User blog:MichaelDiaz101/Michael's Final Year At Bullworth: Part 4

By the start of the next week, following Michael's fight with Johnny the jealous lover boy, everything had been normal. As breakfest was underway the group all gathered in the cafeteria, with Michael and Charles entered in a friendly banter to end all friendly banters.

"Well, you see Charles was over there drunk as a motherfucker, not helping me as a leather jacket-toting badboy was beating my face in." Michael retold the story, whilst having to relent from breaking up into laughter.

"You could've called on me for assistence!" Charles retorted.

"Dude, I had to carry home." Michael stated. "You were so drunk you couldn't even walk." He joked, and the whole group roared with laughter. Even shy little Edgar was laughing at Michael's facetious nature, and he was the most quiet member of the group.

Finally Michael noticed Tad coming into the room, with his rich posse. They sauntered over to the table that Michael and his friends were at.

"Michael!" He announced, which gathered the attention of anyone within earshot. "I have it under the impression that you vandalized my precious car." He said.

"Hey, like you can't pay to repair it." Michael remarked. Finally Tad came over and slammed his fist on the table, which startled everyone. "Look at this short little shit, getting all pensive." Michael sarcastically remarked, forcing a laugh from everyone in the cafeteria. At this point Michael noted that Edgar had snuck off elsewhere to avoid being detected by his 'faction'.

Michael rose from his seat and looked down on Tad. "Is there something you want to try, little boy?" Michael taunted him, Charles had Michael's back on this. Tad didn't seem even remotely imposed by this. Michael noticed Parker was with them, and he didn't even seem to care for his previous friendship with Michael at this point.

At this point Patrick Davidson joined Michael and Charles, and finally the Preps decidely went the other way.

Michael, Patrick, and Charles all took their seats. "Those rich fucks." Charles muttered.

"Hey, it's alright." Bradi made a move to appease her friend, though Charles still held that grim look on his face. Michael knew of this look better than anyone. He had that look on his face when he challenged the assistant principal to a fight and nearly beat his brains in.

"Where's Edgar?" Jimmy asked.

"He went off to go hide with his rich assholes." Charles replied, pulsating with rage.

"Hey, Edgar isn't one of them." Bradi attempted to ease his anger. She wasn't like Nicole in that respect, who could pacify a lion from consuming a gazelle, but she was surprisingly effective. Just seeing Bradi do this had reminded him of how Nicole always kept the gang together when she was around. Finally Michael rose from the bench and told everyone that he was to go on a walk, and after bidding them farewell left the lunchroom.

Wandering down the steps of the main building the clouds had already blocked out the sun, leaving the area of Bullworth shrouded in a form of darkness, though Michael preferred it. For him the coming before the rainfall was his favorite time.

As he walked up to the dorm he bumped Devin and almost stumbled to the ground.

"Hey, watch it fucker. Want me to beat your ass again?" Devin taunted, he held that angry stare that only someone such as Devin could maintain.

"I don't want to fight." Michael said, quietly. He was in no mood to fight. This time Devin and his friends began to assemble. Michael noticed that with Russell graduating many of the Bullies had formed into the rankings of Devin's group. Among them was Troy, Wade, and Tom.

At this point Michael was keenly aware of what may happen next, the rivalry both Michael and Devin shared was too much to just let each other pass. Michael was too frustrated, and saddened to really be interested in fighting Devin. Still Devin appeared to use Michael's destitution to his own gain.
