Born to Hate

13

Students staring. Students whispering. Fourth walked uncomfortably down the hallway. Students had noticed him and Gemini and became the talk of the school immediately. Fourth had separated ways with Gemini for obvious reasons. As soon as he entered his lecture hall, he quickly sat down, hoping the lecture starts immediately.

Winny Phu
Fourth, you reached class?

Fotfot
Yesssss
But
Everyone is talking about me and i'm scared

Winny Phu
Why?
Did you do something?
Or is it...

Fotfot
Gemini brought me to school today

Winny Phu
HUH
WHAT?

Fourth was about to reply Phuwin again but his professor had just entered class, starting it immediately as soon as he placed his items down. "Let's not waste time!" He announced as students shuffle on their seats to focus on the old man at the front of the class. Fourth being one of them, silent his phone and shoved it down his bag.

Fourth knew. The students at the back of his class was staring and whispering about him. It was the students who disturbed him before Phuwin saved him. Fourth gulps, planning on how he can run out of the classroom without getting caught by them. Noticing the time on the clock stuck on the wall of the room, the way the professor is slowly reaching the end of his lecture, Fourth packed his back slowly but yet swiftly, prepared to run out of the room. "Ah ok! Let's end it here, remember your practices online and submission deadlines!" Students thanked the professor and as soon as he left the room, Fourth dashed out, carrying his tote bag on his shoulders and opening the door to the hallway. He released a loud sigh and ran down to the canteen nearer to the science block, dropping a text to Gemini. But he had also noticed the spammed messages from Phuwin, deciding to stop by the stairs to reply back to the older.

Winny Phu

Did you just leave me hanging
I'm coming over to your block
Oh fuck

Nevermind he's following me
FOURTH

Fotfot
I'm making my way to the science block

Before Fourth could send another line, he was pushed down roughly. He gasped, phone flying off his hands and landing roughly on the concrete floor. Fourth closed his eyes as he hits the hard floor, rolling down before coming to a stop on the base ground. He heard students laughing but bystanders gasping in shock or pity. He groans, getting up but only seeing red. His right arm was hurting, it felt heavy and even if he lifted, the pain was unbearable. "Fot!" The male looked up to see Dunk. He was slightly confused to see the male instead of Phuwin or Gemini. "Oops, I guess I was a little to rough." Dunk glared at those at the top of stairs as they laugh off and left the area. Fourth looked down shamefully. Dunk assisted Fourth, lifting him at the less injured arm. As soon as he was somewhat up, Fourth felt his left leg weaken, tripping a little. Dunk frowns, noticing how much more severe his injuries are. "Fot, give me a moment."

"Why are you here instead of Fourth? And why are you with him?" Gemini frowns. Phuwin and Pond sat in front of him, gulping their drinks down. "I'm supposed to meet Fourth." Phuwin rolls his eyes. "I'm sorry but I informed him first." Gemini retorted back. Phuwin rolls his eyes yet again and glared at Gemini. Pond chuckled, patting Phuwin's back. "Okok, we are all here anyways, text Fourth where he is," Pond told Gemini who nodded. As soon as he was about to send the message, Phuwin's phone went off.

"What is it, Dunk?"

"Talking to me with this tone? Nevermind, I'm driving Fourth to the hospital."

"Huh? Why? Is he ok?"

"Nope, he got pushed down a flight of stairs. I swear those students are getting it from me. Also, his phone is completely shattered."

Dunk ended the call and Phuwin stared at it. "He isn't reading my text." "Because his phone is broken." Phuwin said, getting up immediately. "I'll go off first. Gem, you should go back first, Fourth isn't coming." Phuwin said, leaving the canteen in a rush. Pond and Gemini looked at the rushing man and stared at each other with confusion. "I'll take his words..." Gemini mumbles, leaving the canteen with Pond.
