《Who is Seri?》

I slowly walked as I entered the campus. Then I saw Xeia, Seira, Serenity talking to someone, I stepped aside to see who they are talking with. It was Seri, I thought to go toward them so that I can talk to Seri. I have a few questions for her.

"Did you see her face?" They laughed.

"She deserved it, after what she did to me"

"Good Job girls"

"OMG is that Renz? Wait, Is he coming here?"

They stopped talking when they see me, so I walked a little closer to them and looked at Seri.

"Can we talk?" I asked, and her face suddenly brightened.

"Sure!" She immediately replied.

"Just the two of us," I said, then the other girls seem to understand what I am saying, so they said goodbye and start walking, and we watched them walked away. When they finally left, I looked at Seri again.

"Why did you do that?" I'm referring to what happened yesterday.

"D-did what?" She asked confusedly.

"Don't act like you didn't know. Maxx didn't ruin my brother's presentation. It was YOU." Her smile suddenly disappeared. I could feel the tension in her chest.

"W-what are you talking about" she's about to leave when I hold her hand.

"I'll let it go this time, but if you do it again, I won't tolerate." I released her hand. "I'm warning you" I added and walked away.

You can't play in P.E class when you're in regular uniform dress-up. So, I went back to our room to change, then I heard a noise.

"I'm sorry Ryle, but I have to do this"

I heard some noise from the puzzle pieces fall. I stepped a little closer to see who is it. "Seri?" She looked around to see if anyone was there. So, I hid on the side. She is now leaving the room, Then I saw the puzzles scattered on the floor. What are her intentions to do that? So I followed her. I keep following her until I saw she's talking to Maxx.

"Maxx, can you do me a favor? Can you put this on Ryle's table? I forgot to give it to him, he needs it for his presentation." She handed a paper, and Maxx accepted it. Now she's leaving. Maxx continues walking again. I guess she's going back to the room. I need to stop her.

"M-max--"

"Renz" I was about to stop her when someone called me.

"What now Gian?" I asked, but, I was still looking for Maxx.

"Our P.E teacher was looking for you, We can't play because you're not there."

"W-wait--"

"Come on, let's go" I didn't do anything because he held my hand.

I keep walking until I reached our room. I entered and walk to my sit. I looked to my right side, and the chair is empty. "She still not here?" The time hastened and, our English teacher is already here, but Maxx chair is still empty. I looked at Vyrie chair, and she's here, but Maxx didn't.

I guess Maxx is absent today. Furthermore, I heard about what happened to her in the cafeteria yesterday, and I hope she's okay now.

It's our lunch break and I saw Vyrie was eating alone so, I motioned the three to sit there. She was surprised to see us.

"Hey, Vyrie where's your friend?" Klent asked.

"Why? Are you going to apologize to her?" She replied while looking at Ryle.

I already said the truth to Ryle, and he felt guilty of what happened. We start eating until someone landed her food on our table.

'Maxx!" Vyrie shouted for excitement. "You're here" she added. Maxx motioned for klent to leave the chair next to Vyrie, and he followed her immediately.

He now sits next to Kib. Wft did he just followed Maxx? What's going on with them, lol.

I looked at Maxx, and I saw on her face the wounds she sustained yesterday. I feel sorry I didn't do anything to help her, I think this is my fault.

We keep eating until Klent stood up, We looked at him. "Maxx, I guess this is the time." He said.

"What are you doing?" Maxx whispered.

"Attention everyone!, Son of the owner of this school speaking!" Then suddenly, all the students looked to Klent.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know"

Klent stepped closer to Maxx, and he held her hand and ordered her to stand up. She didn't do anything but followed him. We're all confused.

"from now on," he'd start talking. "If someone will hurt Maxx, I will face you." He added. The students were surprised by what he said. The surroundings starting to noise.

"What is their relationship?"

"Waaah, so Maxx will be powerful on this campus?"

MAXX POV:

"From now on, if someone will hurt Maxx, I will face you." I feel embarrassed for what he said.

"What are you saying?" I whispered.

"Just shut your mouth and don't interfere, I badly need a new car," he said. Then I suddenly remembered what Mrs. Clara had said to her.

Flashback:

"Why are you doing here?" His aunt asked him. "As usual, me and dad fought." Klent replied.

"Oh, I see, then let's make a deal, keep an eye on maxx. Make sure no one will hurt her in your school." Mrs. Clara said,, and I almost drop my spoon. "Why would I? Wait, are you that close to her?" He said. "If you do that, I will buy you a new car, and I'll talk to your dad to let you use the car." Klent face suddenly brightened. "For real!!?" He said. "Yes, so are you accepting it or not?" I looked at klent, and our eyes met.

"Okay, deal," he said.

End of flashback.

Wft he's serious about that? I want to remove my hand from her and walk away because I can't handle the embarrassment anymore, but I can't move my body, and I'm stuck.
