Atom & Lily

Chapter 8:Oliver vs Gerald



I had Gerald's fist right in my hand, I wanted to end this peacefully as to not attract attention to myself like sophia said. I peacefully lowered his fist and he look angrily confused, "I've heard about you Gerald, leave the girl alone, she hasn't done anything bad." I said thinking I ended the confrontation as peacefully as I could... suddenly... Wham!, I was knocked on the ground, I could hear Gerald's snobby voice tell me "Who are you to tell me what to do? I am Gerald Dallas the Third, I can suspend you and your girlfriend there with the snap of my fingers!" I got angry just from hearing his stupid snobby voice and I was even more furious knowing that he was able to punch me to the ground but I didn't let it end there. "Atom! Hold him back!" I yelled to the top of my lungs to signal Atom, "You got it boss" Atom said as he rushed towards Gerald, I began to grow Atom's Claw and walked up to Gerald, I point one of my razor sharp finger under his chin, "If you ever think of bully or even hurt Lily one more time I'll end your life in a heartbeat!" I told the Snobby Brat, he looked like he was about cry, I recalled Atom and walked to the school gates with everyone looking and talking about me.

The Day ends, I see Lily bright and happy, "Hey, Oliver!" I hear her say, I see that she has a detention slip in her hand, "Great work pal! Helping me fend off Gerald like that!" She said like it was all planned, I stayed silent, "Oliver?" She confusingly said, "Lily." I furiously said, "Are you trying to use me for your own personal gain?" I asked her with a angry tone in my tone, she looked confused, "what? don't be silly pal" she told me, "Why exactly would you have me at your school then?!" I yelled as I began to interrogate her, "Oliver?" She said to me but I couldn't hear it from my rage filled voice yelling at her, "Listen here Bunny Girl!, I am on a life or death mission to take down the bastard that ruined my life, I don't need some school girl to interfere with my mission!" I yelled at her, she stayed quiet, I would've said more to her but spared her, I began to walk off.

-Atom's POV-

I appeared without Oliver's command, I floated towards Lily who looked like she was about to cry a river, "Don't cry Lily" I say trying to comfort her, "Oliver has always been a cold hearted person for as long as I known him." I tried to explain to her. "Days after I met Oliver something must have snapped in his brain to change him from a shy and weak kid to a Hot-headed, cold-hearted kid he is today." I explained some more, "Don't take it personally Lily, he just needs to cool down.", Lily wiped her tears and thanked me for explain Oliver's anger, if it was up to me I would try to give him anger management but I think he'd try to kill me if I did. "Alright Atom, I'll probably see you tomorrow, I need to get home now." Lily told me, I waved bye to her and went back into Oliver's conscious, I could sense Oliver was still angry at Lily but somewhat sympathetic for yelling at her to the point of tears, I knew Oliver had a soft spot for her.
