Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When I woke up it was the angry face of my principal and adviser that I immediately saw.

"Ma'am," I said nervously then got up from my bed.

I was at the school clinic. I am safe. I thought I was at the end.

“Ms. Valderoza! What are you doing? Why did you do that? What a sin you have committed! ”

"What do you mean?" I asked in astonishment.

“You're still crazy! You burned down my office! All important school papers were burned! It's good and it's on time because otherwise the whole campus would have been on fire! ” Immediately my eyes widened at what he said.

“I-I didn't do that. I have nothing to do with the fire. I'm not at fault, ”I explained tearfully.

"I was ordered to go to your office so I was there because you ordered me."

“And you will still touch me! I didn't tell you to go to the office. ”

“Yes? Per— ”

“You can’t hide the truth, Ms. Valderoza. We’ve an evidence, ”he said as my adviser took a lighter from my bag.

“T-teka. . . I don’t know how that got into my bag. Ma’am, believe me, I’m not at fault. ”

“Don't feed us. You have committed a great sin! ”

"Please forgive me."

“You’re late. We’ll not give you a second chance! The impact on the school is huge. Important documents were burned and some of that is the school records. Others did not have copies because other copies of mine were also affected by the fire. I'm sorry, but I can't accept you at this school anymore. Find a school that will accept you because you will take your bad records to this school for the rest of your life! You don’t have to send your parents here because even if they ask, you won’t be accepted here! ”

“Ma’am, please don’t. Have mercy, ”I cried, pleading.

“Just find another school. You haven't taken the exam yet because the class has just started. ”

“Please don't. I feel sorry for you — don't do this to me. I am not at fault. I didn't do that, ”I cried, pleading. But our principal just turned his back on me.

"Ma'am, please," I tearfully pleaded with our adviser.

"I'm sorry, Thea."

That was his only answer before following the principal. I cried even more. How is my study? I didn't do that. I’m sure Faye did it. They planned it all.

They have no mercy! So out of anger I went back to the classroom. I'm sure they're still here. They are also my classmates. I bravely opened our classroom. And there, I caught them laughing. They were all stunned by my arrival.

"Why did you do that?!" I asked him angrily. He stood up and then approached me.

"Which?" he innocently asked me.

“What happened, Thea? Why does your face look dirty? Did that come from the smoke? Then why does it smell like fire? Hahaha, ”asked a colleague of his.

“Like you! You did it! You burned down your office and I was the one to blame! Demons because— ”

I never finished what I was saying because a loud slap was given to me by Faye. My tears flowed one after another.

“How dare you, bitch! The courage to shout and accuse us! Do you have proof? Did you see us in the office? Not ’right? So, shut your motherf*ck*ng mouth, bitch! The thickness of your face! Don't blame us for your stupidity. Well, good luck to you. Haha, Althea Ellez Valderoza, burned the Principal’s Office. You're great, hahaha. You will be famous for that, ”Faye said sarcastically.

"Get out because you are no longer welcome here!" he said then pushed me out. But before I left I first looked at them so badly that they never saw me.

“Stop hiding in the shadow of your demon! You have time too! I will never forget what you did! You will also have karma. ”

“Very well said. Get out! ” he shouted at me. I just left because I might lose sight of them.

I was stunned as I walked. I do not know what to do. I'm in a mess.

I just cried.

How do I tell my parents? Which school will I go to? Why am I experiencing all this? Ever since we broke up with that man, I've been doubly unlucky. My unlucky!

I am about to enter an alley. There is a shortcut here to the restaurant. There’s also not much going on here just me.

"T-that's right... Have mercy." I heard a voice deep inside. I was surprised so I didn't go first. I hid in the wall and peeked a little. And my eyes widened at what I saw.

There was a bloody man kneeling in front of a group of men.

What are they doing here? Then why does your one have a gun? It focused on the bloody man's forehead.

"Your courage to fight us!"

"Have mercy on me."

"We have no mercy on someone like you. Tsk! Say goodbye to your colleagues because it will be your last day, bastard."

"Please, don't kill me. I'm begging you," he pleaded, but they just didn't seem to hear him and even laughed.

"Sorry, boy. Bye! Bye, little boy."

I just put my hand over my mouth. Your man, they shot you in the head. I could clearly see its blood flowing on the floor. I was almost deafened by the strength of my heartbeat.

I slowly backed away, but as I backed away I came across the can that was scattered here. They turned to me at the same time.

"Damn! There's a woman!"

I ran right away, but I felt like they were chasing me. Hala! How is that? Did they face me? It killed me. Maybe they'll follow me.

I ran too fast. I no longer knew where I was going. My God! Save me. Even just now, please.

IM very tired. I can not take it anymore. Exactly I stopped. They weren't there yet so I looked for a place to hide, but there was none. I can only see cars.

I looked at the car in front of me. This is where I will hide. I bravely opened the car then entered and quickly closed the door.

I just leaned over, I was out of breath. My hair is blown out, my face may still have dirt from the smoke, and then I may smell smoke.

"F*ck! Who are you?"

My knees shook when someone spoke next to me. I slowly turned to her. And I almost drop my eyes and jaw at what I see.

"C-cydale?"

Why is it like this?

Stumble.

The Principal's Office was allegedly set on fire.

Found killed.

T-done. . .

In the end — I will meet ex again!

Yes, the man next to me now is my ex. Sh*t! What will I do? Wow! My face is embarrassing! And have I really thought about how I look in this situation?

"What are you doing here?" astonished he asked me.

I was caught in my chest. My heart beat faster.

"A-a-aah... Hmm-k-kasi."

My heart seems to be beating.

Wow! I’m losing myself. How do I explain?

"What?" he asked somewhat irritably.

"H-chasing... I'm a-men," I stammered back to him.

He raised an eyebrow at me before looking at my whole being.

"In that face of yours, are men really still chasing you?" I was even insulted! That's not what I mean.

"It's not like that. They'll kill me too. I have to hide from them."

"What are you talking about?"

"I-there were men before. They were chasing me because I saw someone killed them. Waah! I don't want to! Maybe they'll follow me," I said as if I didn't say anything to myself.

"You're crazy."

"I'm not crazy. That's true."

"I don't believe you. Are you done leaving? If yes, you can leave."

"It's not a show. I'm telling the truth."

"Stop it! You're just wasting my time. Out!" he then pointed to the door of his car. I did not follow him. It's so scary.

"I said out."

"I do not want."

"Damn! Can you not make me angry. Go away."

"You're serious. If you can just drive me away. It's like we're not together, ah! Are you really that numb?" He was stunned by what I said. What am I saying.

"Nothing really," he replied coldly then avoided looking at me. It was as if my heart was broken again for the second time.

"Ah, yes, it's just nothing. Ha-ha, it's just pretend, it's just dare, it's just a bet. Thank you, ah, because you reminded me it's just nothing because I might assume I'm back, "I said sarcastically then wiped the tears dripping down my cheeks. Pesting tears! Traitor!

"But it's really painful. Annoying! Why are you still? I can still accept other people hurting me, but if you are? I can't accept!"

"Stop it! You're just wasting tears."

"I don't care. Tell me, why me? Why are you playing with me? Explain it to me."

"Tell me, why?" I asked tearfully.

"Why me? Why are you still playing with me?"

"Because you're worthless! You're easy to spin. You're easy to swallow. You're easy to play with so why would I look for another playmate if it's just you, I'm already a winner."

Sh*t! It was as if my personality had been trampled on over and over again. I seem to have forgotten everything that happened because of what he said.

"For a year, did I mean nothing to you? Even a little love and care — is it really nothing?"

"Nothing. Even a little nothing." I just closed my eyes. Why am I still hopeful?

"You know, I thought when I was down too much I thought you would help me, but it wasn't because you yourself fell on me too much. And the pain because of my fall didn't even take part. I thought I hope you can help me, but no. Thank you for everything. I'm sorry if I got in your car, I don't know about you because I don't really know anything about you. I know who you are. As far as I know, you're a cheater! Don't worry I won't show you again. I hope you're happy now because you're the winner of the game you started. "

I was about to get out of his car, but I was surprised when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back causing me to lean on his chest.

"Are they?"

"Huh?"

"Stupid. You're chasing you. Are they?" he asked while pointing outside. I looked over there. Hala! Yes, but they have covered their faces now. But I’m sure they were because I recognized the clothes they were wearing.

"Y-yes. They are," I answered once in front of him. I almost held my breath as we faced each other.

It was the first time I could look at him so closely. I was almost scorned in my mind for her handsomeness.

"They're gone." I went back to reality when he spoke. I was so stunned by him. But, thankfully he believed someone was chasing me. If he let me out I might be the end.

"Why does it smell like smoke?" I swallowed my saliva because of his question. Color! Embarrassing.

"Is it you?"

"Ha? Ahm-I burned trash earlier," I blurted out. He nodded.

"You can leave now," he coldly ordered then let me go. I just nodded and then opened the door. Before I left I looked at him first.

"Thank you for hurting me." I let out a strained smile. I have said that in many ways.

"Goodbye." That was the last thing I said before I left. I hoped he would stop me and tell me to stay by his side, but it didn’t happen.

They say everything happens for a reason so I also believe there is a reason why it all happens to me.

There is more to be troubled and imagined than him. I should think more about where I will study now. Then how can I escape my pursuers lest they find me and affect my family. I will not let that happen.

I don't think they'll come back to me if I don't report it, right? Then I didn't know what really happened so I just kept quiet. I'm sorry, but I don't want to hurt my family. I just changed paths. I don't want to go back there and I might be the one to blame.

I can do this. I can study too. Lord, I hope you send an angel to help me, huhu.
