Chapter 17: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:I should give him a taste of his own medicine
The morning sun filtered through the trees as Ethan, Ryan, Blake, Diana, and Bassam made their way to Beacon Hills High.
Today was different, though, as it marked Bassam's first day at the school.Bassam, wearing the school uniform,"First day in a new school... Feels strange," he muttered to himself.
."You'll be fine," Ethan said, giving him a reassuring pat on the back.
"Bassam smirked, shaking his head. "I can handle myself, but thanks for the backup.
"Ryan grinned. don't let anyone mess with you,let them know that we've got your back.
yean , especially someone like Billy , Blake said.
who is Billy , Bassam asked.
let's just a guy who's always on Ethan's case, Ryan said as he and Blake began to laugh.
guys it's not funny, Ethan said with a frown.
ok! ok! stop laughing , Ryan said but he and Blake bursted out with a laugh again.
he might be a problem for Ethan in the past, but if Ethan decides to be his problem now he wouldn't stand a chance, Diana said.
well that's true, because you are now the alpha, Ryan whispered into Ethan's ears.
at that moment I felt a familiar buzzing sound in my head and I opened the system..

I guess the system wants me to be his problem , Ethan said with a smirk.
what did the system say? Blake asked.
it said, I should give him a taste of his own medicine, I replied .
Billy is in soup , Ryan said with a smile as they walked.
we are here, Diana said as the school could be seen up front .
."They split up at the entrance, with Bassam heading toward the Year 4 classrooms and the rest of the group walking to their homeroom.
Inside the classroom, the chatter of students was the usual background noise, as Ryan , Blake and Diana walked into the classroom a lot of gaze followed their every movement.
jeez why the intense steer , Ryan said as we got to our seats.
what do you expect, you guys missed school for almost one week , Wally said as he walked closer to our seats.
hey man , I said to Wally as I patted him on the shoulder.
where have you guys been ? Tom asked as he walked over and stands beside Wally.
let's just say exploring the world, Ryan said as he spread out his hands.
at that moment a girl with pale skin, dark hair and a small face walked into the classroom .
do you know her , Ryan asked Tom .
nope , I think she's new, Tom replied.
Alright, class, settle down! We've got a new student joining us today. Please welcome Layla Blackwood."Mr White said.
"The girl with the dark hair stepped forward, giving a small, shy smile,"Hi, I'm Layla. I just moved here , it's nice meeting you all .
"Alright, Layla, go ahead and take a seat behind Ryan," Mr. White instructed.
Layla moved to her seat behind Ryan, and as soon as she settled, Ryan turned to introduce himself. "Hey, I'm Ryan."
"Hi, Ryan," Layla responded, offering a soft smile.
They exchanged a few more words before Mr. White suddenly addressed the group. "Ethan, Ryan, Blake and Diana – care to explain why you've all been absent for so long?"
They glanced at each other, quickly coming up with excuses. "Family trip," Ryan said. "We were visiting relatives," Ethan added.
Mr. White seemed unconvinced but moved on with the class.
The bell rang soon after, signaling lunch. Before Ethan or the others could say anything to Ryan,he had already walked off with Layla to the cafeteria. Ethan, Blake, and Diana followed, but they sat separately, keeping a watchful eye on Ryan and Layla from afar.
"What do you think about her?" Diana asked, her voice low as she observed Layla.
Ethan shrugged. "Hard to tell .
"Did you bring your jersey for the match today?" Blake asked, changing the subject.
Ethan smacked his forehead. "I forgot again , why do I always keep forgetting.
"Good thing I brought an extra for you," Blake said, I know you well.
After lunch, they returned to class. The rest of the day passed quickly, and soon, it was time for the soccer match. Ethan's class was up against the Year 2 students, and they arrived at the field a bit late, rushing to get ready.
Mr. Smart scolded them as they ran onto the field. "You boys need to be on time! Slacking off won't win you matches but the opposite.
Ryan, Layla, and Diana sat in the stands, watching the game.
I heard the system buzzing sound in my head and I opened it.
SUPREME WEREWOLF SYSTEM
(DAILY TASK :3)
Score at least one goal= 30 EXP.
Run thirty kilometers 2x=30 exp
Do sixty pushups =20 exp
Ethan smiled, knowing he had to get at least one goal. The game kicked off with intensity, the Year 2 students playing aggressively. Wally from Ethan's class scored the first goal after a swift pass from Ethan. Feeling the pressure, Ethan focused, dodging two defenders before making a clean shot right into the net. The cheers from his classmates echoed around the field as Ethan completed his first daily tasks.
One of the Year 2 students managed to score soon after, but Ethan's class kept up the pressure. With time running out, Ethan passed to Wally, who sealed the game with a final goal, ending the match at 3:1 in favor of Ethan's class.
Good game , next week on Monday there is going to be between the year three and year four , that's all for the day, Mr smart said as he left the field.
After the match, Ethan spotted Billy watching from the sidelines, his usual smug grin plastered on his face. Without missing a beat, Ethan walked over to him.
"Hey Billy, let's have a duel here on the field ," Ethan challenged Billy .
Billy laughed as he walked closer to Ethan, I accept your challenge .
you are done for ,lone wolf, Bill taunted as lunges forward with a wild punch aimed at Ethan's face.
Ethan sidestepped effortlessly , is that all you've got , Ethan asked coolly, his tone calm .
Billy growled and charged again, throwing a couple of punches , Ethan weaved through them with ease , frustration grew on Billy's face as his attacks became sloppier and more desperate.
Ethan finally decided to end it .
with lightning speed, he caught Billy's wrist mid - swing and twisted it behind his back forcing him on his knees is one move. Billy howled in pain , his free hand clawing at the ground, but it was already too late , Ethan has already won.
Billy tried to stand up ,stay down Billy , Ethan warned as his grip tightened just enough to make Billy wince .
Billy struggled for a moment , but the pain was too much, "okay I give up " he spat out breathlessly as he shrugged away Ethan's hand .
yes baby, go fuck yourself Billy looser, Ryan shouted from the side .
I will defeat you next time, Billy said as he steers at Ryan dangerously.
there will be no next time I said as I opened the system.

I smiled as I looked at my exp .

As the group began heading home, after Layla and Ryan patted ways , Diana leaned closer to Ethan and whispered, "I don't feel comfortable around her."
Yeah, I don't like her aura" Bassam added, his usually calm demeanor more serious than usual.
I can sense something from her but it's not clear and not much of a threat , Ethan said.
"Guys, come on," Ryan said, overhearing their conversation. "You're being paranoid. She's just a new girl."
just be careful, Diana said.
it's so good to be home , Ethan sighed as he walked into the house with the rest of the group.
guys I have to go home first, I will be back by five .
sure, I replied.
guys let's rest for a bit, after Ryan returns we will , look for more clues, Diana said as she walks into the guest room she slept in last night.
