Chapter 5

Before he could drag Vivian out of the cafeteria, Ken and Lola walked over to help her out, but he couldn't get any closer because Nuchos' friends prevented anyone from getting close.

Vivian tried her very best to break free but to no avail.

Just then, almost at once, a man's voice called out, "Let her go this insistence Costa Kalecky Nucho!" It was a clear, confident voice, rather low-pitched, and quite familiar to most of the students, especially Nucho.

Everybody seemed to have frozen for some seconds. Then the voice said, "Didn't you hear what I said? Nucho, let the girl go!"

When Nucho turned, upon seeing who was speaking, his heart turned a somersault, cold blood ran through his body. Cause standing at the back door entrance of the cafeteria was Nuchos' Dad. Mr James Dylan Kalecky. Mayor of the town, most feared, powerful, and stinking rich mayor in the region.

"What?... Dad, what are you doing here?" Asked Nucho, surprised and bewildered.

"What am doing here matters not. You've got some explanation to do, young man. Meet me in the principals office immediately and let that girl go, " said Nucho's Dad and walked out.

Filled with anger and humiliation, Nucho said to Vivian. "You are lucky this time. Don't think I am going to drop this, I will surely get you back for this. You are going to regret it for the rest of your miserable life!"

"Don't worry about me. My life is filled with regrets that one more won't hurt. You can bark as much as you want while you can, cause it might be your very last." Vivian said scornfuly.

Nucho got frustrated and angry that he vigorously threw Vivian and walked out together with his friends. Vivian was lucky enough that Ken was there to catch her.

"Are you all right? That guy could have hurt you. You didn't have to act so brave and stuff." said ken, gently helping Vivian stabilize herself.

"Get away from me! I don't need your help or anyone's help." snapped Vivian, pushing Ken away.

Vivian stared at the soaked fabric clinging to her arm in wide-eyed disbelief and trudged off to the restroom.
