Dilemma!
There was real tension building up around. Ryley turned around, darting him with looks that gave prior warning; he was not in the mood to talk to them at all. Not at least after seeing what they did the previous day with Valen, keeping him unaware of their revenge plan.
The two stood staring at each other under the silence of their perilous patience. One could see how badly they suppressed their urge to just march toward each other and give rise to a fight that nobody has ever seen and bring about a gap in their friendship! "Guys, what is going on with you two?" Their pupils were distracted to the door where they saw Hazel standing with curious expressions.
Instantly, it led to the eradication of their intense urge to thrash one another, and they looked away. She marched surprisingly toward them while her eyes focused on the crowd around. Why would everyone look so scared? Did something happen that she missed, or something that she knew but failed to notice?
So many questions, having thought with the urgency to have them answered as Hazel smilingly stood beside Ryley, she realized—he walked past her without paying any heed to her! She blinked her eyes in dismay as Ryley quickly walked out the exit, leaving them all puzzled.
"What was it?" The crowd of students had long reduced. The first lecture was going on, and so the canteen happened to be empty with only the canteen staff left with the bully gang's two most disturbing members, Zander and Hazel. Hazel bit her lips nervously, reading her friend's facial features. "I know before I landed between you two, you guys were certainly arguing or going to do even worse! Now tell me, Zander, what was that."
Her back-to-back set of interrogations made him shriek in annoyance. She very well saw they were definitely doing something that was not good then why, for fucking earth's sake, did she have to ask that again? Anyway, Zander lowered his face, regretting his mind that was unnecessarily cursing her, who was just trying to understand what was wrong with the two best friends of their school. They, who have set a benchmark in the school.
Zander reached for a glass of water, looking at the table. He guided his arm to get hold of the glass and gulped down a few sips in a jiffy. "I was just helping him get the work done, but he just ended up humiliating me!" He really did not say what work he was talking about since it was obvious, it could be more or equal to bullying and disturbing the scared students of the school.
