Ryan still had no no idea how everything went to shit hell.He had the best grades in high school. He had the Excellence scholarship for college which one in a million got for Quantum Mechanics / Physics on one of the greatest colleges on world with 4000 $ grant per year. He was considered a genius with IQ close to 170 with photographic memory.

So what,  With a letter from my current principal, i lost everything. He wrote to my college before my interview about exam malpractice. Boom  . . . in return they send me an letter rejecting my my scholarship. My mom cried lake of tears with intense verbal abuse and my step-dad got that look which is of a  bogus grin, which says so that's your great brilliance. Cant complain him, I always made his kids look bad on the house.

And the reason for all this, My best friend Eddy. F**k I still couldn't believe he betrayed me. He practically begged me to help him pass the test. he is the one who went and got that new headsets from the market which is the size of the buds with transmitter outside our classes. I practically wrote his whole examinations along with mine and when he is caught and threaten yo be barred he exposed my name, which got him cleared for coming clean. Funny thing is he hasn't even came to apologize. Fate, what else can i say.

'oh, how can it happen. that bastard ruined everything, is this how i raised him, mike' my Mom burst in to tears.

'It is not your fault Martha. A bad apple is a bad apple, what can you do?' my step-dad came with his support.

It has been a two days i haven't stepped out of my room. Thank the gods at least Izzy got some compassion to me, otherwise i would have starved to death. Izzy is Ryan's step-sister.

'Ryan i know you are a genius, you don't need some academic bullshit to be successful' She encouraged me from time to time. 

Anyway i have decided to leave home, just waiting for the night fall. i had packed some clothes nothing else. It is good i saved up some money or it would have been hell. There is still noises coming from the hall. 

'uf ..........' i sighed, mom still making a fuss.

i lie down on bed waiting for the house to quiet down. i don't know how much time passe, i fell asleep. When I woke up, it is half past two. Great, I must have missed my bus to the city. I sill got up to wash my face and ready to leave. i didn't see any point staying here anymore. I know i will miss my mom and she me. Of all the fuss she makes shows the love she has for me. But a guy got to do what a guy got to do.

I sighed 

In fact i already talk to a friend from mine from a chat group. He is  some running a website on on vintage products like old Chinese mugs and British watches, things like that. When I told him my problems, he asked me to go to him on the city, any way he needs some help running the business. Especially according to him "It's growing".

I was only happy to comply. I needed something now and he got me something there. I slowly sneaked out of the house and started walking to the bus stop.  

I was feeling crazy nostalgic while on the walk. I have never been away from my house. 

'Huh . . . Life' what else can i say.

'Oh ah . ..  he' suddenly i heard roaring laughter from the street. 

'F**k, it's that scum bag eddy' like always he is carelessly partying with his rouge buddies. I don't know what happened to me i started moving towards him in blind rage. i never acted like this before. it's like some possession.

'You f*****g bastard. Aren't you having the time of your life while destroying mine' I roared at him while pouncing. I didn't when i started hitting but when i realized he is already on the ground spitting blood. Next thing i knew was his buddies handling me. I was thrown on the ground after the barrages of their punches.                  

'Move away' eddy told his buddies while he kneeled on me to punch. he started beating after beating. i was in in despair, the bastard ruined my life and if this goes like this he will take my life too.

My emotions surged, i never felt anything like this ever, it is worse than i felt before, anger helplessness, loneliness all together. 

I yelled with all i got. Suddenly i could feel weight lift off me. 

Eddy is flying, I didn't know what to think. He is certainly soaring through the air. I felt weird all of a sudden, everything seems different. Not seems, it is like a feeling, like the whole world is moving. 

What the hell, i was bewildered. It is like 'awesome'

Ii could feel the wind, but there is no wind. it is air, it is moving minutely but i could feel it. Not just air there is water in the air, more like moister but i could feel it too. Not just that even the ground i was sitting feel like different like connected. i was mesmerized in the feeling while eddy's buddies started responding. They started kicking but couldn't find the mark it was like their legs are positive and i am negative, like a barrier of elements repelling them. 

I then wanted to shove them like i did to eddy, but don't know how to do that. I can feel the energies, but i have no control over them. It sucks.

And i suddenly felt dizzy 

'ooh, this is bad if pass out, eddy's buddies will finish me,' but it was not on my hands.
