Anton Brotherhood novel Chapter 6

The boy with tiny eyes goggled at Jasper and yelled, “You want to fight, don’t you? Go away! I don’t have time to waste on you.”

“Don’t stare at me like that. Actually I’ve been wondering if you have ever opened your eyes!”

The boy was irritated. He hated people laughed at his tiny eyes. He was outraged, even a new student dared to do so to him. He rolled up his sleeves, preparing to fight them. Anton came between them, “Hey, lad. Sorry about that. He’s new here. We’ll park elsewhere.”

The boy ignored Anton. He pushed him away, “What? You think I’m fine with that? Piss off. You fatty, I’m going to beat you!”

Jasper could feel his rage burning inside him. He hated to see someone insult Anton and strangers to call himself fatty. This boy unluckily hit both points. Jasper did not say anything, but came in front of the boy and slapped him hard. The boy was driven back by his power, seeing stars dancing before his eyes.

“Fuck you! How dare you hit me!”

“No. I just want to teach you a lesson,” Jasper said. He kicked the boy on the belly, making him unable to stand and had to sit on the ground. Jasper stepped forward, kicking the boy hard.

The slim boy wanted to help his partner, but he was stopped by Bruce. Bruce looked around at Anton. Seeing Anton was smiling, Bruce knew what to do. He said to the new boys, “Bros, come to warm yourself up!”

These boys were no weak ones. They hadn’t taken any action just now since Anton didn’t say a word. Now that with Bruce’s order, they surrounded the lanky boy, smirking. One of them said, “I’ll go first!” He kicked the boy’s leg, so he couldn’t stand still.

“Stay like that!” Another man grabbed the lanky boy’s hair and dragged it down. The boy felt a sharp pain on his scalp and bent down. Other boys swarmed forward and beat him.

At that time, a teacher-like man walked in with his bike. Everyone stopped. They were still afraid of teachers since they had just graduated from middle school. However, that man pretended not to have seen them, locked his bike, and strode away.

Jasper was puzzled. He asked Bruce, “Is he a teacher? Why didn’t he say a word?” Bruce shook his head, “God knows. This stupid school is quite weird!” Everyone nodded.

Anton looked at the two boys squirming on the ground, “That’s enough. Let’s go!” They followed Anton and walked to a much bigger parking lot which was far away from the former one. They locked their bike and came to the playground. There were now many students. Jasper murmured, “Quite a lot of students go to his school!”

The students stood in groups on the playground. Except for the girls, most of them had a cigarette in their hands. Anton thought most of the young hooligans gathered here. He felt excited about it because he loved challenges. What he was thinking was to defeat them.

Anton and his people stood in the front. His boys were also gathering there. After a little while, there were around forty of them. Anton said to Jasper, “Jasper, go and look for the rest of our boys.” Jasper nodded, but he just stood there and yelled, “Those who follow Boss Williams! Come here!” His voice could be heard all over the playground. Bruce next to Jasper felt a pain in his eardrum. He kicked Jasper’s ass, “Fuck! Boss told you to look for them, not to yell here! You’re making me deaf! “

Jasper grinned and said proudly, “How’s my voice? It really kills, doesn’t it? I think I should be a tenor.”

There came a clatter behind. Jasper’s yell worked. Many of their boys ran to them.

However, several curses sounded nearby, “Who the hell was that? Shut up!” “Who yells like a ghost?” Hearing this, Jasper went pink. He shouted angrily, “Hey, assholes! I did it! Come to me if you have the guts!”

Anton waved to give his boys a sign. They all got it, leaving Jasper alone. Anton didn’t expect to make trouble, but his agitation changed his mind. He didn’t stop Jasper because he also wanted to show off his power in front of the new students.

Some angry teenagers came to surround Jasper. A student in blue said, “Fuck! It was you, right?” Jasper screened him, curled his lips and said, “You’re not qualified. Go away!”

The boy in blue was in a towering rage, ‘This guy’s as fat as a pig himself. How dare he say I’m not qualified?’ He was trying to punch Jasper directly, but Jasper grasped his arm immediately. He slapped the boy with the other hand, which was so powerful that the boy was pushed down on the ground. Jasper was quite fractious. He had been a helpful assistant of Anton as well as an experienced fighter.

Jasper looked around and yelled, “Who’s next. Be a man! Don’t be a coward! Come on!”

Jasper’s words irritated the groups nearby. Around seven people came forth to surround Jasper. “What? Want a gang fight? Good! Let’s do it!” Jasper’s face looked twisted and hideous, scaring his enemy.

They considered Jasper could not win, since he was all alone. So they concealed their fear and went for Jasper, fighting in a huddle. Soon several people had scratches and blood on their faces. Anton nodded at Bruce. Bruce dashed forward, grabbed the collar of one, lifted him up, and punched him hard on the belly. The boy groaned and curled up. Bruce threw him away with his might and grabbed another one.

Bruce and Jasper flattened these boys. Those who tried to escape were blocked by Anton’s fellows, and they all kicked them hard. Seeing those boys all lying on the ground, Anton motioned his boys to stop. Jasper wiped the blood on his mouth and grinned, “What a great fight! Anyone? Come on! Ha, ha!”

Students nearby all lowered their heads. They were scared when they glanced at the seven boys’ bloody faces. Jasper suddenly got worried, because he remembered Anton had said that they shouldn’t make any trouble too early. He thought it was doomed, but when he looked back at Anton and saw him smiling at him, he felt relieved. He straightened up and yelled again, “I know some of you are discontent, but do you know who we are? Our head is Boss Williams from No.2 Middle School! Think twice if you want to fight against us!”

Some of the students muttered. They all heard of Anton Williams, a new bully of No.2 Middle School who had attempted to build up a gang nearby. At that moment, the school’s speaker sounded, “All new students assemble in the playground. Class sorting is beginning…” They stopped chatting and lined up. Those on the ground were helped up by their friends and stood aside.

A few minutes later, several teachers walked out from the school building. The leader was a bald man in his 50s, holding a small speaker in his hand. He stepped on the platform in the front of the playground and spoke, “Hello, testing…Testing…” He was pleased with his sound, giving out a cough, and said, “Hello, my fellow students. Er… I’m your headmaster. Well, here I welcome all of you to our school on behalf of the entire faculty! Er…Er… Our school has a long history…” He gave a very long and dull speech, most of which was about the history of the school and a small part of which was the school’s prospect. The rest was full of discourse markers. Finally he said, “Now, er, our dean would like to say something. Let’s welcome him!”
