"It's time to go," Perci said.
"Please be gentle with me," I said.
Perci carried me up slowly and began to breathe in and out.
"Are you ready?" he asked me.
"Yeah."
"Hold on tight."
He opened the door of the greenhouse and stealthily walked past the zombies.
"Llamrei is in the parking lot, so we'll have to make our way to the football field first to get there."
As soon as we made it to the football field, I was surprised to see that there were only a bunch of dead zombies on the grass.
(Readers note: In case you're American, they're referring to a soccer field)
"It's an open area accessible to anyone, but why does it seem so safe?" I said. "Why are the zombies all dead here?"
"I don't know why, but this is good for us. Let's hurry," Perci said.
Perci began to run on the grass and we spotted a zombie running from a distance.
An arrow shot from a distance and hit the zombie precisely on the head. We looked in the direction where the arrow came from and saw a short brown-haired boy wearing an archery club jacket. He looked at us with sharp green eyes and a serious expression.
Oh no.
"Oh, it's the archery club's ace Robin. How lucky of us to meet him," Perci said.
"Um, it's quite the opposite actually."
"Huh? Why?"
"He's one of my ex-boyfriends."
"How many ex-boyfriends do you have?"
"Seven. He's my third ex-boyfriend."
"S-seven....."
I can't believe we had to come across him.
"Hanging out with another guy, I see," Robin said. "How shameless can you be?!"
"He has nothing to do with my lovelife, we're just trying to escape school!" I yelled.
"Really now? I can't keep my eyes off you for one second! I've always found it annoying whenever you talk with other people! Maybe I should start disciplining you again!"
He's very possessive as usual. The reason why I broke up with him was because he was always restricting me from doing what I want, like hanging out with my friends, both male and female. Even hanging out with my family! I always have to ask him permission just to do something, he's super strict. He even goes as far as checking all my messages on social media because of that stupid insecurity of his. I never wanted to break up with him and tried to endure everything, but being treated like a bird on a cage for so long was beyond my limits.
"What is your name, boy?!" Robin asked.
"I am Perci!"
"Ah, the white-knight weirdo. Would you mind handing her over to me? I'll keep her safe!"
Perci thought for a moment. Then asked me.
"Are you okay with a guy like him?"
"No way. I'd rather stick with you than that controlling dickhead."
"Very well then."
Perci looked at Robin once again.
"It's fine, she doesn't need your help! I'll take care of her for you!"
