Pain

I SLOWLY lifted the body from the clinic bed. Peps is still here, he really waited for me to be treated by the nurse who is on duty now.

My head was slightly bowed while he was staring at my face he slowly lowered his gaze to my blouse there I also just noticed that I lost two buttons on my uniform I pulled the blanket next to it and covered the chest.

He felt a little embarrassed because his face turned red.

"Are you okay?" I heard a question.

"Yes, thank you."

"Don't think that I brought you here because I sided with you. What he did was really wrong so I did it."

"Thanks anyway." I stared straight at it.

"Next time I won't save you. Don't even think that I'm your knight in shining armor, huh? Maybe you even hoped to be my boyfriend."

I spontaneously opened my mouth at his arrogance. Peps is like this when you look at his serious person but he also has arrogance.

"I never in love with someone."

"Someone what?"

"Fresh." Courage is my answer.

"Do you want to increase those bruises on your face?" Its a threat.

"I mean, I didn't say it was you." Fill it up.

"I don't believe many have said I'm fresh."

"That's it, why don't you just accept it?" I whispered.

"I heard you!" Same teaching.

I made a peace sign but I was just staring.

"I'm sorry if you're going to be punished because of me."

Stand it up.

"You don't have to apologize to our well-trained body for the punishments imposed on us. Of course, you will get stronger right away. You will go through hardships before you can go home."

No goodbye it came out of the clinic.

Will I still have a hard time? Really? Does this mean that I am in danger again?

The nurse allowed me to go out. I went at the time of our class but he was a new professor so when he saw that I had wounds and bruises, he wasn't surprised. When it turns out there are stubs given the L-kingdom everyone will know. It's also weird to catch up with all the better reporters when they move. How can I escape now? How can I escape the disciples of the L-kingdom? I had to get away and escape their punishment.

"Miss Reign! Are you listening?" Curiosity of our Professor.

I got up immediately.

"Sorry sir."

"I know what you're going through right now Reign but I hope you'll listen so that might be the reason for you dropping the grades."

"It will not happen again." I said and sat down again.

"Let me defend you against those crazy L-kingdoms." My male classmate whispered to me to slap.

"What are you up against with those?" I looked him up and down.

"Well, let's just help you get away from them. There are many ways for them to escape or run away."

I just kept quiet because what it was saying was unbelievable. I don't even know his name so why should I trust him?

Do I know if he is also one of those who will torture me.

It was BREAK TIME and I had to eat but since there were so many people in the canteen I decided to eat under the mango tree. This place is airy and fresh. It's good that there are no such students hanging out and at least my world seems to be quiet when I'm here.

Even when it's really delicious for mama to cook adobong isaw, that's why I still prefer to bury rice rather than buy at the canteen for less cost.

I hope this last subject of ours doesn't beat me up anymore. It hurts to be beaten. I still feel the swelling of my muscles from the kicking and the punch to the body as if I fought it in boxing without even a fight. I should have practiced martial arts, eh, I hope I didn't feel it now.

"Frenny." I was stunned by the food and the thought. "How are you? The amount of wounds you have." She worries.

"Why are you here?"

"Do not you like?" She was embarrassed to ask.

"I thought you didn't want to get involved? why are you here now and approaching me?"

She looked around, "No one sees I can approach you and say hello."

"I'm fine, you're gone."

"I'll go with you."

"Nevermind!" I'm worried.

"Why don't you ??" This question is disgusting.

"Because you don't want to get hurt, do you? Leave Nicole. I don't want anything bad to happen soon and maybe it's still my fault."

"I just want to help you. I know that even though you're like that, you're just being brave but the truth is you want to cry and you're looking for someone to lean on."

"Right now I don't need that. I can afford it myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!" I put away what I was using and then left her.

She should have just insisted on staying away from hurting me and making me look like I had no sensible friends to go with anywhere.

As I walked, the bottom of my shoe suddenly opened. It's broken and needs to be replaced carefully. The rubber shoes that dad gave me are still in my locker.

I still carefully walked towards the locker to open I couldn’t find the rubber shoes. I don't take it here and especially I don't take it home because I seem to have a reserve at school.

"Is this what you're looking for?" I heard the curiosity of the man next to me.

I turned to the speaker. I wasn’t ready because he threw rubber shoes at me.

Unfortunately it hit my face it caused me to collapse I was a bit taken aback because of what happened.

"Cedric, you shouldn't have done that." Joseph said angrily.

"Don't interfere in this if you don't want to be punished either." Cedric's bold threat.

When I felt that the thread was gone I immediately took the rubber. What used to be white has now turned black because of the mud. The former is now completely ruined.

I remember dad. I remember her smiles the day she gave it to me. His smiles as he reaches out to me but instead of happiness I feel now I'm just angry with the man which is why I feel angry.

My tears flowed I couldn’t help but also don’t care if they see me hugging rubber shoes while sobbing in pain.

"Over acting huh? Crying rubber shoes?" Axel said laughing.

I watched the three standing not far in the middle with Cedric as he was next to Joseph and Axel. They were smiling except Joseph who was worried about my condition.

"Why are you crying? I didn't throw shoes at you so hard!"

YOU ARE REALLY A TAX.

I stood still holding the rubber shoes and wiped away the tears as he slowly approached we had an inch away from each other.

"You don't know how important these shoes are to me because you can buy a lot of rubber shoes!"

"It's really hard for you. You want me to change your rubber shoes and different colors!"

"You're so bad! You're so bad! You don't even know!" I scolded before they left.

I ran to the women’s bathroom there I poured out the pain I was feeling.

This is just what Dad remembered me when he wasn't sick and then those people who were beaten up would just imagine that and especially that Cedric! I will also get revenge on him one day and I am sure he will cry right in front of me.
