6 The b*tches

Lunch break. Arielle and his friends were eating in the school's cafeteria.

"Oh God! Guys have a look! Someone posted this video" Lance said while showing us his phone. "This video has just recently posted in the Halo page."

Arielle almost dropped the fork he was holding when he saw what the video is all about.

That video is a footage of him and Alain fighting last time. But the one that was uploaded is the part where he slapped Alain.

"There are so many views and comments right now, -- I will never forgive what you did to Alain -- " Jansen read one of the comments.

"You fag! You bitch! How dare you to slap Alain!" Lance said while also reading one of the comments.

"I want to slap your face for a hundred times for slapping Alain. Don't ever show your ugly face to me." Sien's sarcastic reading on one of the comments.

"Wait... That's enough. You're scaring me." Arielle said. They also noticed that a lot of people are watching over them, especially at him. It was as if they were peeling Arielle's body alive based on their deadly looks.

"Why did you slap him? Don't you know who he is?" concerned Ara said.

"It's not like that. What really happened was ..." and Arielle told them what really happened.

"So it's Alain's fault in the first place. That guy really hasn't changed. That's why many students are avoiding him." Arielle answer with a nod.

"But why was that part only uploaded? For me, it looks like the one who did that wants you to get into trouble. But who will do that to you?" Jansen added.

"I do not know either."

"Dummy account, the account used to upload that video is a dummy account. Ms. Terious is the name of the person who posted." Lance said.

Arielle was about to drink his juice when someone suddenly pulled his hair, not just a simple pulling of hair, but a hard one.

"Ouch!" Arielle feel like his hair will be removed by the person pulling his hair. Luckily he was also released immediately.

"How dare you to do that to Alain? Even his parents can't lay hands on him. But you? You fag!" A girl said. She is also a student from the same school. Arielle don't know them, and the girl is with some other girls that he also doesn't knew.

"Who are you? And why did you pull my hair?" Arielle shouted. But the girl suddenly poured to Arielle the juice that he was about to drink awhile ago.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing to our friend?" Jansen has joined the commotion.

"Hey you, don't interfere in this." said the another woman. There are five of them. One who pulled Arielle's hair, one who poured the juice to Arielle, one who stops Jansen from interfering them, and then there are two more.

Arielle was shocked when someone slapped him. The same person who pulled his hair.

"You bitch, listen to me, stay away from Alain!"

"And to Diether" the other girl said.

"Especially to Edrien." Said the girl who threw him the juice.

"Why are you so mad? Are you Alain's girlfriend after all?" Arielle said. The girl did not respond.

"No... And it is not for you to bug into. Get away from Alain, then!" Arielle knew it!

"So you're not his girlfriend, so you don't have the right to stop me even if I want to approach him. Besides, you don't know what really happened."

"You bitch!" The girl would have slapped Arielle again when Edrien came.

"Jezreel! That's what you should never do or I will report you." said Edrien.

"Edrien, you better be on our side. That gay slapped me! Jezreel just defended me!" Said the girl who poured juice to Arielle.

"Do not reverse the situation. I saw what happened. And you Jez, please leave." Edrien said. The girls leave immediately after giving Arielle a glare.

"We'll get back to you." The girls said before leaving.

"Are you okay?" Edrien suddenly asked. The girls already left but the people's attention were still at them.

"Thank you for saving us. It's good that you came. Look at our friend." Jansen said. Arielle is wet because of the juice.

"I'm sorry for what she did. She is the daughter of my Dad's bestfriend. Arielle, I have an extra uniform in the locker, use it for now." That’s what to like about Edrien. He is super smart, athletic, and kind.

"Thank you."

"Wait, you mean, That crazy woman is your friend?" Jansen asked in shock.

"Ah .. Yes .. That's really the way it is. Besides, I don't really care about it"

"They're perfectly match, both Alain and that witch both have bad attitudes." Arielle said.

"Alain has a girlfriend, and she's not that witch ." Eyu said.

"Come with me. You need to get change now."

"Ah okay."

Their last subject has ended, and Arielle is surprised that Alain and Diether are not in the room. He's beside Edrien and they're packing their things before going home.

"Where is Alain? I mean, where's Alain and Diether?. Why are they absent?"

"They're not really absent. Alain went to the next building to see his girlfriend. And Diether said he would meet someone." Edrien replied.

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"I mean .. Don't you have a girlfriend? Or a special someone?" Edrien just laughed at what Arielle ask.

"No .. No ... I am really focused on studying and sports right now. I don't have time for that." Now Arielle was laughing at his answer.

"Are you for real?"

"Yes. That's what my younger brother wants. He wants me prioritize my study and finish college then when I graduated, that's the time he said I look for a partner."

"So do you have a younger brother huh"

"Before." he said sadly.

"Huh? Why?"

"He's already passed away."

"Sorry."

"Nothing to worry about. I just shared about him. Wait, you have a brother right? Alain mentioned earlier."

"Wait, why would Alain say that to you? And how did he knew about it? But yes, I have a younger brother."

"Really? It's cute. I want to meet him soon."

"Umm hey. Can I offer you a ride? If it's okay. I want to meet your brother. Also so I know where you live. If it's okay." Edrien added.

"Are you sure?. I know you still have work to do. "

"Yes." Edrien answered. Arielle know he just misses his younger brother. No one wants to lose a sibling. Not even me.

"Okay, if that's what you want."

"Yes! Thank you! I'll wait for you in the parking lot." Edrien leaves. His mood changed. He's very excited and happy.

Arielle was about to go to the parking lot when he saw Allan, along with a familiar woman. Alain was with the girl Arielle bumped into at the mall.

Arielle got confused.

"Isn't that girl dating another guy at the mall last Tuesday?"
