Chapter Twenty-three

Luan's point of view.

Tomorrow was the last day of the expedition. This was the shortest expedition of the year. They were just blanks for each school to enlist their participants in for the state ones.

And that night they made a fire again.

Samantha approached me.

-Have you seen Liz," she asked.

-No, why?

I kept thinking. What had happened to her, and I went to look for her in the two boys' bedrooms.

When I was almost there. I saw that she was coming with Alison.

-What happened? -I asked her.

-I asked her, "Now let's talk about what happened with Hate-You, let's get away from the group," Alison said.

The three of us walked away from the camp.

I listened to her and we walked away from that place. We arrived at a park in town.

We got to a park in town. -You don't think you overdid it, we left the camp without permission.

-There are a lot of people looking out for us, that's why I preferred to leave.

-What happened?

-With respect to the hate-you thing, what happened was that the necklaces have powers. The moment that one of us is in danger, these objects end the lives of the people around us.

-What? -If it were so then.

-When the River Laty happened, it was different. There you were thrown from the waterfall, but here. Due to the presence of several irregulars I activate an annihilating mode. Liz can tell us about these necklaces.

-Eh.... well...as I told you the wearer was dying and I took him away. I just know that they're special and they have powers for the people who own them.

-Did you give us something that even you don't know how it works?

-Well...uh....let's say I had doubts, and they only work when one of us is irregular.

-Okay, I think everything is clear now, let's go back then- it doesn't take long to realize that we're not- -Alison

It was strange, he wanted to end the conversation too quickly, but anyway, we returned to the camp.

... ... .... .....

In the morning, everyone organized their bags to leave at night and arrive perhaps in the morning.

The breakfast was full of nostalgia, many had formed friendships with other schools and it was sad that today they would have to say goodbye.

Everything would remain as a simple memory, some taking pictures in different places.

Henry was isolated from the rest of his classmates because of his behavior and slept in a room alone, while he finished the trip, ate and bathed when no one was around. The teachers took turns watching him.

On the last day, Cloud took charge of watching him. While they were in the dining room, he began to talk to them.

-Why did you try to attack your cousin?

—.....

-I see that you don't want to talk, but it's better to bring out the anger that you have inside, I'm willing to listen to you without questioning your actions.

-Will you listen to me or go tell the management?

-This is not an interrogation, they will do that to you when you are in school.

-It's okay. I hate my cousin. Ever since he came into my family I became invisible, all the attention went to him. I was never treated like that. I never said anything about it, and I went my own way, but he came to this school and finished screwing me over, my whole class found out we were cousins and stopped calling me by my name, now they call me Luan's cousin, and to make things worse after the test they start comparing me to him. I did poorly on the test and many started making comments. I ask myself, how did someone who got dragged into high school manage to be so good at being level 1? What the hell did he do to get so high all of a sudden, I never saw him scar his body for training. And in the halls they say that his friend gave him the test and he struts from place to place showing off as if he really did it. I trained and struggled to be here. I felt like someone like him would come out at any moment and try to cloud my effort.

-Why did you undertake it with Alison?

-They both did something weird at the test.

-Young Gomez, refrain from making those kinds of comments, they can cause problems for your cousin.

-I just say what I see. Clearly, I could collect evidence if you would allow me.

Clouds got more serious and took off his glasses.

-Okay, let's do one thing, keep this comment a secret, I'll take care of researching the evidence and the relationship of these two young people. If it's true, they'll probably both be expelled, definitely.

-That's just why.

-Alison has done certain things that have deserved her expulsion.

Henry didn't last long in thinking about it and answered

-Okay, it's a deal.

..... ..... .....

In the dormitories everyone organized their bags, and took group pictures. Except for one person, Alison had already packed her bags and just went to say goodbye to someone. I arrive at the Brustel School dormitory and look for Deicy.

Some students were watching him.

Until someone approached him.

-You're looking for Deicy?

-Eh..yes.

-She's in the bathroom getting ready, so you'll have to wait for her.

-Don't worry, I'll go over there.

-You can't go in there you're a chic....

The boy with black hair and crimson eyes, went to the restrooms of the compound, before going in there, he remembered that he couldn't go in, for obvious reasons and he turned around, but he felt a shadow coming out of that place. It was strange. Something he had never felt before. And he decided to go and see what happened.

As she entered the bathroom, she noticed that the place was empty, and there was only one person there, Deicy, who was naked on her back, but the crimson-eyed boy was only shocked to see something strange about her. Some black scars as if she had on her body.

She felt that Alison was looking at her because of the reflection of the water. And she threw a soap at him.

-You're a pervert -I scream.

Alison stopped it from falling on her face and continued walking towards the girl in the yakusi.

-Now I understand, because you don't want to be with others, did your dad do this to himself?

She kept her head down, avoided looking at him and answered him.

-He didn't do it. I have a sister who is like you.... has a very dangerous power. And she turns any object she touches black, killing it little by little. I found a way to stop that power. I'm fine, but those spots don't go away.

Alison, when I saw what the girl was suffering from in her body and tried to get out of the yakusi.

-Get dressed, I think there's someone rolling around here, we should go.

She didn't understand Alison, any boy would have even blushed and left the bathroom without thinking twice, but he looked serene and calm. As if she didn't feel anything

-Wait, you're not even a little embarrassed to see me like this, it's just that I feel like I'm talking to a homunculus.

- Spying, girls, is not something that interests me. I just came here to check something out.

He walked away from Deicy a few meters, but they felt a few steps, a presence of a grown man, near the door. And she hugged the girl to cover herself.

Alison took off her shirt and gave herself to him.

Princess Delta, noticed the scar marks on that boy and thought about it.

The boy with the crimson eyes, proceeded to go into the hallway, to see who it was, but before he could even look out, he was hit, unusually, by that guy, crashing into the wall.

He immediately left the place.

Deicy went to help him and tried to get him up.

Alison, a little dazed, wanted to understand what had happened and was helped by Princess Delta and tried to get to the door, but Samantha arrived and was indignant when she saw them.

-Now you can't tell me anything, you're a pervert, and a womanizer.

She closed the door others that no one else saw.

-Alison, there is nothing you can say to me that will change my mind right now. It's obvious what you were doing here, and that calm face doesn't convince me. I finally have proof that everything they say about you is true.

Deicy's face dropped in embarrassment, trying to speak up and clear up this incident.

-Samantha let me explain...-Century the youngest boy

She proceeded to hit him on the head, and noticed that he had another one in the same place.

Deicy meanwhile couldn't contain her laughter, because of the jealousy scene these two played.

The red-haired girl realized that she had aggravated her partner's condition by hitting him in that place, to the point that he began to bleed a little. Because the swelling she had at the time was not normal.

She hugged him, avoiding a fainting spell, on his behalf.

- I'm sorry, it's just... it's your fault, because you're here half-naked with a girl, I didn't know you had that in your head.

He didn't answer anything, he was silent trying to process his damage, and agonizing from the pain.

He said he took advantage of those seconds to change and hand over the shirt of the boy with the crimson eyes to Samantha.

-Alison, he's not a pervert, nor were we doing anything wrong here, it's just that there was someone around and he wanted to stop me from getting hurt, that's all.

-Okay, I understand, I'll try to take care of him for the rest of the trip," Samantha replied, doubting what to say at that moment.

- I'd better help you. Let's go talk to my school nurse and get him checked out.

The two girls took him to the nurse's office. In front of everyone's eyes, walking through the facilities of the place.

They applied a cream to him to deflate the blow, and they disinfected the wound.

Samantha was upset by the scene she saw, and the doubts she had about both of them, but she decided to help him, as he was in a bad way at the time.

..... ... .....

At night everyone organized their bags and proceeded one by one to get on the buses. Luan watched his two companions.

Samantha and Alison were both there, the crimson-eyed boy was asleep leaning on the shoulder of his partner who looked a little embarrassed.

-Hey...hey... Alison.

-He's asleep, he hit his head and he's tired from yesterday, don't worry about him, I'll take care of him-she put her hands on his partner's head.

Luan was a little uncomfortable, he didn't believe what he was seeing. Samantha was backing off with her opinion of Alison.

Liz, who was watching the scene, spoke to him.

-If you want, we can go together for the whole trip, just like them.

The white-haired boy remembered Alejandra, and preferred not to.

-I'm sorry, I'll go with someone else," he said.

Liz noticed Luan's nervousness, and laughed a good part of the trip.
