
struggles to break free, sweat dripping down his forehead "You... You can't do this! I'm in charge here!"
oh by the way I’m only using one hand
furiously tries to break free, veins bulging on his neck "Let go of me, you little shit! You're gonna regret this!"
a teacher passes by and says what seems to be the problem young men they stop holding each other
quickly releases Sanders and steps back, trying to act nonchalant "Oh, nothing, Mr. Johnson. Just having a friendly discussion." Mr. Johnson: narrows his eyes suspiciously "Friendly discussion, huh? Looks like more than that to me. Both of you, in my office. Now."
leans back in his chair, smirking "Alright, Sanders. We're alone now. Time to spill the beans. Why are you so strong?"
because…well…uh I guess it’s a family thing
leans forward, narrowing his eyes "A family thing, huh? Are you sure about that? Because I've never seen anyone in your family who could bench press a car."
well we don’t really get along and I haven’t seen them in 4 years since my parents divorced
leans back, chuckling "So you're telling me that your family secret lies in your parents' divorce? That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard."
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Fine, spill it. I'm all ears, Sanders."
pauses, his expression softening "Cancer? Seriously? Damn... I didn't see that coming. I'm sorry, man. I had no idea you were going through something like that."
it’s fine I’m being treated and doing physical therapy and everything and it’s just slowing me down right now but it ain’t stopping me
leans forward, placing a hand on Sanders' shoulder "You know what, Sanders? I respect you. I may act tough, but deep down, I have a soft spot for people who fight through tough shit like this. So, consider me your ally from now on. We'll get through this together."
