Just The Way You Are

Chapter 9

>School<

"Let me use the Restroom first" Eul said. They're currently on the hallway heading at the canteen for their group project. "Should I wait for you outside?" Sky suggest. "No need. Besides, Canteen and Restroom aren't that far" eul said assuring sky. But sky isn't, unease feeling appeared. She can't understand what are those. "I don't know.."

Eul could see her unease feeling and concerned looked towards her, eul capture her hands and held those. "I'll be fine. I'll make it quick, I promise!" He smiles happily. Sky lips curve a bit "Alright. But if someone approach to you , please do call us"

Eul POV

I Abruptly got inside those restroom stalls and as soon as I finished, I walked out from there and wash my hands then quickly wipe those excess water left on my hand. Just what I promise to sky, I quickly walks off from there but I halt and retreat once they blocked my way out. One of them unlocks the door. My insides sense danger, it warns me.

"YOU SCAMMER! How dare you used sky just to stay here, hah!? You acted peity infront of her mother to pay for your own tuition?! You don't deserve her, YOU DON'T DESERVE THEM, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO DEFEND!" She yelled and Burst all her anger on me. But why does they hate me so much, is it because I am different from them?

All of them, brought out something behind their bags. They have different weapons as they held those firmly and harder. A malicious smirked and their narrowed eyes appeared and I knew what that looked is, they're meant to hurt me. It was darker and evil than before.

I wanted to scream asking for help but my voice isn't helping, it was stuck and empty with no reason. All I did was to crawl back and felt the hard wall behind. "Wrong move" I mumble. Both my eyes and body shaken it went numb as well, I couldn't think straight. What could I do? What did I even do to them?

A strike of force using a baseball bat hits me hard on my leg, they must've put a lot of strength on it as they pulled it off at me. "Ack!" I yelped in pain. First hit but my whole body is already yelling for help. Another weapon hits me, but this time it was my upper body, and hurts more than the first one. I attempted to scream for help yet only a cracky voice came out. Another one hits me, it's near my head. I collapse in the dirty floor of the restroom. I heard them laughed sadistic.

It hurts...

I didn't think of what they would did on me after, instead I think of sky being worried why I haven't gone back yet. Pain was nothing for me, I am already used to it before but, I am still a human who could also feel pain but sky who I am worried the most. For sure, she will do anything to punish them for hurting me again or worst Auntie and Uncle would do those instead. I can't trouble anyone again but sky she will..

It hurts..

They continue hitting me, none stopped. Soon, I lost my consciousness and never knew what happened next. All I could felt was a warm embrace of someone and his scent which is oddly I am familiar with. I also heard some commotion; someone is flustered then he/she turned fury and ranted, and the last one is anxious and wailing loudly which I already has a clue of who that person is.

The person who I am VERY worried while a ago, sky. If sky along with Phayu and Pai or someone with them decide to punish them that suits because of what they did to me, this time I won't opposed them. If that's the only way to stopped them for bullying me, then do it.

I could think of sky, will volunteer to punish them with Phayu and Pai. For everything they did, small or bigger ones. It sounds funny for me, sorry. But in reality, I would definitely smile and thanked them for that, on my behalf and says, 'Thank you and I am glad I met you'

Soon, I fallen into darkness....

No One POV

Sky face crumbles as her hands restlessly moving, anxiously waiting for her friend along with her parents. Kuea comfort and rubs her daughter's back and says, "Eul will be alright. don't fret too much".

Seeing her daughter hurt makes her hurt as well, she wasn't used to see sky like this; She and her husband always sees her as a sassy but kind enough kid and a young lady who's addicted to manga animes especially One Piece. Sky is the only child of them, that's why they pampers her with love and everything she needs as much as they can.

Kuea and lian smiled silently, they can see how sky is strongly attached to eul by seeing her anxiously. They did a great decision of letting Eul came into their lives, sky's especially .

"Eul is a good kid. I am glad sky met him" Kuea softly whispered to her husband, lian answers her with a small nod followed by a smile. Kuea lean her head in his shoulder, and lian let her.

"Be okay, Eul. Or sky will stay mad at you even on afterlife" Lian mumbles.
