CHAPTER TWO

"Hey where are

you going?" I asked Kent who was now ready to leave the classroom.

"I'm going

somewhere. Why?" he replied without emotion. Maybe he forgot that I had a

job with him? I stood up and approached him. "Wait a minute, is that more

important than what we do?"

"I'll

follow." He answered and pushed me a little more. It's up to him. Just

when this still happens tomorrow, I quit.

I just let him go.

Whether he comes back or not, it's up to him. I’ll just do what I have to do.

I went to the library

to finish my assignment that I hadn’t finished last night. I caught up with my

friend Jade there.

"I thought you

were with Kent?" She asked as I sat down next to her.

"He went

somewhere. And another if he really wanted to pass, he wouldn't leave."

"You're right.

Wait, why are you here?" Jade asked then pulled out another notebook.

"I'll just finish

my assignment for the last subject." I answered and took out my notebook.

"By the way, have

you opened the files on the memory card we found yesterday?" She just

wrote straight and didn't even look at me.

I just rubbed my

forehead with my palm. By the way, I forgot.

"I can't find it.

I'm looking for it in my bag. Didn't I put it in my bag yesterday?" I

asked her confused. She just nodded in response.

Soon he also spoke.

"Maybe it's where you just put it or fell when you were looking in your

bag." Her opinion. "The question is whose memory card is that? We

need to know because the contents of the files might have been important

then."

He was right there; I

had to find the memory card again so we could return it to the owner. Maybe one

of our teachers was the owner then.

I just nodded and

continued what I was doing. I was shaken by what I noticed 30 minutes ago and

Kent was still not coming back.

It's okay even if he

doesn't come back because I really don't want to be with him. And one more

thing, I’m going to have a good time with no one bothering me. Because I can't

immediately focus on what I'm doing when someone is bothering me.

----

Jade and I also

finished what we were doing. We parted ways because he was going to the

Teacher's Faculty to pass the assignment for the two of us while I was going to

the Canteen to buy snacks.

I then remembered what

happened earlier. Did he want to pick me up earlier or did his Mom just tell

him to pick me up as his Tutor?

Urgghhh! I just shook

my head because of what I was thinking. Wait! Why am I thinking this? I just

continued walking until I sharply untied my shoelace. So I bent down and tied

it.

Even before I could

tie my shoelaces, I heard screams not far from my seat. I quickly went to the

crowded student. I wasn’t sure if I tied my shoelaces properly, I just ran into

someone shouting.

I met one of my

classmates who were running towards me. Panting he pulled me towards the

crowded student.

"Danica, what's

up?" I asked Danica as we ran towards the screaming ones.

"Because Kent

..." She stopped what he was going to say because I left him. I

immediately went to the crowded area and looked for Kent.

Gosh! I don’t like

what I see. I immediately approached Kent who was lying on the ground. The edge

of his lip was bleeding. What's going on? I was confused questioning myself.

"Call for

help!" I told the students there as if no one knew what was going on. I

saw Danica immediately run to the Guard House. Her Dad is the Security Guard of

our school.

I turned to Kent

again. He was just looking at me. I don’t know if I’ll be happy because of her

condition, but I feel more pity for what I see now. Kent is arrogant but he has

sides that he is a good classmate.

I was about to talk to

him when suddenly someone shouted from behind me.

"Get out of

there!" a man shouted from behind me. I immediately confronted him and

blushed when I saw him strike me with a hard stick. I close my eyes instead of

leaving where I am. I can't just leave Kent here. Obviously he can't take his

body anymore so I can't leave him.

As I closed my eyes, I

suddenly felt someone hug me and we suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ahhhh!" I

heard Kent say after he felt the hard wood fit behind him.

I opened my eyes.

Kent's body opened up to me, facing me as well. He was unconscious and his face

was still stuck in my neck.

My tears rolled down

my cheeks after I realized that Kent saved me. I'm just happy because even

though he can't take his body anymore, he was able to stand up for me.

I heard the guard whistling.

Three guards approached us and one took the three men who had been fighting

with Kent. One supported the unconscious Kent and the other helped me stand up.

I immediately called

my Mom to report what had happened. He would tell Kent's parents. After I

talked to Mama, the guards also took me to the hospital to check if I was

injured. My back and head hurt a bit because maybe I fell to the ground.
