Chapter – 8 Let's Save Some Time!
While Mr. Anderson continued with his lecture, students were busy either writing notes or gossiping about others. After some minutes an announcement happened, "Every first-year student had to report to the college hall after their first class." The same voice was heard again and everyone started talking to each other, why were they asked to report? Is there going to be some kind of event? Everyone was occupied with their own thoughts.
"Enough all of you, all of you will find out what's this about so stop talking and focus on class." Mr. Anderson said as continued from where he had left off. After the bell rang, Mr. Anderson left the class while everyone else was also ready to see what the announcement from earlier was about.
"Oye, Will, Lucas wakes up. Wake up guys, we have to go now." Trevor tried to wake up those two but they showed no sign of waking up. "Don't blame me later," Trevor said and used his hand to smack them on their back but not a strong hit otherwise his friends would also have to go to the hospital. "Arrgghhh" Bothe Will and Lucas stand up in pain. While Lucas thought he was still in a dream and started shouting "Enemies are attacking, let's attack back." But a small smack from Will this time woke up Lucas entirely from his dreams.
"Trevor, what's wrong dude? Why did you wake us?" Will questioned with a sleepy sound. "There was an announcement that first-year had to report to the hall for some reason. Let's go." Trevor explained and the other two had no other choice but to follow.
When all of them arrived, what they saw was shockingly surprising as there were some students who were injured and some of them had fractured hands and legs while some of them were sitting in wheelchairs, in total there were seven wounded students on display to everyone.
When Will saw the students, he instantly realize why every first-year student was called there. He looked at Trevor but Trevor had not a single worry on his face, he was looking at them like they deserve that treatment right now. "Dude, we should get out of here or we are going to get into serious trouble. Let's leave." Will said but Trevor didn't want to leave and before Will could say something, Trevor pointed out something, "You see they are taking attendance. So, it doesn't matter if we hide now, sooner, or later, we will be caught. So, let's face them." Trevor was already heading to take a seat after hesitating a bit Will and Lucas follow behind him.
"Everyone please take a seat and show your ID card to the teachers who are taking attendance." One of the teachers on the stage said on a mic, so everyone can hear them.
"Why do you think they are doing this?"
"I think they will be registering us for some event. It's going to be fun I guess."
"Nah, I don't think so, you see those injured guys on the stage, I think all of this is related to them."
"Yeah, he is right, otherwise they won't be here."
Some of the guys were talking in a group as the teacher continued taking attendance. While the teachers were still busy, Trevor and the guys had taken the seat in the backside which were the only empty seats left in the hall. "What do you think guys? What kind of punishment both of you will be getting for this?" Lucas asked as he was not worried about a single thing about this situation, as he was attending the orientation at that time.
After everyone's attendance was taken, the teacher again started speaking, "All of you might be wondering, why you were called here, right? Let me tell you why you were called here." The teacher said and he pulled one of the students, who was in the wheelchair. "You see this student and his friends; they were beaten in the gym yesterday and later we found them unconscious there. After they woke up, we found that they were beaten by one of the freshers and to find out the culprit we have gathered all of you here, so these students can recognize him. I want all of you to cooperate with us." After the teacher finished his sentence, all of the injured students were accompanied by a teacher and they slowly started looking at all the students one by one.
It was taking a lot of time as they were nearly five hundred students present here, and considering how slow they were it was going to waste a lot of time to find Trevor, "Should I just go out there, it would save a lot of time for us. I will meet you guys later." Trevor said as he got up from his seat and started walking towards the teachers. "Why does he have to always get into trouble like this?" Will thought, he wanted to go with Trevor but Trevor wouldn't have let him go with him.
As Trevor walked towards the teacher, a lot of other students were surprised why Trevor was walking towards them. As some of the students from his class recognized him but even, but they didn't know why he was going there. Sia and Jenny were also there, and when they saw Trevor both of them wondered if he was related to the incident. Jenny watched Trevor curiously as she wanted to know what was the exact reason for his action. But Trevor didn't notice here and there and walked straight.
The teacher looked at Trevor as they were not sure why he was walking towards them but the injured students with them were trembling as they remembered how Trevor had beaten them yesterday and their injuries started hurting again after seeing him. "Sir, he is the guy who did this to us." The leader of that small group spoke gently. "Then we can send the other students back as we have found the person now." the Teacher said as he walked towards Trevor and took him out of the hall to the principal office. When Trevor was gone other teachers made the announcement informing the students that they can go now. Everyone was wondering 'what just happened and who was the guy?'.
While everyone was leaving the hall for the class two people approached Will and Lucas, and those two were Sia and Jenny. "Why was your friend taken by the teachers?" Sia asked, Jenny also wanted to know the reason behind that.
"Ahm, it's something related to what he did yesterday. But he will be fine, he always gets out of this situation somehow." Will said as he remembered the time when Trevor had beaten those guys. Will and Lucas both have known Trevor since childhood and they have seen him get into fights all the time but every single time Trevor had fought with somebody he had never lost once, and that always surprised both of them. They even use his fighting skills to earn money sometimes.
"Was he the one who beat those guys?" Jenny asked as she had come to a conclusion after hearing that Trevor had done something yesterday.
"Is it that obvious!" Lucas said but then he realizes that it was really simple to connect those guys' injuries with Trevor as the teachers were looking for a single student with those injured guys it was clear they were looking for the person who did that to him.
"We should head back to class; we can talk about Trevor later," Sia suggested as she saw that most of the students had already left for their classes and others were on their way. Jenny was a bit worried but seeing that Will and Lucas were not, she also tried to relax, she was grateful to Trevor as he had saved her yesterday.
"Yeah, let's go!" Lucas said because he didn't want to miss the lecture if he won't take the class then these two friends of his would surely be doomed as he's the one who always teaches them when they don't understand something.
While all four of them were heading to their class, Trevor was being taken to the principal office with the other students as they also needed to be present when Trevor would be interrogated by the principal. Soon, all of them reached the principal office and entered one by one after everyone get inside the teacher closed the door. When the principal saw who they had brought with them he could only exclaim one thing.
"You again!?" He said a bit loudly as it was clear that the principal was shocked and surprised to see Trevor in his office for two days continuously. "I'm sorry for my earlier reaction. Can I ask? Were you the one who beat them?" The principal said and as soon as his sentence was finished Trevor replied with a single word, "Yes"
