Connections

CHAPTER 07 | Connections |

"He meant to give it to, Tine, to accuse our friend." I was stunned to step into what was said, Archy. I know she's accusing me.

I just shook my head and continued climbing, they don't know and they don't see the whole story so there's no use explaining what happened or explaining myself to them. Besides, I don't have anything to explain to them. I will just waste saliva for people like them.

"Isn't it Serene? You meant that?" Really? And she has the gut to mention my name?

I smiled at them, I was a little surprised to see that Prine was still there.

"W-I don't know what you're saying." I turned to Tine's friends before rushing upstairs to step on the floor of our room.

I closed my eyes tightly when the look of, Prine flashed back to me earlier. I'm sure he heard what Archy and Givanne were talking about. What will he think of me ?!

Hayst! Probably he'll think that I'm a bad person and I deserve those who bully me both physical and verbal.

Wait! Why am I thinking of, Prine's opinion here? When else have I thought about what other people will say to me? Eh, I'm used to the fact that apart from my friends and some classmates, almost all the population in this school has the same perspective about me?

"Are you upset? It's just the two of you." Comment by, Mae when I come to the room. Lian is also here with a long snout. I really noticed his bad mood since school started, he wasn't like that before.

I sat next to Lian and Mae first because the teacher wasn't there and the class hadn't started yet. Actually our seat arrangement is far from each other, we can no longer talk and copy to each other because of our distance.

"I don't really believe in your reason? What's with you and Clark?" I'm referring to Clark is the transfer that suddenly pulled Lian when we were going to the cafeteria.

"Did I say that? The man just needs something about the assignment." He said while avoiding looking. Mae and I looked at each other, Mae raised her eyebrow slightly at me.

"Eh why just stare at that?" Yes, Mae. Lian shrugged.

"Maybe he's just staring like that. You know those eyes." I sniffed and thought of his eye, Clark. That's beautiful and cute, that classmate of mine is also handsome, but compared to, Prine, Prine is more charming. Just as serious as he is, Clark is a bit scary too.

Wait! Why is Prine inserted in my mind?

Our second period class was about to end when I felt my cellphone vibrate. I sneaked my phone out while our lecturer was speaking.

Yushi Fukawa:

Hi Serene! I'm here at school meet me at the deans office.

I immediately smiled at my cousin’s text, the truth is that mommy and aunt Louise, the owner of this school, are sisters. Son of, aunt Louise Yushi who is my close cousin.

"Guys are in the dean's office, Yushi." I smile announcing to friends. Lian's eyes were immediately excited and shining. They also know Yushi because we were seniors then.

I watched Mae's reaction now frown.

"You want to come along?"

"I don't want to," Mae replied immediately, without even hesitation. My cousin used to flirt with her but she criticized her, because she was bitter in love, Mae. If, Lian has an ex and also has a lover, I didn't make the mistake of flirting.

"Hey! You're still bitter, aren't you, Yushi? You're just angry because I left you." Teasing him by, Lian.

"Shut up!" Mae disobeyed him.

"Are you okay?" I asked again.

"She doesn't want to, Mae. I'll just go with our grieving friend." Harvesting, Lian.

"Maybe you're the grief?" Almost at the same time we said, Mae to Lian.

"How's that? He's the only one who might be bullied again." Concern for the harvest, Lian.

"I'm fine in the dean's office, no one will try." I assured them. They really care for me, even a few days since it happened in the bathroom, the guard still closed me two. Because Mae really doesn't want to see Yushi, I'm alone.

"Yushi how are you!" The amount he also changed ah!

"I'm fine Serene, you're a big girl now huh?" He also commented on me. "It's a pity I didn't attend your debut, but mommy sent me your pictures. It's nice." Maybe we haven't seen each other in two years.

"Yushi I'm flattered!"

"Let's go to the cafeteria! Treat us? Where are your friends?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Are you looking for my friends or Mae? Come on you can directly ask Yushi." Yushi laughed and shook his head at me. Then he messed up my hair like a child.

"So cute Serene, but darling I have a girlfriend in Japan." My eyes widened!

"Ow well that's good to hear!" He chuckled at me.

"You go outside first, I'll just take my cellphone." I nodded and took the lead. I texted Lian and Mae about what Yushi told me.

"Hey, from the deans office oh?"

"That probably collected his connections again."

"I know that's stupid, it's just passing because of the connection." I took a deep breath. Few of them know that I have Vellomina on my name, others are hindu know and I would rather they never know.

And what did they say? I'm a bobo ?!

I'll admit I'm not good at academics but maybe no one is stupid? They are too much ah!

I just ignored it, I focused even more on the chaos nearby.

My lips parted when I saw Tine sink into the grass because someone pushed him. Without hesitation I approached, many people were curious but no one dared to help Tine!

I saw the woman approaching Tine. He was about to slap Tine but I immediately preceded him.

So that she wouldn't slap Tine, I grabbed her hair. "Stop that!" When I took him away from, Tine was the one I approached. I helped her stand up before facing the furious, Grecel I knew her as one of the elites of this school.

"What's the matter with you Serene! Don't know about this! Don't be ignorant and that sloppy scholar is to blame for me." He even pointed at me.

"Grecel, if she's at fault, Tine can talk about it, you don't need to push her."

"Don't you dare tell me what to do Serene." He said to Tine at the same time. I didn't let him take Tine so I held his hand.

He was stubborn so I could do nothing but use the basic self defense I had learned. I twisted her hand toward her back.

"Ouch!" He immediately cried out in pain.

"What's going on here?" I was shocked to hear that baritone voice. I immediately let go of Grecel when Prine's sharp eyes met mine.
