Chapter 2 - Chapter two: Detention, both of you!

"Adrian, Please just put him down and let him go! He didn't do anything wrong!"

"Yet. He did nothing yet. Which is why I'm giving him an offer of a life time~. It will be so fun if you worked by my side and my side alone. Along with Kevin, we can both get along now can we?"

"You're crazy...-"

While holding the boy up, Adrian held out a free hand as if he is gesturing me to hand him his knife. I hesitatingly looked at the boy then at my brother but gave up the knife anyway. After he had a hold on the sharp object, he lightly drag it across the boy's cheek. Not making a cut.

He smiling sweetly at the boy making him even more scared and creeped out. Tilting his head to the side, closing his eyes and still smiling as he repeated his word...

"Do we have a deal or not."

He spoke calmly without any side of emotion. It sounded like his emotions left him, he was blank. Waiting for an answer and one answer only, "I'm willing to take any questions if you please."

"If I do accept the deal, what will be in it for me..-will you spare me? Will you let me go? Will you-"

"As I partially said before: '𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨' if you don't remember?"

Then it was silent. Supposedly the boy may be thinking. As my brother said before that he will be rewarded him with glorious things. What does he mean...? Then he spoke.

"I...I accept. Just as long as spare me. I'll do anything you want me to do okay?"

"Perfect, of course. What a excellent choice indeed by the way. Trust me, you wouldn't regret this deal...my killer minion."

Killer Minion? What does he mean? Adrian let go of the boy and reached a hand in his pocket. He fished out a pocket knife and handed it to the boy. The boy confusing took the knife and stored it in his pocket.

"You'll be needing the pocket knife for later assignments I would need you do achieve."

The boy nodded, "Later things...of course. Uhm, you want me to leave now or...-" "Yes. Go. And don't forget our deal, do not tell anyone about this." Then he left without any trace of teachers or anyone else coming in after him. Adrian turned to me with another blank expression. He gestured for me to come with him. After we left the corner, our backs were turned when we heard someone calling our names.

"Kevin, Adrian!"

The both of us turn to see the Vice principal of our school, Ms. Rina. In my opinion she's very strict. More strict than our real principal. She was the cause of the coincidences that I mention earlier about the late student. This gave her an advantage for the school and herself to be a hall monitor and the vice principal. She really has nothing better to do anything is was she always say.

She looked furious when we both turned our attention to her. She looked as if she was about to get in a fight with someone. Like if someone messed with a birds eggs where they suffer a scene of getting attacked by the mother bird. "O-Oniichan..?" I whispered, tugging his sleeve a little. "Stay behind me." He firmly replied as if protecting me from the older woman amongst us. I did exactly what he said.

Ms. Rina stormed up to us but kept her distance when she stop right in front of me and Oniichan. I notice she was trying to calm herself down as she spoke.

"I must ask you two: Why are you both skipping your classes and where are you two coming from? Now don't give me any excuses."

She said politely, keeping her posture as being responsible for something. But deep down inside, I know she's faking this act. She would normally scold us and drag us to the principals office and demand a horrible punishment for the both of us. I know her and the other people who come to this school far too well. My brother tried to come up with a good excuse but it seems that he was struggling to say anything at this moment. So I took the excuse for the both of us. Bad idea.

"Well you see, uh, we kind of bumped into each other while...going to the bathroom..? Yeah, b-bathroom! We had a little chat in the hallways and kinda lost track that we where supposed to get back to class soon. R-Right, Adrian?"

I looked up at Oniichan and smiled up at him. My smile was a sign to him saying 'Just go with it. Maybe she'll believe that..!' Ms. Rina also looked at Adrian, giving him the spotlight. Adrian gave out a small chuckle and nodded 'Yes'. "He's right about that..heheh." He reassuringly smiles at the vice principal. She didn't buy that well. She just glared at us and motion the both of us to come with her. As soon as she turn her back and walked away, Adrian looked at me with a serious face. I looked down and walked ahead of him, following the vice principal while he followed closely behind.

Ms. Rina took Adrian and I to the Principal office. There sat, face in papers, busy as ever, always in a rush was the principal himself: Mr. Carmen. Mr. Carmen was the one in charge of this establishment. Even though he always had arguments with Ms. Rina about how she should be principal and he should be vice principal because of how soft he is to the students, he still found a way to keep his job. The principal was to hooked up in his work that he didn't notice the three of us stand at his desk. I never seen him in this state before nor have I ever been in his office in person. I'm pretty sure Oniichan can relate to this. He looked really astonished too.

Ms. Rina grumbled and cleared her throat loudly, loud Enough to get Mr. Carmen's attention. He flinched and looked up to the sight of the three of us; both me and my brother looking around the small but space full room and a really angered vice principal. The principal sighed in annoyance before speaking.

"What now, Ms. Rina? This is the fifth time you reported students to my office. What is the situation now: skipping class, smoking on school grounds, insulting you or a teacher?"

"Well, I found these two walking the halls during class period. I asked them why they were out and they gave me a unreasonably excuse on the matter. I advise if you give them detention."

Seriously. You want to go that far? All we did was wandered the halls to our separate classrooms. I can feel my brothers body tense up. I reached up and gently rub my palm up and down his arm to calm him down. He got the message and relaxed himself. The principal rolled his eyes and agreed anyway, like he didn't want to be bothered anymore. "Thank you. Right this way you two. You both have Detention till next period. Do I make myself clear?"
