He Is Not My Brother's

Chalks

I woke up with my left hand wrapped in bandages. Is this in my room? Yeah, it seems like it. The small table and the chocolate cabinet are proof of that. On the face of the closet was attached to my photo, M and an old photo of Father and Mother who took a small M.

I move out of the room. Uh! It looks like there are bruises and abrasions on some parts of my body.

"Away awake?" ask M.

In the living room I saw Jimmi treating Olie and Zack's wounds. I approached all three of them. Zack's face was slightly bruised on the right cheek. It seems Olie's wounds are worse. His temples were bleeding and his left leg was bandaged by Jimmi.

"Are you awake, Miss?" greet Jimmi.

"My name is Amy." I stared at that sharp guy. It seems like he's the only one who wasn't hurt at all. His face is intact.

Zack shifted her seat a bit then I sat down next to her. I saw M carrying something in the basin. Looks like the water is warm because there's a puff of smoke. After putting the basin on the table, M sat on the back of the chair beside me.

"Okey .. can anyone explain this to me?" tanya M looks at me, Zack then Olie.

"Actually I don't know why, but some Burhan High School boys sent a letter of challenge to the Eagle High School students." Zack took the hat off the table and put it on, "I didn't understand why at first, and then after school someone said they had beaten up Tata and Firgo. I just followed that kid with Olie to where it was."

"Then ...?" M cutting.

"They attacked us and of course we have to defend ourselves, right?"

Then M turned his head and pointed at me.

"And why are you involved, Am?"

"I was just passing by, and then one of the guys pulled and grabbed me until the redhead made me bleed" I explained.

"You've got a chance to run, right?" Zack looked at.

"Yes .. but 'I'm pissed at that guy."

"You used my technique, huh?" ask Jimmi. He finished treating Luka Olie. I should be in his position!

"It ... crushed the jaw with the knee. Mmm .. yes," I answered honestly.

M and Jimmi looked at each other. M seemed to ask Jimmi, did you teach him? Jimmi just shrugged his shoulders. The communication of the two people was already top level. They can speak without words.

"Whatever it is, we can't repeat it. This could ruin the name of our school and our parents. You understand?" ask M. No one's making a sound. But I still wonder why M can be on time. I wanted to ask her something, but was scared. So I concluded the question myself.

After that, there were rumors at the school. They said there had been a brawl and I was one of the people involved. Every student in the school looked at me in horror. They also want to get too close to me.

I wasn't really that excited this morning. I don't know, there's something stuck in my mind. About that fight. I heard the cause was a high school girl who was contested by one of Burhan's students and the Eagle, the Firgo.

Firgo is an XII level student. His face was pretty, white and he was tall. He's dating a girl he doesn't know who. Burhan's son also turns out to have a crush on the girl long before Firgo is created. Because he did not accept the woman he wanted to be with Firgo, Burhan's son challenged a fight and there was a battle on the bridge. At least that's what I got from my classmates. I really don't know. I thought maybe they would take revenge. It's awful because I'm involved.

The mood this morning was a bit cloudy. I guess I went to part. There are only a few students I have met. After parting ways with M, I headed for my class. Grade X.3. There was no one in the class. Today I went to picket. I put my bag on the table. As I moved, I saw Val and Sifa entering the classroom. They saluted and took a broom like I did. At that moment I saw some people running in front of the class.

"Am ... Amy ...!" M yelled and pulled my arm. "Come, come with me! You two too!" his orders were to Val and Sifa.

I don't understand what's going on and why but M keeps pulling me up and running fast. Sifa and Val got a bit overwhelmed chasing us.

Irregular M breath. He gasps.

"Listen, Am .. You and your friends stay here. Remember, don't go anywhere. Whatever happens. Understood?"

"But why?" I was curious and worried. What the hell's going on?

"Listen ... The children of Burhan—they are besieging our school!" M looked at me anxiously, then he headed for the door.

"You ... Where are you going, brother?" I'm worried, "What's their number?"

"There's no time to explain, Am .. I'll help other friends. Take care of yourself." M passed and closed the door. I ran after him but Sifa and Val's hands pulled me.

"Don't be stupid, Amy. We'd better be here" Val said. Sifa nodded in confirming.

"We should have reported to the teacher" I said.

"Too early. Even if the teachers came, it might be blocked by them. You know that brawl at Dragon High School was phenomenal, right?" Val grimacing. Seen frightened on his face.

"No! There were many victims in that incident. I don't want M to be a victim."

"We'd better pray it's not as bad as we think." Sifa grabbed my shoulder and stroked it. And Sifa is right that's all we can do.

I was hoping this was a joke that M made, or one of my nightmare collections. I pinched my own hand. It´s real. We've been here seven hours. From the morning came screams and moans from below. I can only guess what's going on out there. I can't calm down. I'm busy thinking about the safety of M, Jimmi, Olie, Zack, Lewis and the rest of my friends.

"We've been here seven hours. We have to get out" I said breaking the silence.

"Don't! We'll wait until your brother picks us up. Not necessarily outside safe, Amy." Sifa.

"No. The voices were gone hours ago. Anyway ... anyway .. maybe M ...." My tears almost spilled. I have no one else but him. I stepped closer to the door. Sifa pulled my arm but I brushed it off.

"If you're afraid, shut up here." I glanced at Val who had been silent since.

There's no one. Only joists, chairs and tables are messy and a few blood splashes decorate this school. Where'd they? Did they move places to fight? I walked past the shards of red, blood-covered glass. Waitaminute! Whatisit? The M watch? I picked up the kw brand digital clock. The glass broke with a splash of blood on the end of the hook.

"M! Where're you? Brother!" I tried to scream with all my might. There's no answer. Slender.

"M'S!" I ran towards the canteen, the toilet, the OSIS room, the gate. There's no one. I don't know what to do. It's getting dark.

Have you gone home, M?

I looked at M's watch. No feeling of crystal clear granules flowing on the cheeks. My body's slumping. I'm looking at the school roof. I don't know what I was thinking. I feel lost. I slowly straightened my body. My footsteps now feel heavy. Am I gonna lose you, M?
