Enter the Dragon

2 - Big Dragon Brother

I felt really cheated and a bit regretful about putting my finger in Jennifer's pie just now. I should have let her scandal be discovered by the people in school. How regretful I am now.

I promised Jennifer Lee that nobody would know about her embarrassing things, but what was surprising was that the whole class had known that thing the next day and the students of our grade were also discussing it heatedly.

You know how awkward it is that your own embarrassing things are discussed, especially when you are a girl. Adolescent children are always troubled by common things in the long run because they are not deeply involved in the world.

I felt a surge of dizziness. A deep sense of powerlessness occupied my mind. People with experience will understand that feeling, uncomfortable, with a hot face, always feeling like someone is talking about you behind your back. You don't know what they are saying, but you do know that they are not positive words.

When I entered the class, a student gave me a thoughtful glance and said that I had done something that exceeded my abilities. He said that Jennifer Lee would be the girlfriend of Big Brother in the future.

I don't know who Big Brother is. But as the school cultivates gangsters, Big Brother must be a powerful presence in my school. The person was Jackson Smith, who glanced at me. He was a punk in my class and categorized the problem students by teachers.

"What are you saying? What have I done?" I said.

Jackson snorts coldly and tells me "You will be beaten after school!"

I was very upset so I ignored his warning and cursed, "f**k! Get out of here now. I don't want to see you again."

Jackson was also a bit angry when he saw me scolding him, so he came up and kicked me directly. I was a first-year student here and did know a few people in the class, so I didn't dare to provoke him. He kicked me, and I sat back in my seat as if nothing had happened, without making a sound. However, I clearly felt that many people were looking at me, and I felt quite uncomfortable.

Looking at the empty seat of Jennifer at my side, my heart began to feel a bit uneasy. I felt that after Jennifer's scandal was spread, she must have misunderstood me and thought I had poked it out.

When the first class was over, Jennifer came to school late as expected. As soon as she entered the room, she came to me angrily, slammed her small schoolbag onto my desk forcibly, and cursed viciously, "Benjamin Schwartz, are you a son of a b***h?"

Of course, it wasn't my idea. But just as I was about to say it, I still felt a bit guilty. So I stuttered when I answered Jennifer. "It's not me, really not", I said.

When Jennifer heard me answer unconfidently, she became even more convinced that I had told away her embarrassing things. I felt my heart was struggling even more, my face must not be very good. So she said, "I will beat you after school violently. Just wait for that."

"OK, just do whatever you like", I said angrily. I showed my kindness to her to help her go home originally. But now it was more like I had a shocking event. How can she wrong me like this? I had to ask myself uncomfortably in my heart.

Jennifer Lee picked up her backpack, sat back in her seat, and began to cry on the desk, crying for two classes continuously. After that, she left again without attending class in the afternoon. Maybe this incident punched her deeply in her mind. During adolescence, being criticized gives us a feeling of life and death because we all need self-respect. It is more serious compared to boys for girls. Anyway, since that incident, Jennifer has never worn a white skirt in class again, and it lasted until graduation when I farewell the city and my classmates.

That evening, when school was over, a large group of people came to block me at the school gate. I looked around and found that there were about ten students, but they were not good students. They were like some kind of jerks in school.

Jennifer Lee was also there. Her face was still pale, without blood color, and her eyes were a bit swollen. She should have been crying for a whole day, I thought. Her appearance makes me feel quite hurt, feeling wrong, and feeling a bit sorry for her, even though it is not my fault.

The person standing next to Jennifer had long hair and also a pretty face. He was wearing black short sleeves even though summer was almost over. He was still wearing black short sleeves, probably trying to show off his body and muscles. There are indeed two big pectorals on his body, but that's because he is too thin to show off. I had a certain impression of the black short-sleeved person. Someone who wore a glass told me before that the black short was the leader of the Five Little Dragons, the Big Dragon Brother. He was courting Jennifer Lee and held an important position in our grade.

There is a poker game called Jack. The name varies across the country, and in our local area, it is called the Five Little Dragons. Five little dragons are the most fierce cards. If those who hold these cards win, they can earn double the amount of money. The five people were a group of jerks from our school, and they are quite useful. They dared to call themselves 'Five Little Dragons'. It's quite pretentious.

The jerks next to the black shorts were all centered around him, and there was also Jackson Smith among them. Without waiting for me to react, Jackson pointed at me and said to Big Dragon Brother, "f**k! Boss, that's Benjamin!"

"Catch him." the black short said.
