he Next Day...

I'm very tired.

I'm tired and I feel like trash.

Huge thanks to the guy who kept me up the whole night by beating up the teacher's desk with a ruler!

Anthony had a good rest, he has his earphones in his ears while sleeping. Alexander, well, he had an amazing night by using the desk as a stupid drum.

My eyes started to look at the principal's door until I saw silhouette behind the door.

CLANK

The door opened to reveal the principal.

"So, have you learned your lesson?" The principal placed his hand on his hip.

"Yes, sir, please let me free! I want to get away from the devil!" I screamed and pointed at Alexander then I pointed at my eye bags, "He woke me up all night!"

The principal blinked twice in response then spoke, "Sucks to be you Ms. Parker but sure, you're free, I'll tell your adviser that you'll be absent for a day."

"Thank you~!" I bow down to the principal repeatedly which made him embarrassed.

"Okay, okay! Just get out of here and don't do that again!" He sweats drop at my sudden action.

"What's with the noise?" Alexander yawns that signal that he is awake.

"Mr. Xialong, what you did yesterday was disrespectful and I'll give you 3 weeks detention," The principal said pushing his glasses up, "Go home."

"Tsk. Whatever," He stood up and pulled me by the arm which made me internally screamed in pain. I tried to pull back but his grip was too strong.

"Alexander, let go!" I said in pain, I want him to stop.

I want him to disappear from my life.

"Why are you in pain? Is my grip that hard?" He asks in a cold tone, it gave me the shivers.

"Yes, that's why I need you to let go," I rolled my eyes at him. He raise my arm, I was confused at first, but, instead of letting me go and leaving me alone, he forcefully pulled my sleeve down, revealing the numerous cuts I have from wrist to almost the elbow.

"What are you–"

"Why do you have this?" He cut me off.

I look away from him and replied, "It's none of your business, haven't your family taught you not to snoop into someone's personal business?" By force, I, successfully, release myself from Alexander's grip.

"You can tell me what's wrong y'know," He looked at me in the eyes, concern and worries filled within those black orbs.

"Unfortunately, I can't, I don't trust you with my personal problems," I replied nonchalantly.

I turned around and was about to walk away when somebody grab my arm, making me wince in pain.

"What the hell is your proble–" A hug from behind cuts me off, but it didn't last long because he pushed me, making me lose my balance.

"Hey! Do you really have a problem with me?!" I yelled a little. He's literally making my blood boil right now.

It's either from the lack of sleep or by seeing his face, I'm already irritated...
