"What's a cafeteria?!" 10 thought as Clara dragged him down the hallway to the cafeteria.
12 however was following from the very back. 12 felt a annoying feel in her heart, she felt like scratching her heart because of the feeling.
"Clara keeps on being annoying when it comes to boys tch" one of Clara's friends whispered to a girl next to her.
"I know right?! She already had Daniel but she is being too much of a whore!" Another one whispered.
12 heard this and out of curiosity she scooted a bit closer to hear the conversation.
"One day I wont be able to stop myself and pull that hair of hers" said by another girl who joined the chat.
"Just do it!"
"She has the teachers it won't be that easy!"
"But if you don't... she'll get the new guy as well!"
"Wait didn't he had someone else with him?"
"Really?"
"Yeah it was a girl i think"
"I wonder where she is..."
"You mean me?" 12 said.
"WHA!"
"Where did you come from?!"
"I was always here" 12 said.
"Creepy" one of the girls said but got hit on the shoulder by the girl next to her. The girl grabbed 12 hands and smiled at her.
"You're close with 10 right?" The girl said with bright eyes.
"Yeah..." 12 replied.
"Then can you do a favor for us?"
"Favor"
"Don't worry just follow what we tell you"
"I don't know" 12 said unsure.
"Don't worry it's simple! Don't you care about 10?"
"Of course i do" 12 said in a serious tone.
"Then follow us?" One of girls said and dragged 12 outside.
———————————————————-
10 smelled something delicious from the distance. They entered a room filled with chairs and tables and a food displayed at the side with a woman standing in a stall.
"Is this a cafeteria?" 10 asked.
"Of course haha what do you think it is?" Clara said still stuck onto 10's shoulder.
10 looked behind to call 12 and have her look at the tasty food. Surprisingly for 10 she wasn't there and the girls following behind them decreased.
"Where's 12?" 10 asked one of the girls.
"12? Who is that~" the girl replied.
"The girl with me?" 10 asked getting worried.
"Ya! Why are you talking to 10!" Clara whined.
"Im sorry Clara... he was asking me something"
"You!" Clara said annoyed.
10 removed Clara's grip from his arm and ran outside the cafeteria.
"10! Where are you going?!" Clara shouted at 10 who continued on running not looking back.
"Ah jeez!" Clara said and ran, following 10 outside the cafeteria.
——————————————————-
"Hey hey Daniel!" Said by the girl who was holding 12's arm.
12 was with the girls who dragged her to the school field. Where boys were doing busy doing p.e.
"Hm?" Daniel said exhausted after running out from the track field and walking up to the girls with 12 with them.
Daniel looked at 12 curiously and asked the girls, "who's this?" He asked.
"I'll tell you later but you should know about something" the girl said.
"What?" Daniel asked.
"Clara has someone new!" The girl said.
"What?!" Daniel angrily said.
"It's a transferee" the girl added.
"When?" Daniel asked again.
"Just a while ago" the girl said.
"Where's the bastard? Im gonna beat the sh*t out of him!" Daniel said and started walking to the entrance but got grabbed by one of the girls.
"Are you gonna do what you always do?"
"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.
"Well you see the girl here is close to Clara's new one so we thought of a plan" the girl said.
"What plan?" Daniel said.
"First calm down" the girl said, as Daniel approaches the group of girls.
—————————————————-
"Wait a minute 10!" Clara said out of breath.
10 didn't spare her any glance and focused on running trying to look for 12.
10 stopped on his tracks as he saw a girl with the same color and length of hair 12 had. She walked up to the girl and grabbed her arm.
"12! Where were you?!" 10 shouted at the girl not noticing it was a random girl and not 12.
"Im sorry" 10 said bluntly after finding out and continued to run but got stopped by Clara who finally caught up to him.
"What's wrong! You suddenly ran away" Clara said exhaustingly.
10 threw her hand away and tried walking away but to only be grabbed by Clara again. 10 felt a nerve pop from his head and faced Clara. "Stop following me!" He shouted.
"Tell me whats wrong!" Clara shouted back.
"None of your business" 10 said and ran away.
"Ah! Wait!" Clara said and ran after 10, a chase was again happening.
10 stopped from his running and looked closely at the field outside. He was sure of it, its 12 just from the way she's standing. Strangely he didn't notice it was the wrong girl earlier because of how worried he was.
He ran to the group of people in the field huddled around something.
10 walked closely and heard.
"Ok then be my girlfriend then" The blurry man from 10's perspective said.
As soon as 10 heard this he walked through the group of girls who started gasping as they saw 10 and Clara following.
"10!" Clara shouted who tried to grab hold of 10 but was too late.
"Clara?"
Clara looked at who called her name and there she saw. Daniel, her ex boyfriend.
"What are you doing her- aah is this you're new boyfriend?" Daniel said walking to 10 who was trying to get 12 from the towering man Daniel.
"What a shrimp" Daniel said to 10.
10 was tall from the perspective of others shorter than him but with Daniel? He was nothing but a pipsqueak.
"Shut up Daniel!" Clara said as walked closer to 10 and grabbed his arm.
"He is my new boyfriend so get lost!" Clara shouted at Daniel.
"Hmm? Well i also have someone new as well" Daniel said and turned and grabbed 12 who was behind him by the hand.
"Look she's prettier than you haha!" Daniel said as he held tightly held 12's hand. Not noticing the boy next to Clara shooting murderous glare at him.
"Let go of her!" 10 shouted grabbing 12's other hand. Causing Clara's hand to fling in the air.
"10..." 12 whispered.
"Let's go 12" 10 said.
12 nodded and tried to walk with 10 but grabbed by Daniel who was now embracing 12.
The people around them just had their mouths open with shock and already thinking of how this will be a big time tea for the school.
There was Clara looking confused and also devastated. She was once the center of attention because of all the boys willing to lick her shoes to just be in a relationship. Now she was nothing but a nuisance.
She gritted her teeth and forcibly grabbed 10.
"Let's go 10!" She said as he whined to 10 who still didn't give her any attention and was busy having a glaring contest with Daniel.
Clara looked at 12 who was holding 10's hand and being embraced by Daniel.
A heavy feel filled the air as the two boys didn't move a inch and just stared while 12 was busy processing what's happening.
Suddenly a whistle was heard it was the coach of the boys doing p.e earlier who just came from who knows where. Attention was now focused to the coach walking towards them. 12 looked closely as she squinted her eyes to see better.
"It's the man who escorted us earlier!" 12 thought.
The other students watching the drama, ran away after seeing the man. Leaving only 12, Clara, Daniel and 10.
"Let's go 10 we'll be in big trouble" Clara whispered to 10 trying to drag him away.
"Im not going anywhere until i get 12" 10 said.
Clara looked desperately at 10 but didn't give any inch of care.
School was very important for Clara because her parents owned it and had the burden to be perfect at school to impress her parents. So she let go of 10's arm and ran away.
"What's happening here?" The man asked the three students.
"12 and 10 didn't i say to avoid atten-"
The man was cut from talking because 10 suddenly brought his fist to Daniel's face.
The man, Gabriel almost fainted realizing it wasn't 12 who punched the boy.
"Good thing 10's not that strong as 12" the man thought to himself.
Daniel soon after retaliated and punched 10 hard causing him to fall down with his mouth and nose bleeding.
"Heh what a weak ass dude" Daniel said with 12 still in his embrace.
10 was just about to easily stand up but remembered Benedict's words to act hurt when hurt. He tried to sit up but fell down as he acted hurt.
It was so realistic 12 had her eyes wide with shock as she stared at 10 bleeding and laying on the ground.
12 fisted her fists and stared at Daniel with horrid eyes causing Daniel to gasp silently.
"Hah! Look at him bleeding haha!" Daniel said laughing trying to impress 12 but nothing those horrifying eyes continued to pierce Daniel.
"See 12? This dude is nothing b-" Daniel couldn't even finish his words that with just a blink, he was already laying down at the benches near the field. He felt extreme pain on his stomach and arm who hit the metal bench. He heard slight creaking from the bench, as soon as the bench fell over his remaining energy left his body and fainted.
The last thing he saw with his hazy sight was a figure approaching him with a metal pipe.
