Chapter 5

Leon

—–

I looked several times in the direction where David was, knowing that a threat was coming for me. There’s no way I’ll ever come face to face with Robert, who likes to tease me, especially if he knows that there is a new student who has become popular.

“David, Come on, we have to get going!” I said to David while dragging his left arm with my right.

But it seems that David, still surrounded by many students who want to ask for a photo with him, can’t get out of the crowd.

That’s enough. I give up. Just let Robert make his jokes which I don’t like.

With his messy face, Robert drew closer to the crowd, trying to figure out what was happening.

.....

“Whoa, what’s this? Why is there so much noise?” asked Robert, immediately making all the students look at him. And at the same time, Robert’s eyes immediately fell on the new student who might be foreign to his eyes.

“Ah, new student! Not bad too! But still won’t be able to beat my prestige, haha!” Said Robert arrogantly with an intimidating look at David.

The students who were queuing for a photo with David and Robert immediately separated themselves and moved away from Robert and David because they knew that after this, there would be a commotion.

When the students separated from the crowd, Robert ambled toward where David was. But his eyes shifted when he saw David’s hand gripping my left hand.

I tried to turn my face away and not look in the direction where Robert was, but I felt like I had failed because he must know where I was.

“Wow, hello, Leon.” He greeted me with his strange style while smiling broadly closer to me.

‘I’m dead!’ I could swear that sentence in my heart when I saw that Robert was approaching me.

“Have you thought of an answer to the question I gave you?” asked Robert as he brought his face closer to mine.

‘PLAK!’

‘SLAPPED’

Hearing the voice near my ear, I immediately widened my eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I said wide when I saw David’s right-hand slap Robert’s left cheek.

“Be polite, and don’t like to tease other people!” David said as he stood in front of me.

Since when has anyone dared to slap Robert’s handsome face, this is the first time I’ve seen it. David is the new student, and he dared to slap Robert on the cheek when Robert was about to tease me.

“We must leave immediately!” I said spontaneously and asked David to leave. Otherwise, there would be a fight between the two of them because I know the character of Robert, who does not want to be looked down upon by others.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” David answered calmly, holding my hand tightly.

I don’t know what he wants to do, but this time I feel like I only believe what he said. I can only surrender.

“Fuck you! How dare you slap my face!” Robert cursed in a tone full of emotion; he clenched his fists and brought them to David’s face.

‘HAP!’

But before Robert’s fist hit David’s face, David managed to grip Robert’s fist right in front of his face.

Robert widened his eyes when he saw his fist caught by David.

“Is that all you’re capable of?” David said in a sinister tone, then slowly twisted and twisted Robert’s fist.

“Arghhh!!! Damn it! Let go! Awwhhh!”

Robert groaned in pain as his fist was twisted in the opposite direction by David. It was the first time I saw that Robert was really in pain being taught a lesson by David.

“Hey, David. Let go! Come on, let’s go!” I said, reminding David while inviting him to leave from the front of the class.

“Ah yes, we will go around the school, hehe!” David replied until he smiled at me, then he waved his hand, holding Robert’s fist to the right, making Robert immediately fall to the floor.

And that’s when David and I decided to leave the place. Many students saw, and many of them were so amazed by what David had done.

Because since Robert entered this school, not a single student dared to oppose him. Only this time, as a new student, David even dared to do that to Robert.

Of course, all the students of this school were surprised by it.

“Bastard! Wait for my revenge!” Robert shouted from a distance when David and I had moved away from the place.

It doesn’t matter what is around me right now because I don’t want to think about it. But I appreciate what David has just done because he did it to defend me.

“Thank you!” I told David at the moment, we were both in the school’s backyard.

“Thank you for what?” David asked me curiously while smiling as if nothing had happened a few minutes ago.

“Oh, forget it!” I answered dryly when he didn’t understand what I meant. Because actually, it’s useless if I have to explain to him.

David and I strolled while introduced to the area behind the school, where there is a hydroponic planting usually used for the practice of students at this school.

“By the way, What exactly does he mean? Why is he asking you to answer a question from him?” David asked me curiously, and I couldn’t seem to get away from the question.

“Huh, I’m lazy to talk about it. But I’ll tell you about it.” I said with a sigh as I was about to tell him what had happened to Robert and me.

“He is the most popular boy in this school; Robert is the boy many girls and boys chase. But I’m not one of them. But I don’t know why Robert always teases me to be his boyfriend. He asked me to be his boyfriend many times. But I never answered his questions, because it’s impossible, the most popular guy asked me to date. Isn’t there another purpose in that?” I explained in a somewhat annoyed tone as I recalled the many incidents in which Robert had teased me.

“Are you listening to me?” I asked David again Because after I explained my complaint, he kept quiet while holding his chin.

“Ah yes, I’m listening to you. I’m just amazed at the man, why he can be like that to you. Why can he want you so much like that.” Said David trying to learn from the story I told him.

But at least when I told him, a slack in my heart started to loosen because I was the only one holding it in before that.

“Then be my boyfriend!”
