Shortly after the fight... Jax was looking for Mari and Ernst, he was running low on time so he had to find them fast. He was catching up with them till he bumped into someone and fell. Jax quickly got up and started cursing at the boy who bumped into him.
Jax: "Are you fucking blind?! Can your ass not see a figure coming at you from 5 feet away? Fucking hell... I'm late for something and you're making it worse."
The boy slowly got up and Jax noticed that he was wearing a face mask and sunglasses... It was almost as if he was trying to conceal his identity. Then he spoke in a soft voice.
???: "I'm... Very sorry... Uh... Have you seen a person named Mari anywhere?..."
Jax's anger suddenly turned into curiosity... Who could this be? Why is he so... Mysterious? And why is he looking for Mari? This was just too interesting for him to pass up.
Jax: "Oh... I'm her friend... I'm looking for her... If you're willing to help me find her then... I'll introduce you... Yea?"
The boy upon hearing those words looked a bit nervous... And maybe even a bit scared, however he nods his head.
Jax: "Mmm... Alright! Follow me!"
And with that... Jax starts walking to where he believes Mari and Ernst went, with a mysterious person with him. On the hunt for the two... Jax feels really awkward having some dude follow him so he decides to make some small talk.
Jax: "Why are you looking for Mari?"
The boy freezes up upon hearing this and... Jax is way too interested in this. A guy? Looking for Mari? This could be anyone... A boyfriend?... A lost friend who came to find her?... He's so excited about the fact that he could easily ruin her image with the picture. He was thinking about the many ways he could torment Mari until the boy speaks up.
???: "Old friends... I just want to see how she's doing now..."
And now begins... Jax's little rampage.
Jax: "Well... She's probably changed a lot since last time you saw her... Now she's a total whore."
The boy's jaw drops and Jax's grin widens... Then he continues walking as if nothing happened.
Then Jax stays silent the entire time while looking for Mari. Leaving the boy to ponder about what Jax just said... And Jax loves it. The thought of slowly crushing Mari's spirit using the others around her... It excites him.
It was pure silence until they finally found Mari and Ernst talking to each other around the front of the school. And then... Jax gets a bright idea in his mind.
Jax: "You see that guy over there? Mari is trying to seduce him now... He's the boss of the delinquents."
The boy quickly examines Ernst and notices that he's... Familiar. Until he finally finds out who it is after he sees his face.
???: "Ernst? He's the boss of the delinquents now?... I didn't expect him to have such control over the delinquents.."
Jax's huge grin turned into a frown.
Jax: "You... You know Ernst? Ugh... Are you a friend of his or something?"
???: "Not really... Also... Why are we hiding?"
Jax: "Oh... It's because Mari doesn't like seeing others when she's out trying to seduce someone."
The boy scoffs and quickly gets up then starts walking to Mari.
Jax: "Huh?! What the fuck are you doing?"
Before Jax could grab him and pull him back, he immediately starts running for Mari. Jax has no choice to retreat and watch as he hugs Mari. They get all lovey dovey and Jax is absolutely disgusted. So he decides to walk up to them and confront them about this mysterious boy's identity.
Mari immediately freezes up upon seeing Jax come out of nowhere. Ernst is ready to run up and just beat him and the mysterious boy is bewildered.
Ernst: "What is it now?"
Jax smirks and immediately pulls out his phone and shows off the picture of Mari. Mari is as per usual, horrified. And Ernst's expression turns into one of anger.
Ernst was about to jump at Jax and start beating him until... Cloud got to him first. Cloud immediately jumped at him, grabbed the phone and tossed it away. Then he pinned him down to the floor and stared at him straight in he eyes.
Cloud: "Where'd you get that picture huh? You think those rumors about Mari are easy to believe?"
Cloud was laughing straight at Jax's face and Jax was embarrassed and ashamed. However he hid it and put up his cocky demeanor once more.
Jax: "Try anything and the picture will get leaked everywhere. I've got tons of people who knows what to do if I ever lose the picture."
Cloud: "Good... I'll come for them next."
Before Cloud could actually start beating up Jax, he was pushed off by none other than Kingsley with the same look on his face as he had right before mercilessly beating Ernst... Yet instead of lunging at Cloud... He grabs Jax by the collar and looks at him dead in the eyes... And Jax is stunned.
Jax: "Kingsley! The fuck are you doing?! Cloud is right there!"
Kingsley didn't react and stared at him with a bit of remorse in his eyes.
Jax: "Kingsley, snap out of it. We need to get our revenge on Cloud here and now!"
Kingsley threw Jax to Cloud and slowly walked over to his phone which was on the floor.
Kingsley: "Jax... I thought you were better."
Jax watched him walk to his phone slowly with a mix of anger and confusion.
Jax: "What the fuck do you mean?! Let's... Let's get our revenge already!"
Cloud grabbed Jax by his collar and was slowly rising him up. Kingsley grabbed Jax's phone and contemplated for a second right before snapping it in half.
Kingsley: "oops.."
Cloud dropped Jax and Jax fell to the floor while confused, angry and betrayed all at the same time. He believed that Kingsley would always back him up but now... Now he's against him?... There's no way.
Jax: "Kingsley... What the fuck! I did this all for us! Our perfect plan for revenge! Why... Why did you have to ruin itl!"
Kingsley gives him a look of disgust.
Kingsley: "Because we were never supposed to blackmail and treat Mari like that... You'll understand once you get a girlfriend... Or if you ever get one with that mindset of yours."
Jax stayed silent, he couldn't talk back anymore after what he heard... He felt as if the world was against him.
Kingsley: "My business here is done... I'm sorry for what Jax has done to you Mari... I know it must've... Felt suffocating. I'll take my leave now... You probably still feel uncomfortable around me."
And with that, Kingsley is gone. Ernst feels a bit awkward being with the couple so he drags Jax and slowly walks away, promising to punish him(In which he did).
Now it was just Mari and Cloud together. They had so much to talk about... They had wanted this for so long yet... They had so little time to do it.
