Unforgettable revenge

(Eren's pov) I was nervous on my first day at the academy. I didn't know anyone there, and I was worried about making a good impression. I tried to look tough, hoping that no one would mess with me, but deep down I was scared. It didn't take long for things to go wrong. I was in the cafeteria, trying to find a seat, when I accidentally bumped into someone. "Watch where you're going, i***t!" I said furiously. He said calmly "It's alright. No harm done. By the way, I am not i***t. I am Noah". I was getting angry and said "Don't talk to me like that! You think you're better than me, huh?" Noah gave me a surprised look and said "What? No, of course not. I just think we should all be kind to each other". I said sarcastically "Oh, how noble of you. You think kindness will save you" Noah said firmly "I don't need saving, Eren. I just believe that treating others with respect and compassion is important". Eren said even getting aggressively "You're just weak, Noah. You let people walk all over you. You need to stand up for yourself!" Noah (standing his ground) and said "I am standing up for myself, Eren. I don't need to fight to prove anything". I got angrier and said "You don't get it, do you? You're just a pushover. I bet you've never even been in a real fight before". Noah was still calm and said "That's true, I haven't. But that doesn't mean I'm weak". I walked towards him and challenged him "Well then, let's see how strong you really are". Noah said as he sighing "Eren, there's no need to fight. We can talk things out like civilized people".I shouted "I don't want to talk! I want to see what you're made of!" Noah said (resigned) "Fine, if that's what you want. But I won't fight you out of anger or hatred. I'll fight you to protect myself and others, if necessary". I said while smirking "We'll see about that". As Noah and I were fighting, a group of teachers quickly rushed over to stop the altercation. One of the Teachers yelled "What is going on here?". I said (defensive) "Nothing, we were just having a disagreement". After noticing the commotion another Teacher opened his mouth and said "This doesn't look like just a disagreement. You both were fighting!". I crossed my arms and looked here and there to avoid them. "It's true, sir. We were fighting" Noah said calmly as he straightened his shirt. That first Teacher said while sighing "This is not acceptable behavior, students. Fighting is not the way to resolve a disagreement". I said bitterly "Well, what do you expect us to do? Talk it out like civilized people?" Teacher 2 nodded and spoke out "Exactly. You both need to learn how to communicate and solve your problems without resorting to violence".Noah said (apologetic) "We're sorry, sir. We didn't mean to cause any trouble". Teacher 1 said (looking stern) "Sorry is not enough, young man. You both need to take responsibility for your actions". Teacher 2 said (pointing at the classroom) "You will both clean this classroom after the academy as a punishment for your behavior". I was protesting "That's not fair! Why should I have to clean up because he can't handle a little disagreement?" Noah defended himself and said "It's not just me, Eren. We both made a mistake and we both need to face the consequences". The teachers exchange a look before nodding in agreement.Teacher 1 said firmly "That's right. You both need to learn to work together and take responsibility for your actions". The teachers escort us to the classroom where they begin to clean up under their watchful eyes. Despite my initial protests, we both work together and manage to finish cleaning the room. As they walk out of the classroom, the teachers give them a stern warning. Teacher 2 said (pointing at Eren and Noah) "Remember, students. Fighting is not acceptable behavior in this academy. Next time, we won't be so lenient". After the academy, my driver was waiting for me. I sat down in my car. My driver said "Are you ok sir?". I said "Nothing". Driver said while driving "But someone called your parents during your lunch break". Oh my god! Why are you taking revenge on me? As I walked through the door, I knew I was in trouble. My parents were sitting at the kitchen table, looking stern and disappointed. I had been in a fight at the academy, and I knew they had already heard about it. They had always been strict with me, and I was bracing myself for their taunts and criticism. "What happened today?" my dad asked. "I got into a fight," I said, avoiding eye contact. "Again?" my mom chimed in, shaking her head. "You know you can't keep doing this, right?" "I know," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "You can't let your temper get the best of you," my dad said, his voice firm. "You need to learn how to control yourself." "I'm trying," I said, but I knew it sounded weak. "You need to do more than try," my mom said, her tone sharp. "You're going to end up getting expelled if you keep this up." The words stung, and I could feel my eyes starting to well up with tears. I knew they were right, but it didn't make it any easier to hear. "I'm sorry," I said, my voice cracking. "I know I messed up." "It's not just about the fight," my dad said, his tone softening. "It's about the choices you're making. You need to start taking responsibility for your actions." I nodded, trying to hold back my tears. I knew they were right, and I didn't want to disappoint them anymore. "We love you," my mom said, her voice gentle. "That's why you still haven't told me that I am adopted" I mumbled that was enough for them to hear. My dad yelled "Who told you that?". I ran away towards my room. I sat in my room, staring blankly at the wall. The fight with Noah earlier today replayed in my mind over and over again. But it wasn't just the fight that was bothering me. It was the taunting from my parents that followed. They didn't accept me as gay. To them, their reputation was more important than their son's happiness. It hurt, knowing that the people who were supposed to love and support me no matter what, were instead ashamed of me. But I couldn't dwell on that for too long. My thoughts quickly turned to revenge. I knew I had to get back at Noah somehow. But I didn't want to use brute force. No, I had to use my mind. Tomorrow, I would come up with a plan to make him pay for his insolence. I would show him just how wrong he was to mess with me. And I would do it without using any sort of physical violence. As I lay down in bed, I made a promise to myself. I wouldn't let anyone bring me down. Not my parents, not Noah, not anyone. I would rise above it all, and prove to everyone that I was worth something. Even if it meant going against my own family. As I sat at the dining table, my parents looked at me with cold, disapproving eyes. I knew exactly what they wanted to talk about. "So, Eren," my father began, "we heard from some of our friends that you've been telling people that you're adopted." I took a deep breath, trying to control my frustration. "Yes, I am adopted," I said, my voice steady. "Why is that such a big deal?" My mother's face twisted in anger. "It's a big deal because we don't want people to know about it," she spat. "We have a reputation to uphold. We can't have our son going around telling everyone he's adopted. It makes us look like we're not capable of having our own children." I felt my blood boil at her words, but I tried to keep my cool. "That's ridiculous," I said. "Being adopted doesn't make me any less of your son. And it certainly doesn't make you any less capable of having your own children." My father shook his head, disappointment etched on his face. "Eren, we just want you to be normal. To be like all the other boys your age. We don't want any of this...gay stuff." I clenched my fists under the table. I knew they didn't accept me for who I am, but hearing it so bluntly still hurt. "I am normal," I said firmly. "And being gay is not a choice. It's who I am." My mother scoffed. "Well, you better keep that to yourself if you want to keep living under our roof. We won't tolerate any of that nonsense." I stood up from the table, feeling anger and hurt swirling inside of me. "You know what? I don't want to live under your roof anymore. I'll find my own place to live." As I walked out of the house, I knew it wouldn't be easy. But I was determined to be true to myself, no matter what it cost me. As I arrived at the academy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anger towards Noah. He had done something to me that I felt deserved revenge. So, I came up with a plan to keep him busy and make him late for class. During lunch, I convinced Noah to join me and some other friends for a game of basketball. I knew that he loved sports and it would be hard for him to resist. We played for a while and I intentionally took my time packing up my things so that we would arrive late to class. While Noah was busy playing games, I left there secretly so that I could reach the class early. Ten minutes later, As he walked into class, the teacher gave him a stern look. "You're late," she said sharply. "What's the excuse this time Mr. Noah?" Noah tried to explain that he was playing basketball and lost track of time, but the teacher wasn't having it. but he didn't say my name. She scolded him for not taking his studies seriously and for being distracted by trivial things. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I watched Noah get reprimanded by the teacher. It felt like my plan was working. After class, I approached Noah and tried to make small talk. But he seemed distant and upset. I could tell that he was hurt by what the teacher had said. "I'm sorry, man," I said. "I didn't mean for it to go this far. I just wanted to get revenge on you for something you did to me." Noah looked at me with a mix of disappointment and understanding. "You know, sometimes revenge isn't the answer," he said. "I forgive you, but please don't do something like this again." I nodded, feeling ashamed of my actions. I knew that Noah was right and that I needed to find a better way to deal with my anger and frustration. "Can we become friends?" I asked. "Ya" he said. After Noah forgave me for my actions, we started to talk and hang out more. I realized that he was actually a really cool person and I was glad that we were friends again. So, I decided to invite him to my new housewarming party. "Hey man, I'm having a party at my new house this weekend. Do you want to come?" I asked. Noah looked surprised but pleased. "Yeah, that sounds like fun. Thanks for inviting me." I smiled. "Of course, it wouldn't be a party without you." Next day,I'm currently busy decorating my new house and I can't wait for Noah to come over and see it. I've been working hard to make it look perfect and I hope he'll like it. It's going to be great to have him over and catch up on things. Someone rang the doorbell.
