Monday
The second period just ended and entered the morning break.
"Teren, can you follow ?"
Dehian asked, making Teren anticipate and nervous at the sa ti. Knowing that 'Iesa' is no longer herself, he was only filled with anticipation because they will have ti together.
It's stupid.
And that's the point.
'She's making my heart beat faster... it hurts...!'
Now that he thought about it... he felt what he had done was redundant. Iesa led him to the ergency stairs.
As usual, they had the spotlight.
"Ahh! It's making so mad!"
"Teren is the luckiest man in the whole world, I want to beat him up!"
Since it's a shared feeling, the students have gained the freedom to let their mouths be loose. To the point that they would badmouth Teren openly. This started a long ti ago but now that the news about Teren and Iesa going out, their jealousy peaked.
"What's with all the rage? Pun unintended."
One of Lina's friends comnted which the second replied.
"The boys are always about Iesa and Iesa. Heh! I'm kind of glad that girl got a boyfriend. Those boys deserve to suffer."
"But is this really alright? I still think that Teren doesn't deserve Iesa..."
This was the point that Lina was waiting for. She had been silently listening from the start and now, she will speak teasingly.
"What? You girls don't know?"
The two girls imdiately jumped towards her.
"What? What?"
"Lina, what is it that we don't know about?"
'Fufufu, look at these gossip velociraptors. They live for gossips which is understandable why their lives are just trash. I can't believe I'm friends with these garbages. But still, they are like the intelligence center in here, only the trashy kind. Now, I'm going to make the most use of them. They know everything from trash to shit. Maybe that's also why their breath stinks since all they consu is trash...'
Lina internally snickered. Toxic thoughts were an endless train of thoughts inside her head. Of course, she answered groundbreaking news to these gossip-hungry students.
"Iesa and Teren already broke up."
""What!??""
...
anwhile, within the ergency stairs, Teren felt a resisting force all over his body.
"Didn't think I would co back so early?"
Dehian smiled while she sat on one row of stairs. She stared down upon Teren.
"..."
"Oh yeah, you have no idea. Sorry, I want to tell you a few things before but seeing your traitorous face any longer might've made kill you!"
She uncontrollably beca sharp with her words. Soon, her deanor beca calm again.
"But after a night of thinking, I have co to terms with myself and now, I'm able to face you without trying to stab you. So anyway, what I wanted to say was..."
Dehian paused as she looked around.
"Are you lucky or unlucky?"
She stood up and walked down towards him.
"Lucky that I can't kill you yet. The Five Houses still has their guard on . If you're alive, they will think that I'm still not a threat. Unlucky that I can't kill you but torture you until you've beco useless."
Dehian then grabbed Teren by the neck. It seed gentle but Teren felt it was unstoppable.
"But don't think you can up . I've brought control over my power along with my return. In short, I've beco a fully-pledged psychic, Teren."
"Urgh..."
Teren felt his neck get squeezed.
"anwhile, you're just a psycho. A ntally ill person. Do you rember when you choked here? Were you having fun back then? I bet not, you can't feel fun nor sadness."
Dehian stared at Teren for a while. It doesn't seem like he will be talking soon while she strangles him. Therefore, she let go.
"You can't fool . Although I still can't read your mind, which is... oddly strange. I know that you still have the strength to fight back. If not, you couldn't fully 'tad' the Spirit of Healing."
She said after turning around.
After coughing while Dehian climbs upstairs, Teren asked, making her stop.
"Is it him who told you that?"
"Yes, a 'great' person like you will never be powerless... but I've been speaking too much. Being with you here will let that naive girl, Iesa co out. See you, next class. Don't talk to her... too much."
The ergency stairs closed, leaving Teren behind. After a few monts, he exited and saw Nick standing there.
There was a brief pause before Nick asked.
"Are you fine?"
"Eh? Why do you ask?"
Teren stretched his neck as if nothing happened.
"Nothing..."
Nick passively looked to the side. Sothing seed to be bothering him.
"It doesn't seem like nothing though."
"Ugh... sorry, but I heard that you two broke up. But now, she called you out here so... I asked."
'Is this dude worrying about ?'
Teren thought but didn't take this thought very seriously.
"You know what, I'm hurt. Why don't we grab so snacks?"
"Sure, you don't need to treat this ti."
"Don't worry, here, I'm your lackey."
Nick walked side-by-side with Teren. He glanced and thought-
'Teren seed to be different than before.'
He couldn't explain it but talking to Teren now seed to be much easier. The two of them went to the canteen and strangely, t people who looked at Teren with mocking faces or with pity.
"What's happening...?"
Nick muttered but Teren just went to the counter to buy snacks. He doesn't seem to care. With his boss like that, Nick couldn't help but not give a fuck about the others too.
After the morning break, Teren was back in his seat. He glanced to his side.
'Now that I think about it, what should I call her? Maybe I should ask her later.'
He felt excited, thinking about it. However, Iesa seed to evade him every chance he got until school ended.
"Co on, Teren, let's go stress-eating. Unfortunately, we can't drink your sadness away yet. We're still minors."
Seeing Teren's new side, Nick felt more lax towards him.
"No, I have sothing, I should go first."
"Where?"
"You know the school they call Public?"
