Prologue

"I could sense jealousy in your eyes. You can't even deny it Neru." Seri rolled her eyes at me. I heaved a sigh.

"You know what Neru, you don't deserve a man like him." She pointed at the boy I like, Devan, who is currently flirting with her girlfriend, Selene. They've been together for a week now and it still kinda bothers me.

Devan and I were close friends not until he chose power and popularity over our friendship. He thought I was 'too boring and too weird' to be his friend and asked me to avoid him. I am disappointed at him however, I cannot seem to still like him even if he changed so much. I guess there is still a part of my heart hoping he'd change back to the way he used to be.

Seri flicked a finger on my forehead which made me direct my vision on her. "Stop staring Neru. You make it look like you're affected." I smiled sheepishly. "Oh. I didn't even noticed I stared at them for too long." She shrugged and scoffed. "Let's just get going." She stood up and picked her things and I did the same.

While walking in the hallway, I spotted a kitten in the garden. I have soft spots for cats you know? "Hey Seri, I think you should go ahead. I'll just check something." She shot me a confused look and I returned an awkward smile. She then nodded and continued to walk.

I ran towards the kitten however it ran away. I followed it and it took me to the back of the school's main building.

It reeked of cigarettes and piss. I covered my nose at the smell. Students who think they are cool usually hang out here. They are bullies and jocks who think they are the owners of the school. Which I personally think is a very stupid principle.

The kitten suddenly stopped and I was about to pick it up to give it care and shelter when I saw a red-haired guy. I immediately picked the kitten and hid behind the trash can and peeked.

"Give me all of your money." One of the Jock Bullies extended his hand. I saw the red-haired guy shrug and heard him chuckle.

"What? My money? Are you kidding me?"

The jock balled his fists and annoyance was seen on his face. "Who do you think you are, Punk?" The bully smirked and the red-haired guy didn't show any sign of fear. Who is he? He seems like a new student.

"Me? I'm just the guy you wrongly messed up." I peeked a little bit more and I saw the red-haired man grin and I saw amusement on his face. He seems to enjoy making the bully annoyed. The Jock lounged forward to punch him but was then kicked on the lower leg which made him fall to the ground.

The red-haired guy put his hands inside his pockets. "Now don't let me see your face again or you are dead. Got it?" My eyes widened and his words sent shivers to my spine. He looked at my direction so I covered my mouth and ran away. I was so nervous I didn't noticed the kitten has already escaped from my grasps

What have I entered myself into?
