Gavin wiped the dripping milk from his eyes, his hand shaking as he stared at Ethan. The smug smirk on Ethan’s face made Gavin’s blood boil.

“Pig! Pig! Pig!” Ethan began to chant, his voice loud and mocking.

The rest of the cafeteria quickly joined in, their taunts echoing off the walls. “Pig! Pig! Pig!”

Gavin’s chest tightened. He took a step forward, and the crowd grew quieter, sensing something was about to happen.

In the heat of the moment, Gavin raised his hand and slapped Ethan across the face. The sound cut through the room like a whip, silencing everyone.

Ethan stumbled back, holding his cheek. His shock quickly morphed into fury.

“You’re gonna regret that,” he spat.

Before Ethan could react further, Gavin delivered a punch to his nose, sending him reeling backward.

The system’s voice echoed in Gavin’s mind.

[Revenge System: Combat Mode Activated.]

[Guidance Uploaded… Execute Sequence Three.]

Guided by the system, Gavin followed up with a third blow, catching Ethan square in the jaw.

“Stop!” one of Ethan’s friends—Chase yelled, stepping forward to intervene.

But Ethan held up a hand, wiping blood from his split lip. “No,” he growled. “This is my fight.”

Ethan lunged at Gavin, throwing a wild punch, but Gavin sidestepped it with ease, the system directing his movements.

Before Gavin could counter, a sharp voice rang out. “Enough!”

The crowd parted, and Principal Moore stormed into the cafeteria with an angry look on her face.

“Ethan Brook. Gavin Smith. To my office. Now!”

Both boys hesitated, glaring at each other before reluctantly following her.

***

In Principal Moore’s office, both boys sat across from her, shooting glares at each other.

As principal Moore opened her mouth to speak Gavin and Ethan yelled like little kids.

“He started it!” they both exclaimed at the same time.

Principal Moore held up a hand. “I don’t want to hear it. I saw enough to know you were both involved. Detention after school—for both of you.”

Ethan protested immediately. “But Principal Moore, I have training! Missing it will mess up my position on the team.”

“One day won’t ruin your career, Mr. Brook,” she said firmly. “Now, get out of my office.”

They left, and Ethan’s friends immediately surrounded him in the hallway.

“You good, man?” one of them asked.

Ethan glared at them, his face still bruised. “I got detention. Because of him.” He pointed at Gavin, who was already walking away. “I’m not going to rest until Gavin smith gets what he deserves.”

***

Detention was a new experience for Gavin. This was actually his first and he hated it.The room was silent except for the scratching of pencils and the occasional cough. He sat alone, staring out the window, wishing the clock would move faster.

A boy from another grade approached him, a wide grin on his face. “Dude, the way you took down Ethan was incredible! Where’d you learn to fight like that?”

Gavin shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant. “I train a lot,” he lied.

The boy nodded in awe before heading back to his seat.

Gavin glanced over at Ethan, who sat a few rows away, glaring at him. Every so often, Ethan muttered something under his breath, but Gavin ignored him.

Finally, Gavin leaned back and smirked. “How’s your nose, Ethan? Still bleeding in defeat?”

Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “You think this is over? You’re gonna regret it.”

“Oh, I’m scared,” Gavin replied mockingly.

Ethan shot to his feet, but the teacher in charge snapped, “Mr. Brook! Sit down unless you want more detention!”

Ethan sank back into his chair, his face red with frustration. Gavin chuckled to himself, enjoying the small victory.

When detention finally ended, Gavin grabbed his bag and headed toward the school’s exit. But as he passed the restroom, loud screams caught his attention.

He stopped and listened. The murmurs grew louder, more frantic.

As Gavin pushed open the door to the restroom what he saw made his blood run cold.

    Gavin watched as Ethan stood over a chubby boy, gripping a mop handle like a weapon. The boy was cowering in the corner, arms raised to protect himself. Ethan swung the mop handle, striking the boy's arm. “How many times have I told you to wait for me after school?” Ethan growled, his voice hoarse and filled with anger. The boy whimpered, “I—I thought you weren’t going to train today because of detention!” Ethan didn’t respond. Instead, he raised the mop handle again, and Gavin could see the rage in his eyes. Before Ethan could land another blow, an idea struck Gavin. He quietly took out his phone and began recording.Gavin stopped recording, satisfied with what he had, and stepped forward. “Ethan, that’s enough.” Ethan turned sharply at the sound of Gavin’s voice.

    The store was half-empty as Gavin and Harrison walked in, each grabbing a cart. The weekend had finally arrived, and their highly anticipated house party was just a day away. Gavin looked around the aisles, mentally ticking off items from the list they'd made. "So," Harrison began, grabbing a bag of chips and tossing it into the cart. "How’s the invitation going? Did you send it out yet?" Gavin smirked as he picked up a case of soda. "I just posted it in the group chat before we got here. Should be buzzing by now." Harrison grinned. "Nice. This is going to be legendary. Everyone will remember this party. Especially after we make sure it’s fully stocked." They continued down the aisles, throwing snacks, candy, and drinks into the cart.

The minute he stepped into the living room, his eyes landed on Mr. Smith.“Good morning, Gavin,” Mr. Smith said,in a flat tone.Gavin forced a smile at the man who had adopted him eight years earlier. Mr. Smith had never been a father figure to Gavin, treating him like he was an outsider since the day he brought him to this house.“Good morning, sir,” Gavin replied. “I’m heading out to school now.”As he turned to the door, another voice cut through the room. It belonged to Mr. Smith’s wife. “Not so fast, Gavin,” she said in a hurried tone as ,she stepped into the living room.“You’re not going anywhere until you clear the lawn,”“Clear the lawn?” Gavin’s voice dropped. “But I have an important test today.

Do you have anything to say in your defense?” Gavin clenched his fists. “I didn’t do it,” he said firmly, his voice trembling as he spoke. “I would never steal.” Angela straightened in her chair, her face a mask of innocence. “I’m not lying, Mrs. Moore. I saw him take the money. If you don’t believe me, you can call Austin in.

He didn’t care about their stares. His focus zeroed in on Austin, standing by the school steps, his face was bruised and swollen from yesterday’s attack . To Gavin’s surprise, Austin avoided making eye contact and didn’t utter a single word as Gavin approached. Instead of his usual taunts or smug attitude, Austin simply walked away, blending into the crowd. Gavin attention shifted from Austin when he spotted Angela walking down the hallway.“Angela!” Gavin called out, catching up to her in the bustling hallway. She turned, her smile fading into a frown. “What do you want, Gavin?” “Why did you post that video of me?” Gavin demanded, in an angered tone.
