Chapter 7

Chapter 7

"It's true."

"Well, at least it's not like your hair. It looks like grass being fed to the horse." I was offended by what he said. The thickness, ah! My hair is beautiful even if I don't comb it once. His judgmental. The same as him!

"You're judgmental!"

"I'm just telling what I've seen right now." Sarcastic he said then glanced at my hair.

"My hair doesn't look like grass, ah." I sadly promise while holding my hair. I glanced at Zayden who was now looking at me. "Liam says I'm still beautiful even if I'm not combing." I said while looking at him. Suddenly his eyebrows met.

"And did you believe that?" I nodded. "Don't believe Liam. You're ugly, whether you're combed or not. I said so that's true." I frowned at what he said.

"I do not believe you."

"And why?"

"Because you're not telling me the truth. So why would I believe what you say I'm ugly? You're just lying so I still won't believe what you say." He looked at me because of what I said.

"We will be punished." Its response was cold so I was surprised.

"What p-punishment, Zayden?"

"I want you to eat this swinish food in my hair with your own tongue. Right now! Right here!" What?

"Zayden, I'm not a dog or a pig to do that. I don't want to."

"Just imagine that you are a horse that needs to feed a grass." A gross! I do not want to!

"I do not want."

"You must."

"I don't! I don't!" What is he lucky about? I'm not crazy about slapping spaghetti in her hair.

"You love me, don't you?" I was stunned by his question. Why is he asking that?

"They said, if you love someone, you're willing to do anything just to make her/him happy. Am I right? So, now just do what I said and I'll be very happy." Smiling promises it.

"U-hope you don't love me so I won't do what you say."

"You're lying. You still love me. You still do."

"H-don't say that, eh!" Why did we end up with that dear? Isn't he counted?

"You still love me. And when you say no again, you're the most lying woman I've ever met." There is emphasis it tells me.

"H-I don't love you anymore." I stuttered and was about to leave, but I stopped at what he said.

"When you walk out that door tell me you don't really love me anymore." And at the same time I turned around he mentioned ---

"You didn't come out and because you turned around, it's true you still love me." I fell silent and stunned. Sh*t, Zayden! I'm nervous about you. "You were quiet, so I'll considered that as a yes and because you stunned me it's just one thing, you were still into me."

I was backing away when he slowly approached me until I realized that my back was stuck to the door.

Not yet dead end. But I chose to stay. Why? K-because everything he said was true?

"Z-zayden." I barely mentioned when he cornered me. I almost held my breath because he was so close. Why does he smell? Nakakainlove lalo.

"My dear, ex." I closed my eyes tightly when he put his mouth to my ear and whispered it. Takte! I had goosebumps. "Do you love me?" He asked calmly.

"Z-zayden."

"Just answer my damn question. Do you still love me?" Consecutive swallows I did. What the heck, Zayden! Will you kill me on twitter because of what you are doing?

"I want to hear it from you." I could feel his breath touch my ear. Omoo! I'm going crazy because of this. Whatever. I can't do this anymore.

"I-I still love you. I love you so much." I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"I'm right. You still do. So you'll do what I want."

"Z-zayden, that spaghett is dirty__"

"I know. I changed my mind. I'll change your scourge."

"Eh, what?"

"There's a fight going on at school. I'm leading a fight and I'm going to fight you."

"Contest? I don't know how to walk."

"Not a normal contest, woman. It isn't a pageant nor a sports contest."

"Eh, what about __"

"Duel. Battle." What? Duel? Battle?

"You're going to wrestle with your fellow students. That's what I want you to do." I was especially nervous because of what he said.

"Zayden, I don't know how to fight that kind of thing. I don't know anything about that." He slowly moved away from me and then we settled down.

"That's not my problem. Just..do..as..I..say! And don't tell Liam about it later when it's a fight. Next week will be the battle. You must prepare yourself until that day comes. " He then promised to give me a demon smile.

"You can leave now." He ordered then turned his back on me. I was just stunned.

Why, Zayden? Why me? Just because of that he will punish me like that. What am I up against? I'm not even slapped so hard, can I still fight the massacre?

"Are you okay, Thea?" I turned to Ciara who was now next to me. "Are you thinking of anything?"

"Ciara, is there really a fight going on here?"

"Yes. Every week there is a fight. You know the section of every is fighting." He replied. I understand that somehow.

"Did you fight too?"

"Yes."

"Really? Did you win?" He smiled and then nodded.

"How did you cope?"

"My twin brother, Roux taught me how to fight. You know he's at 12 A. Everyone in the special section is veteran." Eh, he Liam? But I’m not allowed to tell him because Zayden doesn’t want to.

"Why is there something like this in this school?"

"To challenge the students. Not a normal school activity. And to find out who is strong and who is suitable for it. If you are weak you can't be here."

"C-ciara, am I? Will fight too?" I pretend to ask.

"Yes, Thea. Especially since you're a new student here. Why are you fighting?" Its a startling question.

"H-huh? Not yet."

"Really. Well, if you fight I'm here to support us." Pfttt. Ciara really.

"All right. Thank you." That's how my life went all day. I go with Ciara as much as possible, I avoid Liam first because he might notice that I will fight. Can't I run away anymore? Arghh! Why am I sending Zayden?

A few days passed and what I feared came. It's time to fight. I’m already here on the school battlefield. I haven’t seen Liam and Ciara yet because I came here early. I could hear the screams of the students causing the nervousness to live on in my chest even more. I haven’t shown up and I haven’t seen my opponent yet.

"Get ready." I turned to the speaker. I saw Zayden and his friends standing in front of me. My eyes searched for Liam, but he wasn’t there yet.

"Zayden, who's going to fight now. I'm still looking for Thea so hind__Thea?" Liam suddenly appeared gasping for breath.

"You're just here. I've been looking for you for a while, Thea."

"L-liam kas__" I couldn't continue what I was about to say because suddenly someone announced.

"Good morning everyone. We are here to witness the battle of each student. And the participants today are from senior high. From 12 B and 12 D."

"WOAHHHHHH !!!! COOL SECTIONS !!!"

"THE WHOOOOOO ???"

"Haha, relax. Here, she's from Grade 12 B."

"YAHHHHH 12 B !!!" 12 B? Where is my opponent from? Hala!

"Shout your section 12 B. Let us all welcome, Niesha Jaiko Raffo !!!"

"WOAHHH !!! NIESHA !!! COOL !!!"

I looked at those I could fight. Your woman in the cafeteria, the one who pushed me. He entered inside the battlefield-- a square made of wire and iron. Its closed has a large chain.

"And now, from 12 D !!!"

"I WONDER WHO?"

"The new student Althea Ellez Valderoza !!!"

"NEW !! OK 'YANNN !!"

"Z-zayden." Shocked I said. I'm scared. I do not want! I can not do it.

"F*ck! It's you, Thea?" Liam's question to me seemed unbelievable.

"Yes, Liam."

"What the heck ?! Why didn't you tell me right away ?!" He asked angrily.

"I'm sorry, Liam."

"No, Thea! You won't fight!"

"He will fight whether you agree or not."-(ZAYDEN)

DE LOUGHREY! are you the one pushing THEEA to fight? "

"Yes. I am. Is there something wrong?"

"No, Zayden. I'll just fight, not Thea."

"Why you? Section D ka ba? As far as I know section A ka." Zayden didn't seem to want to say anything.

"I don't care. I'll fight. Come on, Thea." Liam pulled me up quickly, but Zayden blocked us.

"Don't you dare take her away from here. Let her go if you don't want to be hospitalized early." I was shocked when Liam suddenly cornered Zayden.

"Even if you scare me a hundred times, I won't be afraid of you! P*ta ka Zayden! Why Thea? She doesn't know anything about this!"

"Tsk. He came in here so he must be ready for what might happen. How can your pet be brave if he doesn't fight? He must learn."

"Do you want to ruin Thea? Zayden, wake up! Thea has no fight." Zayden grinned then removed Liam's grip on his collar.

"I do not care." It was as if he made Liam and I look at that word.

"I'm begging you, don't Thea, please." Begging Liam said. It was as if cold ice had been poured on me. Liam, why? "Since then you've been giving me everything I ask of you so I hope you'll grant me what I'm asking for now. Don't be Thea, she's important to me. Please, Zayden."

"I can give you, but not her. Stop begging in front of me because it's useless. She will fight now. No one can stop me even you, Liam."

"You're heartless!"

"I don't care. Fight back. Don't embarrass me." He was mad at me.

"Zayden, are you really sure of this?" A colleague of his asked.

"I think, Liam is right. He has nothing against Niesha."

"F*ck! Bastard! Don't bother me!" Its angry growl at his colleagues. They did nothing but keep quiet.

"WHERE'S ALTHEA?"

BOOOO It's broken

since! "

"I'M AFRAID !!!" Complaints of a few. I was surprised when Zayden grabbed my arm and pulled me out.

"Zayden, no!" I heard Liam say. When I turned to look at him his friends were preventing him from following us.

"Wahhhh! Zayden. Hala! She's the girl who embarrassed Zayden in the Cafeteria."

"Yeah. Uh-oh! I think that's her punishment. Haha, it's just right for her."

"Z-zayden, don't. I don't want to. I'm scared." Begging I said, but he seemed to hear nothing. When we reached the front of the battlefield, he introduced me to him. We were far away from the students so they couldn’t hear what we were saying.

"Z-zayden I'm scared." Cry-cry I said.

"Don't be a coward. Learn to fight and stand on your own two feet. I don't want you to be weak. I want you to fight with your own abilities. I don't want you to depend on other people especially Liam." It says it seriously. It was as if my heart melted at what he said. He looked into my eyes very seriously.

"I want you to just rely on me and beg. Fight as hard as you can." He slowly moved away from me and turned his back on me. "But if you can't, shout my name. Don't name anyone else and especially don't name Liam."

That was the last thing he said then sat in a chair outside the square. I think for them his friends' those seats near here. But he was the only one here because his colleagues were left there as well as Liam. He said, I will shout his name when I can no longer. Don't name others and especially don't name Liam.

I entered the square. A few here quickly locked the door. Niesha and I are the only ones here. I'm nervous! There was still no pity on his face. What am I up against? Not really.

"We're also facing up again." Smiling demon said it. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be here. If he hadn't pushed me I wouldn't be here! She was even worse than Faye.

"START NOW!" Everyone shouts. I was just backing away when Niesha chased me.

"Run, baby. You can run, but you can't hide." Peste! Are we imprisoned here?

"Please, I don't want to fight anymore. Let's stop this." I plead with him while avoiding his onslaught.

"Stop? Haha, this is what they want so why should we stop? You're too behavioral puppy." Laughing he said then pushed me. I just winced when my back hit the steel that was here. He was about to kick me just fine and I immediately avoided. Everyone shouted.

"Fight!" It challenged me then I started. He immediately grabbed me by my arm. I just screamed when he squeezed it too hard. Very painful!

"You're weak!" He then promised to punch me in the stomach. I just got on my knees because of the pain. I almost vomited in so much pain!

"BOOOO !!!!" He was still not satisfied because he pulled me upright while holding my hair and suddenly hit my face on the barrier that was here. I felt blood flowing from my forehead as well as my nose. Sh*t! I hit too hard.
