Tragedy

I thought about it for a moment before opening the door, looking that there was nothing suspicious in the room I came in, followed by the girls who then closed the door.

"Where is the surprise?" I asked them in confusion.

"We will need a few minutes to prepare it. Can you go to that corner and turn to the wall? Oh! Also close your eyes and cover your ears, we don't want to spoil the surprise everyone worked so hard to make." Natalie said with a warm smile.

I thought for a moment before replying.

"Alright, but try to be a little quick, someone is waiting for me."

Then I went to a corner and did as she said.

During that time I was trying to guess what kind of surprise they were up to. They said it would have to do with sweets, so it definitely is a good thing-

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted as I felt someone shaking my body.

'So it's finally ready, I wonder what the surprise is-' as I opened my eyes and discovered my ears, I was suddenly dumbfounded.

"KYAAAAAAAA!"

"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! HELP!"

The girls, Natalie and Leilane, were clinging on me and screaming like crazy with tears in their eyes, but that wasn't the worst part.

Both Natalie and Leilane were covered with bruises and their clothes were ripped.

'What is going on?' I started to panic.

I looked around the room and besides being messed up there were no other suspicious signs. Then I tried to calm them down.

"Both of you calm down! You need to stay calm for us to solve this situation!"

I did not know what was happening but I tried to help them by saying words with reason.

Suddenly the door swung open as people started to enter the room, and not only that-

SLAP!

Natalie suddenly slapped me on the face, making my world go blank for a moment.

"HELP! Arthur is attacking us!"

"My body hurts! Help me!"

With tears in their eyes they rushed towards the crowd and tried to hide from me.

I looked at the crowd and could see looks of disbelief towards me, not only that, Lily, Ellie, Aria and Yue were there as well with their faces pale.

It was only at this moment that I realized my situation.

Natalie and Leilane for some reason are trying to incriminate me. The worst part is that it is working.

'I need to solve this situation! My friends and sister are here as well, they know I would never do this!'

"They are lying! I did nothing! They tricked me in this situation!"

I said it aloud but my words did not reach them. Lily, Aria, Yue, and Ellie had tears dropping from their eyes, the look on their faces was starting to hurt me.

'No way…'

A sudden possibility started to form in my head, but I quickly denied it.

They never would do this…

But against my expectations Aria started to speak with a weak voice.

"Arthur… why?"

It was only one word but I felt pain in my heart. The four most precious people to me were doubting me.

My body was shaking, I was afraid of a scary possibility coming true. I tried to open my mouth and answer Aria, but at this moment our teacher appeared with a fiery gaze.

"Arthur Akai, come with me to the principal office right now."

Then he turned his head towards Natalie and Leilane and asked the students to bring them to the infirmary and report the situation to the nurse.

Seeing that I wasn't moving, he grabbed my arm and took me to the principal office.

During all this process I had an empty look on my face. My thoughts were frozen with the images of Aria, Ellie, Lily and Yue crying.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Inside the principal office.

The principal, Elias Smith asked my teacher as we barged in.

"Teacher Vander, what brought you here?" He said with an eyebrow raised.

"My student Arthur violently assaulted two classmates."

The principal who was relaxed suddenly straightened up his body and looked at me with a serious gaze. He then turned his gaze back to teacher Vander and said,

"Tell me everything."

"Me and a group of students were walking towards the gym to receive the sweets teacher Elina was distributing when we suddenly heard screams coming from the storage room. We opened it only to see the sight of the two girls with bruises in many parts of their bodies and clothes torn. Nalie grasped the opportunity Arthur was distracted with our entrance and slapped him, which allowed Leilane and her to escape from Arthur. They then told me that Arthur invited them to that room and suddenly started attacking both of them. He punched, kicked, and tore their clothes while telling them to shut up and be quiet. Just when they were about to give up we arrived and saved them. That is what happened."

I heard everything my teacher said with a shocked look. Then I indeed remembered him talking with the girls in a corner, he must have worried about their condition and also wanted to know what happened.

Anyway, I need to defend myself.

"What they said is not true! They wanted me to go with them to show me a surprise, then they said to me-"

"Enough Arthur. I will call your parents and the parents and the girls, then we will talk." (Principal)

'That's not good.'

This was what I thought. The situation was not getting better, instead it was escalating. The unwellness I was feeling became stronger and I wanted to get out of here and go home. I wanted to explain everything to Lily, Aria, Yue and Ellie, they would believe me.

The principal then made some calls and left the office.

TIme passed as I stayed alone with teacher Vander, we didn't talk. While I was Immersed trying to figure out a way to solve this situation, the principal came back.

"Both of you come with me to the meeting room."
