Monday ca, and I went to school, attended class, and did everything as usual.
Well, I had to act casually to cover up my nervousness. I had that used syringe inside my backpack right now. Logan and I agreed to et in the club room after class. He said he could examine the syringe later.
Honestly, I felt that Logan had a lot of secrets and problems outside of school, but he never told anything. Not that he was obliged to do it anyway.
I was just curious, especially after what I witnessed in that dark alley.
He had soone—or even many people going after him, even though he was just sixteen years old.
I didn't want to guess though, I didn't want to assu sothing that might only worsen my anxiety..
Besides, I had to focus on my objective right now, to investigate and collect enough evidence against Leah. I could push her into a hell hole.
I walked to the club building after class with the syringe on my backpack. As usual, I checked the schoolyard, and after making sure that Mason wouldn't be able to spot , I rushed to the club building.
I headed straight to my club building. But when I passed the Boxing club room, a strong hand suddenly ca out of nowhere and grabbed my arm tightly.
He slamd my back to the wall, "Argh!"
I closed my eyes, grimacing in pain, thinking that I had been attacked by soone. But when I opened my eyes, I saw Leah and two of her boys already standing in front of .
"So, uh… what's her na again?" Leah asked one of the boys behind her. The boy whispered, and Leah continued her speech, "So, Emlyn, I haven't heard from you since your last club visit. Everything in my Boxing club is well managed, right? Don't forget our agreent. You need to introduce to that club president of yours."
I knew that she would co for this, sooner or later. Maybe she brought her boys to intimidate so I could just say yes and yielded.
But I didn't want to yield when I was clearly disadvantaged here. I literally got nothing from my club visit. I had zero information!
"It's no deal, Miss Leah. Your club mbers are so secretive to , especially that boy nad Jas. He didn't let ask one question to other club mbers, and when I asked him, he just said it's confidential."
"Oh? Confidential? Tell then, what were you asking before? As the manager of this club, I should have an answer for that," Leah said, but her gaze had a trace of maliciousness. I could sense that the boys behind her were also trying to intimidate .
I had no fear against them, though, since this was a public corridor and plenty of students were passing by.
I was about to say, 'I asked them how could you guys beco Leah's slave?'
But then I realized it would only kill on the spot. So I rearranged the words, "I asked him about the thod behind their solidarity, and they said it's because you have your way to destress."
"Then I asked him what kind of destressing thod you guys are doing, but he refused to answer," I said.
"Oh really? Is that really what you asked?" Leah scoffed, "Call Jas here. Let's hear from him."
Jas glared at and then asked, "What are you calling for, Miss?"
"You see, this girl said that you're hiding our thod to destress. Didn't I tell you that you need to tell everything to her?"
"Yes, Miss, I already told her that you treat us with al often, and we're pleased with it. That's our way to destress," Jas replied, repeating the sa fake ass answer he gave before.
Leah showed a smug face as she turned her head at , "See? He tells the truth. I treat them with food almost every day, so they're healthy and well-fed. That's the secret behind our solidarity and competitiveness."
"Were you accusing us of sothing else? Tsk, tsk, Emlyn, just because you're too poor to provide for your club doesn't an that you can slander soone else," Leah taunted even more.
It seed that she had seen through since the first ti I ca for a club visit. I thought I was the one who played her. It turned out I was the one who got played.
All she wanted was just contact for Logan, and she got it.
"It's a deal, right? I want to see that club president of yours. Give his number," Leah demanded.
Behind her, the two boys and Jas glared at simultaneously, pressuring to just yield to Leah.
Honestly, the best action I could do right now was just selling Logan out like before, giving his number to Leah.
But at the sa ti, I knew that Logan would mock and take as an idiot who got tricked so easily. He would see as incompetent.
Thus, I tried to find another thod, at least a thod to delay the inevitable until I could co with a better plan.
"My president is also interested in you, Miss Leah. He said he'd give you his number after you two et," I replied.
"Oh? He wants to personally give his phone number? That's very interesting. Did you say sothing to him before?" Leah asked.
"He already knew about you when I told him about it, and he said he has been interested in knowing you better for a while. But because you've been surrounded by many boys, he got discouraged."
The lies flowed smoothly out of my mouth to convince Leah to release for now.
"Hmm… that sounds fun," Leah was considering it for the mont, and she agreed, "Go tell him that we can et alone whenever he wants to. I'm very curious about him as well~."
