《Friend from hell》


 Chapter 1: The beginning

    I was sitting in my classroom reading a book. It was a horror novel, one about several friends trying to survive someone wearing a mouse mask. A smile slowly creeped onto my face when it was just getting to the good part until the teacher started to get everyone¡¯s attention. I rolled my eyes and looked at her as a kid came walking into the classroom with a smile on his face. Then the teacher spoke.


    ¡°Class I would like you to meet Mr. Ryan Ji. His family just moved here from America and transferred to our class today. I hope you guys will become great friends with him.¡±


    She then told the kid to come sit next to me, but I paid him no mind and kept reading my book. Making friends was never really my strong suit nor did I ever want it to be. People avoided me due to the scary vibe I gave them. Not even the bullies wanted to mess with me even though they hated my guts. I have been told over and over again by my own parents that I needed to smile more. I¡¯ve also been told by other people that the feeling they get around me is unsettling. I never received the thing called trust from nobody before, not even my own parents. Both of them are afraid of leaving me alone by myself because they think something bad will happen. They also fear me getting close to someone because they are afraid that something even worse will happen. Although, I should mention they aren¡¯t afraid of what would happen to me. No. They are afraid for those who would be on the receiving end.


    ¡°Hello, you must be Wang Yeowoon.¡±


    I looked to the side of me and tensed up leaning back. When the hell did he get this close to me?


    ¡°Oh it seems that I¡¯m right. Nice to meet you Yeo Woon I¡¯m Ryan Ji, I can already tell we¡¯ll be great friends!¡±


    Oh crap I have no idea how to respond. Wait a minute did he just say friends? Oh hell no.


    ¡°Listen here, I don¡¯t plan on making friends with you or anyone within this school. If you know what¡¯s good for you then leave me the hell alone.¡± I growled at him.


    Everyone in the class was quiet, even the teacher who is too scared to even call me out for my rude behavior.


    ¡°You should be more careful who you should trust. Especially when it comes to making friends.¡±


    ¡°I came over here because you looked like you were lonely and lost in thought. Whatever you were thinking about I wanted to know. Your attitude is something you gained because you never had a friend.¡±


    ¡°Persistent little rat aren''t you? If I say I want nothing to do with you then I mean I want nothing to do with you.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s make a deal. If you manage to avoid me for an entire week I¡¯ll leave you alone.¡±


    ¡°Easy enough.¡±


    ¡°You underestimate my drive to make you my friend.¡±


    ¡°And you underestimate my drive to make sure you leave me alone for the rest of my life.¡±


    After that no more words were exchanged at that moment. He sat down and we went through the class normally. Afterwards was a different story though. He wasn¡¯t lying when he said he was determined to make me his friend, however, I managed to avoid him successfully. When he saw me walking down the hallway while I was reading I made sure to get out of his sight and hide. He had no idea where I was at since I did it so quietly. Despite my quiet movements and me saying I want nothing to do with him I couldn¡¯t help but wonder as to why he wanted to be friends with me so badly. So every now and then I would stalk him after I avoided him.


    Throughout the entire week he never proved to me once that there was any reason for us to be friends. So once the week was finally over, he kept his word and gave up pursuing me. Though it is what I wanted I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little lonely without him telling me good morning everyday. Within a single month I managed to get back into my normal routine until I felt a little bored and decided to take a walk. As I walked I spotted Ryan sitting in the grass reading a book. I didn¡¯t really think much of it since he was smiling like an idiot as he read it. When I went to continue my walk that¡¯s when I saw 5 boys walk up to Ryan smirking down at him.


    Intrigued, I put my hood up and silently walked into the shadows. When I reached a corner I leaned against the wall and started to bite my nails. I watched them from the shadows eavesdropping on their conversation.


    ¡°What do we have here? The foreign exchange student?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Hey Ryan, what¡¯s this trash you''re reading?¡±


    The boy with the gray shirt then grabbed the book from Ryan¡¯s hands and flipped through it. The other 4 looked when the one with the gray shirt stopped on a page.


    ¡°Ew what the heck? Why are you reading about two boys kissing and doing inappropriate stuff?¡±


    ¡°Give it back.¡±


    ¡°And what if we don''t, what are you gonna do about it?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell the teacher.¡±


    ¡°Well look at that, it seems like we got a teacher¡¯s pet boys.¡±


    The boys then started to tear up the book and all of its pages which made Ryan yell and beg them to stop. Shortly after they threw the book on the ground they started beating Ryan. For some reason, I didn¡¯t like the fact that they were doing that to him. I started to bite my nails even faster to calm my nerves, but when they grabbed him by the hair I bit down on my nail so hard I made myself bleed. I couldn¡¯t take it anymore. I ran out of the shadows and took the hit for Ryan. I then grabbed the boy''s wrist and glared at him.


    ¡°Get your hands off him.¡±


    When they realized who I was the boy complied. All of a sudden there was a crowd of kids surrounding us to witness the fight between me and these 5 boys. You could tell by the boy''s facial expression that he really didn¡¯t wanna fight me but since there was already a crowd he ended up giving into it. However, before the fight could even start one of the adults came over and broke it up. It was clear that they were only worried about the 5 boys who started it in the first place. When those boys left I grabbed Ryan¡¯s book, knelt down, and handed it to him, smiling softly.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    ¡°Here. I¡¯m sorry about those 5, they are known to bully anyone that seems to stick out.¡±


    ¡°Yeo Woon?¡±


    ¡°Yeah it¡¯s me. Those guys are jerks aren¡¯t they?¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡­ but why are you over here?¡±


    ¡°I was taking a walk and saw you get beat. Even though I am not very good with people, ¡°I couldn¡¯t just stand there and watch you get beat.¡±


    ¡°But I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t, but when you weren¡¯t there saying good morning to me everyday I felt like something was missing. In reality I guess I was actually happy that you were the first person to actually attempt to make friends with me.¡±


    Ryan then let the tears he was holding back out. He then pushed my hand away which made me drop the book and grabbed onto my waist. Due to me not knowing what to do I just sat there and waited for him to finish crying. When he did he spoke and looked at me.


    ¡°My face hurts Yeo Woon¡­. Let¡¯s go to the nurses office.¡± He smiled at me weakly.


    After seeing that broken smile I couldn¡¯t help but get even angrier at the boys who hurt him. I then bit my nails thinking of what I should do with them then an Idea popped into my head as I smirked. I then hugged Ryan and looked at him caringly.


    ¡°From here on out I won''t let anyone hurt you. Those who have done you wrong will get what''s coming to them. Soon they will never hurt you again.¡± I smiled softly at him.


    ¡°Thank you for protecting me Yeo Woon.¡±


    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s what friends are for.¡±


    After recess was over Ryan went to the nurses office however, I didn¡¯t go with him. Ryan wanted to make sure I wasn¡¯t seriously hurt but I insisted that I wasn¡¯t and therefore he didn¡¯t force me to go into the nurses office with him. As soon as Ryan walked in I headed back to the classroom staring and stalking the boys. As a result of that, I learned their likes, dislikes, their fears, and even their favorite colors and names. Once I saw Ryan off at the end of the day I snuck into the principal''s office and found their addresses. I quickly wrote them down and left the school myself. As always as soon as I got home my parents paid me no mind which was perfect.


    I walked up the stairs and went into my room, locking the door behind me as I put my stuff down. I then went over to my bed and laid out the pictures looking at every last one of them. I then grabbed out some tape and went into my closet pulling out a butterfly knife. I then grabbed the pictures and laid them out on my night stand, setting the knife down, and spinning it. It spined and spined and spined until it finally stopped on one of the pictures. I grabbed the picture it landed on, then picked up the knife and headed over to my corkboard. I took the knife in my hand and stabbed through the picture as I smirked in my dark room.


    ¡°Han Don Sik. It looks like you¡¯re the first person to receive your punishment.¡± I mumbled to myself.


    I got changed into a black long sleeve shirt, pants, boots and even gloves to match my completely black outfit. I grabbed a plague doctor mask that I used for halloween last year and rested it on the back of my head. I waited until late into the night to sneak downstairs silently and take out a knife from the kitchen drawer. I made sure it was sharp enough to cut through human flesh. Once I made sure of that I left the house and headed over to Han Dong Sik¡¯s house. In order to keep me distracted I was practicing my pen twirling in one of my hands. The nose was subtle, but I wasn''t practicing to get better, no, I was practicing to make it silent.


    If you are able to take some that makes noise and make it silent then you can do anything silently. You can even make the loudest noise in the world silent without tampering with it. I soon arrived at the boys house. Once I realized he was on the second floor I clicked my tongue out of annoyance. That made this mission harder, but not so hard to where I can''t complete it. I then walked around the house and saw an open window through the back. I smirk as I then quietly make my way through the window, landing on the kitchen floor. Right when I was about to make my way to Dong Sik¡¯s room I heard a noise. I looked over and saw that the dishwasher was running and I smirked.


    I then walked to the dishwasher and opened it up. When I looked down I saw that knives, and forks all had their sharp sides up. I gently pull out the bottom with the knives and forks. Once I did that I heard footsteps coming this way. I quickly hid but when I realized he didn¡¯t even bother to turn on the light I came out of hiding. When Dong Sik saw the dishwasher open he got confused and he bent down to close it. When I saw this, I ran as fast as I could, hitting the back of his knees which made him fall, and I grabbed a fist full of his hair and slammed his face down on all the knives and forks. Sadly none of the forks or knives hit his brain which annoyed the hell out of me. He was screaming and crying which made it feel like my ears were bleeding.


    Then there was a sudden ringing in my head but I soon got rid of it by shaking my head quickly. I then pushed the boy down on his hands and knees, stepping on his back, and tried to push the forks and knives into his face even more. However, the brat resisted which made me put my mask on, take my foot off him, and take out the knife I brought with me. Right when he was about to get up I stabbed him in the spine which caused him to fall to the ground and made the knives and forks go even deeper. When they were pushed deeper he screamed even more. I then got on top of him and started to stab him repeatedly until he stopped moving or breathing.


    I stabbed him over and over and over again for about a good 2 hours and once I was done I was covered in blood. I then took off my mask and lifted my gloved hand up to my mouth. I then put my index finger in my mouth and tasted Dong Sik¡¯s blood. It tasted bland which was something I expected from a kid who likes to bully the slightly different. I quickly left the residence and went home. Once I got back I cleaned off everything I was wearing, including the knife I used. I had to use peroxide since plain water wasn¡¯t really working on neither of my clothes nor the murder weapon. Once I was done washing my clothes until they were completely clean, I put them away and put the knife back as I soon went to bed.


    The next morning came and I was at school but there was a memorial for Dong Sik on his desk. I acted dumb and pretended like I had no idea what was going on. Since I really didn¡¯t know the kid I paid his memorial no mind and didn¡¯t even pay respects. When Ryan got here he looked over at me and leaned down.


    ¡°Hey Yeo Woon, have you heard what happened to Dong Sik?¡±


    ¡°Considering the memorial I see at his desk right now, I assume he died.¡±


    ¡°Yeah and his body was almost messed up to the point where he was unrecognizable.¡±


    ¡°Is that so? My question is, what kind of sick monster would go after a kid?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m saying. His older sister found him dead on the kitchen floor when she got back from her boyfriends.¡±


    ¡°What about his parents?¡±


    ¡°They were out that night for their honeymoon, they said.¡±


    So that¡¯s why no one decided to come and help him.


    ¡°The neighbors said that they heard him screaming last night but they didn¡¯t think anything of it because he usually screams around that time.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it explains why they waited until morning.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so scary, Yeo Woon.¡±


    ¡°I know it is but I¡¯m here for you Ryan.¡±


    ¡°How are you so calm about this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not. I¡¯m actually terrified. However, I don¡¯t wanna show it.¡±


    Ryan then hugged me tightly almost making me lose my page in my book as he then looked up at me.


    ¡°Though I know we''re just kids and can''t do much¡­. But you¡¯ll always protect me and keep me safe, right Yeo Woon?¡±


    ¡°Of course, that is what I promised yesterday, right?¡±


    Ryan didn¡¯t give me a verbal answer, he just smiled and nodded as he hugged me once more, closing his eyes. I then reached up and patted gently as I smirked over at the now 4 boys who hurt Ryan. Then I mumbled to myself to where only I could hear.


    ¡°One down, 4 more to go. Will your punishment come tonight? Or will it be postponed so I can figure out a different method of killing you?¡±
