Cherreads

Chapter 3 - Part two

Jake was looking around and then looked at the entrance to the school, as they were right in front of it, looking into the glass doors. The glass doors were heavily tinted to the point you couldn't see outside. He turned and noticed a group of four people walking towards them. "Yea they are the apartments I spoke of. Why? Do they not count as one?" Komodo replied and he also noticed the group of four heading for them. Komodo's eye opened wider, as Macy noticed, and he called to the group. "Jamie! Hudson! Jeremy! Katie!" He shouted loudly in his raspy and deep, energetic voice making him coughed in the after effect. One of the people apart of the squad,Katie, waved at Komodo with a large smile on her face making Amy's hand turn white with jealousy.

When the four people reached them Komodo introduced them. "So these are my friends that I made along the way while being here." Komodo said making a gesture to the four people. "That one is Jamie," he pointed at a tall 6ft, red haired girl with purple gemstone earrings and a face that spoke business. "She's a bit of a hand full, but she's really nice when you get to know her." He then tapped his finger onto another one. "Then we have Hudson. He's a giant of a man coming at a height of 6'8, but his strength isn't all he has. He's extremely smart and capable of making weapons from scrap. His blond-orangey hair is amazing though by the way." Komodo continued looking down at Hudson with a knowing looking making Hudson turn to Macy with a curious expression that read, "is he always like this?" Komodo then turned to a smaller man whose height was the same as Amy and had glasses on. His short unkept brown hair with a medium build made him look like nerd in some way making Amy chuckle. "This is Jeremy is the class nerd, but if mostly serous and not always the clown." Komodo remarked with a deep raspy chuckle sending shivers down Jeremy's spine. Komodo stepped sideways letting the blond girl, Katie to talk. "Hello! My name is Katie! I'm six foot eight and I'm Komodo's right hand man." Katie cheered jumping in the air and making Macy join along with her. Jack rolled his eyes disgusted by the thought of Komodo having a girl with the state he's in. Jake however was a little confused by the statement. "Right hand man? So that means she dating Komodo?" He thought with a hint of excitement thinking that Komodo will finally stay away from Amy. "Anyway since the introductions are done why don't you guys meet up at class, I have to show them where to get their uniforms." Komodo said with a hand gesture towards a curving hallway that leads to class. The four people nodded and answered, "As you command Scavenger Komodo." They all then stride away with slightly laughter as they talked about some joke the four couldn't hear.

Komodo then glanced around. His red crimson eye having a faint glow that moved in all directions with precise precision. He glanced down the left hallway in the from middle of the Dormitory and saw what he was looking for. "The sign." He thought. The sign was not so large, but also not so big. It showed the different areas that are in the left hallway. This was the South west side. He then started walking with a smooth grace that made the group speechless. He gestured for them to follow with a finger and they did. "For reasons you should and only know after today, so don't forget. Never go into the girls locker room. Understand?" Komodo said warning as they walked down the south west curve. The walls and ceiling were the same color as the dormitory hall, this made Macy mentally cry in frustration. "Where's the color? The nice school pictures?" She thought to herself while mentally punching a wall. Komodo noticed Macy's mouth twitch with annoyance and chuckled quietly. "I know what you're thinking. Where's the color? Where's the nice pictures? Unfortunately we don't do that here as we don't want people know who we are based off of looks. I don't know why we don't do color either, but I couldn't care less." Komodo said with another chuckle. He then spotted two signs saying, "Men and Women." He then pointed at the signs and said, "There. That's where your uniforms are." He then handed each of them a set of keys each had the number for their locker. "Thanks Komodo!" Macy cheered hoping it wouldn't be anything inappropriate. "Thank you for showing us and telling us." Jack chimed in reluctantly thinking of how pathetic this is. Amy only nodded her thanks and so did Jake. The four then slowly made their way towards the locker room.

When had gotten to the locker area it had split off into two directions. The left was the women's and the right was men's. "Oh well here goes nothing! Come along now Ames!" Macy giggle loudly as she grabbed Amy's hand and pulled her along. When they entered they both saw a bunch of other girls changing, all of them had a 6pack.

The two watched as the two girls sprinted along joyfully and they both gave a reluctant sigh. "Are you going in?" A voice said with a sneer making the two boys turn towards it. "What?" Jack said with irritation. A half smile half anger expression forming on his face like wild fire. Leaning against the side wall of the locker entrance stood a tall, brown haired you with wider than normal dark brown eyes, a stark contrast to Komodo's red crimson one. Although Komodo's eyes were way wider, Jake thought with a laugh. "And what if we don't? Are you going to just stare at us?" Jack retorted with a snicker, his veins protruding out from his head and neck with the tension. The brown haired boy's smile faltered slightly but quickly composed himself and walk towards Jake and Jack. He was the same height as the two boy and stared directly into their eyes like knifes stabbing a pillow. Other students started to notice this and stopped walking. They started to make a half circle around the entrance of the locker. Even the guys in the men's locker peeked their heads out to watch the situation and did the girls, after they put on a tank top and shorts.

Komodo who was sitting in a chair on his phone playing a shooter game heard running footsteps coming towards him and looked up. It was a girl wearing the standard black tank top and shorts for a school uniform running towards him with a concerned looked. "What is it, Jackal Shelly?" Komodo asked calmly standing up from his seat with a prestigious grace. His red crimson eye staring down at the girl named Shelly. Shelly stop sprinting towards Komodo, tripping as she caught herself in his chest. "AH! Super sorry commander!" Shelly blurted out with red cheeks and bowing from the waist down. Komodo only gave a nod of approval and gestured for her to continue. Shelly nodded and instantly composed herself. "Your two friends are about to fight Gerald Hollow." Shelly stated in a monotone manner. She pointed down the southwest hallway towards the locker area where more and more started to students gathered around. Komodo paused at the name. "Gerald? Shouldn't he still be inside the punishment department?" Komodo with a hint of curiosity. Shelly, however, shook her head. "He was released yesterday by General Daniel." She stated mildly. A small smirk coming across her face hidden from Komodo's view. To Shelly this was entertainment. A brawl is very recommended in the school as you are allowed to break their bones and so do they. Unless you're a psychopath and don't care about being broken, much like Gerald. Gerald was very much a psycho as when he and Komodo fought on the first day of the semester Komodo had broken both his legs; arms and cracked his spleen but Gerald still fought with a smile. This didn't freak out Komodo, however, as his body was completely broken. Ribs, Spleen, neck, arms, legs and hips you name it. He even had internal ruptures that were almost fatal if Gerald hadn't fallen unconscious during the fight. It took Gerald five months to recover and was sent to the Punishment Department for disobeying orders after sneaking out from school to drink beer. For Komodo it took a whole year and seven months to finally recover, but during that time he still trained his body to the max despite Kudos's efforts to stop him. Shelly remembered it very well as it was imprinted into her brain when she first came the school after Komodo two days later.

Komodo sighed with reluctance wondering what will happen to Jack and Jake, not that he cared for them albeit just slightly. He remembered feeling the fire burn his body, its flame peeling skin and licking his body as he tried to escape. The steam that emanated off of him showed the severity of the burns when he had got out of the fire pit. The only he felt now a days was hatred and anger. Yea he still loved his friends like a older brother, but the flames inside him burned bright than all things imaginable. He left Shelly's curious gaze on him, not that he could feel anything, and sighed again. "Yes, Shelly? What do you want to say." He said mildly looking at Shelly. Shelly coughed and replied, "Do you think we should stop them? Today is sparring day so shouldn't we keep their limbs intact for that event in class?" Shelly hoped for a kind and sincere response from Komodo as she knew those were his friends. Shelly could imagine Komodo holding Gerald by the scruff and tossing him aside to save his friends with a graceful essence, but that was instantly shattered as she heard Komodo laugh and say, "Nah, let them fight. It will be very painful to watch and also, to say the least, interesting." The tone was nothing Shelly imagined Komodo could produce. It was like merging cruelty, hate, death, betrayal and sadisticness all into one deep and demon like voice. Komodo turned with a chuckle and walked towards the commotion with Shelly skirrying behind him.
