Everyone went silent…
'Huh?'
'Isn't that two a bit too close?', Marjohn was confused just like everyone else but took more damage.
Rin noticed him too and both made eyes contact. Marjohn's trembling eyes glared with maliciousness at Rin but the other didn't even felt it and just ignored it, thinking, 'It's not like he will do anything in front of these people.', and if he got called to the back of the school again, he will just ignore. Rin's not scared of Marjohn like he used to. He was even surprised himself.
Even though Rin avoided Marjohn's eyes. Marjohn was still glaring, even intensified. Nerves pop out of his face, 'Did he just ignored me?! That weakling coward Rin ignored me?!'
Dana didn't notice Marjohn at all since she was all focused at Rin.
The three groups were the one feeling the most pressure. 'Please keep us out of that okay?', nobody of them spoke even a mutter. The atmosphere was becoming more and more awkward until Marjohn walked out and slammed the door which surprised all, including Dana who asked, "What was that?"
"It was just someone…", Rin smiled.
"Ah, okay… Ah look here, put your preferred username here!", Dana cheerfully showed Rin his own smartphone.
The rest inside the classroom sighed out of relief. 'Looks like we're safe but… Is that Rin? Isn't he super scared of Marjohn? Why is he treating it like nothing?', the awkwardness was gone but all of them didn't speak for several moments.
Unknown to Rin and Marjohn, even Dana, everyone in that class that moment became curious on what's going to happen next. They already knew that there will be a fight afterschool behind the building. Well, they thought "fight" but they meant that Marjohn beating Rin, nothing more. It's like common sense to them.
There is a bit of worry and a bit of excitement stirring inside of them. Is there going to be a drama between the three? Is there some cliché moment where Dana will stand for Rin from Marjohn, unwilling to continue witnessing her love one get beaten up?
The girls were imagining some romance ending while the boys imagined awesome fights but it's hard since they couldn't view Rin fighting with Marjohn.
….
Marjohn was walking with huge strides through the hall whilst thinking on how to beat Rin and teach him a lesson. How dare he get close to Dana like that when he, Marjohn, was trying so hard to even talk to her a little?
He went to the school's storage room and saw many stored equipment. His eyes didn't hesitate to looked at the iron poles and even the hammers.
Marjohn revealed a hideous grin.
….
The school bell rang and the afternoon classes started.
Dana reluctantly waved a goodbye like they're not going to meet for some time but in actuality, she just went back to her own seat which is four seats away from Rin.
An old teacher went in and every student went back to their own seat.
The teacher looked and noticed an empty seat, "Oh, Rin came back so who's the other one that's missing now?", the old teacher asked in a weak calm voice.
Some students were surprised that Marjohn is missing and the other students that knew about the case whispered and spread the news. The room then became noisy even if all of them are just whispering.
The teacher ignored their murmurs and started their lesson.
Everyone became excited to hear the news and would be sure to attend it. They were glancing at Rin as they all whispered to each other. So of course, Rin knew that he was the topic and may be the reason why Marjohn didn't attend afternoon classes.
When the teacher spoke and suddenly started the topic, everyone quieted. The afternoon classes passed by and Rin just understood much of the lesson and found himself surprised to memorized what is needed to.
At the last subject, the school bell rang. Rin stretched and thought, 'Finally, the school ended! That wasn't so hard unlike before.', Rin felt at ease.
Dana went to him and asked, "Let's go home.", like it was natural.
Everyone nearby that heard that was surprised, 'Seriously! What happened to these two?!'
The room was quickly emptied since the others will try to invite their friend from another class while it's still early. Nobody wants to stop this. They were already accustomed to Rin getting bullied so it felt like normal but at the moment, it was intense.
"Alright.", Rin answered without hesitation. He just went with the flow, he may ruin Dana's question.
"You don't have any sim for you smartphone yet, right? Want to go and buy one right now?", Dana suggested as they walked down the stairs.
Rin smiled, "Sure!", he glanced at Dana but at the edge of his sight, there stood Marjohn near the path way to the back of the school building. He nodded his head, "inviting" Rin. After that, he went behind the school building first without doubting that Rin may not follow.
Rin stared with emotionless eyes but he looked at Dana and apologetically said, "Um actually, could you wait for me for minute."
"Huh? Why?", Dana tilted her head.
"I just have some thing to take care of. It'll be just quick!"
"Oh, ok then I'll just be here.", Dana pointed at the seat inside the hallway. She didn't pursue anything since Rin didn't want to tell her.
'I'm really sorry!', Rin, at the moment, was looking at an angel with awe, "I'll be right back.", he sprinted across the hallway, waving his hand.
Dana waved back with a smile.
'Oh god! She's so cute!', Rin now felt a little angry at Marjohn for disturbing his time with the angel.
Rin stopped sprinting and walked calmly when he saw the turn leading to the back of the building that was still filled with grass and stone.
When he turned right, he saw Marjohn waiting for him.
