Chapter 13

"Where did you go, bastard?" Disco cursed angrily. He ran  after Jump up to the second floor of the building but missed him while taking a turn at the corner as he couldn't see Jump anymore.

"Damn it, you're running so fast. Calm down first, " Smith said to his friend panting heavily as he ran after Disco as well.

"I can't be calm and let him play with my feelings like this. Let me tell you that I hate him the most ! " Disco said in a harsh tone. This caused the young man who was hiding in the science equipment storage room nearby to feel his heart twitch painfully. Both his hands covered his mouth while his heart was pounding hard.

"Come on, let's go find something to eat first. I myself haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's refill our energy first then continue running after him," said Smith, prompting Disco to grunt slightly in his throat before agreeing to walk to the entrance of the building. Catherine was hiding along with Jumper. They waited for some time before slowly opening the door to the storage room to take a look.

"He's gone," said Catherine to her friend. Jumper then walked out of hiding.

"Dis seems to be very angry with you. What will you do? He won't give up until he finds you," said Catherine.

"Today, I must escape first. because tomorrow I'll travel to see my brother in Thailand At least for the days that I am not here might make Dis get rid of his anger somehow?" Jumper said as he thought but was not very sure of his own thoughts. Because there was Disco's father's story as an example. How long has Disco been angry?

"It's fine if it's what you say," Catherine said back with a light sigh.

"I think, after you come back, Let's have a good talk with P'Dis, in case P'Dis will understand," Catherine suggested.

"Let's just talk about it later. Now we need to find a way to escape from P' Dis until tomorrow,"said Jumper again before the two of them walked towards their own classrooms and sat there until the end of school.

Jump relied on skirmishes and his own speed helped in  evading Disco. This made Disco so mad that he almost announced a reward for the person who caught Jump for him. But it's good that Smith forbade it first because he didn't want the story to escalate further.

"I'm sorry Dis," said Daniel after taking Jump into his bedroom. Jump carried his luggage and came to Daniel's house because Daniel's mom volunteered to drop Jump with Daniel at the airport.

".......... " Jump was silent upon hearing this.

"Doesn't Jump feel pity for Dis? " Daniel asked again.

"So what should I do? Go and say sorry? And hope he strangles me to death," said Jumper.

"But I saw that now P' Diss is no different from the dead either," said Daniel again causing Jump to immediately turn to look at Daniel.

"Why?" Jump asked curiously because he didn't have time to observe Disco much besides running away the whole day.

"When Phi Dis came looking for you in the library during the day. I saw Dis's face as if he hadn't slept, his eyes were dark, his hands were bruised, he looked a lot shabby," Daniel said as he saw it.

"Just one day," Jump said softly.

"People, if they encounter something traumatic, Just one day can make them look like they are about to die too, Jump," Daniel said back causing Jump to sit still with a stressed face thinking about Disco. Daniel didn't speak either.

"Make sure you check your luggage," Daniel's mother reminded the boys as she dropped them off at 6am at the airport .
