"I'm fine. Sorry for making you guys worried. Let's go home now."Joanne looked weak. She smoothed her hair and tried to revert to her usual self. She wanted to go home immediately and did not want to cause more trouble."No, you're not fine! You got beaten up and locked up here. This is a criminal case. We can't let it go!" Renee said unhappily.She was indignant; she held Joanne's hands and added fiercely, "Don't be scared! You're no longer your past self. When someone bullies you, you have to fight back. We'll protect you and seek justice for you. Tell me who got you into this mess. Is it a sophomore?" "I don't know who it was. He told me he found me an eyesore and wanted to teach me a lesson. I ignored him and wanted to go home with you quickly, but I didn't find you. I thought you'd gone to the washroom, so I came here looking for you. But he followed me here…" Joanne became teary and could no longer say more."Then?" But Renee would not let it go. She wanted to know all the
"Do you know that guy's name?" Renee hurriedly asked."I think it's Zayn Solace. You'd better not do anything to him! His parents are gangsters and are difficult to handle," the plump girl reminded Renee kindly."It's fine. I know what I should do." Renee nodded and thanked the girls. When they were gone, Stefan finally exited the bush where he had been hiding. He asked solemnly, "Is there any clue?" "They told me that a sophomore has locked Joanne up in a dark room. Let's go save her!" Renee was too anxious to figure anything out. She merely wanted to save Joanne. She would settle all the grudges after rescuing Joanne. "A dark room?" Stefan crossed his arms and frowned. "Where is it?" "There's a dark room in the school. The girls told me that it should be near the washroom of the teaching building. Let's go there and check it out.""Okay." Stefan stopped asking more questions. He stayed close to Renee and walked toward the washroom of the teaching building. Generally, w
"Hey, wait!" Renee patted the girl's shoulders."Holy crap!" The girls were already terrified from sneaking out at midnight. When someone suddenly patted one of their shoulders, she screamed in fear."Don't be afraid. I mean well. I just want to ask you about something." Renee realized how impudent she was. She raised her hands and expressed that she was not a bad person. The girls sized Renee up. One of the girls from the senior class brightened. "I know you! You're the beautiful lady from the retention class and a genius in Maths. You also sought justice for another lady today and taught a bad guy a lesson, didn't you?" "Yes, it was me." Renee looked at that girl vigilantly. "Do you know me?""I didn't at first, but I went to the retention class to watch the scene today. I saw how cool you looked when you slapped that man. I started admiring you. I even told my friends about you. You're a role model to us." Renee became awkward and scratched her hair. "Haha! No, you're ex
The flashlight was getting near. It seemed like the resident assistant had come patrolling.Stefan had no way out. He felt that his failure in climbing over the wall in the middle of the night was more humiliating than falling if he were found out. Hence, he made up his mind and leaped. "Be careful!" Renee reacted quickly. When Stefan landed, she caught him in time.However, their bodies fell to the grass because of their unsteadiness. They happened to bump into each other, but the tall bushes happened to cover them.Renee found herself being pressed underneath Stefan. They were leaning closely to each other, and their skin was being separated only by their clothes, and they could feel each other's warmth. "I'll get up first…" Renee looked at Stefan's face at a close distance and felt the familiar scent of him. She became embarrassed; she pressed her hands on the ground, wanting to get up. "Stop moving." Stefan pressed the back of Renee's head and pressed her to his neck. "Som
The wall was not high, merely ten to thirteen feet. It was made with an iron fence. If one wanted to climb over it, one had to use their limbs properly. They had to climb over the fence and jump into the school. "Go ahead. I'll be waiting!" Renee reached the iron fence and grinned at Stefan. She crossed her arms and urged him."Sure…" Stefan looked up at the tall and sharp points of the fence and cleared his throat. "But it won't look decent."Renee suppressed her laughter and suggested solemnly, "So, you'll go in from the main entrance?""If I were you, I'd use the main entrance. Or, the school's principal could come and welcome me. Unfortunately… We have to keep a low profile." A sigh escaped Stefan. He decided to climb over the wall for the sake of the situation. "Wait for me." He took a deep breath and used both hands to climb up the fence. He tried his best to move upward and was about to climb over it, but got stuck. The sharp points of the fence were between his legs. H
Suddenly, sadness overcame Renee and Stefan. They seemed to understand something, but did not expose it. They could only watch things happen in a way they hated to see, but it was meaningless."Okay, stop talking about such useless things. If you want to help me, go to the school with me now. We need to look for clues," Renee said. Renee inhaled deeply; she did not want to see her relationship with Stefan get too complicated. She tried to lift the sadness. All she wanted was to resolve the current issue."Okay." Stefan did not hesitate and nodded seriously. They looked at each other for a long time before reaching a tacit understanding and went downstairs. They were quiet and did not attract anyone's attention except for Justin, who was in a corner. Stefan took the wheel while Renee sat in the car. The car sped along the street and reached the school at the highest speed.The school was dark and vacant at that time. No one was walking except for the security guards at the ent
