First of all , Luke felt bad for having to hide the facts from Mr. Chastain that Julia is not looking after Luke properly. He thought that Julia was still working on babysitting while Ben and Ulfa were gone. However, Luke didn't want to say that Julia had gone somewhere, which, Luke was also more comfortable at home alone. However, when Luke got home, Luke called Julia Chastain and told him about his father. But when Luke unlocked the screen, a message was waiting to be read. Displayed on the front screen. From Amy. The message reads;
'Me and Andrew saw you rampage from your bedroom window. If not you, then who else?'
Spontaneously, Luke's brow furrowed. Luke tried to remember when you had a tantrum last night. For all Luke remembered was that after Julia had left him at home alone, Luke had felt unwell, had a fever, and lay up all night with violent delusions in his room. Even to tilt the body was heavy as if there were tons of rocks on top of Luke's body. So, he felt that what Amy saw didn't make sense.
Luke wanted to ask Amy a lot of things, but was too lazy for now. I was in a bit of a bad mood that afternoon and if Luke decided to communicate with someone, Luke felt sure to curse him out. Therefore, Luke turned off his cell phone, closed the door tightly, drew the window curtains, and spent the day in front of the television, which was only turned on without sound.
Mrs. The Bowleans was still on Luke's mind. Very offensive to Luke, to be honest. How dare he bring up the whereabouts of his parents, even though he doesn't know them. Mentioning delinquent girls, even though her own daughter looks more like a mafia boss, even though Patricia herself started it all. Irritating! Oh, Luke didn't say that Luke regretted helping Rei. Absolutely not. Luke had confirmed that many times. Luke was just annoyed because because of that bitch Patricia, Luke was getting in trouble.
Luke looked at his palm. Come to think of it, Luke never went to the gym to work on muscles, never took karate, taekwondo, boxing, jiu jitsu or anything related to martial arts lessons; but why was Luke able to break Patricia's arm so easily? Well , while doing it it's not that hard. You don't need a lot of energy and you just have to squeeze like Luke was squeezing his hair when washing or bending spaghetti. Hence, now Luke wondered, was it really that easy to break someone's bones?
Luke had heard from Miss Pooja—Luke's Science teacher when he was in middle school—say that adult human bones are five times stronger than steel. If you don't believe me, try twisting your friend's neck and if you can break it in one fell swoop, then you are the incarnation of Superman. Well , yeah, basically it's not easy to break someone's hand, especially for Luke who is relatively weak. Again, this is as preposterous as Amy's statement that she saw Luke rampage in the room last night.
Because he was too engrossed in surfing the internet that Luke forgot that Luke had been sitting in front of the computer for hours. Luke only moved when he wanted to pee, the rest Luke didn't make much movement . Not even starving. Luke feels calm when immersed in social media such as YouTube, Vimeo, or reading stories on Reddit . Feel better when you find an experience that says that the author has experienced something similar to Luke. That is, the writer was sued by the parents of the boy she beat to a pulp because the boy had bullied her little sister a few years ago. Now the writer said he had left St. Harmount years ago and living life as a cinema doorman. Good for him .
The doorbell sounded twice followed by a call, "Luke..." Luke recognized Rei's voice. It wasn't hard to identify the girl's voice. Shrill, slightly shrill, but has the impression of resignation. That's how it is. Luke remembered that Rei had promised that he would come to Luke's house after school and bring dinner. It so happened that Luke didn't cook, wasn't good at cooking, didn't have any cooking, even though Luke wasn't hungry. Then Luke came downstairs and Luke opened the door. Two seconds Luke was standing in the doorway and in the next second, Luke closed the door really hard. Yeah, Luke slammed it shut. Luke's feelings, which had been almost neutral, quickly turned into anger, hate, and bad.
There's Amy, Andrew, Rei, and… Valentina Miller . Eugh, shit ! Luke hated his presence at the door of the house. Luke is upset and doesn't want to see things that Luke doesn't like, including in Stupid Miller.
“Hey Luke! Why did you close the door again, you idiot?!” cried Amy, knocking on the door impatiently.
" Why did you fucking bring him to my house ?!" shouted Luke from inside, "Send him away!"
“ Her? You mean… Valentina ? asked Amy to make sure.
"Yes!"
Dimly, Luke heard them conferring; Rei, who muttered sorry many times, Andrew, who calmed Valentina down, and Amy, who clicked like a lizard. In the end, after thirty seconds, Valentina could be heard saying ;
" Well, guys. That's fine. Maybe Luke is stressed and what he needs is time and you, his friends . Maybe my presence bothers him. I… I will go. Ha ha… see ya. ”
Then from behind the door, Rei said slowly.
“Luke, Valentina has—”
"He's gone. Now open the door unless you want to shut yourself in for the rest of your life, Bright!” Amy's voice drowned out Rei's words. So Luke opened the door and made sure there wasn't that stupid Miller around the house anymore. Even Andrew guarantees it.
Andrew said, “Take it easy. He's really gone, really. Don't worry. So, can we come in, Luke?” He smiled so broadly that he played with his eyebrows so cutely that Luke couldn't help but smile. Luke invited them in and as soon as Rei handed over some boxes of food, Amy immediately attacked Luke with lots of questions.
"So tell me what your message meant this morning."
"What message?" Instead it was Andrew who asked. Rei also looked at Amy curiously.
Luke wanted to answer with the words, "Nothing." But, Amy immediately went on and on about what she did last night.
“That, you know, Babe . Do you remember what we saw from Luke's bedroom window last night?"
“Oh yeah. Which you said he went berserk, right? Well, so why are you throwing a tantrum, Luke? Was it that bad to break Patricia's arm? I thought you just got a suspension from school—”
"This is a letter from school," said Rei who found an envelope on the sofa in the living room. As if to clarify the punishment that Luke got.
Amy and Andrew nodded at the same time, and Andrew continued, “ Well , you don't need to be so upset, Luke. They will not put you in jail. Patricia only broke a bone and she didn't die. My advice, it's better for you to calm down than to scream angrily in your room like a madman.”
"Can you guys shut up?" he said. "First; Yes, they might put me in jail, Andrew. Two police officers came to my house this morning and I was stuck there for four hours with Mrs. Bowleans is next to me. Second; I'm not the one you saw rampage last night. I have a fever and can't move. So, how can I scream like crazy ?”
