chapter 4

"You save her, you die" he whispered, and Omar's throat went dry.

Levi's threatening voice in his ears felt like a rolling stone, crushing his eardrums completely.

He panicked as he watched North who's still struggling in the water, and it's as if the other students are under a spell.

None of them moved an inch or even tried to save her.

No one likes North, a total bîtch to everyone,.

"Doesn't she look good struggling in the water like this?" Levi's voice reached Omar's ears again, and he gulped.

"Please... please let me...save her" he begged as tears finally fell from his eyes.

Levi shifted his eyes to the water, focusing back on North.

She's starting to lose strength, and any moment from now, she'd stop struggling and drown__and die.

Levi badly wants to see that, but...

Someone suddenly pushed past the crowd and jumped in the pool.

Chadwick!

He swam madly fast to her and dragged her, swimming back to the poolside within two minutes.

He brought her out and lay her beside the pool, then she began vomiting water non-stop till blood came out of her nose.

Levi released Omar, and he rushed to her, so Chadwick came to Levi.

"You trespassed again, Banks" he gritted his teeth.

"Is there a rule that says I can't?" Levi replied stonily, and eyes widened.

* He actually talks?

* What the...hell!

* I need a full explanation.

"And trespassing ain't the right word to use. I was only taming a whore" Levi continued, and Chadwick smirked.

"You almost killed her!"

"Be thankful that I didn't" Levi muttered and removed his spectacles and cap, dropping them on the ground before walking out of the hall.

Despite North's condition, she rushed to the discarded cap and spectacles, picked them and sniffed them obsessively.

"She's insane" Isaac said beside Rain.

Rain just walked out without any comment, and as usual, Isaac rushed after her.

Chadwick remained standing, feeling subdued and disrespected, and little.

He looked around and saw students staring at him...

"The fûck are y'all moping at? Get your eyes away or I'mma thaw them out!" He yelled.

The students quickly made way for him as he walked out of the hall too.

The swimming supervisor came in afterwards, but she was surprised to see the mess.

"Cancel the class, I'm hurt" North told her.

"But...

"I said I'm hurt! Cancel the damn class!" North angrily pushed her into the pool.

* Fûck!

The lecturer swam to the pool wall, so wet and drenched and shaky.

North took Omar's wallet and got some euro notes from it, throwing it at the woman in the pool.

"That's for your dry-cleaning" she said and walked out.

Omar ran after her, catching up at the hallway.
