13 Nicole

Arielle felt dizzy from accidentally hitting his head on the side of the bench where the varsity players' belongings were placed. He's about to get up when he suddenly fell down. Severe pain sometimes lingers all over his body, especially in his head. He felt something like hot liquid on his cheek, and he was shocked that it was blood. There are so many of it and it flows up to his neck, in his white uniform and dripping to the floor. The varsity trainees got into trouble and got close to them.

"Arielle, what happened?" Arielle did not realize that Bernard was already by his side. He was emotionlessly looking at Alain. He just heard Bernard curse and hit the bench hard.

The next thing he know is that Alain fell because Bernard punched him. Even their fellow varsity was surprised on what Bernard did.

"Fvck you! Why do you keep on hurting Arielle? What's the matter with you!" he's about to hit Alain again when his fellow varsity had separated them. Alain wiped his bleeding lips and looked at Arielle.

"What happened here?" Diether and Edrien came.

"What happened here? Why don't you ask that stupid friend of yours?" Bernard said angrily. Alain was just looking at Arielle and was speechless. He wants to get close to Arielle but he can't.

"What is this Alain? Why did you do this?"

Diether ask him.

"I didn't me -" Allan hasn't finished what he was going to say when Bernard punched him again. But his friends were surprised that did not fight back.

"You idiot! Now you're going to say you didn't mean to?" Bernard was really mad. Some of their teammates try to stop him.

"Enough Bernard. Don't take this too far. We'd better take Arielle to the clinic." Edrien said calmly. That was the last thing Arielle remembered before he lost consciousness.

Arielle was then brought to the clinic and accompanied by Lance, Jansen and his friends. While the boys were called in the Guidance Office.

"Tell me what really happened. It'll be better for you to tell the truth if you don't want your father to know this, Mr. Austria." said the Guidance Counselor, Ma'am Loi. She's Diether's Aunt. The four boys (Edrien, Diether, Bernard and Allan) were in there because what happened to Arielle.

"Auntie, wh- - -"

"Mr. Alcantara, call me Ma'am and not Auntie. Let's be professional. We're not at home." Diether fell silent.

"So, who wants to speak first? Hmm .. You Mr. Inoncillo, what happened?" Edrien was a bit surprised because he was the first to be interviewed, because he have been at Halo University for a long time, and its just the first time he's been to the Guidance Office. So are Alain and his friends.

"Ahh I don't know what really happened Ma'am. When Diether and I arrived, we already saw Bernard and Alain in that scene.." Ms. Loi just nodded.

"Mr. Sevilla?" She suddenly asked Bernard.

"I saw Alain pushed Arielle that resulted his head to hit the bench. I just couldn't help it. Allan had been teasing Arielle for a long time, so when I saw what he did, I punched him. Arielle is a very nice person so I don't see a reason for him to do that to Arielle " Bernard explained.

"Is that true Mr. Austria? But why did you push Mr. Angeles? Do you want your father to know about this" Alain could not answer. But Edrien's sure about the reason for him to do that thing to Arielle.

"I'm sorry ... I was a little hot-headed that time, something was just bothering me." Alain explained.

"Hope this will not go any further. You know you shouldn't do that to a person like Mr. Angeles." said Ms. Loi. Everyone nodded.

"You do not know how hard he is going through right now and the previous days. Do not involve him with your foolishness.

I hope it will not happen again. "

"And, I don't know why you are so close to Arielle because you are causing him trouble, especially you." She looked at Diether. "But if possible avoid involving him to your bad doings. I don't know you're aware of this, but Arielle is one of our few and selected scholar. And if Mr. Angeles will be involved in any trouble again, his scholarship will be revoked. " She said while seriously looking to Alain. All of the boys were in silence.

Meanwhile in the school's clinic, Arielle suddenly woke up and the door also opens, and he was surprised who it was who opened it.

"I've heard what happened. Hahahaha! Is that what you called karma?" Alain's girlfriend went in and go near Arielle.

" Hahaha! Look at you. You look so miserable. Poor fag"

"Don't interfere with us again. He will never believe on someone like you. Desperate, loser, flirt. And besides, look at you. Isn't it a sign that you always been into trouble when you are trying to expose me to Alain? Hahahaha."

"Even if he doesn't believe me a few more times, I won't stop until he believes me. You're not deserving to be loved by someone like Alain! You whore!" Arielle said bravely.

"And who do you think's deserving for his love? You? Oh come on! You don't know him, he will never like someone like you." the girl answered.

"Hahahaha! Just go and do what you want. At the end of the everything, who do you think he will believe? I'm his girlfriend" she said flirtatiously.

"You know, a whore like you doesn't deserve to be love by someone." Arielle was so brave while saying those words. Nicole had enough and was about to slap Arielle when the door opened.

"And why the hell are you here?!" JC entered the room with Arielle's friends.

"You bitch! You're such a whore. I know you remember me. I intentionally bump into you last day when you're with another man and acting flirty. I even took a picture of you as an evidence. Let's wait until Alain saw this one." Jansen said while showing her the picture.

"Now leave before I do something" Jansen said.

"Just wait for Alain to know about all of these." Arielle said.

"I'll make sure Allan won't believe you." Nicole uttered before she leaves.
