"Why did you do that?" I asked slowly."Do what?""Hurt Steve!" I shouted quickly.Kenan frowned in confusion. He then leaned back on the chair and looked at me intently."Steve said I beat him up?" Kenan asked in a flat tone.I nodded slowly."Why did I beat him? Didn't he tell you that?" Kenan asked again.I'm speechless. We're very close, and I won't hide anything because I'm curious and want to hear from Kenan's side."You asked what he said to me? Are you angry that he told me such a sad story about Samuel?"Hearing me say Samuel's name, Kenan's expression changed drastically. He panicked."That's not the reason. He made you bait for my revenge. I can't take it. I can't let him involve you in my troubles." Kenan looked straight at me.Such a good boy."Kenan, you know what? This is really surprising to me. You helped me; you are so kind; I can't accept the fact that you are a more violent version of the Aster Gang." My body felt weak as I said that.Although it is very heavy, I m
"Steve!" I called when Steve's class passed me.They were about to go to the field for a sports lesson. When he heard me call him, Steve stopped walking and immediately ran over to me."I already have an answer for you; can we talk for a minute?" I asked slowly.Steve nodded, then gave me the code to follow him. We headed for the music extracurricular room because this room happened to be empty now."You've decided?" asked Steve as soon as we got inside."Yes!""Then, what is your decision? Do you want to help me or not?" Steve looked at me expectantly."I will not join you!" I said it very clearly, so there will be no more problems in the future."Listen, you made the wrong decision!" Steve sounded angry and didn't accept the decision I made. I know he really hopes so, but I can't betray Kenan."Think what you want. I agree that Kenan is guilty in the Samuel case, but I can't do this to someone who helped me," I tried to explain to Steve."That's just a mask to make everyone think th
"Kei, come out!" shouted Dad from the first floor.I, who was reading a novel in my room, immediately ran out because his voice sounded very panicked.I stopped a few meters behind Dad when I saw a cardboard box filled with other terrors lying on the floor.Steve really did it? I won't let it happen this time."Someone sent a dead chicken full of blood; we are in danger; take your jacket and follow me to the police station!" cried Dad frantically.Police station? Wait, if this is true for Steve, what if he gets caught and goes to jail?"Dad, wait, this might just be a prankster's doing; shall we let it go?" I shouted quickly.Dad put his hands on his hips and looked at me blankly."Prankster? This is too much; this is too terrible to be called a fad! Get your jacket quickly!" Dad looks very angry. He also looked very worried.I can't refuse. I rushed to get my jacket and follow him to the police station.At the police station, I met Kenan's brother, who previously participated in inve
My heart was pounding when I saw Mario's name on my phone screen. He must have investigated, Steve; maybe he has found the answer.Am I ready to find out who did it?"Hello?" I greeted him after picking up the call from Mario."It wasn't Steve who did it," said Mario matter-of-factly."What?" I screamed in shock.Well, I'm glad Steve didn't do it, but that means someone else has bad intentions for me or my family."We've investigated very carefully. We even intercepted the number Steve was using. There was no suspicious activity. And when we checked the CCTVs in your house and where Steve was, it was not Steve." Mario explained."What if he asks someone else to do it? He did it before; he paid people to do it!" I said it quickly."Not a single message that planned the terror was detected coming out of Steve's house; even if he uses another cell phone, we will be able to read the message if it comes out of Steve's house. So, we conclude that Steve is clean. Do you have any other enemie
I held the car door when Kenan was about to open it."Why?" Kenan asked, confused."Look, there's Daddy over there! Don't come out too; they'll be found out if you come here!" I screamed in panic.Kenan followed my gaze while nodding slowly."Shouldn't I go down and ask your dad for permission if I want to date you?" Kenan asked innocently.Oh no! He is not innocent, but stupid! If he did that, Dad would blacklist him."Kenan, you know that Daddy is very sensitive, right? Don't show yourself in front of him, or he will be very angry!" I warned Kenan.Annoyed, Kenan complied and let me down first.I asked Kenan to find another hotel to stay at. If he stays in the same hotel as us, Dad will find out about it, and he'll be mad. It couldn't be called a coincidence; Dad wouldn't believe it.I ran to my dad, who was waiting for me."I think you're lost!" Dad exclaimed, pinching my nose.I just flashed an innocent smile at him and followed his steps into the hotel."The police have found the
"Why are you silent? Please say that it is not true!" Dad snapped.I can't say anything. I've been desperately hiding from him all this time; why should he be found out now?"Look at this!"Dad threw out my pictures of being bullied by the Aster Gang back then."Who gave it to you?" I asked slowly."Does it matter? Now, what's important is your honesty! Is it true that you were the victim of bullying at your school? I'm going to see your principal tomorrow! It doesn't matter whose child she is—even the president—if she dares to harm my daughter, I will give her no mercy!" cried Dad with fists clenched.I took a deep breath.I hugged my dad very tightly. I can feel his heart beating so fast. He must be furious."I can get through it, Dad," I whispered.I let go of his arms and asked him to sit in the living room so we could chat more quietly."Tell everything to me!" asked Dad."I've ever been a victim of bullying. I've tried asking friends, acquaintances, and even teachers for help. N
I just waited in the waiting room while Dad was having discussions with the police, who were now handling his report.When I overheard, the police were willing to accompany my dad to school to fight for justice for me.He is the best father ever.After all the files were ready, my father and entourage headed to my school, and I could only follow them.Arriving at school, I smiled with relief to see Kenan and several of his classmates waiting for me near the teachers' room."What are you doing?" I asked slowly.I saw Daddy and a troop of police enter the staff room."We are waiting for you; I gathered several children to testify," Kenan said quietly.I smiled and nodded. We hope that what we are doing will bear fruit.I also took a deep breath before finally entering the room with Kenan and several other friends."What did you kids come in here for?" snapped Mrs. Merry."We are willing to testify if needed!" cried Kenan very bravely."We don't need you guys in this discussion, so off y
"Kei, do you know? There were rumors that Lenny threatened her victims to shut up; otherwise, they would be tortured even more cruelly, and their families would be humiliated!" whispered Tiana while we were paying attention to the arrival of the police team who would conduct an investigation."Where did you hear that?" I whispered too."Our juniors!" whispered Tiana.Previously, I took a deep breath. This is so bad. Previously Via told me that all students were threatened by the school to keep their mouths shut; now the victims are being threatened by the Aster Gang. This is truly outrageous.Also, where is Kenan? He couldn't be reached, and I couldn't find him anywhere.Didn't he say he would accompany me?"What about you? Are you going to say it or not?" I asked while glancing at Tiana."I once made the mistake of leaving you alone against the Aster Gang; this time I won't do the same thing. Even if I have to be expelled from this school, I will tell them everything," Tiana said qui
