A talk

CHAPTER 2

"Ayan, why did you bully the kid?" Ms. Reyes asked.

"I wasn't bullying him. I was only asking him questions." He said.

"But you knew you were scaring him with your questions. Why didn't you stop?"

"I didn't know I was scaring him. I thought he was bored."

As may it seem lying, it was the very truth.

"You should apologize to him"

Ayan reluctantly nodded and quietly went out of the room.
-

It was lunch, some students went down to eat. Ayan only bought some snacks and headed down to the cafeteria, where students ate.

He looked everywhere to find the kid who he bullied, but he couldn't see him anywhere in the cafeteria or table hall.

"He must be at the at the kubo."

Ayan ran to the kubo, which was more tiring than he expected. But the kid AND the girl was also there.

"What are you here for?" The girl asks.

Ayan didn't reply. The light blonde-kid looked at him, he didn't even notice that he was even talking because he was so caught up in his daydream.

"I just wanted to apologize." He said, his tone showing some annoyance rather than guilt. To the girl, evident from his tone, it seems like he was forced to say sorry.

"It doesn't seem like you actually want to say sorry." The girl said.

"..."

"tú puta..."

Ayan muttered. He walked away from he two of them out of annoyance. The blonde boy went back to eating his food awkwardly.

"Why would he apologize if he doesn't want to anyway?"

"Maybe because he was forced?" The boy said with his mouth full.

"I don't know. Either way, he doesn't even feel bad about his actions in the first place.

"I'm bored." Ayan said.

"Antonio, do you want to play a game?" He asked as he turned his head to the blonde boy who was walking beside him.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Just questions."

"Sure...?"

"Are you afraid of spiders?"

"No?"

"Caterpillars?"

"No."

"Dogs barking?"

"Slightly?"

"Snakes?"

"No."

"Being bitten by a snake?"

"..."

"Bears?"

"No."

"Lightning?"

"No."

"Sharp things?"

"No."

"Blood?"

"No."

"Paintings with corpses?"

"..."
