Chap 17: Face the consequences

Evelyn got a firm warning from the Principal, whereas the Cliff twins and the bullies sat there as if they owned the office without an ounce of regret. But luckily for Evelyn, she did not receive any severe punishment because the Principal would then have to punish the Cliff twins too.

Triston was waiting for Evelyn outside the Principals office, looking very disturbed.

" A-Are you alright?" he immediately asked Evelyn checking her out.

" I am perfectly fine. Those creeps can't even land a proper punch. " Evelyn chuckled.

" This is not over yet," Fred spat from behind, annoyed by Evelyn's insult.

" Show me what you got," Evelyn sneered.

" B**ch!!! How dare you..."

Fred moved forward to attack Evelyn but was held back by his twin Jeff.

" Stop it, Fred!! We are in front of the Principal's office. Let's go now." Jeff and his friends dragged Fred and left.

" Jerks!!" Evelyn remarked and turned to face Triston, who was shaking and sweating profusely.

Evelyn placed a hand on Triston's shoulder and asked in concern, " What happened? Why are you sweating so much?"

Triston suddenly backed away from Evelyn and stuttered, " I-I..."

" Why is your voice so hoarse? Are you not feeling well?" Evelyn asked.

Triston was feeling restless and avoided looking at Evelyn. In an instant, he turned around and fled.

"Triston...." Evelyn screamed. " What's wrong?" She wanted to follow him but was interrupted by a phone call from Ava.

" Hey...can you come home early today? Let's go shopping."

" I am coming home now."

" What about your classes?"

" Do you know what happened today? Those b**tards attacked me," Evelyn said in disgust.

" What?" Ava suddenly stood up. " Are you hurt? Do I need to come?"

" I am fine, Ava but can't say the same about those bullies," Evelyn chuckled.

" Come home now and tell me everything."

" See ya soon," Evelyn said and hung up.

The Cliff twins and their friends were at one of the Cliff resorts trying to let off steam in the gym.

" I can't exercise," Brad said, holding his arm. " My body's aching all over."

" Don't act like a p**sy. You can't handle a girl's punch?" Jeff spat.

" You were not the one to be hit," Brad sneered.

" Stop it, you guys," Fred screamed. " I am already pissed off as it is."

The guys were silent for a few minutes working out on their own, when Fred punched the punching bag hard and yelled, " F**k it!! Why didn't the hooded guy show up?"

"Maybe he was scared since you two were there," Jake remarked.

" Quite possible," Fred said. " Then is it someone from our college?"

" Don't know that yet. What we know is either he can't protect that orphan girl every time, or he is scared to face us," Jeff smirked.

" But she doesn't need protecting; she is capable enough," Austin remarked.

" Why don't you write a poem praising that girl who beat the s*it out of us," Brad mocked.

" I am just stating the facts," Austin whispered.

" Yeah, whatever!!!" Jeff scoffed. " How will we know about that stranger now?"

" We need to think of a better plan," Fred stated.

" Dude, we will do that later. Right now, I badly need a massage," Brad groaned. " Why didn't the guy get our protein shakes yet?"

" I will go and check," Austin says and goes out of the gym. He comes back after a few minutes with a server right behind him.

" What took you so long?" Jeff snapped at the server.

The server was wearing a mask and stuttered, " I-I am not quite well."

" Damn excuses. Do you want me to complain to my Dad?"

The server trembled in fear and pleaded, "P-Please, Sir, I-I am sorry. I will do better."

" Just give us our drinks and f**k off!!"

" Y-Yes, Sir." The server hurriedly served the drinks and left the gym.

The guys wiped down their sweat and had their protein shakes. While having a sip, Fred said, " That girl's stronger than I expected. She doesn't seem to back out. Even the kidnapping didn't scare her."

" Yeah, and on top of that, she has a supporter now," Jake added.

" It's interesting," Fred said. " For the first time, we have a challenging contender."

" But none of our plans seem to work," Jeff said, irritated.

" Have patience, bro. We are still better than them as we have money and power."

Suddenly Brad felt dizzy and said, " I-I don't feel that good."

" Me too," Jake said. " I feel like puking."

" What happened to you two all of a sudden?" Austin got up from his seat but fell as he lost his balance.

" Woah..." Jeff said. " What's with you guys?"

" Something's wrong, bro," Fred said. "Even I feel kinda weird."

"The drinks," Jeff abruptly stood up. " Was there something in the drinks?" Jeff's legs felt like jelly, and he held the table for support.

"F**k, f**k,f**k!!! The server..." Fred started but couldn't say further as he held his head was ringing.

" W-We n-need to get help," Jeff tried to reach for his phone but couldn't move properly.

All five struggled on the floor, trying to get up in vain. They were still awake but couldn't move.

After a few moments, Adam entered the gym wearing his black hoodie, black pants, and a black mask. He had already discarded the server clothes he had worn a few minutes ago to drug the drinks.

He stared at the barely conscious Jeff who was nearest to the door and kicked him in the shin. " B**tards!! You like to drug others, so how does it feel to be drugged?"

Jeff groaned but couldn't retaliate.

Adam then went towards Fred and kicked him in the gut. " I warned you to stay away from Eve, but you don't seem to listen."

Fred helplessly tried to get up but couldn't even move a muscle. " W-Who..." He tried to speak, but no words came out.

" There's no point," Adam chuckled. " I heard you were desperate to see me, so here I am."

He kicked the other three guys and said, " You shouldn't have harmed Eve. Now you have to face the consequences."

The guys cried out in pain, squealing on the floor.

Adam opened his bag and took out the things he had planned for his revenge. He wasn't going to beat them up because that would be too easy and didn't make a lot of difference. What mattered to these filthy rich spoilt kids was their pride, which was what Adam was about to target.

He approached the guys and removed all their clothes except for their boxers. They struggled but couldn't stop Adam.

" Ewww, you guys stink. It's a shame I have to do this."

Adam then took out the girl's costumes from his bag. It was filled with minidresses, crop tops, and mini skirts. He made the guys wear the girl dresses and said, " You guys have no remorse for attacking girls without reason, so how about dressing like one? Maybe you could learn to respect a woman more."

Adam then removed a few makeup items and painted all the guys' faces with makeup and lipstick. After he was satisfied with their looks, he easily carried each guy and made them sit on the bench supporting the wall.

Fred and Jeff were so humiliated and stared at Adam with a deathly glare.

" If looks could kill..." Adam snickered in his deep voice. He took out his phone and clicked multiple pictures of the boys in their hideous getups.

" Can you say cheese..." Adam mocked. " Oops, you can't talk. My bad," he said, raising his hands. The bullies tried to cover their faces but to no avail.

Adam suddenly turned serious and said, " Now, jokes apart, let me clarify some things. If any of you tries to harm Eve again, your punishment wouldn't be so simple next time."

Fred shook in rage and fell from the bench, trying to approach Adam.

" Oh... You want to hit me now?" Adam smirked. " Are you not going to hide behind your friends now so that they can take the hit for you?"

Adam then faced the twins' friends and said, "I pity you guys. Why do you follow these cowards? Is it because of their money? I suggest you distance yourself from them, or there will be hell to pay just like today."

" I hope this is the end. I don't want to see your lazy a**es again." Adam took his bag and left the gym leaving the guys to suffer.
