You walked out of the philosophy class not understanding anything.

Thankfully, you only take two classes a day, but each class is three hours.

Evander smiled at you and pulled out a small recording device.

"Don't worry, I recorded the lesson in secret," Evander whispers in your ear.

"Oh my God, thank you!" you exclaim.

The boy blushes at your excitement as you walk by his side.

"I will write it down in notes, and once finished, I will give you those notes," Evander stutters out.

"Oh, that would be sweet of you, thank you-"

Suddenly, Evander gets pulled away from your side by older Light Academia and Dark Academia boys.

They drag him outside the school while you gasp in horror and rush after them with the others who are following to watch.

Once they reach the school backyard, they throw him in front of their leader as the students circle around them.

"Did you think you could escape the punishment?"

The leader, who is tall, has blond hair, green eyes, and is well-built, is dressed in a dark academia uniform and grabs Evander's hair.

The leader punches Evander across the face three times so quickly and hard that he starts to bleed.

Before he could punch him, you run up to him and grab the older boy's arm.

"Leave him alone, you monster!"

Literally, you ignored your father's warning about avoiding dark academia students when it came to your new innocent friend's sake.

"Oh, this is the first time a girl stands up for a boy against us"

You ignore the boy and check over the now bleeding Evander.

"You shouldn't have intervened," Evander utters, tears threatening to leave his eyes.

"Everything is going to be okay. I will take you to the nurse now."

But when you were going to help him stand, you get grabbed by your hair to stand back up.

"How dare you interfere with the punishment? Not only that, but dare to insult me," he inquires, but you stay silent.

"In the council, we don't have rules to punish the girls because they are well-behaved," the boy directs his speech towards the other students.

"But she insulted me, a direct member of the council, therefore a punishment shall be enforced."

The students agreed with him, as it was a moral concept.

"But, because I'm merciful, I'm letting her off with a warning," he said.

The older boy forced you to face him before letting go of your hair and slapping you hard against the cheek two times.

The slaps were painful, but the humiliation was much worse.

"You are so kind to let her off with just a warning, Perseus," one girl said.

Perseus ignored her and looked at your bleeding nose before pulling out a handkerchief and pressing it down on your nose.

He was treating you like a child who had just been disciplined by their parents.

"Wash this handkerchief and bring it back to me tomorrow after the classes end. I will be waiting in the student council," he said.

You watched him walk away with sorrow and anger, feeling a sense of injustice.

No wonder why your father warned you to stay away...this only means your father was like them.

°°°

You return to your dorm after taking Evander to the nurse and helping him back to his dorm.

The first thing you do is change your clothes in the bathroom before going to bed.

You notice a note left for you by Dante on your pillow.

I'm at the student council having a meeting, so I won't be returning before 10 pm. Rest well.

Love,
Dante.
