18TH STAR CONSTELLATION: [ ̶H̶]ATE/BLACK SOUL [FOUR]

CHAPTER 4: SCHOOL PROBLEMS

I was minding my own business, when suddenly, these two bozos decided to ruin that.

"You!" James shouted at me.

I try to ignore them, but Patronoa denied that.

"Where is Alfredo, Cep?!" He asked in a loud voice. Also, this is the first time that they called me by my name.

"I don't know. I thought you guys know since you're his friends and all." I said to them. I mean, I'm not lying, I don't know where he is.

"You're lying! You trapped him in a building or something!" James is so immature, he can't even work his brain properly. At least Patronoa isn't immature as him.

"Look! I don't know okay! Just leave me alone in peace already!" I shouted at them, hoping that they will leave me once and for all. But reality has other plans though.

"You know what... why don't we beat you to get the information that we need, right, Patronoa?" James said. 

'Okay, this is too immature, even for James... well, if they want to fight maybe I should get their soul while I am at it.' I thought, before both of these bozos started talking again.

"I don't know..." Patronoa started. "I mean, he just one punch Alfredo, and he's the strongest guy that we have and he still gets unconscious by him." 

James thought about it for a while, and then, he made the choice... a stupid choice. 

"Alfredo isn't at his top condition." Oh great, stupidity has no limits. "And you!" James pointed his finger at me. "We're going to fight at the alleyway right over there." He pointed at the alleyway, which is to my left. "We're going there after we're done with school." He finished. 

They bumped into my shoulder as they go.

'I didn't feel that bumped at all, but I just pretended to feel the pain so they won't get suspicious of me.' I thought, before finally going to school at last.

I opened the door to my classroom and I saw my teacher glaring at me.

'What the hell is the problem now?' I thought.

"You!" My teacher, Trinidad, shouted at me.

"Umm, yes, sir?" I asked what my teacher's problem is.

"You're responsible for the disappearances of Alfredo, you bastard!" 

Me: (I_I)

The Me now: (*_*)

"What do you mean? For the last time, I don't know where he is." I said.

"Don't talk your way out of this one, I'm going to call the principal now! See you later after class. Hahaha!!!" My teacher said, then laughing about me getting kick out from school.

I ignored the laughter of my teacher and just sat down on my chair.

All the grade 3 students, or my classmates, just ignored my pain.

'You guys didn't even help me. Some of you just laugh about it.' I thought.

'I HATE YOU ALL.' And that from that moment on, this day has been a long one because of all the constant verbal insults from my classmates.

One time, I met the two mooks that Alfredo used to hang out with.

"Don't forget about the fight. If you run away, then that means you're a coward." James said, and Patronoa just stood besides James doing nothing. "Bye now." Then he smacked my head, I pretended to feel the pain so he doesn't get angry about it.
