Lies between my tears

Interaction

After the demon and his gang left us I grabbed Rome's hand and speedily went to the comfort room to help him clean, it is a good thing that I brought an extra shirt.

"Uhmmm.. thank you for helping me na, by the way, my name is Rome 20 years of age and you? He offered a shake hands

I lost my mind to introducing myself
I held his hand and we shook each other hand " my name is Kong same as your age " I said

"Uhhmm Rome can I ask you a question?" To enlighten the mood and to crack the silence we had right  now

"Uhhmm.. what's that?"

"What happened earlier with you and those seniors?

"Awww.. that group of seniors are called the big 5 here, they are famous not only because they are rich but also for the academics, every subject they got the highest grade" I can see a twinkling star on his eyes while talking

"Wait what?" I cut him off " big 5 huh are they elementary to have a group name at all" I laughed sarcastically

"Their leader is the one you called demon earlier his name is Krist while the others are Pete, Pick, Kao, Ouajun" he keeps on talking and not even looking at me

"Uh oh. Well, but still they don't have the right to bully anyone, not because they are rich and stuffs, they can do it right ?" I questioned him
"And besides we are all students here, I assure you that I'll beat them not on money matters but on academics I prove them that there is someone who can beat them and knock them down" I moved my brows up and down while smiling

" you know what kong, I think you need to start digging our grave now before it's too late," Rome said while giggling

"Don't be scared na...  From now on we'll be friends and help each other" I told him then I tapped his shoulder

The bell rang so  like an arrow from a bow we ran to our classroom since we are classmates we sat on each others side
It's the first day of class so we didn't have any discussions instead we just introduce ourselves in front of everyone, the day almost ended when a group of seniors entered our room and with a disgusted face, I saw krist and his gang starring at me so I starred back with my brows high as possible and crossed my arms looking at them boringly.

"Student LISTEN!!"  Krist  is about to say something when I cut him off

" honestly P' you don't need to shout we aren't deaf at all and the room is quite small, even on whisper we can hear you properly" I got all the attention of the class and heard some murmurs and some even laugh

The tone of his voice did not change at all still high pitch and sounded angry " from now on I and my friends are in charge of taking care of your class, we will make sure  that you'll gain experiences such as RESPECT  to seniors and everyone, understand"

I think he intentionally mentioned the word respect clearly for me to understand what he is pointing at

"Ok khap" I answered tiresomely

" especially you Kong,  ill keep an eye on you" then he stared at me like pulling all my hair on my body, I felt like I was showered with ice and I got frozen into my place how the hell he knows my name?

" You guys should prepare we'll meet you st the hall at exactly 4:20," he said and a walkout from our room

I heard a loud cheer from my classmates

"YAHOO A HERO IS BORN " good luck on digging your grave nong kong

I don't know if this is a cheer or a threat at all! Instead of arguing with them, I asked them to move fast since P'Krist said that we need to go to the hall to meet them at 4:20 and I guess we were fucked up because it was 4:16 already we only have 4 minutes to go down from the fourth floor to the first floor this damn elevator is broken.

All of us are sweating and catching out breath upon reaching the hall and instead of cheering us up P'krist suddenly shouted that caused us heart attack
.!.

" WHAT TIME DID I TELL YOU TO MEET US HERE??!! Huh??"

4:20 P' we answered in chorus

"SO WHAT TIME IS IT?? It's 4:22 already, you are 2 minutes late" he added

ArrggIhh I can't take his attitude being bossy, out of annoyance I stood up in front of them

" excuse me P', what do you think of us Mr. flash? Can fix our things and run from the fourth floor down here easily? And for the record you told us to meet you guys down here at 4:20 when you left us earlier its already 4:13 we only have 7 minutes to prepare" I told him as I catch my breath I'm annoyed right now

" did I permit you to talk to me that way Mr? kong?"

" no, but" I'm about to say something when he suddenly cut me off

" See that's what is it pointing at, this is your first day right? And your manners are already acting out, nong kong let me ask you this question" he looked at me as he slowly educate me

"Did your parents even teach you good manners?" He said with a smirk drawn on his face

I was frozen in my position, I don't know what to answer his question since I never felt the love from my parents and I never learned from them

"Hey you nong kong, answer me did they? where is your spirit now? "

"I'm" I'm about to say sorry when he suddenly interrupted me again

" now see all of you if you think that this exercise that we'll teach you is not worth it, feel free to stand and leave this hall in an instant"

There is a hot fluid that was about to fall from my eyes so I decided to yawn and raise my head to prevent it from  falling

That day ended my first day with a lot of questions in my head.
