It's been over two months now since Das started tutoring Elena.

Things were going well at the start, but now everything is starting to go back to how it was.

Elena still doesn't know why Das is keeping his distance from her.

She tried to ask him, and he replied with, 'I am the same as always'

Ever since that day, Das hasn't talked with Elena about anything aside from studying.

Elena thought he was still angry about what happened at the cafe the other day, but Das denied it.

"You got it?", Das questioned, shooting a glare at Elena.

Elena hesitantly nodded and said, "Y-yes"

Das raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright"

He slid the notepad towards Elena and said, "Solve it in front of me"

Elena gulped down and took the stylus pen in her hand as she tried to solve it.

Three minutes passed, but Elena wrote nothing.

Das furrowed his eyebrows and said, "So now you are lying too?"

Elena shook her head crazily and said, "No. I wasn't trying to lie"

"Then why did you nod and said yes when I asked if you understood or not?"

Elena looked at her shoes and muttered, "Because you were glaring at me"

"I wasn't glaring at you, I was just looking at you"

"That's not how you look at people"

"Enough. Focus on what I am teaching you right now"

"Teach me again"

Das' face twitched as he shouted, "It was the seventh time!"

"But I don't understand it"

"That's because you are an idiot! Just drop out of the school"

Elena's eyes got teary as she started crying.

Seeing her cry, Das g.r.o.a.n.e.d and said, "There she goes again"

"Why do you always yell? Can't you speak with some love"

"That's because an idiot like you would never understand"

Elena was constantly wiping her tears, but tears kept falling down her eyes.

Das stared at her as she tried her best to not cry.

He stood up and said, "You better stop crying before I come back"

He left the room and closed the room behind him.

After walking for a while, he clenched his fist and looked up at the ceiling.

'I did it again'

He raised his hand slowly and punched the wall.

"Dammit"

'Even though I yell at her, my heart aches. Why can I feel her pain? This never happens when I am with someone else'

He sighed and walked to the vending machine at the end of the hallway.

He bought some water and cold drinks.

'What will she drink?'., Das thought as he glanced around.

"I will buy some cold coffee and tea"

He bought some cold coffee and tea and sighed as he thought, 'I should stop being harsh to her. I keep making her cry'

He made his way to the classroom, thinking, 'Mom was also acting strange when I mentioned Elena's name to her'

Das opened the door and saw Elena wasn't in the room.

"Is she playing some kind of trick again?"

'Where did she go? Her bag is still here'

Das glanced around the door and said, "You better come out"

Nothing happened.

He then walked to the open window and looked out.

'I thought she might have jumped down'

"Glad she didn't"

He stood in the middle of the room as he glanced one more time and said, "If you come out within the count of three, I won't yell at you and let you go. And if you don't, then you better be ready to face the consequences"

"One"

He glanced at the door.

"Two"

"One last chance"

"Thr--" He stopped and said, "You will regret if you don't come out"

There was nothing but silence in the room.

"Three"

Das gritted his teeth as he clenched his fist and kicked the empty desk.

The desk rolled a couple of times before hitting the wall, and it broke as soon as it hit the wall.

"Dammit! Where did she go?!"

Das was so angry that if Elena came out now, he would probably slap her.

"Dammit!"

'Where did she run off?!'

He walked out of the room in anger, hoping she would be hiding outside the room.

'Is it because I yelled at her and made her cry?'

Das walked to the end of the hallway, thinking she might be hiding there. But to his wonder, no one was there.

"Did she go to the bathroom?"

'But it's the same way as the vending machine. If she had come out, I would have seen her'

Annoyed, Das went inside the classroom and impatiently waited for Elena to come back.

'Her stuff is here, so she has to come back'

Das noticed her phone was also lying on the table.

"Weird. She is not the type of girl who would leave her phone like this"

'Did something happen?'

"Dammit! Why am I worried about her?"

'I don't care what happens to her. In fact, I would be happy if she never comes back"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Just after Das left the room,

Elena was crying alone in the room, trying to wipe her tears.

"What is this? Why is this happening? Everything was going so well. Where did I go wrong? What did I do to make him angry? Why does he talk with me like that? Why does he glare at me like that?"

She wiped her tears and said, "I used to like that glare, but… I don't like it anymore. I want him to look at me with kind eyes. I want him to talk with me in a calm voice"

"I don't want this. I hate this"

'You better stop crying before I come back', Elena remembered what Das had told her before he left the room.

After around a minute, Elena finally calmed down and stopped crying.

She then took a deep breath and said, "I will try my best"

She took some more breaths to calm herself down.

Suddenly, the door opened, and she immediately moved her face towards the door.

She was expecting it to be Das, but it was…

"Yumi… Virza… and others"

Elena gulped down and said, "Hello. You haven't gone home yet?"

Yumi and the other three girls enter the room, but Virza stood outside the room.

They then grabbed Elena's hand and said, "Come with us"

"Wha-wait! Das will be coming back soon. I have--"

Elena fell down, but Yumi and the other girls kept dragging her.

"What are you doing! Where are you taking me---"

One of the girls stuffed a napkin in Elena's mouth.

They carried Elena and took her away.

Virza was still standing at the doorstep.

Yumi came back alone and said, "What are you standing here for?"

"...", she said nothing.

"Don't you want to take revenge on her for stealing your love?"

Virza bit her lips and followed Yumi.

Meanwhile, the three girls who were carrying Elena threw her down from the window of the stairway of the first floor behind the school.

When Virza reached behind the school, Elena had already collapsed on the ground and the napkin was lying beside her face.

"What happened to her?", questioned Virza.

Yumi shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have no idea. I was with you the whole time"

Virza rushed to Elena and tried to wake her up.

"Elena"

She shook Elena, but she didn't wake up.

"Heh!"

Virza looked up from where the voice came from, and saw the three girls peeking out of the window.

"Hu...h?"

Virza's entire body started trembling as she slowly looked down at Elena.

"Don't tell me…"

A tear rolled down from Elena's eyes.

Virza moved her hand to Elena's face and touched it.

'She was crying'

She turned Elena over and shook her.

"Elena?"

"She won't wake up like this"

Virza looked back to see Yumi rushing towards her with a bucket filled with water.

"What are you--"

Yumi emptied the entire bucket on Elena.

Elena's body started to tremble as she opened her eyes.

"Elena! Are you okay?! I will call the ambulance--"

Yumi grabbed Virza's hair and pulled her back.

Elena glanced around and saw Virza getting pulled by Yumi with her hair.

Elena quickly rushed over to Virza, or she wanted to, but as soon as she took a step forward, she fell down.

Her legs were fractured.

Virza kicked Yumi and freed herself from Yumi's grip.

"I never asked you to do such a horrible thing to her"

"You… bitch!"

Yumi tried to punch Virza, but she dodged and kicked Yumi in the back.

The other three girls came down in the meantime and backed up Yumi.

Virza glanced back at Elena, whose mouth was bleeding.

She didn't know if that injury was from before, or because of her fall earlier.

She rushed to Elena and said, "Are you okay?"

Elena couldn't stand up, and Virza helped her stand up.

"Are you okay?", she asked again.

Elena was trying her best not to cry. But her eyes were teary, as if they could explode at any moment.

Looking at Elena's face, Virza hugged her tightly and said, "I am sorry"

Elena didn't say anything and just held it, Virza.

Yumi moved her hand to her pocket and took out a key chain that had a small knife in it.

She stabbed it on Virza's back as she said, "How dare you kick me bitch!"

Virza let go of Elena as she tried to take out the knife from her back.

Elena tried to hold Virza, but Yumi kicked her, and Elena got slammed into the wall.

Yumi and the other three girls surrounded Elena as Yumi said, "Let us take care of you, s.l.u.t"
