Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 5

Denver's Pov

My mood was interrupted when two girls tried to ruin me.

After the first period ended, I still have ten minutes before 2nd period starts so I decided to go to the locker room. It was located at the ground floor of our building. beside of I think is Sue's Classroom.

I went inside to Organize my things, to make my Backpack feel lighter. I just have to get the things I will need for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th period.

I was about to go out of that Room when a girl stopped me.

It was Ricci, Doing her stuff that can get her kicked out of this Campus. She was together with her 5 friends that call themselves "badass squad". more like "Failure squad". 

does she think wearing a fake Make-up will make her terrifying? it makes her look awful and funny.

"what are you doing here?" I confronted her. If she think I'm afraid of her, well, she have to think again.

"I'm here to Kick your ass" She replied acting all powerful.

"Not if I do it first, Ricci" I threatened her.

Her friends started to circle around me. Its like her statement wasn't a joke. I believe she cant do anything to me. she's just a girl, and I've been working on my abs at the gym (Yes, I want one).

"What are you doing?" I asked her. Nothing serious here, this is not terrifying.

"What's with you and Rum?" She asked. "If you don't answer me honestly I'll slap your face"

"what a scary threat you have there Ricci, but sorry I don't have time for you." I told her. Did she forget I'm the class president. I'm allowed to put her name on record for suspension.

"You're not afraid of suspension are you?" I had to keep my cool. I'm going to be late if this goes on.

"Who will believe you Denver? You're a Guy and I'm an innocent girl. women can twist events Denver" She said.

I don't think someone will believe her either. Its about the records and hers id Worse the mine. But if she's having Fun I'll let her.

"let me ask you again, What's with you and Rum?" she repeated herself. As soon as she said it, Cameras started flashing from behind Ricci.

"Its none of your business Ricci!" A man scolded her. Its my seatmate-

"Ru- Rum" Ricci is now shaking. 

Rum is here! Holding his phone for he was taking pictures and videos of the scene.

"You cant come here, and just bully someone Ricci. This is none of your Business. and did you forget? he's our class President he can do everything against you!" Rum's voice can make anyone tremble.

"I- was- just asking him" Ricci tried.

"Denver!" Rum Said.

"yes?"

"Put her on suspension. we have proper evidence here!" Rum told me.

"But-" Ricci tried to explain. She was now all alone after all of her friends went running when They Saw Rum

"Don't do this again! Now go!" As soon as he said that Ricci went running towards the door and almost lost her balance.

Everything went back to normal after Ricci went out.

"what are you doing here?"  I asked Rum

"You were out of my sight! so I came here and found you" 

"Why would you look for for me?" I was confused. we were not even friends we just know each other.

"Partners should be always together, except Lunch Denver" Rum explained. "and besides your locker is next to mine"

yes it was. My locker has my name on it and the one on its side has "Ocampo". why didn't I notice that?

"Oh." this is embarrassing maybe I expected to much.

"Lets just go Rum we don't want to be late again do we?" I tried to change the topic. we are really going to be late because of that Stupid Ricci. I'm going to get my revenge soon.

After we went out of the locker room we headed directly for our class. The rest of the day was quiet normal. We go to our classes and Ricci stayed out of our sight. Rum Lectured her earlier causing her not to mess with us again.

2nd day was not like yesterday maybe because Rum was cooperative today and didn't cause trouble for me? or was it because no issues were made today. I don't know! 

Next thing I know it was dismissal time.

***************************************************************************

Three days later I learned the truth. The reason no one talks about the "will you be mine" issue was because of Rum!

It happened when Dhaine's mouth forgot to press its Brake.

We were having our lunch break at that time and sat together. This time we got out early and had the opportunity to choose seats. We decided to sit on the one nearest to the Order area.

We had our Daily "catch up with each other" talk, when our topic diverted to Issues involving us.

we talked about issues like The Bashers of Sue's Modelling, Dhaine's boyfriend rumor and Blanche's gold digger issue.

those things had no ground to stand at all, but it still managed to make us suspended.

"Yah, we were so really not careful back then" Johan said. Among all of us he's the one that has no single issues at all. Because of his expertise on gadgets, he was able to bring them down easily.

"I'm Glad no one talks about it now" I added 

"Yes girls, you are the most scandalous among us, you should be happy Your savior Ocampo beg us.. Ahaha" Dhaine told me.

After she said that the rest of the squad went "Dhaine!!!!"

"what? did you just said?" I tried to ask her.

I was so confused what she meant about Rum begging everyone. Someone needs to explain to me.

"Dhaine what did you just said?" everyone is hiding something from me. If there was no secret, she should have answered a while ago.

But then this time, I have to repeat myself twice.

"dhaine?"

"Uhm....hey do you remember your shirt? it was still with me." Dhaine tried to divert the topic to something else.

"dhaine?" 

"Hey do you know-"

"Dhaine!" It was my first time to shout at my friends.

"Ok, ok. but lets not talk here. or else your Rum will see and here us" 

how did Rum Ocampo became mine??

After we cleaned up our table (yes, the canteen wont do that for you, be responsible), Dhaine led us to the Library.

they thought that the library is the safest place we can throw gossips, and they thought Rum Ocampo is not a "study in Library" type of Guy.

I've only been with him for 5 days now, and I don't really know what he does during lunch break or after class. We only have to go together during class hours.

The six of us went to the Back portion of the Library. We hid between the shelves, just to be sure that no one sees us.

After they all settled down, I told them to tell me already.

"Ok, guys who's going to tell me?" I asked them.

Instead of telling me the story, The five of them tried to push each other to talk.

Dhaine: Sue, you tell him!

Sue: Why me? Blanche can do it.

Blanche: I'm good, Timothy?

Timothy: I'm busy, Johan you do it!

Johan: Dhaine, You started this all.

This thing went on for a few minutes until I give them a signal.

"cough...cough.." I signaled them, which means I'm getting irritated.

"Ok." Dhaine said. Finally after how many years. (its an expression)

Dhaine gave a nervous sigh, while the others listened carefully, Now I'm getting Impatient to hear the Tea.

"So, Remember on the first day, when Ocampo went to our table at the canteen?" Dhaine started.

That was on first day of this school year, where Rum Ocampo Talked shit.(Bad word sorry). But I know he was just nervous to interact with people.

"uh.huh."

"After you walked out of the school, Rum Ocampo went back to the canteen and begged everyone not to talk about what happened earlier." Dhaine continued.

"and if somebody does, he will hunt them" Sue added

"what? why would he do that?" I asked them, now getting confused.

So that was the reason nobody talk about what happened on first day. But why would he beg everyone? We can just let the issue fade.

"He told everyone that you were just stressed." Said Timothy.

Now wait a second, why would he tell everyone that I'm stressed? we're not even that close for him to know my Feelings.

"He was the reason we don't talk about it. He also talked to us personally." Johan continued.

"You should thank him Denver, He told us he don't know what you've been through last year. he was sorry"

Now I'm guilty. After that incident at the canteen Rum has been very Kind and helpful. He has done his part being the Assistant President, and my partner for the buddy system.

"Omg, why would he do that. We can just let that topic fade right?" I told them.

I'm worried about Rum. Even though we just know each other for a week, I know he doesn't like being around with strangers.

We were about to continue our topic when we saw a shadow approaching our area. We looked closely to the shadow until its owner came in front of us.

it was Rum. 

"Hey Denver, you were here all along?" he asked me

"uhm-yes. we had something to talk about" I explained. 

" Were you here at the library the whole time?" I asked Rum. Hoping he didn't hear our conversation. My friends and I will be doomed.

"Yah. I always come here every lunch" I gave my friends a weird look. You said he's not here! 

Dhaine raised her Eyebrows. which means, How would I know?!

I ignored her. "Why were you looking for me?" I turned my attention to Rum. 

"break is almost over, you were not at the canteen so I came here looking for you. Partners cant go on class alone remember?" Rum said. That was the first Long statement he has given me.

I have to get this over with and talk about this later. It was indeed almost time for class again.

I turned my attention towards my friends. "so I have to go. see you later"

Yah.. yah .. yah.." they all replied. by tone of their voices, they are nervous.

"lets go Rum. we don't want to be late!" I stood up and started walking towards Rum.

the two of us left the library silently. My brain was worried, but one thing I have in mind was that:

I have to talk about this to Rum.

we then headed for our next class, lets talk about this later.

Dhaine's Pov (Bonus)

as soon as Ocampo and Denver walked out, the five of us was able to breath freely.

"I cant believe we almost got caught" blanche exclaimed.

"its okay guys." I have to reassure them.

on the Bright side he no longer have to hide anything from our friend, but on the other hand Sooner or later Denver will tell Rum and he will find out we told him, I can only hope Denver will protect us.

There were a lot of questions running in our heads right now, but one thing the five of us had in common was:

me: what just happened?

Sue: have I heard right?

Blanche: Guys, our friend is amazing! he tamed a lion.

I know the boys Timothy and Johan know what we are talking about and they were just as shock as I was:

me: Denver called Ocampo by his first name!

sue: are they that close? He can call him Rum now?

blanche: how did he do that?

Well Done! Guys  I didn't have time to read this but please put your comment and feel free to criticize this work. It can make me inspired and do a better Job. Don't Worry I wont bite.
