[Next time bring cell phones or whatever so we can chat]
'Bring cellphones? Isn't that against the rules? Is this man out of his mind?' Alice thought to herself. It would be strange if the student council president of the boy's school asked him to join in breaking the rules, something Alice never wanted to do while attending school there.
Alice thought, there was another way the girl could communicate with Arthur without them breaking the school rules. He thought, it would be better if he used writing tools such as notepads and pencils.
Actually, Alice was hesitant to accept Arthur's request. Why did he have to chat with Arthur? He was too used to not chatting with the opposite sex while attending this school. However, there was a half of his heart that felt that he also wanted to be able to chat with Arthur, for some reason.
There's no way she's interested in Arthur, right? Alice pushed that thought away from her. She and Arthur had only met face to face once, there was no way she would have any interest in someone she didn't know well.
Of course, Arthur's soft, firm voice would be able to make any woman submit to him. Plus the man's charm is really tempting. Oh, and don't forget that the guy has a lot of other skills outside of academics like playing basketball and programming computers. Girls have every reason to be attracted to him, don't they?
Alice shook her head. She was sure that she wasn't attracted to Arthur like other girls. He was just curious. He is also very sure if the curiosity will slowly disappear over time. Yes, he was very sure of that.
In response to Arthur's request, Alice nodded her head while giving a thumbs up. Alice then mumbled while gesturing to Arthur that he had to leave immediately.
Without waiting for Arthur's response, the girl immediately stepped out of there. Arthur who saw Alice's departure could only let out a resigned breath and went away from there.
At the same time, elsewhere, Romeo and Edward were in a room in silence. The two of them sat across from each other—separated by a table—in a dark room with a small lamp directly above their heads, like an interrogation room in a police station.
To Romeo, Edward's figure who was much taller and bigger than him looked like a giant ready to pounce and devour him. Coupled with the man's fierce face that made the aura that radiated from him feel even darker and colder.
The man, Edward, was resting his chin on as he stared intently at Romeo who looked like he was in a daze. With his voice booming like thunder, he said, "Quickly tell me who the syndicate is hiding the cellphone!"
"You mean my gang leader?" asked Romeo with a confused and innocent face.
"It's a syndicate!! I'm sure there must be someone inside who triggers you, male students, to bring your cellphone," replied Edward.
Edward's suspicions began when he accidentally caught a group of students playing cell phones at school. When interrogated, they said that many other students also brought cell phones to school. After that day, he often caught students playing with cell phones. He had confiscated countless cell phones in the past few weeks.
Edward was sure that there would be no smoke without fire. Most likely there are 'influential' students who also do the same thing so that other students think it is a normal thing even though deep down they also know that it is against school rules.
And after the incident the other day where Arthur freed Romeo from the threat of being expelled from school made Edward's suspicions even more narrowed. And... Look, he's currently interrogating someone who broke the rules yesterday too!
"I don't understand."
"Don't play dumb in front of me!"
"B-but I really don't understand," replied Romeo.
Brak!
was annoyed that he didn't get the answer he wanted from Romeo suddenly pounded the table, making Romeo's heart almost burst from it.
whoback to your syndicate!! Or...."
With a slow motion and dramatic motion, Edward reached into his trouser pocket and pulled a curly chicken feather out of it. He moved the feather in front of Romeo's face for a few seconds with a crooked smile clearly visible on his face. Then with a sharp gaze he threatened Romeo.
"Or... I'll tickle you to death!" threatened Edward.
Romeo swallowed his saliva. Cold sweat slowly flooded his body. Being tickled was one of his biggest weaknesses. However, he also couldn't just divulge about anyone. only one who broke the rules. He shook his head with a frightened look on his face.
"Even if I die, I will not betray the boss!" he cried in between the fear that slowly creeped into the pit of his heart. Don't forget to also puff out his chest to show Edward if he wasn't afraid of being tickled, even though he was honestly scared to death,
Edward didn't believe Romeo's answer right away. put the feather in Romeo's face, to frighten the man. He thought getting information from Romeo would be very easy considering the man's lips couldn't keep secrets and often slipped out. However, it seems that the threat did not immediately scare him.
Ah, looks like he knows how to get information out of Romeo's lips. Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard your boss's name is Arthur? Right,
is he?" 'How did he know?' Romeo thought. If it's like this, it's useless if he lies. It seems Edward was deliberately trying to scare him. Romeo sighed. If Edward already knows who the boss is, why is that man interrogating him?
Romeo gulped as Edward drew closer He then nodded his head resignedly.
"Arthur pulled the excalibur sword from the stone?!" Edward asked very confidently.
Romeo rolled his eyes with an annoyed expression on his face. Don't forget to pat his face in surprise. " Do you smoke marijuana?? Or do you really have no brains and only big muscles?" whispered Romeo, facing sideways so Edward couldn't hear him. "Humans are envolving ... but backwards!"
Romeo clicked his tongue, then looked back at Edward with an innocent face. his expression is so fast like an opera mask. In such a squeezed condition, Romeo can also be two-faced.
Romeo cleared his throat. "I mean Arthur the student council president!" he shouted. to find out the meaning of the words that came out of his thin lips.
Edward tapped his forehead subconsciously. "Ohhh you mean that two-faced Arthur?" he is coming!"
Edward smiled sarcastically. His sinister laugh boomed, echoing throughout the room.
I don't know what had happened between him and Arthur that made him so uncomfortable. likes Arthur. To him, Arthur was a two-faced man who was not worthy of respect by other students. Look, even that guy just became the student council president, there were students who escaped the threat of being expelled from school just because the student was his friend. And now, it turns out that Arthur is the one who causes many students in boys' schools to bring cell phones to school.
Stupid! Romeo cursed himself for not being able to keep his mouth shut. If Arthur found out if he reported it to Edward, it would be very dire.
Although it was true that Arthur had been the scapegoat for him, it couldn't be denied that Romeo was also indebted to Arthur after the man helped him and did not let him be expelled from school because he was caught dating Juliet and caused a stir throughout the school.
Besides, Arthur was his boss, his close friend, someone he would sincerely want to befriend. He couldn't just sacrifice Arthur after what Arthur had done to him.
Romeo stuttered, "No, no!!! Even though he's my boss, he's not the syndicate's boss!!" he shouted. Cold sweat was running down his body again. He was worried that Edward would not believe his alibi and keep Arthur involved in this matter.
"Damn! He's not easy to frame," Edward muttered as he pounded the table.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet after that. Neither of them uttered a word and instead was busy with their own thoughts. Romeo was busy with worry and fear that was eating away at him, while Edward was busy thinking of ways to get Romeo to speak the truth to him.
However, it seems that no matter how hard he tries it will not work because Romeo is very loyal to his boss. He heard that Romeo is even willing to be a spy so that Arthur can get information about the atmosphere in the girls' school.
Edward cleared his throat. There was no other way. It seemed he just needed to punish Romeo for now. "Okay. phoneI will confiscate your cellAnd your punishment ..." Edward paused for a moment as he stroked his chin with his index finger. "Sweep and mop the ceremonial grounds! Remember, until it is clean and not the slightest stain is left there. Spotless!"
Romeo's eyes went wide. His mouth gaped in disbelief. The man stood up and shouted in disapproval. "How do you mop the ceremonial grounds??! The ceremonial court's floor isn't tiled, it's asphalt!" he shrieked as he ruffled his hair in frustration.
Edward shrank his shoulders. His hands moved quickly to grab Romeo's cell phone that was on the table as he turned around and said, "None of my business!" The man came out of the room by slamming the door.
In the room, Romeo who was left alone could only whine because his cell phone was confiscated by Edward. "No!!! cell phone! How can I chat with my baby Juliet???"
Despite his initial whimpering disapproval, Romeo finally let out a sigh of relief and moved out of the room. The boy ended up wasting his time serving his unreasonable sentence before Edward went even crazier. and inflict additional punishment on him.
