"oh! Ren you're already up as always"
Lelita,a middle age lady complimented Ren with a welcoming smile.
She's the owner of the orphanage starting today because the previous owner died month ago and so her daugther,Lelita,took over, now she's the new orphan keeper.
"Thank you auntie" Said Ren and curves up his thin lips that created a blissful smile from his handsome face.
When Lelita look at Ren's smiling face she can see slight sadness on his eyes hiding behind his long hair. All she can do is support Ren's decisions to protect that precious smile.
"Ren, I'll take care of this, you should go eat first and go to school, that way you won't get late again"
Ren was thankful for that but at the same time he was afraid, he doesn't want to go to school that early because he always gets bullied and mocked by their school's bullies.
And since Ren has either handsome or emo face he looks easy to manipulate and bullied...
Ren wouldn't dare to go against it,he took one piece of bread and one bottle of water from the box then took a bath and wear his gakuran then left the orphanage after saying goodbye.
(Gakuran- a type of school uniform in japan)
On shishi highschool (shishi means lion. The school is called lion high)
The five meter gate was blocked by four people holding hands to hands to fully block it, as soon as they saw their prey(Ren) they headed towards Ren and started mocking.
"Oi! Oi! Oi! What a rare sight to see! Our toy has finally learned how to go to school early"
" Right-right! What a lucky morning, should we tie him up with ductape and lock him up to girl's bathroom? Or tie him upside down the tree?"
" We'll do the first one,the second one is for tomorrow" Their leader, Daniel sneered as he agreed.
Then they scouted Ren to the back of the old building; scouted isn't really the right word, it's more like "forced". As soon as they got there they pushed Ren to the wall and started punching and kicking Ren ruthlessly.

"Tsk! You think it'll end faster by keeping your mouth shut?" Daniel grab Ren's hair tightly then punched Ren's stomach as he talk. "Disgusting! Even if you keep quiet I won't bother stopping!" he added as he punch Ren continuesly.
". . ."
Ren didn't answer, his breathing was unstable and his mind has started to go blank, he spat blood but they didn't stop. The four ignored it and the two guys holding Ren's hands started to kick Ren's legs, Ren can't maintain his balance and so he fell on his knees.
The guy's who was holding Ren's hands got an angry stare from their leader so they immidiately hold Ren's hands again and this time it's tighter and forceful, "leader got mad at us because you can't get a hold of yourself you f*cking weakling!" the two blamed on their minds.
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*
A high pitched sound was heard, it was the school bell.
"Sh*t! We took a lot more time wasted on beating him! We don't have enough time to lock him in the girl's bathroom!" The other two member scratched their head in annoyance.
"Its fine, let's leave him here, we still have a lot more time at lunch anyways" Daniel cheered his member as he pat their heads as a reward then leave.
"Haaaah" Ren give off a deep sigh, he patted off the dust on his sleeves and tried to stand, he succeeded but walking with his bruised legs sure makes it hard.
Ren wobbly walk to his classroom and slide the door open, he standed up straight before saying "I'm sorry I'm late" .
The teacher looked at him and smiled, "it's fine-it's fine, if it's you, you're always welcome to be late" she remained smiling as she speak.
"Favoritism!"
"Flirting?"
"Unbelievable!"
The teacher heared them all, she slammed the table with a bam and showed an angry expression, "all of you, shut up! Took over the first place and I'll let you go if you're late for class!That is, if you can toake it away from Ren!" .
". . .I dont know what to say" Ren said in his mind. He then seated on his chair where words like:
"Die!"
"Know-it-all!"
"Hang your neck,nerd!"
"Cheater"
"Faker"
Lies and beneath the table was his notebook that was burned and drenched, broken pens and other school supplies that was dirtied can be found.
"what should I do?, I can't afford to buy another notebooks;even if I do what will I give to aunty for tomorrow's breakfast?I'm screwed!" Ren worriedly thinks.
(He's selfless as always)
.
.
.
The lesson was finished,its time for lunch!.
Ren didn't go to the cafeteria and go straight to the bathroom and lock it.
Footsteps was heared and a familiar voice echoes on the whole bathroom when Daniel yelled "Reeeeeen! I know you're here! Come out if you don't want to get beaten up again,well,even if you do you'll still get beaten up anyways".
With that Ren was force to come out and follow them to the girls bathroom. He was locked inside and the girls inside the bathroom started screaming "pervert!!!!" and "molester!!!!" .
The girls tried to open the door but it was lock they started to panic and was so afraid that they might get molested by Ren,on their surprise Ren just quietly sitted near the door as he close his eyes. He passed out.
The door opened and teachers that was supposed to get mad at Ren for molesting changed their minds when all the girls crowded at Ren as they treat his injuries.
After that he was carried by the teachers to the infirmary. Ren woke up at five o'clock,it was the time school ends. He left the infirmary and straightly go home.
On the orphanage.
"Ren!!! What happened to your face?" Lelita asked worriedly when she saw band aids on Ren's face. Ren smiled warmly and said "oh! I popped my pimples hahaha" He the. walk towards his room.
"pimples!? Aren't it a bit too swollen to be pimples? He's lying! But why?is he bullied in school? Should I call the school? But he might call me meddlesome if I did! Should I cheer him up? But how? I only known him for three days! Should I tell him that he's already adopted by sister Satsuki?! Right! That might cheer him up!!" Lelita's thoughts gone wild and so she came up with the plan. . .
