Rainy Days (4)

"You know he doesn't even wash his hand after taking shit and also use the same hands to eat."

"He does look like someone who eats shit; his cooking should also be shit."

"His room also smells like vomit, I once went to his room for god's sake I still regret it. I am telling you even horse stable trashbin will look more beautiful than his room."

"Do horse stables have trashbin??"

"Logic is irrelevant! Just focus on cursing him or you will be targeted instead."

"You're right, I saw him once dipping his foot into shit and licking it like a dog."

"That's my boy! Bring some more boys!! Is your sordidness only amount to this much!!! Bring your worst!!!!"

'THAT DAMN LUCAS! HE HIMSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, HE IS CALLING OTHER STUDENT WITH HIM TO CORNER ME!!'

They are even calling student from other classes just to insult him! Student are flocking like feather just show they can insult him!!

Jealousy has decreased their IQ but not for nothing as it has increases their cursing IQ to another level! He was already outnumbered but jealousy buff is making them invincible here!!

Ethan pushes himself up and walks through passage between desks. He knows staying here will only result him getting insulted in brutal way. His suddenly fell forward.

Thud.

He turns around and sees all students have extended their legs outside from their desk. It's hard to tell which legs was his culprit. Ethan remembers all faces and leaves the classroom.

Ring-Ring.

Ethan was walking toward training room when his I-Link rang twice.

A Message? From unknown?

[At 2:00 p.m. At XXXpark]

A secret message from an unknown number means only one thing.

"A Confession!!"

Ethan went to training with excited face, corner of his lips is trembling was excitement. Maybe this incident was blessing in disguise. She may be same person who leaves those flowers besides his bed. Knowing it is her last chance she finally comes out to make things clear. His good days finally showing itself!

There is a saying that says 'Everyday dogs have his days'. Its meaning is simple; As long as you struggle in rainy days, A day will come when happiness will shine at you like a sun in bright day.

"Alice."

Ethan said in sweetest voice.

"What is it? Ethan."

Alice also replied with a smile, she was drawing the string of her bow along with an arrow.

"You are beautiful girl, you know?"

Her smile brightens at his compliment.

"Thank you."

"You are also a smart girl."

"I know that, Ethan."

"Then mind telling me why I am hanging upside down in this tree?"

Ethan was swinging back and forth while hanging by a rope to a tree. He might have considered cutting rope if not for a certain beautiful girl drawing an arrow on a bow at his head.

He regretted not saving her number. He didn't save her number in fear of getting strangled to death by Lucas and he also deleted her messages as she had told him or else he wouldn't have suffered like this.

"Well, I need to leash my dog if he bites other people? Don't you think?"

"What the hell are you talking about?!!"

Ethan has enough of this! He is being treated like trash everywhere he goes!! He snapped out finally as he starts talking in aggressive tone.

Wooosh.

An arrow passes by his scapha of his ear at the high speed.

"Ahh, My focus was on the arrow, did you say something?"

"I was saying you look like a bow goddess from my view."

"Oh my, Thank You. But you know that's not what I want to know."

"Listen Alice, You must believe me. That woman is devil."

His throat feels heavy as he told her everything he went through. His instinct was telling him that she will believe in him.

"So, you are telling me she framed you?"

"Yes."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Do I look like someone who will do something like that?"

She raised her head as her eyes look down on me.

"True, it's unlikely anyone will fall for you."

"Hey, I wasn't talking about that."

She released an arrow and from the bow and cut the rope hanging him to tree.

'At the least, she trusted me. She is hundred times better than likes of Lucas!'

"What are you going to do now? I don't think you will have easy lives from now."

"Wait for the storm to pass away."

She looked at him with an appraising gaze. She really has hard time figuring him out. Sometimes he act like a naïve guy or sometimes stubborn or sometimes cowardly or indifferent. It's like he is a knot of personality.

"Good Luck."

She moves toward the small forest and start melting in its shadow. It's my first time seeing a Shadow Movement Art. Ethan can't help but get excited.

'It is as cool as I thought!'

Next Day,

Ethan was standing in front of his desk. Ethan has sharp nose that can easily let him smell things from wide range. He can clearly smell something foul from his desk.

Lucas may be a scum but he refuse to believe he will done something so despicable as a prank!

"I swear to God I didn't do it. I may have lost myself yesterday but jokes are only fun for once after that it turn into harassment."

Lucas confessed right after coming into classroom. Ethan just shakes his head and look for a new desk. There is no way he is go sit on this desk!

After classes ended,

Ethan was leaving for training when someone extend his leg from the desk with clear intention to jack him, Ethan just skip it.

'How childish.'

It was already an old trick there is no way he will fall for same trick twice-

Thud.

His face hit the ground! Again!!

It doesn't make sense he clearly dodge the foot! Why did he fall then?!!

He turns around and looks for cause but only he meet was faces filled with mockery and sneers.

'A skill or spell?'

It is unlikely spell since casting time was too short. Ethan picks himself and leaves the classroom with cautious steps.
