"Who started that mess? Answer me right now, if you don't want me to give you a penalty for one week" Miss. Veronica, our principal ask in a serious tone of her voice.
After she saw the mess that happened earlier, we are now in her office. Our heads bowed, unable to look straight at her eyes.
All phones of freshmen to seniors were also confiscated including ours by the guidance counselor to delete the videos that we had taken earlier.
"Again! Who started the mess?" Miss. Veronica asks, slightly raised her voice.
"Hey, Klay! Will you not admit that you are the one who started the trouble, huh!?" I was surprised when Sammy yell out at him.
Sammy's being sadist is on the way.
Well, anyway, she is right. It was obvious that Klay was the one who started the big s**t.
"What!? Me!? It was Hiro who started the fight! I was just defending myself!" Klay reply, anger wrapped his voice.
I looked at Hiro. There is no trace of any expression on his face.
He had a bruise on the left side of his lips, and a blood clot on his uniform.
Sometimes I really wonder where Hiro was born. I mean, why does his face look so plain? During his eight years here, I have never seen him smile and mingle with other students. He was always spending his time alone with himself. His life seems so boring.
"Klay, I know you started the fight. So please, admit it." Nathalia says, calmly.
"Huh. Seriously." Klay laughs filled with sarcasm. "Okay, fine! It was me who started the mess. I did that because I wanted to get revenge on Hiro! She hurt and humiliated you, Nathalia ---"
"You bastard! Did I ask for your help!?" Nathalia yells at him irritatedly.
"Nath, you know I can't stand if someone looks down on you--"
"So are you satisfied now?" Hiro interrupted. He looks at Klay.
"What!?" Klay reply with an irritation.
"I'm asking you if punching and kicking me made you satisfied?" Hiro's tone of voice is insulting.
"Why are you so proud?!" Klay arches his brows.
"Is there something wrong with what I said? As far as I know, I'm just asking." Hiro's words fought back.
All our eyes were fixed on both of them, even Miss Veronica. She couldn't even intervene between Hiro and Klay's conversation.
"Hey, Hiro! Are you still not satisfied with the punch I gave you!?"
"Satisfied?" Hiro scoffs. "Is this all you can do, Klay? Tss. You're so weak." Hiro says, sounding as if he is challenging Klay.
Klay's became more even annoyed.
Awesome! I didn't know that Hiro would kill Klay with his words.
"Weak?" Klay scoffs, brushes his lips roughly with his right hand. "Are you challenging me?"
"I didn't say anything. Expand your brain so that you can understand me. But if you think that I'm challenging you. Then, let me tell you this, do not expect me to stand in my place again."
"Huh, and do you think you would scare me by your curse words? You're just a human, Hiro! I can knock you down again!"
"Yes, I'm just a human, just like you. But are you sure you can beat me again?"
"Aish, this scumbag --"
"Halt! Stop right here, Hiro and Klay."
Damn! My mouth hanged when Miss Veronica finally interrupted their conversation.
"Now that one of you has already admitted who started the mess so, I will let this thing slide now. But! When it will going to happen again, you will receive a penalty. Understood?"
"Yess, Miss." We both said in apology, except Hiro.
"Hiro and Klay, I do not want this kind of incident to happen again. Because when it is repeated, I will suspend you for three days in class. Okay? Clear?"
"Yes, Miss," Klay responded, except Hiro again.
TSS. He is so really weird. Can't he just say 'yes' or just nod?
"You may leave now, and go to your respective classes, except Joy."
"Ah. Yes, Miss." Joy says and looks at us. We nodded at her before we finally got out of the office.
**
JOY
"Miss? What we should talk about?" I ask Miss Veronica when everyone is out of his office.
He fixed her glasses first before saying anything to me. "Joy, you know that you're forbidden to get involved in trouble because of your condition, right?"
"Yes, Miss. I know that."
"Then, I will assume that you will avoid getting into trouble. Is that clear? Joy?"
"Yes, Miss. I understand that. I just... helped Hiro." I muttered.
"It's not forbidden to help your fellow students, but do not forget too that you have to think and help yourself first before helping others. Your parents have entrusted you to me, so I need to make sure you are in a good and safe place. Please help me out, Joy. Okay?"
"Yes, Miss. I understand."
"Good. You may now go to your class."
"Yes, Miss. Thank you." I nodded and stood up.
Yet, my back suddenly hurts.
"Ahh." My face arch in pain I felt in my back.
"Joy? Are you okay!?" Miss Veronica asks in concern.
"I'm okay, Miss. I just... My toes hit in the corner of the table." I smile bitterly.
"Ahh. I thought." She breathes in nervousness. "Okay, take care."
Again, I say goodbye to her and left her office.
On my way out I could not help but shed tears because my back is aching so much.
I can't bend my body and the moment I take a walk, it gets hurt even more.
I walked slowly to get away from Miss Veronica's office. She might get out and see me. I don't want that. Because I know, she will go to report this to my parents.
And I don't want that to happen.
If my mum and dad will know this, they will transfer me to the other university.
Again, I don't want that to happen. I don't want to be separated from Kevin. Not again.
I came up the stairs going to the third floor. However, I didn't get straight upstairs.
Instead, I go to the comfort room.
I quickly locked the door of the comfort room as I entered inside.
I stripped off my coat and my inner long sleeve white blouse, then turned my back to face the large mirror to take a check on it.
Shit. A large bruise was drawn on the half of my back. It's swollen.
Argh. I have to go to the clinic to treat it right away.
Because if not, I'm pretty sure that I won't last long here in a week and I will be dismissed.
That cannot happen. No way.
I put on my uniform, then came out of the comfort room.
On my way out I did not expect to see Hiro who just came outside from the men's comfort room.
He changed his uniform.
Our eyes met shortly, then he turned his back on me and starts to walk away.
I call him but he ignores me. He keeps walking until he turned to the right corner for him to lose my sight.
"Hiro..." I uttered and I ran to chase after him even my back is hurt.
"Hiro! Hir-Hiro, wait." I call him, still, he keeps rejecting me.
"Hir---Hiro! Please-- ah." I couldn't be able to reach him. I fell down on the floor, gasping, panting and tears fell down on my cheeks, arching my face in so much pain I felt right now.
My chest started to tighten up.
I tried to raise my head to look at Hiro again but he was gone. He already disappeared in my sight.
"H-Hiro." I try to voice out, catching, chasing up my breath.
My tears flowed in succession as I keep asking for help in a whisper.
I can't breathe.
Until I found myself laying down on the floor. My eyes were looking at the ceiling as my eyes get blurry little by little.
"M-Mum... D-Dad... H-Help--- me---"
