CHAPTER 6

What's the big deal anyway, it's not like this seat was reserved for someone else. The teacher went on to discuss but not before letting me introduce myself in front of my classmates to which I found difficult to do since Kaval was distracting me by making sorts of faces to where I used all my willpower to not laugh too. After that, classes resumed like normal, maybe only the new students get to introduce themselves on the first day.

The teacher discussed things about history to which I found interesting. I've always loved learning things since that's the only thing I could do so much, obtaining knowledge. Almost half of the students were sleeping while the others, well they were doing their own stuff. Groans erupted an hour later due to the teacher announcing that we were having a quiz. Kaval stood up and dragged his chair towards mine which by the way, made this horrible sound.

"Quit doing that!" I said to him in an annoyed tone, but he only continued, I looked over to the teacher waiting for him to scold this annoying brat, but he didn't, the students didn't say anything either. He sat back on his chair when he reached the spot beside me.

"I had to move here so that you won't have any trouble giving me answers." I looked at him with a disgusted face to which laughed at.

"And you thought I was going to give you?"

"Of course! Or else I'll annoy you even more." I just rolled my eyes as he chuckled. The teacher performed some magic things and voila, we had papers that had questions of course, and then a pen.

I wrote my name and started answering. I mean the questions were easy but maybe because I listened to the discussions. I was almost finished when someone nudged me. I looked over to see Kaval with his puppy eyes and pouting lips. I almost smiled but remembered we weren't in good terms and were in the middle of a quiz.

"What?!" I whispered. He smiled for a moment and handed me his test paper. I looked at him as if asking if he was serious, but he only tilted his head to the side. I looked over to the teacher who was busy reading a certain book. Sighing, I quickly grabbed his paper and looked around making sure no one saw.

I quickly answered them, but I also had to make a few fake mistakes just, so the teacher won't find it suspicious. I motioned him to grab the paper and he quickly complied. The rest of the class was still not finished so I took that as a cue to doze off for a bit, but boy was I wrong.

The moment I laid my head on the table, the classroom door opened, and two students came tumbling in. My desk was near the door, so I tried to move further away from the scene not wanting to be hurt. I mean, they were punching each other. The others were now looking at them forgetting about the quiz.

The teacher immediately stood up and grabbed the one who was bleeding really badly and just by then did I noticed that Kaval was grabbing the other person. My eyes slightly widened when I knew who it was. Hade. He looked so angry and his eyes were filled with rage. He had his fist shaking in anger. What could this other student do to make Hade this mad?

"Get back to answering!" the teacher commanded. Immediately everyone went to their own business as if nothing happened but my gaze we're fixed on the person who was poorly beaten by Hade.

"I'm going to take Philip to the clinic as for you Mr. Morningstar, you're going to meet me at the office." the teacher said with a low tone. Hade grabbed his wrist from Kavals grasp as Kaval questioned him about what happened. I looked back to our teacher who was struggling to carry the boy named Philip, so I stood up and grabbed Philips's other hand and placed it on my shoulder.

"I thought you might need some help sir." I mean, the boy was taller than him, not mentioning he had the build like he went to exercise every day. The teacher offered me a smile and I nodded. We were about to leave the room when Kaval called me.

"Where are you going my new friend." I rolled my eyes while heading to the clinic.

"I'm helping our teacher obviously." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"I thought you said you didn't want us to be friends" I added and turned my head to show the smirk that I was wearing.

He chuckled and made a gesture that was as if he was shooing me away. I chuckled lightly at his childish behavior, I turned my head around but not before catching a glimpse of a still furious Hade. I mean he always looked like he was angry anyways but the rage in his eyes was no longer present and was replaced by a questioning look.

"Lay him down here". The healer spoke as soon as he saw Philip, she had dark hair and dark eyes and wore the typical aid person attire.

"You can go back to your class now Alex." The teacher spoke but I was quick to answer him.

"Oh no it's fine sir, I don't have any class until one in the afternoon." I offered him a small smile. He nodded and after a while, the healer had a talk with the teacher and I was left alone with Philip at the clinic.

He was now topless since he had small cuts on his chest, the healer placed some bandages on it, his lips were busted and there was an evident purple mark on his face, I mean god! How hard can that Hade dude punch?

"Alex, thank you for helping me bring him here. I will leave and go to the office to have a talk with Hade, I'll see you around." I only nodded and heard the door close. The clinic was yet again an average one but with all the luxuries and there were only a few beds in here. I decided to stand up and look around, I walked towards the window and saw the backside of the academy.

It was filled with trees and there was a lake in the middle and a volcano that stood miles away from the academy, yet its beauty was still seen. The scenery was so vibrant, and I started to get lost when I heard a clear of throat. I look back to where it came from, still dazed from what I just saw. Oh yeah, Philip's awake.

He looked like was going to collapse again so I went to his side immediately. I don't know and don't judge me cause I'm like this. I just don't want anyone getting hurt and I am completely against any form of violence and discrimination. He looked at me in bewilderment and I did the same.

I'm in the same room with a person whom I do not know, back at home, if one person who had no relation nor reason to approach me is held in week-long restraining order, an absolute command from my father and I have tried countless times to ask him on why, but I couldn't get the answer.

"I'm leaving now". I said in and walked towards the door, but Philip grabbed my wrist stopping me on my tracks. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, he immediately withdrew his arm and smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck.

"Uh, you're one of them, right?" He questioned, and I nodded.

"Why are you here?" I sat down on the chair near the bed Philip was laying at and then crossed my leg.

"I helped our teacher carry you here because it looked like you would crush him with your weight". I chuckled and so did he.

"Well its always an honor to be touched by a royalty". He said but I blushed at his words, I mean is it only me or my mind seems to think other things. His eyes widened when he realized and also blushed. There was now an awkward tension in the air and I'm ready to leave at any moment.

"That sounded so wrong."

"Sure did." He sighed and spoke again.

"I meant that its always an honor to see you, what more when you help me." He said while scratching the back of his head. I nodded assuring him that it was fine since he was still blushing. The door opened, and it revealed the healer that I once saw.

"Mr. Philip, you are free to leave any time of the day since you don't have any serious injuries, although I do advise that you rest and tend to the cuts. You don't want them to get infected." She spoke and then bowed her head after leaving. I got up from my seat and went for the door when I heard him.

"Wait up, I don't want to get bored here." I continued walking as he caught up to me immediately despite his state. I laughed silently as I heard small pants coming from him.

"You walk pretty fast".

"You're just injured". He chuckled at my response. It was almost third period, and some are already out of their classroom. We were receiving stares from some and I was a little bothered, Philip seems to notice this as he dragged me out of the hallway.

"You know you're dragging a prince, right?" I mused to him.

"I know, it's scary." he sighed while laughing. We earned more stares, but I was not minding them. I was enjoying how careless we are at this moment. I mean I was being dragged by a person who just got beaten up and now was dragging me to who knows where.
