Adrian's Awakening: Wake up in the magical world

44

Immediately, seeing them approach, Ally looked at Adrián, but he was very quiet, sitting on his usual desk, next to her and in the corner of the room. Ryan and his friends approached them with all the intention of the world to come, to make their lives impossible.

And they were going to get it, since he felt very proud of the choice of director Roxanne of having assigned them to comply with that important mission that rumors were already spreading throughout the academy, making Adrián feel less precious, the favorite of His teachers and the adopted son of the most important director of all time. 

"But look at who we have here. Ally and Adrián, the little birds of the year. Hey, Ally, what does it feel like to be the most quoted boy's girlfriend in the academy, for being a nerd and for being the adopted son of the director?", Ryan commented, using his same voice of resentful revenge in them. 

"Shut up, Ryan. Do you have nothing better than going to do instead of being bothered?", Ally replied that Adrián did not plan to say anything for defending against the boys who attacked them. 

Ryan and his friends laughed. 

"Ally, princess. What do you do with a boy like this? He does not give you the size you need" Ryan mocked, approaching her, sitting at the table of his desk and bringing his face enough to almost kiss Ally.

Ally was getting nervous that it was not going to happen what least wanted to happen at that time.

"Leave her still, Ryan! Do not approach you!", Finally, Adrián spoke.

Ryan released a mocking laugh, slowly turning towards Adrián with a look full of challenge. His eyes shone with disdain as he got up from the desk and approached him dangerously, making it clear that he was ready for the tension to explode at any time.

"What are you going to do, Nerd?", Ryan caused, his tone was cruel as ever.

Adrián remained firm, his fist is tight on the desk, but did not respond. Ally looked at him with pleading eyes to control, she was afraid that everything was going to climb even faster to something they could not calm. However, he could not help feeling that, somewhere inside, Adrián was fighting with something much bigger than his fear of confrontations.

At that time, Ryan leaned towards Ally, ignoring Adrián, and without prior notice, took her by the chin and forced her to look at him, bringing her face closer to her, as if she wanted to force her a kiss. Ally, with his heart throbbing and his eyes full of fear, he tried to get away, but Ryan did not yield.

Suddenly, before I could do anything, a strong blow resonated in the air. Adrián, with a contained fury, pushed him against the table, causing Ryan to stumble and fall to the ground, hitting his entire body strongly. 

The room was silent, everyone's eyes on the scene that had just been deployed in front of them.

"Do not dare to touch her again!", Adrián shouted, his voice was trembling with rage and protective determination.

Ryan got up quickly, furious, and looked at him as if it were the last obstacle between him and what he wanted. Without thinking twice, he threw himself towards Adrián, pushing him strongly. The fight began with rapid and grudge blows, the sound of their fists colliding with the skin and nerve murmurs of the students who had gathered around without knowing what to do to stop them.

Ally shouted, trying to intervene, but it was impossible. The chaos exploded in the classroom while the two boys hit each other mercilessly. Ryan had an advantage for his size and aggressiveness, but Adrián did not go back, every blow he received was corresponded with a fury that fed him even more.

"Enough!", Ally shouted, pushing each other, looking to stop them.

But Adrián, blinded by rage, did not listen to her. In a fast movement, he managed to give Ryan a direct blow on his face, making him fall to the ground again. The crowd was silent, observing the confrontation.

Ryan got up furiously, spitting blood while his friends approached to intervene, but Ally, with an accelerated heart, brought between them.

"Stop!", His voice trembled while looking at both of them, breathing with difficulty. "This is not worth it! I will not let it be hurt more for a simple act of cowardice!"

The tension in the air was palpable, but finally, Ryan backed up, throwing a last look full of hate before turning and leaving with his friends out of the room and looking for nursing. Adrián, was injured, but victorious, looked at Ally, not knowing what to say.

"Are you OK?", He asked, although his voice sounded loaded with frustration and jealousy.

Ally sighed, his body was still trembling with the adrenaline of the moment.

"I don't know if I'm, but... thanks, Adrián", he said, touching his lips, as if he could still feel Ryan's unexpected kiss.

Both were silent, breathing with difficulty, while the murmurs of the other students slowly disappeared. The danger had already happened, but something else, something much deeper, had begun to germinate among them.

Adrián looked at her, looked at his girlfriend touching his lips after having seen that unexpected kiss that was not given by him. And without further ado, he left the living room, was made in fury. He did not want anyone to approach him, he was so angry that, if Ryan was getting back into his way, this time, nothing would stop him and kill him without thinking. 

It was there when Professor Nichols and Roxanne appeared, they approached him, looking at him with concern because they had already learned, for the murmur of the students, what happened before.

He walked through the halls aimlessly, his mind buzzing with dark and confused thoughts. He needed to find a quiet place, away from everything, where he could calm down and process what had just happened.

It was at that moment when he heard hasty steps behind him. He stopped, turning his head, and saw Roxanne and Professor Nichols approaching with worried expressions.

"Adrián, waits", said Roxanne, gently, stopping in front of him. Professor Nichols also stopped by his side, watching him with eyes full of understanding.

Adrián looked at them for a second, breathing with difficulty, and then looked away, as if the simple fact of looking at them made him lose control.

- You're furious, I know, "said Professor Nichols calmly, her soft but firm tone. - But this will not be solved with violence.

Adrián looked at them, his chest up and down with each breath. The anger wrapped him, but there was also a part of him that knew he should calm down. His arm trembled, the fury kept burning inside, but something in the teacher's words managed to calm him, even if only for a moment.

"I know, professor", Adrián's voice was broken, as if he were struggling to control his emotions. "It's just that ... I couldn't stand it anymore, I couldn't bear that idiot kissed my girlfriend in front of me and more that was not stopped by Ally's opposition".

Roxanne, with a warm and compassionate look, approached another step. - How do you feel now?

Adrián breathed deeply and, finally, allowed his shoulders to relax, although his face was still marked by tension.

"I feel ... frustrated. And ... insecure ", he admitted, looking down at the ground. "I saw Ally with him ... and I couldn't help feeling ... jealous. Although he knew he was not reciprocated by her and that Ryan was only doing it to annoy us".

Professor Nichols nodded, understanding the situation beyond the obvious. - I understand. Sometimes, those feelings are difficult to handle, but the most important thing now is how you move on. Do you feel able to talk to Ally about this so that it does not happen again?

Adrián nodded, but his thoughts were scattered. Before being able to answer, Roxanne intervened: - We go to the infirmary. I know you need attention, and after what happened, we must make sure you are well, both physically and emotionally.

Adrián said nothing more. Somehow, I felt that I needed to solve everything for itself, but still accepted the offer. He knew that it was not only his body that needed care, but also his mind.

When they arrived at the infirmary, Adrián entered without waiting. But what he saw there hit him fully. Ally and Ryan were in front of him, too close to each other, sharing a kiss that he had not seen coming. The image paralyzed, rage exploding inside once again. But this time, something had changed. This time, the feeling was not just anger. It was pain.

Ally looked at him at the same moment that Adrián was about to turn to leave. His eyes met, and something in his gaze made him feel a strange calm. She looked at him with the hope she would understand it, but he couldn't process anything at that time. It was too much.

Without saying a word, and without anyone noticing it, Adrián left. He moved away from them, from them, from that academy that he no longer felt like his home, not at that time. The boy walked aimlessly, looking for a place where loneliness was his only company.

Finally, he found a section section, a dark and safe place in the limits of the campus. He sat there, hugging his knees against his chest, and let the tears, which he had been repressing, finally fell. Why did he feel so broken? Why did everything seem to crumble around him when he marched perfectly for him?

The academy, which had been its shelter, now felt like a prison. And, despite everything, I couldn't stop thinking about Ally and what I had seen. He wondered if things ever would be as before, or if nothing could return the peace he longed for.

He stayed there, only with his thoughts, while the world kept turning, oblivious to his pain.
