Chapter 2 - Chapter 2--A Bully But A Charmer

It's September 9, 1994. "Xavis! You need to wake up." The teen boy who is now 15, instantly wakes up after hearing his brother wobble his small house and screaming for him to wake up. "Ow! Ok, ok..you don't need to do that again. I'm up..But my gosh. I'm tired.." "I know..I'm tired too. But you need to come over to the kitchen. Mom is making breakfast before we go to school. "What! What's she making?" "She's cooking up some eggs and bacon. 

"Oh ok..then, I'm definitely getting up now. I need to change and brush my teeth first. You can go without me, Xavier." "Thanks bro..!" "You're welcome.." Xavier leaves the room and Xavis prepares for school. He also puts on a blue shirt with plain blue jeans. Yes, you guessed it. Ultimately, Xavis's favorite color is blue. 

He makes his way to the kitchen by going on a small train that drives so fast to the kitchen. He doesn't need to walk to places anymore, which is nice. It's called a Teeny train. Xavis also has Teeny wings. They are these tiny gold wings that can make a tiny person fly. It was an invention made by his father, Fisher Silverthorn. Fisher didn't care about his kids but he had a creative mind.

"Hey, mom! Good morning!" "Good morning! I made you breakfast. Your favorite, bacon and egg sandwich with 2 small slices of pancake on the side." "Thank you!" "You're welcome! Eat while you still can. The bus is coming soon. Do you want me to carry you up to the table?" Xavis's mom said, happily. "No, it's okay. I can just go up the stairs." 

"Ok, son." "Anyway..who is that guy you keep talking to?" Xavis said, curiously. "Um..I didn't want to tell you yet. But his name is Eddie Jones. He's an amazing firefighter. He likes to be the savior of everybody else. He's amazing!" 

"Oh, wow..mom. You're finally going to date the one!" "I can't say he's the right one yet, Xavis." "Ok..I'll just eat now. I need to go in a little bit." Xavis said, while eyeing his breakfast. "Yeah, eat your food faster than Renny, The Skunk." "I can't eat faster than him, mom. And he's a cartoon character." "I know, sweetie. It's just a joke." "Sorry that I got mad again..I'm such a joke. Why do I have to mess things up." Xavis said. "You're not a joke, son. You just misunderstood it. That was a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes." "Ok.." 

A few minutes later, the bus comes and Xavis leaves the house. "Bye, mom!" "Good luck on your first day of highschool!" Xavis's mom said, while waving her hand back and forth. After the bus gets to it's destination, Xavis gets out of the bus and is on his way to bully the town. No..stop thinking that you'll get bullied. You'll be fine.. Xavis thought. He walks to the school building. And as he is walking he sees shoes coming at him. "What..No.." Xavis looks up and sees a teen girl with a smile looking down at him. "Hi! It's me, your mentor. Sorry that I scared you for a bit. I do seem intimidating to everyone here." "Hey..who are you?" Xavis said. "My name is Serenity Sherrill. I'm just a humble girl that likes helping everyone out. My friends call me Seren, so you can call me that. Nice to meet you!" "Can you carry me.." Xavis said. embarrassingly. "Oh..of course, freshmen! I'll be willing to help anyone out." picks the little teenager up and walks to the doors at the front of the school. She goes in and shows Xavis all around the school. She also talks with Xavis. "I'm tiny..I can't do anything here." "There's no way you can't do anything here, dude. Yeah, you're tiny. But that's not a problem. Otar High School accepts everyone. This school accepts borrowers in this place. Reg likes to eat and possibly carefully stomp on the tiny kids in this school. It's just for fun. Sometimes it's because he's hungry and likes to be playful. Sometimes, it's just because he likes to be a bully." "Who is Reg?" "Oh yeah. You don't know who that guy is, since you just moved here." Seren said, tentatively. "Um..yeah.." 

"Don't worry, little guy. His name is Reginald Garrington or just Reg for short, is the school bully. He goes on anyone's heads and messes with them. He is so mean. He's also usually mean to anyone smaller than him. Especially little guys and ladies. He also secretly puts his human classmates in his mouth just to mess with them. It's horrible. And no one can do anything about it because his dad owns the school." Seren said. "Ok.." 

"This school is called Otar High School for a reason. Otar Garrington made this school and passed the ownership of it to his son. Then to his grandson and so forth. It got passed down. Now Reginald's father, Evan, owns it. Reginald is also royalty too. His grandmother, Rina The 1st, is the queen of this country now." Seren said, narratively. 

What is this country called? It's called Oloon. It's named after the one who founded this country, Silverthorn Oloon. It's next to Canada on the right of it. It was made by Silverthorn himself. He magically made this land appear after he died. There are theories about this. One saying that when Silverthorn died, he became the land and watched the people over it. But it's just a theory. Legend says when someone becomes a criminal here, Silverthorn teleports that person to a void and they stay there forever. Xavis already knows this though. Since it's popular knowledge that anyone should know now. When Seren is done with the tour, she stops and waves bye as she is going to her class. "Ok..I made my first giant friend, I guess. But I never said my name! No..worst first impression ever..! And she's kinda cute too." Xavis starts walking but then stops when he hears someone shouting as he walks to his locker. "Ahh! No! Don't beat me up! I'm tiny. That's not fair.." "Ok..then I'll eat you up." "What, no! That's even worse, Reg! And why are you even doing this? I didn't do anything!" A tiny teenager boy with glasses said. "Yes, you did. You talked bad about my best friend!" "No..I didn't. Your friend just said that to spite me and so you can beat me up." "Keep making up those stupid excuses. It makes you look even more quilty, pal.."

Then, Reg picks him up and instantly puts him in his mouth. "Let me out! I'm sorry. Even though I didn't do anything.." Reg closes his mouth. "Mmm..delicious..Looks like you'll be swallowed!" "Ok, ok! I'm so sorry, Reg! Just don't swallow..please. I have a life. You do too."

"Do you really think I'd swallow you? I'm not that cruel!" "Yes, you are!" "No..I'm not, tiny!" "Spikes!" The boy let out his spikes that are on his back. He lays down. 

"What..?" Reg pauses for a moment, but then feels the pain on his tongue. "Oh, ok. That hurts, Max..Ow, ow!" "That's what you get.." "Agh..just get out!" Reg gets Max out of his mouth and slaps his face. "Ow..that hurt." "Ha ha ha! Now you feel my pain!" Those spikes hurt a lot, Max. Now I'll hurt you even more for making me feel that pain." Reg puts Max down on the floor and almost stomps on his legs, but he stops after Valorie, his fake girlfriend shoots a love arrow at him. "Stop bullying Max! This is not fair. What did you do?!" "I feel woozy now. I need to go to a hospit-" 

"Oh my..are you okay?" Max said. Reg carefully falls down to the floor. Max sees this and runs away. But Reg opens his eyes in a few seconds. His eyes have love heart shaped symbols in his eyes for some reason. "Come here. I need to have some time with you now!" "What?" "Just come!" Reg said, with passion. He picks up Max and transports him to the bathroom. Xavis saw everything and it was a little bit weird seeing that. "I'm glad that they got along in the end." Xavis goes to the bathroom to see how they are doing. And they're doing good alright. More than alright. Max and Reg are both happily kissing each other over and over again. Xavis stops watching this and goes to his class. "Oh gosh..that's kinda gross. But I like that Max and Reg aren't fighting anymore, I guess.." Xavis makes his way to the classroom. "I didn't need to see that..But is this the right room?" 

Xavis looks at his schedule paper. "Oh, ok." Xavis said as he opened the door and went into the classroom. "Hi! Sorry, I'm late.." "No, it's okay. I didn't say much when you weren't here. You can just take a seat." The teacher said, Xavis then took a tiny seat at the back and listened. Yes, there are seats for the tiny students too. "Hello class! My name is Mr. Stonegrim and I'm going to introduce the basics so you can get started. You can call me Mr. Stone. This is your first lesson. Unleash your powers on these holes on the wall right here." What?! Aren't you a history teacher? Xavis thought. "Yes, class…I am a history teacher. But I am also a power fitness teacher. I'm your teacher, so I'm going to teach. Everyone in the class starts cheering and then starts zapping their powers on to the small hole first. Then each kid works their way to the last bigger hole on the wall. Xavis looks at everyone doing it and he's scared already. One kid taps him on the shoulder. Xavis turns around. "What?" "Hey man…Hi…My name is Max! Me and Reg came to class late because of...stuff…" "Ok…and is it okay if I ask why we need to do this?" "This?" Xavis nods a yes. "Maybe It's because we need to enhance our powers." 

"But I don't have a power" Xavis said, embarrassingly and shamefully. "But you do. Everyone who is in this class has a power. Or maybe you're in the wrong class.." "Oh no. Maybe I am in the wrong class…I need to talk to the teacher." Serenity sees Xavis walking to the teacher's desk. But someone is about to step on him. "Wait, Xavis! No, stop! Someone is gonna step on you." "What?...Oh my gosh!" Serenity uses one of her two powers. A rope power. She pulls out the rope and throws it over Xavis, so he can go on it and be brought up. "Hold on!" "Ok…Seren" He puts his hand over the rope and it pulls him up. The foot then stomps down to that same place. "Ugh…Serenity..you took the fun away." "What..you did that on purpose?!" "Um…of course I did. He's so uselessly tiny. I just want to play a little." Well..you're not gonna do that when I'm around. Just go to your stupid friends or something." "Whatever...and you are mine..don't forget that!" "No…I'm not, Collin. Can you go?" Collin walks away from Serenity and she looks down in rage. "He was going to kill me.." Xavis said, while shaking. He also looks up at Serenity. "Yeah, I know..he's the worst. Just don't think about Collin. Collin thinks I like him too. And it's so weird. I wouldn't like a guy who likes to bully little people now." "Sorry that I'm tiny. I never asked for it. My dad turned me this way." "Oh, your dad did it. I thought it was in your blood. Like Max..Max is a descendant of Ardenous. His family became tiny because Silverthorn wanted to defend himself at least a little…It was his land afterall. Yes, the Ardenous were royals…and are still royals but the kingdom fell apart so then they took Sir. Silverthorn's land behind his back...he was in another dimension..so…the Ardelon kingdom took that land. Along with the Garlon kingdom."

"Yes..all of that is true..But no..I wasn't always this tiny. I wasn't always that useless. "You're not useless, bud." Seren said with a sad look. "I guess.." "Don't you have powers?" Seren said curiously. "Did you not hear me before? I don't have the powers anymore. I did have it but my dad stole that power from me because he was greedy." "What..oh my.." "Yeah.." "Wait..don't you have a magic ring?" "Yeah. But I've never needed to use it ever since-...the dark times. And it would make me sad if I use it again. It's so hard…" Xavis said. "Well…use it anyway. Because you're going to get a grade for this…um…" 

"What?" "What's your name?" Serenity said. "My name is Xavis. Sorry that I didn't say it before." "It's okay. I know you were nervous and maybe too insecure about it. I'm glad that I know your name now though." "Like I said before, I don't have a power, sadly." "Every Oloonian has a power. Everyone has this class. Just at different periods. Silverthorn Oloon gave these powers to us." "Well, I don-" Xavis accidentally shoots a beam of light at the wall. It blasted only by a little leaving a black mark of ash. "What?! How did I do that?" "I told you! Uh…I'll use my Powerpedia." "What's that?" Xavis said. "It's a handheld device that tells you everything about power. It can also scan people I guess. But you can only see people's powers with it. No other information." "Got it, Seren!" Serenity gets her Powerpedia out of her pocket. She scans the black mark and it shows the info on the screen. "This is the exploding beam power. The person that uses this power is at level one. Level 5 is the hardest, as you can make a big explosion with this power if you go that far." the powerpedia said. "Oh my gosh. I actually have a power. I guess I just didn't know about it because my dad took one of my other powers away. I stopped using powers instantly." "How many powers did you have?" "Somehow I had 4. Now I guess I have 3." "Bro, everyone usually has 2 powers. Why are you looking so down on yourself?" Serenity said. "Because I never let my powers come out because of that trauma I got from my terrible dad. And I think my dad made me forget that stuff with his forgetting powers." "Let's stop talking. Just use your new power!" Xavis wriggles his hands but nothing happens. "Um…But I don't know how to do this. It's not working." "I think you just need a push!" Max said. Then he pushed Xavis. He released his power in one of the holes. "Wow…you did it, man!" Max said. "Yes, Max. I did do it…But don't push me again." How did you get on this desk, Max?" Reg said as he eyed over the group. He's sitting on the desk next to Serenity. "The stairs duh.." Max replied, sternly. "Oh, ok." Serenity cups Max with her hands and puts him on her ear. "Did you and Reg really kiss?" Serenity whispered."What? Where did you hear that? I didn't kiss anyone. Especially not the school bully." Ma whispered back. "Well, Valorie Mittens did already tell some people and it got around to the whole school. "No…at least it's just a rumor and nobody actually thinks anything. I don't want someone telling my parents about it. They are " "It's not just a rumor, Max. Valorie took a picture of you kissing Reg and is probably going to black mail you to do something." "Why do you think that? And wasn't she just nice to me earlier?" Max said. "She has the multiple personality power. She can switch personalities quickly. She's not a mean person. Someone makes her do these things. They change her from being nice to mean all the time. I don't know who the person is, but they're trouble." "By the way, Reg doesn't know. After he kissed me for a little while, he put me on the ground and left. Then he opened his eyes and said "Bye, nerd!" 

"Reg isn't going to like the whole kissing thing. I'm pretty sure he's straight." Serenity said. "Oh..I thought it wasn't just the love arrow that Valorie shot." "At least he doesn't know." "Yeah…" A teen boy then came into the classroom. He has black ragged hair with a little dyed blue on top. It's Reginald. The boy Max didn't want to see again. "I guess he's a bully but a charmer." Serenity said. "What did you say? He's not a charmer." Max replied angrily and stubbornly. "I mean, he has girlfriends on the daily and just broke up with one to get with Valorie. But it's more of a fake girlfriend thing." "But that doesn't mean anything. He's not a charmer. He's not all that." "Yeah…Just keep telling yourself that."
