when Kein got home that day, he went straight to his bathroom to freshen up. After he was done, he went closer to the toilet mirror to check his injured back which was caused due to the force the girl used in slamming his back into the locker. His back was bright red and painful while his neck had a red mark crossing around it. after he was done, he came out of the bathroom with only his towel around his waist but he was shocked to see Laura waiting for him in his bed with embarrassment he decided to run back into the bathroom but was stopped by the concerned voice of Laura
" What happened to you? , how did you get injured? " Laura rushed towards him while using her hands to touch the wound " did you get into a fight on your first day"
" no, just a little misunderstanding"
" like?"
" They thought am a weirdo and a freak because I don't understand anything about this planet" Kein lied with a sober face
" is not true Kein, you are extraordinary, you are special" Laura consoled him while rubbing his cheeks
" thank you mom" Kein said and hugged her but Laura was startled because Kein has never used the word 'mom' on her before, this made her extremely happy that her face was full of smiles.
During break period at school the next day, Kein was walking along the corridor when Henry tapped him on his shoulder from the back making him flinch before looking at him
" what's it with you, always scaring people"
" That's my nature. so how did the introduction with the crazy girl go yesterday" Henry taunted with a smirk on his face
" let yesterday things be bygones" Kein emphasized still heading to where he was going
" oh!" Henry exclaimed with wide eyes but still smirking. they were still walking when they walked past a few football athletes who were done with their training at that moment
" Oh, look what we have here," the black boy from yesterday said with a smirk and blocked their way
" the famous handsome guy" another added
" who might be stealing some of our girl's hearts," another athlete said, his face scrunched up
" what's it with y'all " Henry lamented
" Oh, the most intelligent Henry has spoken," another said sarcastically
" wait, I know this guy," the black guy said while coming closer to Kein to study his face " are you not that guy that was nearly killed by accident on the road, you have golden hair at that time, what happened to your hair that is now black "
" James, what's it him the boy with golden hair that was mentioned in the news ? " another asked the black boy
" yeah, I saw him that day, I was in one of the buses when a woman took him " the black boy answered.
" I don't have time for all this, can I pass ?, coz as you can see, I was heading somewhere before you blocked my way "
" oh, he is indeed a sassy one," the black boy said derisively and the others busted out laughing. Kelly who was busy arranging her books in her locker heard the boys laugh and turned to look at them because she was allergic to bullies she went towards them to inquire what was happening there
" James, any problem," she asked the black boy
" no no problem I didn't know that you are his," James said resignedly while raising his hands in defeat and going away with his colleagues
" she is crazy" one of the boys whispered as they were leaving but the girl ignored him and turned towards Kein
" you guys shouldn't have allowed anyone to pick on you like that," said and left but Kein called her back
" hey Kelly, wait on" kein called out but the girl waved him off
" I don't know you !" she said contemptuously as she walks away, then the bell rang signifying the end of break period so everyone headed back to class
" Who are those guys ?" Kein asked when they are about to take their seats in the class
" oh those guys, ignore them, they are just some freaking athletes that feel that they are better than the rest because they got talents " Henry explained as they settled down but something caught kein's eyes, there was a pale Chinese girl with white long hair reaching down her waist, that was sitting alone at the end of the class
" who's that? , I didn't see her yesterday"
" oh, that weirdo ?" Henry asked while pointing towards the girl and Kein nodded " oh that's how she has been since she came in last year"
" was that her hair " Kein asked again
" yeah I think so "
" Why does everyone call Kelly crazy, I thought Nora was supposed to be the crazy one "
" no, Nora is the arrogant cheerleader who thinks the world rotates around her and changes men as clothes "
" Okay," he ended the conversation when the teacher came into the class.
During dismissal, Kelly quickly gathered her books and left, this made Kein to became to wonder why the girl leaves the class before everyone else. so this time, he became determined to follow her anywhere she goes and won't let her do the same thing she did yesterday.
