Maureen sat on the chair she had chosen. And as expected, Jean chose the seat next to Maureen.
The bell signaling it was time for lunch had rung.
Jean sat beside Maureen and looked at her straight. "I'm sorry. Because of me, you got into trouble."
"It's okay. Besides, it's not entirely your fault."
"You still haven't changed. You've always been too kind," replied Jean, who unbuttoned one of the top buttons of her uniform.
"It's you who changed. Long time no hear from you, you suddenly can control your emotions like this. Don't tell me, have you been betrothed to someone?"
"What the fuck?" replied Jean quickly. "I was sent to my grandfather's house, and it was like hell. My grandfather really trained me to look more like a real human."
"Yeah, you do look like a woman now," said Maureen, which made them both laugh.
While chatting, about three students who seemed to be in third grade walked into the classroom. The three of them looked around, and one of them pointed right where Maureen and Jean were.
"Look. I'm right, huh? There are two nymphs among the new students." said one of the three people.
One who looked like the leader of them walked first to Jean and Maureen.
"Chough~ ... hey ladies."
Maureen and Jean turned simultaneously towards the source of the voice.
Mauren glanced at Jean, who also glanced back at Maureen. The look of confusion was evident on both of their faces. Of course, thanks to their beauty which is too hard to ignore, Maureen and Jean have been named the most beautiful students in their class.
"Hello," said the man, holding out his hand for a shake. "I'm Rifki."
Maureen was still silent, but Jean welcomed the outstretched hand first. "Jean."
Maureen hasn't accepted the handshake yet.
"Come on, don't be so indifferent to us, pretty girl." someone said behind Rifki.
"What do you want to brag about? Your beauty?" another said.
Rifki elbowed his friend. "Hey, be polite to our two goddesses!"
Rifki looked back at Jean and Maureen. He held out his phone this time. "Give me your cell phone number. And I guarantee you, no one will dare to disturb you in this school. I will protect you, dear precious fairies."
Jean met Maureen's eyes again. During the confusion, Maureen's eyes caught the presence of someone already standing in front of the class.
Slammm!~
The table in front of them was pounded quite loudly by the person with the rudest mouth of the three bullies. "Hey! Just give us your numbers already! No need to be arrogant! We all know that one of you hugged the student council members this morning! Cheap bitches like you don't deserve to be arrogant with us!"
Everyone in the class could hear what the man said to Maureen and Jean.
At a time like this, no one dared to move yet, because the three senior bullies looked terrifying.
But Maureen kept looking at the figure standing in front of her class.
The man entered the classroom with a sharp look.
Duaaaakkk!~ ...
Aldy kicked the person who had just said that Maureen was a bitch.
His body bounced until he hit the classroom wall.
Yep.
Aldy, the man who had been standing in front of Maureen's class.
The two seniors who had been surrounding Maureen and Jean turned around. Aldy ignored the two of them. Aldy stepped closer to the person he had just kicked very hard.
"Fuck it! Which bastard dares to kick me?!" groaned the man, who was trying to stand up but hadn't realized who had just kicked him.
Duakkkk!~ ...
Aldy kicked his body a second time.
The man fell to the ground with his head hitting the classroom's wall. With the position still lying like that, Aldy stepped forward and landed his shoes repeatedly on the poor man's body.
Bamm! ... Bamm! ... Bamm! ... Bamm! ... Bamm! ...
The bottom of the sneakers that Aldy was wearing continued to land on the man's body non-stop. Two other seniors, including a man named Rifki, just sat in silence watching Aldy torture his friend that badly in front of their eyes.
Aldy stopped his torment when his victim looked about to faint.
Both of his hands were broken trying to protect his face from Aldy's torture, while his nose and some of his ribs had been broken. Bruises filled the man's face.
But Aldy's anger still hasn't subsided.
Aldy turned to look at a man named Rifki and another person he didn't know. However, one thing is for sure, they both knew who Aldy was.
Aldy turned to Maureen. "Are those two bothering you too?"
Maureen remained silent. But Jean, who seemed to be able to read the situation, grabbed Aldy's hand. "No. These two seniors just wanted to get acquainted with us."
Aldy looked at Jean with a gaze that still showed anger. Aldy turned to Maureen with one of his hands still tightly gripped by Jean. "Who is this? Your friend?"
For some reason, Maureen could only nod slowly.
Aldy looked back at Rifki and one of his friends. "If y'all still wanna breathe, get the fuck out."
The words that came out of Aldy's mouth really sounded very cold. Plus, the intensity of the terrifying gaze from his eyes. No one dared to argue, whoever it was.
Rifki and one of his friends helped the person who had just been severely tortured by Aldy's rage out of the classroom.
Aldy looked back at his arm, which was gripped by Jean. "You can let me go now."
Jean, who seemed to have just woken up from his daydream, let go of Aldy's arm. Aldy set his sights on Maureen. With a look full of concern, Aldy looked at Maureen very deeply.
"Are you okay?" Aldy asked Maureen.
Maureen nodded in response to Aldy.
Aldy reached for the top of Maureen's head and stroked it very gently. "Are you sure?"
"I'm fine."
Jean saw a man being sweet to Maureen for the first time. In her mind, a question arose that naturally crossed everyone who saw the scene.
Jean observed Aldy's appearance from head to toe in a flash.
Very handsome. His body is also quite athletic. He must be a senior. Is she Maureen's boyfriend?
Jean looked at Maureen and patted her on the arm. Maureen turned and found Jean showing gestures with her expression.
Jean raised his eyebrows while glancing occasionally at Aldy. Maureen understood the hint from Jean.
"Oh, this is my brother." Maureen then looked back at Aldy. "Aldy, this is Jean, my junior in middle school."
"Your brother?" asked Jean in disbelief. All she knows, Maureen is the only child. Then, who is this person?
Maureen nodded in agreement. "It's a long story."
Jean understands. The girl held out her hand. "Jeanice Ainsley, Maureen's best friend. You can call me Jean."
Aldy looked briefly at Jean.
At first, Aldy did not want to pay attention to it. For him, the most important thing right now was Maureen. Although Aldy admits that Jean is a woman who can make men's hearts melt with her beauty.
However, hearing that this girl named Jean was a friend of the sister he loved very much, Aldy couldn't be cold to her. At least, that's what he thought.
"Aldy," Aldy replied while welcoming Jean's outstretched hand.
Neither Aldy nor Maureen noticed that there was a heartbeat that sounded very fast. It was Jean's heartbeat. While not taking her eyes off Aldy at all, Jean felt her chest pounding harder and harder.
Maybe no one noticed.
But Jean, that girl seems to have experienced something called love at first sight.
