The teacher was done teaching them by now and had left their classroom. Ryan kept everything he needed to bring out of his bag due to the teacher’s teaching back into his bag after she left their classroom.
All he was waiting for while sitting in his seat was for closing hour to reach so he could head to where he planned on heading to. He couldn’t wait.
******
Ryan was on his way to one of their houses right now, either Mile’s house, or Liam’s house.
The moment it got to closing hour, he didn’t waste time standing up from his seat and leaving the classroom. He didn’t even explain anything to Dylan…there was no time for that.
He’d explain everything to him tomorrow…
‘Whose house should I head to first?’. Ryan thought to himself while walking.
Yes, he wanted to decide that right now, he needed to know which person’s house he was going to head to first out of the two of them.
He was still walking while contemplating. And after a few more seconds of contemplation, he finally decided. He was going to head toward Liam’s house first.
That was the decision he’d made. After Liam’s, then he’d head straight to Mile’s…
‘I hope I’ll meet them at their various homes’. Ryan thought to himself while still walking.
He kept on journeying, and right now, he’d gotten close to Liam’s house. Getting close to his house made him start feeling a kind of anger.
As he was getting closer to it, the anger was increasing. Thinking about the fact that they ruined his life in many ways was what was making him angry.
This fact was just too painful. He knew what he’d gone through these past few months…the bullying and so on.
..It hadn’t been an easy experience at all.
And all these happened to him due to what they did to him. He kept on journeying and getting closer and closer to Liam’s house until he finally arrived at it.
‘It’s been a while’. He thought to himself after arriving at Liam’s house.
After arriving at Liam’s house, he knew he needed to be careful. Now, there was a chance that Liam and his family might not be residing at this place anymore.
And even if they were still residing in it, there was a chance that Liam might not be around. And there was also a chance that Liam might be around and could come out of the house at any given time.
Now, this was what Ryan needed to be careful of. Since Liam could step out of the house at any given time, then he needed to make sure Liam never set eyes on him.
A lot would happen if Liam set eyes on him, it would be super awkward. There’s no way Liam would set eyes on him and wouldn’t recognize him…
And seeing him might make him believe that Ryan had come to get his revenge against what they did to him. If that wasn’t his motive, then why was he here?
That would be Liam’s mindset…and his mindset would be completely wrong.
Yes, Ryan planned on getting revenge against them in the future with the help of the system. But he didn’t visit their homes with the aim of starting the revenge.
He visited their homes to see them…the fucking people that betrayed him.
Liam setting eyes on him wouldn’t be nice at all. As known, he’d develop the mindset that Ryan came to get his revenge against them, and he’d start preparing even though his mindset was wrong.
He’d most likely inform Miles about it as well. So the both of them would begin preparing together though there was no need to do so now.
But who knows? They might still be prepared for Ryan when he was ready to get his revenge against them with the help of the system, and that could ruin a lot of things.
There was a difference in trying to get revenge against a particular person or people, and they aren’t aware of it and aren’t prepared at all and trying to get revenge against them, but they are prepared for you.
These were good reasons why Ryan must make sure Liam never sets eyes on him.
He was staring at Liam’s house, the main building. And he kept on wondering if Liam was around or not.
Maybe he wasn’t in town at this moment. Maybe he’d gone to one of the academies specialized in training benders so he could train his power and learn to make use of it properly.
Or maybe he was in town but wasn’t at home at this moment. It could be any of them…
“I need him to be at home”. Ryan muttered to himself while still glancing at the house.
He was somehow confused right now, was Liam at home, or he wasn’t? Yes, this was what was making him confused.
He kept on standing on a particular spot glancing at the house contemplating things here and there when the door to the house opened. A person was about to walk out of the house, so he was waiting patiently for the person to come out.
He was hoping the person that was about to step out was Liam. But he was disappointed because the person that stepped out was Liam’s mother.
It’s been a while since he last set eyes on Liam’s mother. He’d finally seen her again after years of not seeing her. Not like he was happy to see her or something, he didn’t feel anything after setting eyes on her.
In fact, he was wishing the person that stepped out of the house was Liam instead. Liam’s mother was still looking the same from the last time he set eyes on her.
‘Guess Liam isn’t around or something. So I just wasted my time coming here’. Ryan thought to himself while staring at Liam’s mother.
This was the next thought that ran through his mind, ‘Or is it that he’s around but doesn’t want to step out of the house because he doesn’t see a reason to do so?’.
And the moment that thought ran through his mind, Liam walked out of the house. Ryan’s eyes widened immediately the moment he set eyes on Liam.
“So he’s been around all this while”. Ryan muttered to himself with his gaze focused on Liam.
Liam didn’t just walk out of the house, he walked out of the house and walked straight to his mother as they began conversing.
As known, it hadn’t been that long since his mum walked out of the house as well. From the look of things, seems like they planned on heading somewhere together.
Liam was looking the same from the last time Ryan set eyes on him. And as Ryan kept staring at him, an annoyed expression started appearing on his face slowly as anger was building up in him.
Yes, the anger was building up in him because as he was staring at Liam, he was remembering what he and Miles did to him. He saw a smile appear on Liam’s face as he was conversing with his mother with a smile appearing on his mum’s face as well.
And seeing that smile increased the anger that he was feeling…
‘So he’s smiling. He’s happy after ruining a person’s life’. Ryan thought to himself while still staring at Liam with that smile still plastered on his face.
He kept on staring at Liam with immense anger in his heart when another thought ran through his mind,
‘I’m sure his mum doesn’t know what he did’.
By now, Ryan had fully confirmed that the both of them were heading somewhere, and he planned on following them without them noticing him.
They’d begin walking while still conversing with each other. And Ryan made sure to stand in a way that they didn’t see him while walking past.
After they’d walked some meters away from where he was standing, he began following them from behind. He was following them to see where they were heading to.
But the main reason why he was following them was because he wanted to keep glancing at Liam and feeling that anger that he was feeling right now.
Glancing at him and feeling that immense anger was just making him want to start working on taking revenge against the both of them. But as known, he wouldn’t be able to do so.
He’d have to wait for when the system says it’s time before he’d start anything concerning the revenge…
He was very cautious while following Liam and his mum from behind so they wouldn’t set eyes on him.
..As known, a lot would be ruined the moment Liam set eyes on him.
