CHAPTER 9: TRUTH (PART 2)

"How long have you been there? What did you hear ?," I asked him.

"Everything you said I heard it. How did you meet Shin ?" he said.

"You don't have to know that," I said and turned away from him.

"Do you want to know what happened when you fell into a coma ?," Because of what he said I turned back at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you use your position in Guardians of Darkness to figure that out,"

"You can't fool me Allaine. I know you want to know who the members of Guardians of Darkness are. I won't let that happen. But I'll tell you one of my secrets,"

"What's secret ?"

"Do you remember Alexandra ?"

"Yeah, why did you ask?"

"After I said I'll destroy her family, the Guardians of Darkness have been making their move to destroy the Ferrer Company," I whispered to him.

"What?! You really mean it,"

"If I say something, I will do it,"

"Wait wait you are really good at changing the topic. Answer me. How do you know Shin?"

"Tsk. I thought I could get through. Look I can't tell you why I knew him. That's one of my biggest secrets, I can't tell you,"

"I understand. But please, tell me why are you so angry at us? We never do anything to you. Why are you so angry?"

"I said it before, didn't I? I don't like! Those guys! Who's full! Of themselves!!"

"So that's how you think of us. Look we're not the ones who are full of ourselves. We just want to protect this school and the students. But now you are here, you can also protect this school by your strength. You using the same method as us. Killing every person who tried to mess with this school, "

I was surprised by what he said. He is not a person who has high self-esteem. He just wants to protect this school. Did I misjudge him? But why does he want to protect this school?

"Why do you want to protect this school ?"

"Because I remember what the person I like before said. She said, when she grows up she will come here because she wants to protect this school. When it was her birthday I had to leave quickly because my grandfather got sick. Then when I came back I heard she was killed and her family. So I decided to make her dreams come true, "

What's happening? Why do Allaine's words remind me of what my other friend said? Is that possible that it was him? Everyone knows I'm dead, no one knows I'm still alive except my friends and aunt. I need to confirm it.

"Is your friend's name Athena?"

"Huh? How do you know ?"

"So it was really her?"

"Tell me, how do you know her?"

"Look, Allaine, there still hope for you to meet her?"

"I know, that's why I never give up to find her. She won't die easily or stay quiet,"

"You are right, she's still alive. There is still a chance for you to meet her. It's just that, she is not ready to meet you,"

"Not ready to meet me? Why?"

"She's still seeking justice for her family. That's why she doesn't want to show up,"

"You know where she is, right? Bring me to her,"

"I can't. Please, don't tell anyone about this,"

"Why ?"

"If you don't keep it a secret, her plan all these years will be destroyed,"

"I see. As long as she's fine, I'll keep it a secret,"

"That's good. I'll tell her about this, Allaine,"

I left and went to the principal's office. Since I had no manners I did not knock and just opened the door. I forgot that the teachers had a meeting so they are here.

"Miss Laurel, did no one teach you manners ?" the male teacher asked.

"Well, sir there is. But when they disappeared I also lost manners to anyone. Also don't teach me what to do if you don't want to lose your job," I said sarcastically.

"You're just the principal's niece. So who are you to threaten me to lose my job?" he said angrily.

"Mr. Laygo, mind your words if you don't want to lose your job," my aunt said.

"Mrs. Principal, why would you do what she wants? She's just your niece?," said Sir Laygo.

"If I were you, I wouldn't say that. Look, Mr. Laygo, Jazlyn isn't just my niece. She's also the one who gives orders here at school," said my aunt.

"What do you mean giving orders?" Sir Laygo confusedly asked.

"It's simple. I am the owner of this school," I replied.

"What did you say? Hahaha, I don't believe you. The owner of this school has been dead for a long time. So why do you say that you are the owner of this school?," said sir Laygo.

"Because I'm Athena Jazlyn L. Dongfang," I said.

"What?" they said in shock.

"I know you think I'm dead. But no, I came back to pay for the people who killed my parents. So mind your own business and keep it to yourselves. If I know that someone knows about this matter other than the people here, you'll know the consequence," I said and left.

Hayst. What am I doing? Why did I say all of that? "Jazlyn, you are just here. We've been looking for you. Come on, class is about to start," Alliah said and pulled me away.

These two really appear everywhere without me noticing but thanks to them I escape the tension that I MADE. We reached the room and the teacher wasn't there yet so we sat in our chairs.

"Is she okay?" Allaine asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about her. She can handle it firmly," I said. Sorry, Allaine. I can't involve you here.

"That's good to hear. Tell her that be careful,"

Our subject teacher came and looked at me. Then began to discuss.

"Good morning class," said Ms. Reyes.

"Good morning ma'am,"

"Okay, class this coming Friday we're having a singing contest," she said and they whispered. "But there's a twist. the representative needs to pick a song that only has 1-2 minutes only. So I give you time to choose your representative,"

They are looking at me. Sh*t! I don't like their idea.

"Ma'am, Jazlyn will be our representative !" said one of my classmates. Ms. Reyes was surprised and looked at me.

"Class, please choose another representative. It seems that she doesn't want to be our class repre ....," I cut her off.

"It's fine with me," they shouted with applause.

"Quiet class, quiet. Miss Jazlyn, are you sure about this ?," said Ms. Reyes.

"I only agree with what they want once, so I'm sure about my decision," I said.

"Okay, class. Our class representative is Ms. Jazlyn," said Ms. Reyes.

They are shouting again. I noticed the one next to me was silent. What could be the problem? Well, let's just give him a clue on the day of the contest.
