Orchard Grass Part:3 // Getting Familiar
Hello Steemians!
Let me give some foreseen info. Story takes it's place in Turkey, early 2000's. Our main character, Yavuz, begins the highschool. He wins a highschool away from his home city, so he fall apart from his family and try to yield new conditions. But everything is utterly different from past.
...
Dorm watch started a diciplinary proceeding that night. He also said Serkan to leave newcomers alone or he will be expelled in no time. Serkan seemed to uphold the idea but Yavuz saw the ignorence in his eyes. He was sure that Serkan will not give him any comfort in the following days.
When he return to his room, he just noticed that his roommates are showing him respect. Well, he was earn this respect by nearly overcome Serkan. He decided not to think about Serkan's future plots. He was enduring to bullies and have fate in carpe diem. Living the moment is the essential part of highschool and he would explore this soon.
After an uncomfortable sleep, he dressed up and make for school. It seems everyone except externs knew the whole story about last night's wrestle. Externs would learn it no time though. Everyone says Aksaray to Yavuz were saluting him by their heads when Yavuz passes by. Yavuz felt the taste of pride and started to swagger like a rowdy. While he was swaggering, a sonorous male voice echoed school garden.
-Yavuz Akdemir! Principal summons you!
Yavuz pass through "i'm fucked" and return to his ordinary steps. When he arrived principal's room, he heard inside "born yesterday" idiom and fully understood that he will carry the can. He felt his mood going down. He was really borned yesterday to this school and it seems principal going going to threaten him with cutting funigle soon.
-Yavuz! Come inside boy.
(After Yavuz took his place in front of him)
-You're looking like a smart boy. But yesterday's actions can not be accepted. Wrestling in the dormitory? Have you ever take family training? Do you have any morals? What kind of people started a fight at the first day in his new school?
-Sir, i'm not the one who started it.
-Dorm watch insists that you were beating Serkan. He said Serkan was crying for you to stop. (Yavuz attempted to say otherwise) No, shut your mouth. I'm not going to report this incident to your parents. But if it repeats, you shall be sent to diciplinary commitee and i will try everything to expell you. Understood?
-Yes sir, understood.
-Good. Go find yourself in classroom.
It seems the dorm watch was on Serkan's side. Everyone should know about that kind of welcome parties. It's obvious that Serkan was his room and he is the one who starts the fight. Yet it seems Yavuz became responsible.
Later that day, Yavuz started to understand process in there. First, seniors have all the credit in teachers and administrators eyes. They were always correct and had every right on having unrighteous actions. Second, noone likes newcomers. Especially eyeful ones. Newcomers should have keep their heads down and accept everything happens to them. And third, lessons are really though. Yavuz have always been a good student yet he wasn't understand the most of the lessons. Maths, phisics and chems were especially hard lessons.
And the worst part already, he hasn't seemed to have any spare time to focus on these lessons since seniors were honed against him.
Bell rang and that day's lessons have finished. He set for dormitory unwillingly. He was feeling something going to happen but just couldn't name it. Will de seniors beat him up? Did they already make something to his belongings in the room? Are the planning something big for now? Future was a mistery and that bringing misery to Yavuz.
When he turn the corner the way to dormitory, a hand put his arm and pulled him hard to his left. There was a broad and dark flight of stairs. When he entered there involuntarily, he felt the existance of 4 or 5 person.
-Welcome amongst us bastard. Are you ready to beating up?
That was Serkan's voice. Yavuz shuddered yet stand shrewd.
-Who is going to beat me up? You?
-No, we are going to.
-Wow, you are courageous. 5 seniors against 1 junior huh? I think you could be the bravest man in the country.
-You fucking son of a bitch! I will theach you how to talk with seniors.
Serkan suddenly pushed Yavuz out of the stair flight. Outside was also dark but now Yavuz could see other 4 boy's faces. Serkan come through Yavuz, Yavuz took position to fight. He was never wrestle but good at fist fights. He had self confidence when subject comes to fight.
Serkan swing right fist first. That was easy to evade for Yavuz. He send a kick to his abdomens before he reposition. He also swing a slap to his left ear when the kick found its place. Serkan lost balance and stagger backwards. Yavuz prepared to get on him but suddenly lost control of his body. Two of the Serkan's boys were by-passed him and hold him by her arms. He tried to get rid of them but it was impossible.
Meanwhile Serkan had found his balance and coming towards him. He punched Yavuz on his nose and said "i'm your senior little fucker. You will show me some respect". He put another punch to his chin. And another one to stomach. One more. And another one. Until Yavuz's eyes started looking blank.
Everything passing in slow-motion mod for Yavuz. He never screamed or moaned. He was well trained of that kind beat ups. He was seeing Serkan swing punches, but didn't feel where them find place. At one moment, he lost his consciousness. Boys in arms dragged him into staircase flight and move away running.
That night seems to be the night for an open air sleep for Yavuz.
