It was supposed to be another beautiful day in the city of Bravefront. The birds were seen chirping, the trees were swinging, with a fresh breeze of the morning.
The shops were starting to open, and the stalls were preparing raw materials for the day.
It was a calm but moving day for the city of Bravefront. The calm before the storm.
In the UCP highschool, it was the time of early class for the the senior year students.
No highschool open this early. But it was normal occurance for the students of UCP high school. The most prestigious highschool of the city of Bravefront.
They had the highest scoring rate in the National University Entrance Test in all of Bravefront. To maintain that record and prestige. They are known to do pretty unconventional things throughout the years.
Like, one time UCP announced night classes, that will basically need the students to stay 24 hours in school and study under the strict supervision of the teachers.
The teachers were unforgiving, with their perfectly neat and tidy blazers and their frameless glasses, they look nothing short than what movies would define as a modern dictators.
In the roof of this perfectly prestigious highschool were sitting two boys, One with even a ciggerate in his left hand.
He was Jason, the problem child of UCP highschool. Jason was bit of anamoly in the highschool. Where every student spent their every living moment, trying to cram a little bit of extra knowledge in their head.
Jason spent his day in leisure.
Where every student, were trying to make connections with the children of goverment officials, and people in high order of the world.
Jason spent his days in the company of deliquents, and animals, specially dogs. He loved dogs, he even had a few dogs in his neighbourhood in his buiscuit payroll.
Jason can be justifiably called, a stain to the otherwise prestigious image, of UCP highschool.
But UCP highschool couldnt do much about him. Even though Jason was a deliquent, and spent his days in leisure.
He was the undeniable golden boy of the high school, with the undisputed longest streak of highest scores anyone has ever had in this high school.
School authorities were hoping to set a new record for the highest scrore, in the National University Entrance Test. This time a record even in the leagues of the best schools in the country.
Thats why, even with the problematic behaviour of Jason, the teachers were directed to ignore him, He didnt attend the classes anyways unless he just needed a place to doze off in the middle of the day.
It was what can be called a give and take relationship between Jason and the UCP highschool.
But Jason was not alone in his successfull endavours of his life. He has a best friend called Mike.
Mike and Jason were inseparable since childhood. Where there is Jason, there is also Mike.
Unlike Jason, Mike wasnot the highest scorer in tests, rather he can be called the bottom rankers in almost every rank list. But UCP couldnt do much about him either.
Nobody could understand, the reason behind this. Teachers were seen being fidgety and unnaturally polite while conversing to him.
While some people gave the credit to Jason, He was too smart to believe in such wishful thinking.
He knew, that it was like this from the starting. And he had his own theories regarding this matter but he never pressed Mike for an answer.
The one smoking the ciggerate in the roof of UCP was, Jason. They were continuing with their usual routine of hanging out in the roof early and waiting for the gaming arcades to open so they can play the League together.
"Man, what a hassle. Even though we dont attend the classes, why do they need us to sign our attendence each morning" Mike commented.
"I think they are just scared that we are going to ditch school altogether and drop out" Jason commented with a calm voice.
"They cant do much even if we wanted to drop out anyways ! rather this hassle of coming to school this early irks me to the end" Mike said with exhaustion and irritation dripping from his voice.
Jason didnt comment.
Jason despite hanging out with deliquents and roaming the city in the company of lower rugs of society was suprisingly cultered and well mannered.
He always maintained his appearance, dressed cleanly, cut his hairs every two week, with no peircign in his ears.
Jason is a tall young man, with his height of 192 cm or 6.3ft and his well toned muscles and his fair skin. Jason looked like a model if not for his calm appearance and personality he would have sure worked as a star idol in future.
Jason was smoking and leaning on the railing of the roof, with his face facing towards the main road running infront of the school.
the road wasnt really busy road, it had a normal number of passerby's passing throughout the day
Suddenly, Jason noticed a old man running through the road.
At first, Jason just took it as an old man doing his morning routine exercise. He didnt give it much attention at first.
But something looked really weird about the running old man.
Jason noticed that the pace the old man was running in, looked abnormally fast. It looked too fast to be a simple excercise.
He focused more on the old man pacing down the road. Then he started to notice the signs of abnormalities. The man looked scared
His face looks like someone who has seen a ghost. The man wasnt simply running in a straight line,
He was fumbling down the road. every once in a while, looking over his shoulders for something, or someone. Jason asumed.
Then Jason glaced at the road behind the man, there he saw a 5 year old girl running towards the old man.
Almost like chasing him down the road.
It looked comical at first, and any normal person would diffuse the situation to be a simple grandparent and child playing together.
But Jason observed the abnormalities. The little girl was running, at the pace of a bicycle. Jason has never seen a 5 year old running this fast.
Jason counted the stride length of the little girl roughly from the roof and he was further stunned with the abnoramally large strides the little girl was taking making her look more like a bipedal monster than a human.
Then the main shock came, the child caught up with the old man and tackled him down the road.
At this point some passerby's noticed the commotion this incidence was causing and stopped to see what is happening.
when the old man was tackled to the ground, a middle aged woman nearby was comming forward to help him and it looked like she was also saying something which Jason couldnt really hear from the roof.
But what the little girl did next, stoped the middle aged woman in her tracks. The child bit down on the the neck of the old man.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh !!" Jason could hear the screams of agony from the old man, even standing on roof.
Jason, stood rooted. Not understanding what just happened. his eyes stared unblinking towards the duo and his back was filled with cold sweat. But still the logical mind took over, he started analyzing the situation.
And started formulating his theories. was it rabies ? mental illness maybe ? or did the old man did something to infuriate the little girl this much.
Jason wished in his heart that it was end but alas he was bound to be dissapointed.
The little girl didn't stop with her assault even after a few minutes.
First she bit the nape of the old man, then as the old man tried to save himself by turning over.
The girl dug her nails in the old man's eye sockets.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" another heart wrenching scream sounded in the air.
Even thou the road was filled with passerby's not one person came forward to help.
Everyone was seen looking at the disturbing display with terrified eyes and a pale face. Everyone fears for their their life.
