Rafael scanned through the hallway and when he got satisfied that there were no other intimidating figures around he quickened his pace though walking quietly till he made it to his door. Just as he was about to get it opened he felt a light tap and he turned to see someone who he knew was clearly a year below him staring straight into his eyes.
"Don't you have no fear?" he was about to ask but he found the answers to his questions even before he asked; clearly this junior of his had reasons to have no fear.
"Bonny has demanded to see you." He informed him without any quantity of fear or respect reflecting from his voice and immediately after he spoke he turned his back and left even before Rafael could stutter.
He glared helplessly at the door and then at the junior wo he considered arrogant but found no comfort with anything that lay or stood between them or even behind the door which stood before him.
After feeling helpless for a while he clenched his fists then braced himself up for anything that would follow but still he felt weak in his knees as he followed the route which the informant who he could no longer see took.
Most of the doors were tightly shut but it was impossible not to notice that the next room which was labeled in a descending order was better than the previous one and this visible improvement continued till he came to a halt and turned to a door which on it the number forty six was clearly written. He gasped on seeing it as though he never expected to arrive before pushing the door open.
He felt five pairs of eyes puncture holes in his body immediately he got the door opened but this did not bring out even the least reaction from him as he had never expected Bonny to be alone.
This room always brought terror to his mind though it was much more furnished and decorated than his own room since the occupants ranked higher than him in the academy's strength scale.
"Hi soulless." A nice baritone voice greeted him on his arrival making him loose morale as it reminded him of his weakness he just raised his face to gaze upon the leader of the gang who like a tyrant and a gang leader was positioned in the middle of four boys before him.
"Hi Bonny." He replied with a quaky voice.
"Send in my benefits." The gang leader demanded as he stretched his phone towards him.
With his hands which quaked no less than his voice he collected the phone and then brought his own phone out. After few seconds the formers phone rang out and then Rafael handed it back to him reluctantly.
Bonny's grinning face turned sour when checked his phone and at once he stood up angrily.
"This is not the deal and you know it." He said trying hard to contain his anger as he stepped forward while Rafael fearfully withdrew.
"T-hat i-s all I got." Rafael stammered as he still was stepping back but his motion was soon interrupted as a punch which he was unable to evade was sent into his face directly making him to fall down. Without pausing Bonny together with his minions rained his rage on him in form of countless blows till his whole body felt sore and he felt as though he was passing out.
"I assure you that you will recieve more of these if you fail to comply tomorrow and by then your thick skin will fail to protect you." Bonny assured him before he was flung out of the room by his minions and then the door shut.
He staggered up knowing that worse treatments awaited him if he lay still on the floor clutching his sore body and after few moments of unsteady steps he arrived at his room with a lighter heart which no longer feared another beating for the night and a heavy body which still bore the weight of being beaten mercilessly.
