The broken ones

Hide the truth

In the club room.

" Oh you're over reacting! " Jenny says as she puts on the medication on Jack's sore face.

" Why are you pressing it hard " He winces in pain every time she presses the cotton on his bruised up cuts.

" Stop moving! "

It's an early Monday morning and after going home after the party, they all went straight to school after changing from their clothes. Since they left the party pretty late.

After the whole situation last night, Bea decided to skip school for the day or probably for a week until she's able to cope with everything that she's feeling. Her excuse to her mother ? " I'm sick.. " was all she could tell her.

" Do you think Bea will be okay ? " Edna asked, as she puts the medication on Neil's face as well.

During the fight last night, Jack wasn't able to beat up Carl and the rest of his friends, instead; Jack was the one beaten up, along with Neil.

" Tsk tsk... your faces are ugly now. " Jenny says truthfully as she observes all the bruises and cuts on Jack's and Neil's face. " How did you let Carl and his friends wreck you up ? "

" Well Jen... there was four of them and 2 of us. What do you expect ? " Neil says.

" It's embarrassing though look... " Edna says and she pulls out her phone from her school bag and shows an uploaded video of the fight last night. " The only part they posted is when you two got wrecked.. " She shakes her head.

The video is now all over social media and the whole school knows about it. Eventually, everyone will find out as to why they were fighting in the first place. So they need to protect Bea once it spreads around campus.
Especially that half of the girls will be rooting for Carl and will probably bash Bea for the crap he actually did.

" I'm embarrassed... " Jack shakes his head side to side in disappointment. " You said you know Taekwondo ? I had to save your ass all the time. " He glares at Neil.

" Chill. I was ten when I took taekwondo classes. " Neil raises his hands in the air, surrendering his whole soul for letting Jack down.

After putting bandages on the small cuts on their faces, they head to their first period classes once the school bell rang. While walking down the hallways, whispers and laughters was all they could hear from the other students. It was expected though, so Neil and Jack tried their best to hide their beaten faces away from all the stares.

" I heard Carl and his friends won the fight. Look how haggard they look... " One of the girls  says out loud as if she wanted everyone to hear.  Her friends started to laugh as they pointed right at Jack and Neil.

" We should've stayed home until our faces are healed. " Jack says, whispering to Neil's right ear through gritted teeth.

" I know that... my handsome face can't get guys at this moment. Do you know how horrible that is ? " Neil whispers back.

" Are you guys done ranting ? " Edna asked, as they continued to walk down the hallway. She stares straight at Carl and his group of friends heading their way. Compared to Jack and Neil, Carl looks completely fine. The only thing he got from the fight last night was a huge bruise on his left cheek.

" You boys can redo the fight and win it this time. " Jenny mumbles under her breath.

" Nope there's still two of us and four of them. Do you want us to die ? " Neil says as they stop right in front of Carl and his friends. They stood there, face to face and not saying a single word.
