Note to reader-

This follows up what happens in the past chapter
~~~~~

Walking into the building, Haru was looking forward to the actual first of school.
Besides yesterday, the induction day, everything has been going some what well. Of course it is debatable wether the young Desmond was to have a smooth academic year or a year filled with rivalry and jealously.... Unfortunately, the wind was not blowing the direction Haru wanted.

"Morning Haru!" Liberty siad containing too much energy for the morning.

"Morning Liberty.." Haru replied

"bosswoman!"

Two boys came running up to the two.

"Er- you don't need to call me that Arthur..."

"no, it would be too rude to call such an important figure with a lowly name..." he said dramatically.

She gave a polite smile in hopes of not hurting his feelings..."Suit yourself" she thought.

"hah, now the Desmond thinks highly of herself" some random annoyingly fimiliar voice called out.

"what does he want now...." Haru thought annoyingly.

"good morning to you too Liam..."

"of course, Haru isn't as immature as these imbeciles"

"oi, you two get lost!" Liberty called out with no remorse.

Liam was starting to get agitated.

"let's just go..." Haru said in hopes of things not escalating.

The four walked away not looking back. Behind them was a fuming Liam, who was ready to explode.

-----

Once they Arrived, Haru and Liberty sat in the same seats as their mothers. Beside them, Arthur and Edward were seated.

Liam entered the classroom. Haru's bag was on the floor next to her desk which he saw as a golden opportunity to knock it over.

"oops! Sorry, didn't mean to" he said mockingly.

"Hey! You did that on purpose!" Liberty yelled.

However, Haru didn't say a thing and just collected her stuff from off the ground.
She put it under the desk this time to make sure no one else knocked it over.

"walk away... " Haru replied.

In his mind he thought she was mocking him, so he was about to throw an insult at her just when the teacher walked in. Him and his friends walked to their seat.

"settle down everyone, I will be your math teacher for this year..."

----

Throughout the day, Liam tried his best to get on Haru's nerves. Wether it is knocking her bag over, or purposely bumping into her.

"Bosswoman! Let us help you gather your stuff!" Arthur said.

"thank you..." she replied sounding helpless.

"we should tell on him he has been doing this all day!" Edward recommended.

"just ignore him..." she replied to their frustration.

"we can ignore him but-"

Liberty's voice started to drown in her head. All her ears could pick up was the sound of Liam picking on a another kid.

The sound of their laughter was enough to pull a trigger.

That was it....

This was the final straw...
