Asa
Asa’s grandpa had once told him that his rash nature and tendency to act on impulse would get him in trouble one day.
It got Asa in trouble, all right. More than just once.
And it seemed like today was just another one of those days.
It wasn’t Asa’s fault. Not really. He just didn’t like it when Hunter Donoghue spoke. Or moved. Or breathed for that matter.
“Take that, pinche pendejo!” Asa’s fist landed on Hunter’s jaw with a sickening crack, and the linebacker stumbled several feet backwards, thrown off-balance. He was still standing and not sprawled out on the ground, though. Not what Asa would’ve preferred.
Hunter’s eyes flashed dangerously and, within the short space of two breaths, he lunged forward in a half-bent posture, ramming his head into Asa’s stomach.
Asa groaned, all air knocked out of his lungs for what felt like an eternity. Both of them stumbled to the ground, Asa’s back hitting the tiled hallway floors of Reichenbach High with Hunter’s heavy body pinning him down.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Asa shoved Hunter’s body off of him, muttering a string of colourful words in the process.
“You absolute piece of garbage.” Asa wheezed, his breaths coming in gasps. He clutched his abdomen where Hunter’s head had collided.
“Oh, grow the hell up,” Hunter sneered, his lips curling back over his teeth in a nasty snarl. “Trying to be the hero isn’t going to get you anywhere.”
“But bullying will?”
In answer, Hunter lunged at him again, but this time Asa had prepared himself. He used one of his feet to hook itself behind Hunter’s shins, sending him to the ground.
Hunter hit the ground with a strangled yell but it was soon cut off when Asa pounced on him, driving a fist into his gut in retaliation for head-butting him earlier.
“Dude, what’s your problem?!” Hunter grabbed a fistful of Asa’s collar and struck him with a closed fist across his face.
Asa’s head whipped to the side, but he only laughed in response to the question. “You,” he spat. “People like you are my problem. What the hell is it to you how much someone eats?”
Hunter struggled, but he eventually managed to throw an aggressive Asa off him, quickly moving back a few steps as the latter did the same.
Both of the boys kept their eyes fixed on each other, their well-muscled frames tensed in anticipation of another round of punches, kicks and blows.
“She piles her plate every goddamn day with food enough to feed an army!” Hunter rolled his shoulders back, a gleam in his eyes as he watched Asa with a smirk. “I was only asking her to leave some for the rest of
