It was quite an evening. I tried to figure out what Trev Electronics had to do with it. Why did they send the notes? What was their real motive? None of these questions provided me an answer. I did not inform Diane about it as she was not interested. I knew it, there was someone powerful behind the culprit's back. The whole situation pointed to Diane's father. I did not think Diane was wrong. Her father might be the culprit. So, I listed him as a suspect. Truth to be told, it sounded interesting — the case. I was not a detective but I kind of enjoyed my experience as one.
The following day, I went to school as usual. That day was epic. At closing hour, some group of seniors came to me and insisted that I had disrespected one of them. I had always been known to be quiet in school. How on earth would I disrespect one of them?
"Who did I disrespect?" I asked curiously trying to figure out what kind of craziness that person possessed.
"How dare you date Kate? You, out of majority is dating Kate. Are you kidding me? I will make sure I deal with you personally. "One with round big nose said. I did not expect that. Surely, I knew it was not a good idea to agree to date her but I did not know many people had crushes on her.
"I did not mean to. She asked me to. "I replied as I began to bite my nails. Anytime I did that, it means I am about to lose control.
"You idiot! Kate asked you to date her? Even if anyone, why you? You are not even handsome compared to me. I change my word, you did not disrespect one of us but all of us. "Another one said. This one had his tie hung on his head.
"I am saying the truth. You can ask her for confirmation. "Before I knew it, they kicked me on my butts. Holding my tie tightly, they slapped me multiple times. At that time, I felt nothing but pain. I began to have a deep thought on how Diane's mother had been beaten? Was it by a group of people? Or just one? Was she beaten like me? Or was she not beaten at all? I was engrossed with revenge for someone I had never seen. But because I saw Diane as a friend and also, I found joy in investigating. As a punch landed on my cheek, I thought maybe the culprit might have punched her in the face like that. Just like that, I passed out. By the time I gained consciousness, it was night. My sister had already been looking for me. My eyes were sore and swollen. I could barely walk. I saw nothing. Thankfully, Lily came to my school in search for me. As she saw me, she started crying. Did I look that miserable?
"Hey. What happened? Who did this to your face?" She asked.
"Kate." I replied. Even though it was not directly, she was the cause of everything.
"And Diane." I continued. Diane pushed me into dating her, so it was her fault.
"What do you mean by Diane? She is right at home. She did not leave home since. And how will a girl do your face like this?" She asked.
"I am serious. It is really those two. Kate asked me to date her and I agreed because Diane begged me to. Now, Kate's crushes came and did my face like this." I explained.
"Oh sorry. Tomorrow, I will go to your school and file a complaint. How are you feeling right now?" She asked.
"Great. It feels nice experiencing real pain. It shows that I am all grown up now. "I replied. Maybe something was wrong with me.
"You are not feeling great. Get on my back and stop acting like this. You are scaring me. "She said as I hopped on her back.
"I think I have gained weight these days. Don't complain. "I said as I leaned on her.
"By the way, where are your glasses?" It was then that I realized my glasses was gone. No wonder why I saw nothing.
"Oh! It is right there in the school building. What should I do?" I asked as my voice showed panic.
"I don't know but I am not going back there. Let's get to the hospital first. "The word ' hospital ' do scare me. Needles, syringes, drips, drugs and many more were all I hated. The smell of sick people, different combinations of food, babies crying, doctors in lab coats and nurses running around, surgeries and other words I could describe makes me nervous.
"I don't think a hospital is the best idea. Let me down. "I said as I struggled to get down.
"Come on, you are badly hurt. You need someone experienced to take good care of you. "She said. Maybe my own sister is nice, I have heard of so many people saying how irritable their sister can be. They might as well drop them on the streets and tell them to find a way. At least, I am grateful that I did not have a sister like that.
"Lily. I said drop me off. I am not ready to go to a hospital. I would feel dizzy and faint. Then, it will be an additional issue. Come on, I can take care of myself at home. You don't have to worry. I can assure you Lily. "I replied with a pleading tone.
"Alright. I will do what you want. "She replied.
"Thank goodness." I said in relief.
Well, I later went to the hospital that day. Maybe my sister was the unheeding one. She did not listen to all my complaints, all she did was take me to the hospital, forced me to use drugs and I slept off. The next day, I woke up like a baby.
