The tension under the eves of the woodshed was visible as both young boys glared murderously at one another, neither backing away nor flinching.
Merrick noticed something odd flash across Sterling's face. His eye color shifted, and his expression appeared deadly. He noticed him ball his hands into angry fists, and the other boys backed away. Merrick steadied himself, ready for Sterling's first strike, but this young man with the red eyes was in for a surprise.
A sinister smirk spread across Sterling's. He was amused and could see that Merrick would not stray away from the fight he was going to meet him head-on. It had been a while since he had a good tussle.
