Huh, damn it.
Turns out what Amy meant by, “… Suzurao is obsessed with you, Lu,” was because Rei kept asking if Luke would be okay during the suspension period or if Luke would get in trouble later or if Luke was eating properly. That kind of stuff. But, yeah, Luke understands why Amy thinks that Rei is obsessed with Luke. Because even yesterday Luke thought that Rei's worries were too exaggerated and made it up to the point where he questioned her sexual orientation—which should be a matter of privacy for her. Plus, Rei said that Luke was someone he had to take care of. Luke's brain went into a sudden burst of fireworks when he said that. So, Luke understood why Amy thought Rei was weird and didn't bother to get close to the cat-eyed girl.
Well , of course Luke didn't tell Amy or Andrew about Rei's last words the other day. It can strengthen the suspicion against Rei.
Well, now is not the time to think about that. The fact is that Luke has started school again and has no significant problems with the police except Ben, who has to pay for Patricia 's treatment . Ben kept grumbling about it, but he couldn't rant like he usually did because Ulfa would have been wondering.
The school remains the same as it was a few days ago and the students also seem to no longer care about Luke's fight with Patricia Bowleans the other day. The corridor is still the same with students passing by and occasionally greeting each other. Then Luke doesn't know what else is the same because everything really looks the same.
But one thing for sure was different that day. Just as Luke was about to head to History class after the first break, someone walked from the end of the corridor with steady and frightening steps. Then, as soon as Luke had turned into the classroom and sat down on one of the benches, a very loud bang sounded from the direction of the classroom door, making Luke's shoulders jump and the girls' voices shriek. Followed also by the snap of a boy with a hoarse voice.
"Bright! Where's Bright?!"
Replace Luke's heart which seemed to stop beating for two seconds. Luke could guess who the owner of the hoarse voice was and, sure enough, when Luke turned around, Luke saw a broad-shouldered boy with a pair of sparkling eyes. None other than nothing; Adam Bowles. He is Patricia's older brother. A rugby team captain. He is also in the same grade as Valentina , in the same club as Valentina , and is in the same sphere as Valentina . In short; they are friends. His behavior is also eleven twelve with his sister. I mean, Adam also came up with the betting idea of dating less popular girls just for fun. Jerk!
Back to our unexpected character, Adam Bowleans. After Luke becomes consciously involved with Patricia, then gets into an argument with Mrs. Annoying and overacting Bowleans , now it seems that Luke has to deal with the broad shoulder, Adam.
All eyes on Luke seemed to indicate to Adam, 'Hey, that's the girl you meant!' Damn it, it is.
Luke was still in place when Adam approached Luke. It felt like the bones in his knees were dislodging from their joints. Luke couldn't even jerk her the way Luke jerked Patricia. Swallowing saliva was nervous half to death. It turned out that Adam was far more terrifying when they faced each other like this. Especially when he is in angry mode.
"You!" Adam pulled his hair back without hesitation. Never mind that Luke is a daughter. "Did you break my sister's hand?!"
Luke simply nodded. Luke's neck suddenly became iron stiff and all the words that were forming in his brain immediately disappeared. As Adam's eyes grew sharper, he also tightened his grip on Luke's hair. I was so scared, Luke couldn't scream other than biting the bottom of his lip.
“Do you know what the reward is for people who have hurt my sister, ha? Shut up!” Adam rebuked a boy who asked Adam to remove his hands from Luke's hair. But because he was bullied so hard, the boy immediately became silent. The others are the same. Luke doesn't blame it if no one dares to try to break them up for fear of Adam, because this guy really is that fierce. No one even dared to move from their place, nor took out their cell phones for the night of the incident.
A tear was at the corner of his eye because Luke felt that his scalp would peel off at that moment. Plus, Adam walked forward step by step to corner Luke in the back area of the class so that Luke automatically walked backwards according to his steps. Because if he didn't, the tugging of his hand on Luke's hair would get even harder and that… I swear, it really hurt. It feels like your spare life has been stripped from your body.
Adam was still speaking in a terrible hoarse voice. "Do you want to know, what is done to a dog that bit my sister's clothes to shreds?"
Luke could only shake his head. Oh, Luke really doesn't want to know and doesn't care. The only thing Luke cared about was himself. Especially the head.
"So," Adam said, grinning, "I slammed the dog four times until he understood he was dealing with the wrong human. And now you, dumb girl, either you are brave or you just had the balls to send my sister to the hospital. I want you to remember one thing, that I will put you in at least one of these two places; Prison or Coffin."
Tears had already wet both sides of Luke's ears once five seconds ago. He was even aware that his voice wouldn't come out even if these lips tried to say sorry. Luckily, not long after Adam's threat, another person appeared at the classroom door. Not a teacher, nor a school security guard. But Valentina Miller. He came with Amy Lee who pointed at Luke timidly.
“That's it… Quickly help Luke, Valentina.” Luke could hear Amy's trembling whispers.
There was no doubt that rather than reporting to the teacher, Amy preferred to report to Valentina Miller. Luke's eyes glanced over because he heard Valentina's voice, who exclaimed in surprise.
“Adam?! What are you… Oh my God, Luke! Adam, let him go!”
Valentina walked up to Luke and, while there was no denying it, Amy's decision to take Valentina was quite the right one. Because Valentina is one of the few people who dare to Adam. He stepped closer with a heavy trot and immediately pulled Adam's shoulder roughly so that his grip on Luke's hair was shaken.
" What the fuck are you doing?! Let him off!" Valentina snapped and looked angry.
On the other hand, instead of listening to Valentina's advice to let go of Valentina, Adam only answered lightly.
"It's none of your business. Go away."
"This boy's business is mine."
"What do you care? You guys broke up."
" He's my boyfriend ."
Oh no. This idiot actually made everything like a drama.
