Chapter 19

School was over. It was finally time for the meeting and I was walking to the principal's office when Ryu approached me. Oh God. Not again. I had successfully avoided him for days.

His navy blue jacket was draped over his left shoulder, sleeves of his white shirt pulled up to reveal those strong arms. Both hands were in his pockets and he stood before me, looking handsome as ever. His hair was ruffled, a few naughty strands caressing his upper cheeks and nose. My fingers twitched as I felt the urge to tuck them behind his ear.

Fuck. There I go again. Imagining things I shouldn't imagine happening between men.

"What do you want?" I asked, trying to look calm. As if his presence didn't affect me. They say out of sight, out of mind. It worked for a while as my mind had been occupied with Miss Park's demise.

Now, that gentle sweet kiss kept invading my senses. The softness of his lips. His moist warm tongue. His enchanting scent. Shit shit shit. What are you doing to me Ryu? Why you? Why not some other girl?

"I heard some pretty interesting stories going around school today" he said, giving me a look of disappointment. "I also saw a woman who looks like you walk into the principal's office with two policemen. Don't do what I think you're going to do"

A woman who looks like me? My parents must be here then.

I folded my arms and walked closer to him. "And what do you think I want to do?" I realized that Ryu is really tall because I had to raise my head to look him in the eyes. The top of my head would only reach his chin.

"You're going to charge her for sexual assault and blackmail even when we both know it was consensual" he answered.

He just accepts that I'm the bad guy. He won't even trust me. He's not seeing the guy suffering inside. I could feel my eyes getting moist and this time, the tears gathering were real. They just seem to appear every time I'm with this guy.

"What makes you think it was consensual?" I asked. "Why would I fuck her and then do this to her? Did you ever stop to think that I might not be the bad guy here?"

"It doesn't seem that way to me" he said, invading my personal space. This time, I refused to back down. He raised his hand to my face, using a thumb to trace my lower lip which parted under the weight. "I keep wandering, is there a reason for your cruelty or do you just enjoy humiliating people and ruining their lives?"

When I didn't answer, he continued; "You're one big mystery Aito-kun. One that I'll be very happy to unravel"

He leaned in but this time, I was prepared. I kneed him in the gut and he bent over in pain, clutching his lower abdomen.

"Don't you dare touch me like that again!" I shouted. "I'm tired of your sick games! You tell me that you don't like people like me but you keep touching me and kissing me. What kind of shit is that?! Stay the fuck away from me and mind your own business!"

And then I hightailed it to the principal's office.

"I can't believe it man" Toshiro said, taking a sip of his coke. "Your parents power. It's like they own the damn country. Getting Miss Park in prison so fast"

Yua shook her head. "Twenty years in that horrible place. She's gonna be an old hag when she comes out"

"She'll be 45" Sakura said shuddering at the thought. "No teaching license. Nothing"

Haruto chuckled. "Serves her right. I don't what you guys are pitying her for. She has a brother doesn't she? He'll help her when she's out"

I didn't say anything. I just smiled. No one could understand the joy in my heart. Miss Park is finally going to get what she deserves. That stupid bitch is finally going to get imprisoned tomorrow. I'm going to see her and tell her what she did. She'll be so shocked.

It took two good weeks to get everything done. The police had to do an investigation to know if my story was true. Well, I and Haruto had planned for that anyway. We planted some bondage ropes made of bamboo silk in her room. They don't leave marks on the skin even when a person struggles. The highest they can get is light pink marks which would fade away within a day.

The police had questions about the silk considering the fact that they were really expensive. So expensive a teacher with a meager salary could not afford in even if he/she saves for ten years. I had to make up a quick lie and said she made me buy them.

We also planted some ball gags covered in my dry saliva and blindfolds made of satin. I kept some of my dirty underwear in her drawer and a few whips but I told them she didn't use the whips on me.

One thing nearly busted us though. They didn't find her finger prints on any of them. I had to come up with a quick lie and say she wears gloves most times. They couldn't find any gloves but the rest of the things they found made my story true. My mum pushed the whole thing until the judge finally gave her a sentence of twenty years in prison.

The look of pure shock on her face was satisfying. Even her brother started to sympathize with me. I couldn't believe how good of an actor I was. I wanted her story to spread throughout the city but my parents quickly put an end to it because they didn't want their son publicized for such a thing.

I didn't mind though. The entire school already knew. Their families knew and that would spread to their places of work. And those at work will tell their own families and it'll keep spreading. It's okay if people won't openly talk about it. At least, she had been thoroughly humiliated.
