Chapter Fourty
Maxine’s Point of View
“I told you not to fucking touch her!!” at the strength of Alyn’s voice, even I was scared.
“A-Alyn, I’m hurting,” Ferries’ voice trembled, fear was obvious in her voice and even in her eyes. It was as if she would cry anytime.
“Do you think I care?” Alyn’s eyes narrowed before violently releasing the collar of Ferries’ uniform, “Run. I will give you 20 seconds to disappear from my sight. Run!” After Alyn shouted out, Ferries ran in panic.
Alyn took a deep breath before turning to me. I sat down then averted my eyes from him when I saw how dark his aura was. I didn’t do anything but I couldn’t help but be afraid of him. Probably because his black eyes were staring at me too dark. He approached me and squatted in front of me. He grabbed my chin and forced my face to face him.
His eyebrows met when he saw my look, “Tss,” he clicked his tongue. “Don’t you know how to fight? You don’t take care of your face. ”
I was bored with what he said. What do I not know how to fight? Do I look like I have anything against those women? Aside from their big bodies compared to my body, they have a lot for me to fight. If only Ferries was alone, I would definitely be able to fight her but that is not the case. There are many of them and some of them are double or triple the size of my body.
“Don’t you see how many they are? Do you think if I fight, I will win?” I asked him.
“Then, you should shout my name for help!” he shouted back at me, “If you can’t do it alone, you should ask for help and not face them alone! Are you a saint? What if you end up in the hospital? Do you think they will feel guilty? Huh?! ”
I removed his hold on my chin, “Why are you scolding me like I was the one who’s at fault? If it wasn’t for you it wouldn’t have happened to me! Do you think I like it? Do you think I wanted to experience all these? No! No, Alyn!” I bit my other lower lip and held back the tears.
I’m right, aren’t I? Ferries really started bullying me because of him. But I don’t know if I should really blame him because Ferries did all this to me and he didn’t. But I can’t help but think that he’s to blame for everything because he’s the reason why Ferries is bullying me even though I know that Alyn isn’t ordering that woman. I don’t know. I know it’s not Alyn’s fault but I can’t help but blame him at all.
He heaved a sigh, “Fine. I’m sorry,” he apologized and hugged me.
My eyes widened and seemed incredulous. Alyn with high self-esteem apologized to me? Alyn, who gave me his jacket because he was disgusted with me, hugged me? Did I look so pitiful that his aura suddenly changed?
“Damn, what is this? Are we watching live action romance now?”
I immediately let go of Alyn’s hug when I heard Giles’ voice. The four stood behind Alyn. When I caught sight of Louis, he immediately smiled at me and stood beside me.
As Alyn did before, Louis also squatted, “Look at you…” he put the strand of my hair behind my ear, “… you’re a mess. Want me to clean your wounds?” Then he smiled.
“What’s this? A love triangle?” Sid asked as he looked at us in the hole of the triangle shape he made with his fingers.
“Shut it,” Alyn said before he stood up. He rolled up his pants before he turned to look at Louis and me, “Take care of her,” he said before turning his back on us.
When Alyn disappeared from our sight, Sid, Byron, and Giles approached me to help me stand up. Then we started walking.
“I won’t ask you if you’re okay because I know you’re not,” Giles whispered.
“Let’s go to the infirmary!” Sid shouted as he raised his fist.
“Did Ferries do it again?” Byron asked. I nodded in response to his question. He breathed out, “Do you want us to tell the dean what that woman is doing to stop this? Look, your other wounds haven’t healed yet and they have increased again.”
“I’ll take Ferries myself,” Louis interjected, “Alyn probably talked to her already but Ferries didn’t listen.”
“What is the real relationship between the two?” I asked. I’m confused because of them. Ferries pretends that they have a relationship but Alyn gives different vibes.
“Why?” Sid turned to me, “Are you jealous?”
My left brow arched, “No way in hell!” I defended myself.
“But yes in heaven?” Byron teased and gave me a teasing smile.
My brows furrowed. They are not sane anymore. “No way in hell and heaven. Is it okay now? ” Then I rolled my eyes.
“Oh? Really? Yiee~” Then Byron and Sid started poking my side. They were both on my side so they were able to poke my side.
“Stop it!” I exclaimed and continuously slapped their hands that haven’t stopped yet.
“Enough, guys. Her body wasn’t healed yet,” Louis interfered and thank God the two idiots finally stopped.
“Oh, I smell jealousy~” Giles said, which I didn’t get. What is that for?
The next day, I came in wearing a jacket because my body was full of bruises. This isn’t the first time I got a bruise because of Ferries and it’s not the first time I’ve come to school with a bruise on my body. But my bruises now are worse than I had before so I decided to wear a jacket. I was wearing the jacket Alyn gave me. I lied when I said I threw his jacket away. He just didn’t know because I didn’t go with them to school.
It’s break time and only a few steps will be counted so that I can finally get down to the building when Ferries suddenly showed up in front of me with the women who beat me yesterday. I was about to run to avoid them when I suddenly heard them shout which made me stop.
“We are sorry! Please, spare our life!” they bowed their heads and pleaded in unison.
What the? What am I? A God?
Anyway, what’s going on? Aren’t they here to beat me? Did they eat something bad so they asked for forgiveness? Will the world collapse?
In the midst of astonishment, suddenly five men appeared from behind while folding their arms together across their chest. Are they the ones plotting it?
“Repeat! Yanny didn’t hear!” command them by Byron.
“The outcome of your life will be based on Missy’s answer!” Sid said as if threatening the women.
“Who’s Yanny and Missy, anyway? We only know Maxine,” I heard one of the women with Ferries whisper.
“Maybe that girl has various names?” someone answered. I don’t know who is speaking because they are all bent over.
“Oh! Oh! Who is whispering there?!” Giles asked. Looks like he heard something too. “We told you to apologize not to whisper!”
I just sighed and landed my hand on my head. These guys really are! I don’t need anything like this. It’s okay with me if they don’t disturb my life.
“We are sorry! Please, spare our life!” They repeat what they said earlier.
I looked behind the women where the five men were. They shook at the same time except for Alyn who just looked at me seriously but his look also indicated that I should say ‘no’. Seriously? Why else would they do this if they would also teach me what to answer? Sigh.
Fine, just to get back at them.
“I…” they looked up at me, seemingly waiting for the next thing I would say, “I won’t spare your lives.”
“W-What?” Ferries reacted.
Louis moved quickly and pulled Ferries just as she planned to approach me, “Okay! Okay! Fall in line we have to go somewhere!” Louis announced.
Sid, Byron and Giles approached the women to sort in the queue. They are like members of a club whenever there is a program, they line up the women. What will they do with those women?
“Okay, the train is leaving. Let’s go!” Sid said as the queue settled.
“Are you ready to go to hell?” Byron asked accompanied by the laughter of a demon in the movies. My gosh!Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Line up properly, everyone will be punished!” Giles said while slapping a woman’s ass. This jerk!
“Get a move on,” Alyn commanded and led the way.
“Bye, Missy!” Sid waved his hand, “We’re just going to do something, eat a lot!”
“Bye, Tardy!” Byron also waved his hand, “I will get back to you later,” then he winked.
“Don’t follow us!” Giles reminded me.
As if I would, idiot!
“Don’t wait for us, eat your lunch.” Louis smiled.
