"Don't yell…" I shushed him.
It's not like we are in a secluded palace, it's still a public place. Don't make a scene.
"S-Sorry… anyway what did you say, about kidnapping? Is it true…?"
"Kind of… I can't say for sure. But Henry, one of the members of the Student Council needed me because you know I am the cause of all the problems in the school you know?" I Looked at him.
"... Yeah…" He felt a bit unsatisfied by it.
It's not like it's his fault so why worry about me? Really, this person is either too stupid or too much of a worrywhat. I wonder how his reputation in the class, no in the school, is so high? That's also one of the mysteries I wanted to know but it doesn't hold priority as of now so let's keep it to myself.
"So in order to remove the obstacle, he wanted to get rid of me and I don't know how or why he thought of kidnapping her. She is the daughter of the chairman and it's also not that we are close to each other." I said.
Yes, it's still not the time to reveal my connection with Iris, especially not after Peter got a crush on her. Who knows what kind of delusions he will think of. Let the non-important details be silent.
"So why did she get captured?" Worriedly asked Peter.
"I don't know… but in order to free her I had to do something. Also I had to get myself to safety since Henry was getting physical along with two pawns of his." I said.
"What?!" Peter gasped.
"I was the one who got hurt, why is the one making a fuss? ALso don't yell all of sudden…" I again had to shush him.
I already had enough of myself getting stared at school, I don't prefer it outside as well. And this stupid emotional person is too much of a crybabay. Really it's now starting to get on my nerves, how come this stupid brat got soo high in the social heriachy. Does he know some kind magic to make himself popular, huh?
"S-Sorry…" he apologized instantly as I sneered at him.
Warning him I said, "Next time and it will be the end of the conversation."
"Yeah… sorry."
"Alright. So Henry got violent and started to attack me so in order to protect myself I took measures to protect myself. Like… self defense, yes. It was self defense." I tried to assure him.
Well technically it's true that it was self defense. But in reality it was more like a slaughter. It's better if that fact is kept hidden. Also, now that the Principal knows about the health of Henry I am sure she must have been furious, of course the hint was that yell. But she can't do anything to me since I have a shield, i.e., Iris. If only Henry had taken someone else as a hostage, I wouldn't have gone that far. Nevertheless, it's done and nothing can be done about it.
Even if she wants to punish me she can't, she will have to give testimony and I have two people who will support me and will go against her. One being the victim, Iris and the other being Peter. If the Principal wished to punish me she would first have to tell her that Henry kidnapped or captured or forcefully held inside a room without any consent, and tried to attack Allen. He either self-destructed or got at me after removing my supporters and that's almost impossible to do.
"Really?! Are you hurt anywhere…?" Peter searched all over.
Thankfully before leaving I cleaned the blood on my shirt from the water that was placed on the table in the Council room. Although it's not entirely gone, slight impressions are left but I was able to hide it pretty well with my hand and the bag. Also, since Henry's punch was not something to take lightly, I got hit several times on the face.
Although it's not painful now, it's still swollen a bit, but since it hasn't been that long, no marks have been formed as of now. All that is left is a small scratch below my eyes. And as of the blood on my face, I wiped it off with a cloth nearby.
"Ah-ha! There's blood…!" Peter implored.
"Where?"
I was sure I cleaned every place.
"Look under your cuffs. It's slightly red. It's blood. What did you do, Allen?" Peter inquired.
"Self defense. He came at me, I punched him back as a 'S E L F D E F E N S E' so maybe it's his blood." I said.
"Hmm… Well, I have heard rumors about Henry having a bad attitude. So it's not entirely impossible for him to get violent, and he is feared by most of the students. Mostly because of those musculars arms we see and the other half who have actually seen him in action." Peter shrilled.
"So you know how he is a very, very bad person?"
"Yeah, it's horrible that he tried to attack. It's a good thing nothing serious happened to you," Peter said with concern.
"Yeah."
Yeah, it's better to keep the truth a secret to him. His sympathy for me will only help me get further.
"Still it's weird how you got away in good condition. I am no expert but he is rumored to be a fighter and on the other hand you…"
"What? Are you trying to pick a fight with me now, huh?" He looked at me with concern, and it was more like pity.
Do I look that weak to him? Isn't that insulting? He should have seen Henry's condition, I am sure he would have fainted at the spot.
"No-no. Nothing… it's good that you came okay." He sighed.
…
With no further questions, Peter left me and went on ahead. He was supposed to meet someone before hitting home so he had to go to a cafe or something. Hearing that, I even felt a little urge to go to a cafe or something.
Ordering a nice ice-cream and savoring it's flavor slowly. A calm place and no one to disturb you.
Alright it's decided. I am going to a cat cafe. Yes, with all those small cute little creatures people won't talk loudly or otherwise it will scare them. Yes, it's the best place for me to hang out.
I went on ahead with the route advised by the phone's GPS. It was like a 5-7 minutes walk, and with not much sun out, the weather was cool. The best weather and the one I prefer the most. Hald sun bathed, along with gentle breeze of cold wind. Passing through the gaps in between the fingers and the air being pushed out from inside the shirt, it made the entire body tingly.
…
It's here. I was right in front of a cat cafe. Not much of a crowd was around it, I suppose people tend to come here on weekends only. Lucky me.
As I was about to enter I was called upon by someone.
"Allen!"
I turned around to see who it was, and surprisingly it was Alex.
"Alex?"
"What's with that look? Aren't you happy to see me here?" He asked.
"Of course not." I said with a smile on my face.
"Wah! What are you doing, Allen? Are you trying to scare me or something? Please don't make that face when you see those little kittens…" Alex begged.
Is my smiling face that bad? Or more like, is it that scary?
"I will be leaving first then."
Now that I know there is someone I know, I can't be here. I wanted to be alone for a while and not with someone. First Peter and his nagging and now him. I feel like even the weather is changing for the worst.
"No, no, no.You came here so let's just go in together!" Merrily Alex grabbed my arms and locked it with his and dragged me in.
I heard the chimes sound-
*Ring*
It made a slight ringing sound. For a second I felt all eye's at me, and of course none of them was of a human being. Yes, it was the gazes of small kittens at the door but only for a matter of seconds. Their attention soon turned to the people inside.
Not many people were here, and most of all, it was quiet.
"Yes, may I help you with anything?" The clerk or the waiter came to the door.
"Yes, a table for two please."
Alex asked with a bright smile. I wonder where he gets this much strength to keep up that face smile. It's clearly a forced on, or otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious of his surroundings at all times. I have started to notice such things recently, everytime someone approaches him, his attitude changes too quickly. His air is more like my air but soon, in a matter of seconds it's turned into something different.
