The Fallen HODWIII

Chapter 3 : Fight

"Claire, where did you come from?" Drena asked after seeing me at the window, curiosity on her face.

Shrugging, I said, "Just looking for fresh air."

"I see. Come on, let's eat," she offered, smiling, and I nodded.

We headed to the kitchen and started eating our food.

"You should cook earlier, Drena," Cassy suggested. "My tummy isn't ordinary anymore."

"Cassy, you need to learn the word diet sometimes," Drena said as she took a spoonful of rice. "If you can't control your hunger, you will gain weight and won't be able to become a model, even if you want to."

"This is Coby's fault," Cassy pouted. "Sometimes I think of leaving him, but I love him so much. He's just too stubborn."

Drena sighed. "If you love him, then keep understanding. Love his ways but tell him 'enough' if it's too much."

"I know. He just doesn't listen sometimes," she said sadly, playing with the spoon in her plate.

I continued eating in silence, then drank my water. "I'm full," I said, standing up to take my plate and putting it in the sink.

"Just leave it there, Claire! I'll take care of that later," Drena yelled for me to hear.

She doesn't need to yell; I could hear even if they whispered. Drena takes care of the dorm, and she doesn’t have a say in it since she loves doing house chores.

I went to my room and prepared myself for the first day of class in our fourth year level.

After finishing our daily preparations, we walked toward our respective classes.

On our way, I noticed that there were more students than last school year.

"Do you think the enrollment rate has increased?" Drena asked curiously.

"I think so; there are many more students than last year," Cassy answered, stating the obvious.

"Hmm... it seems like they came here for a challenge. When people heard that the Silencer came here, the school gained a reputation, but somehow it creates fear. Well, I bet these new students are stronger," Drena stated, sharing her assumption.

"I don't think that's the only reason," I said blankly, looking at the number of girls running toward the Insigma Fighters mansion, screaming and giggling on their way.

"Fuck," I heard Drena curse softly.

"Now I need to learn the word diet," Cassy murmured. "With that number of pretty girls, I shouldn’t be defeated."

The Insigma Fighters have become more famous in and outside of the school because of the issue that the Silencer worked with them. That’s why many reporters came after the incident to interview the Insigma Fighters, but they remained silent.

And now, girls and even boys adore them.

"Do you think they can get to their classes like that?" Cassy asked, pointing at the mansion surrounded by a bunch of people.

Calculating, I said, "They can’t get out of it unless someone reports those students, or they'll wait until class starts." I added, *or I'll kill them all.*

"Do I have to report those students?" Drena asked.

I shrugged.

"Let them; it's the Insigma Fighters' problem, not ours. We have to focus on our class," Cassy calmly stated as she smiled.

"Okay," Drena simply said, but the look on her face told otherwise.

"So, into the restaurant again, guys. Let's see each other at lunch!" Cassy exclaimed and walked away, separating from us.
