We can do this

I stood behind Leon, trembling like crazy.

"I can't believe you're back in school. I've missed you, ya know," Justin said, glaring at me.

"It's okay," Leon whispered.

I felt happy that he had my back; I felt safe.

"I don't think she's missed you," Leon said to Justin.

"What are you talking about? Of course she missed me, we've known each other since we we're babies." Justin said back to him.

I was still behind Leon, but this time I didn't feel scared.

I felt like I could do anything.

“You missed me, right?” Justin said, “After you were home schooled I felt lonely, ya know.”

At that moment I suddenly felt frustrated by his words.

“What do you mean you missed me?” I said, “You probably missed pushing me around like I was your toy.”

I didn’t believe what I said. It made me feel relieved.

“Oh…” Justin said. “And where did you get that confidence from?”

Justin walked closer to me, but Leon protected me.

“Tsk. I’ll be back.” Justin said.

Justin walked away. He looked like he was about to hit someone.

“Hey?” Leon said, “You okay??”

I looked at Leon and felt relaxed.

“Yeah, I’m okay,” I said.

“How do you know Justin?” Leon asked.

“Basically I've known him since birth.” I responded.

“Then why does it seem like you’re on bad terms with him?” He asked.

“He changed I guess." I said, "We were best friends for years but when he found his ‘crowd’ he bullied me a lot and did many other things to me.”

Leon looked at me with concern.

“Are you sure you’re okay?? You can tell me anything” He said.

“Yes, I’m sure.” I say, “Now let’s go home.”

Soon after I realized what I said I started feeling nervous.

I walked behind Leon, trying to hide my blushed-up face.

I heard a scream coming from the distance.

“Do you hear that?” I ask Leon.

“Hear what?” He said back confused.

“That scream.” I said, “You did;t hear that? It’s coming from Mainville.”

Mainville was the smallest neighborhood within Rostin City, all together their are 4 neighborhoods in Rostin City. I lived in Purcellville, the richest neighborhood.

“I heard nothing,” Leon said concerned, “Mainville is far from here, how can you hear from that far away?”

“I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling about this.” I said.

“Ok, then we should go see what’s going on.” He said.

We hurried to Mainville. I couldn’t stop even if I felt tired. It kept calling me. The voice of a child, crying for help.

We got there in 10 minutes. When we got there, it was a disaster. Everything was being destroyed.

In the distance was a gigantic monster. I notice that it’s holding something; I get a closer look. I could see that it was holding a little boy.

“Help! someone please help me!” The child cried out.

“That’s him, that’s that child who has been calling me earlier.” I said, “We need to help him!”

“And how are we going to do that?” Leon said.

 “Hmm.... Oh! How about using our powers,” I said, “Come on, we can do this”

 “Well, we don’t know how to use our powers, remember.” He said back.

 “Oh yeah, I forgot,” I said “Sorry…”
