3 Chapter 3: Two–faced Bad Boy

It's been one month since Halora met the campus bad boy. Her life turned upside down, suddenly came to be a  wonderful blessing in disguise.

She heard a lot about his past, family background but she never believe on it.

"Did you heard about it?" spoke a short, white girl wearing a yellow crop top.

"Sandra, are you even listening to me?" she asked her devastatingly.

Her gaze stuck on the schoolgirl who worn a loose white shirt paired with skinny pants and white rubber shoes.

Her ginger red long hair was blown up by the wind when she giggled artlessly.

Sandra glared at her for a couple of minutes, yet, it seemed like she has no plans for looking into somewhere distant.

"Don't try to annoy her, Lou! Can't you see? That girl is giggling with Seb again! She's been with him since last month, for heaven's sake!"

"Garry, please calm down! Instead of arguing, why would make a plan...," A girl who seatedb next to Lou suggested while holding a cup of milk tea.

Crossed legs, short skirt, fair white skin accentuated her natural beauty.

"You are right, Sunny! You have made my day huh," Finally, the leader of the group came back to her senses. She was excited for making a plan for how she can get even with Halora for stealing Sebastian Woo from her.

With a wide smile on her crimson lips, Sandra shook her head and murmured, "I don't have to rush things up! I'll get whatever I want and at the right time, that girl will suffer and regret everything!"

Sandra looked at her friends and made a grand plan before the bell rang.

Halora was silently reading the book on her lap. She was all by herself after she was with him earlier.

She wondered why where he was at the moment, but, she shrugged her shoulder and continued reading.

After classes, she would always stay in the classroom until the school's guard tell her to go home.

"What time is it?" she mumbled and looked at the wall clock. "Quarter to six? Time truly flies too fast."

She flipped the page and read back again. Until she noticed a shadow of a man near at the door.

Halora immediately closed the book and put it inside of her bag. Until she heard an awful sound which made her stumbled.

"Wh–who's there? Wh–who are you?!" She narrowed her eyes and looked throughout the empty room until the light bulb blinked.

Her pulse stopped pounding as she couldn't see anything. "Huh! Huh!" She searched for her bag but failed to touch it.

Halora has been struggling to overcome nyctophobia since she was five years old. It was hard for her to breathe as she couldn't find her medicines kit.

"H–help... he–he–help me! Pl–please, I... ca–can't breathe!"

She touched her heart, "Help me! I am a–afraid of darkness," she asked for help but the shadow of a man vanished instantly.

But she couldn't take the complication anymore. Halora closed her eyes and hoped for someone to save her from death.

"Halora?"

"Where are you? Halora!"

A loud, horrible voice called her name. He seemed to be frightened and afraid he might lose her.

No one answered until he noticed that one of the classrooms was too dark and wide opened.

"Halora?"

"Wake up! Halora!"

He gently tapped her pale face, yet, she remained unconscious. Sebastian Woo cursed repeatedly and thought of bringing her to the nearby hospital.

Aside from the school's guards, there was no one around to help him. "Young Master, what happened to her?"

"She's unconscious! We need to rush her to the hospital, now!" Sebastian shouted at the man in his middle age.

He quickly opened the passenger seat and let Seb entered the car.

"Drive as fast as you can, Greg! She needs to be treated as soon as possible!"

"Aye, Young Master!"

Greg drove too fast and looked at the young boy through the mirror. He saw sadness, fear, and anger in him. "He's changing...," he murmured shortly and looked straight to the road.

Upon reaching the hospital, Seb carried Hermione inside, calling for help until three nurses saw him.

"This way, Sir!" One of the nurses said while pushing the hospital bed.

Seb held her wet, cold hand while running to the ER. Greg tried to stop him but he insisted and fear no one, even the owner of the hospital.

"You can't come inside, Sir! Please wait for the meantime and we will do everything we can to save your girlfriend!" The nurse told him, and he was narrowing his eyebrows towards her.

Before he agrees to her, he said, "She's not my.," he paused and swallowed greedily and turned his back on her.

"Young Master, your father will going to know about this," said Greg, looking at the peaceful hallway. He leaned to the wall, "Who is she? You looked truly frightened that you might lose her."

Seb walked into the bench and seated. He looked at him oddly enough to make him confused with his actions.

"Look at her face, Greg. Look at her angelic face,"

"Can't you still forget about her? It's been two years since she...,"

Greg was about to finish his words when he saw the doctor coming from the emergency room. He quickly poked the young boy and said, "Good day, doctor! How's the young girl doing?"

The doctor gave him an assuring smile that caught Seb's attention. He tried to be calm and act normally, yet, he couldn't control his emotions.

"What... what happened to her?!" Seb asked, holding his deep breath. "Answer me! What happened to h–"

A loud footstep sounded off around the hallway which caught their attention. Seb looked behind him and saw a boy, running towards them.

"What happened to her, Doc? Please, answer me! Answer me!" A young boy begged in front of them that made Seb surprised.

"Who are you?" He asked the young boy sarcastically who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "And why are you even here?!"

The young boy laughed mischievously which made the Doctor shut her mouth and listened to them.

"I know Halora and not just like you! You are a two-faced bad boy!" He told him angrily until...,

Seb held his breath, closed his fist furiously, and little did he know, the young boy stumbled and fell to the ground, bleeding and wounded.

But, who is the young boy who suddenly arrived at the hospital? Who is he and why does he know Halora very well?
