Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Confrontation

Arthur's first day back at school after his awakening was tense. The special program for Inhumans was still being set up, and until then, Arthur had to navigate the regular school environment.

As he walked down the hallway, he noticed whispers and stares. Some students seemed fascinated by his new status as an Inhuman, while others looked at him with suspicion and fear.

A group of kids, led by Jake, a former friend, began taunting Arthur. "Freak," they called him. "Inhuman scum."

Arthur tried to ignore them, but the words stung. He felt his temper rising, and his body began to heat up.

One of the bullies shoved Arthur, and he stumbled back. Something inside him snapped. Arthur stood up straight, his eyes flashing with anger.

"I won't take this anymore!" he shouted, his voice echoing down the hallway.

The bullies laughed, but Arthur could see the fear creeping into their eyes. For a moment, it seemed like the situation might escalate further.

But then, the principal intervened, stepping in to separate Arthur from the group. "Let's take a break, everyone," he said firmly.

Arthur took a deep breath, trying to calm down. The principal escorted him to a quiet room, where Arthur could collect his thoughts.

As he sat there, Arthur realized that he needed to find a way to control his emotions and his powers. The world was already wary of Inhumans; he couldn't let his own temper make things worse.
