Chapter 22 The Bond
I'm done with my fourth class; it was easy because no one dared to talk to me or even gave an attention which I prefer the most. Except for that Coby guy.
The most exciting class is coming because I've been craving pain, and I need it now. The subject is a fighting lesson and it needs physical activities. It will also be the last for today.
I heard the school has a restaurant where students eat their lunch, but I prefer not to go there, I'm still full and I'm immune to not eating lunch.
I was currently walking towards the gym because the class will start in 5 minutes, suddenly someone called my name.
"Claire!" It's Drena, she was running towards me and so I nodded at her recognizing her presence.
"We have the same class for the last subject, that's great!" She smiles at me while we walk towards the gym. We were wearing PE uniforms right now, maroon jogging pants, and a white shirt.
The moment we entered the gym, students have already gathered. They have good bodies and they look talented, the other looks nerdy but still have a body that can fight.
"Oh no!" Drena mumbled gasping, I looked straight on where she was looking to see a curly-haired girl in a ponytail not so far from as but not too close "She's the strongest girl in this academy! Why now? She can be here earlier but not now, with us. It's dangerous, she's dangerous, avoid her as you can." Her eyes held worry and fear.
Tch. You're just beside a monster.
The girl is pretty and has a well-built body but still looking good for a lady, she's trained... I can see that.
She might have sensed that we were staring at her as she looked in our direction and smirk. I looked away and smirked at myself.
Then I looked at Drena beside me as I nodded. I hope this will be good, satisfaction, is also the reason I came here.
The class started and the teacher introduced himself as Mr. Cleo, he instructed us to introduce ourselves and we obeyed.
When it is the curly-haired girl's turn she stands up "Hi everyone! You already know me because I'm the best girl fighter in this academy. But to those new, I'm Daniela Morales or call me Dane 20 years old, taken by Xenon." She fake a smile.
When she emphasized the name 'Xenon' most of the girls turned sad while the others gasped.
Xenon... there's something in the name I can't decipher but I remember not encountering that name.
"Feeler, as if," Drena murmured beside me but I heard it clearly. Oh well, I don't care.
Others introduced themselves and when it was my turn, I stand up, I have to play along with them, I choose this path. "Claire... Tan." I hesitantly stated which earned a look from Dane. I sit back.
I was so disappointed with the class, I expected much but the time passes with just the introduction, warm-up, stretching, and jogging around the gym.
I need to go, I need to do something that can at least satisfy my body. I yearned for pain and I have to get it.
The day has passed, it's already dark and I was currently in our room with the two that bickers until now. We have eaten our dinner and now preparing to sleep. But,
"Really, she's so annoying, she even dared saying 'taken by Xenon.'" Drena mimicked Daniela's voice with disgust.
"What!? The nerve of that girl! Xenon didn't even dare to look at her except with an annoyed look!" Cassy was also getting frustrated as she put her hands on her temple.
"True! That cold-hearted guy who dislikes girls fell for her!?" Drena laughs "Over her dead body!"
They do not like Daniela for sure, but what makes them care that much?
"Girls are hopeless when it comes to him... Xenon is very handsome, on the other hand, heartless..." Cassy's face turned serious but it held confusion.
Xenon... what's with that guy's name that makes me... curious.
"You two stop and go to sleep," I demanded as they turned to silence and lay down on their bed to sleep.
"Goodnight Claire, goodnight Drena," Cassy said yawning.
"Goodnight Cassy, goodnight Claire." Drena turned off the light which is near to her and went to sleep.
"Goodnight," I stated forcing my eyes to sleep but I can't because my body is craving for pain. If I couldn't give what it wanted, The Silencer might... woke up.
I've already called mom after our dinner and got some scolding from her for not even saying my goodbyes but today's my birthday so she let it slide and greeted me with a Happy Birthday.
When I sensed that the breathing of the two went slow and steady, it was my cue to go, meaning they fall asleep.
I changed my clothes into a sweatpants and shirt, I wore my rubber shoes and black hooded jacket. After then, I went out unnoticeable but the guards were awake so I used the wall.
It was so high but nothing could stop me as I position my body. I jumped in the close trash can to get my force as I jumped high and held the top of the wall by my hand, my feet attached as I passed the top of the wall sideways and landed down smoothly.
I started running in the forest, I just run for hours and then decided to go back. But on my way in this dark forest, I heard a shuffling far from me but it's coming on my way.
I climbed on a tree near my spot and hide in a branch. I waited for someone to come until a little later a black-haired guy stands under me, he has a gun.
"I know; I really saw someone running on this way..." he said probably to himself. When he takes more steps away from the tree I was hiding at, right there I saw his face from the moonlight... It's Coby.
What is he doing in the middle of the forest? I looked at my watch, at 2 am with a gun? Something's not right.
I followed him but putting a distance enough not to be noticed. He stopped on the road, and then I saw two guys standing beside a car.
I was out of thought when I smelled, that scent! The most enticing scent, I tried to look closer but all I can see are shadows of the men.
Coby came in front of a guy, it's him! The scent is coming from that guy but I can't see his face. Coby talked something lowly to the guy. I'm so far from them so I can't clearly hear them, just barely a whisper.
The guy nodded once and started walking. He opened the door of the passenger seat of the car but before he got inside he looked around the forest sensing something.
I smirked, he's good. No one can sense my presence except Carlo but it took him years to learn it. When he sees nothing, he gets inside.
The same with Coby and the other guy who sits at the back as they drove the way to the school. So someone is driving the car, there were four of them hah.
What are they doing at this kind of hour? Why does that guy smell so enticing? His smell goes smoothly through my nostrils. It is exactly the same as the boy from seven years ago... I have never been mistaken, It was him.
I felt something pulling me towards him. What's with him? Why do I care? Why does it matter? Tch. I shouldn't be. It shouldn't be, so I erased the thoughts.
I went back to the room. I washed and changed back at my clothes after then I went towards my bed and lay as darkness filled me.
