My Triling System

32 Chapter 32: Two Hours

“Give me back the ring, I bought it at a very high price,” Bryce said, stretching his hands at Kevin from where he was laying on the ground.

“Where did you buy this ring?” Kevin asked, staring at the T mark that was inscribed on the ring.

“Why? Are you also going to collect it from me like that Peter boy tried to? I bet you would be paralyzed if you try it on your hands. Let me save you from the pain, give the ring back, it’s meant only for me.”

“Are you saying the truth?”

“Yeah, the Peter boy is in room 202, you can go and ask him. He stole the ring and tried to put it on. Hell, he stood still like a frozen statue, he wasn’t able to move until I removed the ring from his hands. Maybe you might burn up with a fire if you try it on, ahahah.”

“I’ll soon find out,” Kevin replied as he took the Creditor that was beside Bryce and transferred all the amounts into his Access Card.

[Transfer of 200 credits successful]

The Creditor announced and Kevin instantly smiled to himself.

“Hey, you took all my credits for this month, how do you expect me to survive? Who the hell do you think you are?” Bryce shouted as he tried to lift himself from the ground but he was so weak to do so.

.....

“What the hell is wrong with me, it’s been a long time since I felt this way. Is it because I don’t have the ring anymore,” he complained as he attempted to lift himself off the ground but couldn’t.

“Take care, I’ll be leaving now. Don’t you dare try to fight me next time, I might kill you?” Kevin threatened and then flashed a smile back at him. “Don’t worry, your friends will come and carry you, if you can’t stand up.”

Kevin immediately started walking back to where Bryce’s friend was. Lexa had also made her way back so Kevin won’t suspect her spying on him.

But she saw him look in her direction before finally walking out of the bush.

‘ Did he see me?’ Lexa panicked as she immediately rushed out of her hiding.

“Hey! who do you think you are!” Bryce kept on cursing at Kevin.

Kevin approached Bryce’s friends and he flashed a smile at all two of them. But he saw that they weren’t smiling and had this fierce look on them.

“Where is Bryce?” they asked

“He’s still in the bush. He said he wanted to be alone and you guys should come two hours later.”

“Two hours??!” They all exclaimed.

“Yeah, I guess he felt so sad after realizing all the bad things he did in the past. You guys should give him some time. He needs to clear off his mind.” Kevin said and then left. The students thought Kevin was saying the truth, so they decided to wait for him for the next two hours which will be 8:15 at night.

Kevin smiled to himself as he walked towards the garden. But then he recalled that he left Lexa standing without telling her anything. He looked up front but couldn’t see her. He then decided to check the garden perhaps she might be reading the comic book she got from the library while waiting for him. But unfortunately, he didn’t see her there either.

“Since she’s not here, I guess she must have left for the dorm room. it’s getting late anyway. I should go have dinner.” Kevin said as he walked towards the little line of the queue that was forming in front of the canteen.

“Shit, I can’t believe my dress got torn by this stupid big-for-nothing tree. Arh! Why did I climb the tree just to see Kevin beat up that bully when I thought he was gay? I’m such an idiot.” Lexa slapped herself a few times as she walked slowly toward the garden.

As she got to the garden, she looked around but couldn’t see any trace of Kevin anywhere.

“Now he’s gone. I’m such a loser!” Lexa almost burst into tears.

‘ Huh? perhaps he found out that I spied on him and had left for the dorm room with anger. Did he get angry because I saw him fight? He must be upset seeing that I saw him displaying his martial skills. Hey! What’s wrong with me, I bet he didn’t even see me spy on me, why am I jumping to conclusions? Why does my heart skip a beat every time I see him? No, I’ll just go to the room silently. If he happens to challenge me for spying on him, then I’ll explain everything to him and apologize. I guess I’ll be losing him like I lost the others. Gosh, this is so painful.’ Lexa said.

Finally, she got to her dorm room, but she saw that only Dan was in the room. Xin and Dan’s siblings were absent

“Hey, where have you been since morning?” Dan asked.

“Don’t talk to me, you almost embarrassed me back in the canteen now you’re trying to settle things out.”

“Lexa, I didn’t mean to. The word just slipped out of my mouth mistakenly, I have no intention of revealing to everyone who your father was. You told me that you didn’t want anyone to know till you finish academy, so I’ll keep that in mind, it’s a promise.”

“Whatever. I’m more worried about the problem I’m facing right now.”

“Problem? what problem, who caused you the problem?”

“Have you seen Kevin?” Lexa asked.

“No, I haven’t seen him since when the two of you disappeared from the canteen. Where did you go to.”

“Oh my, now Kevin is angry with me.” Lexa whimpered.

“What do you mean, what happened between you guys.”

“Some bullies approached I and Kevin on our way to the school garden, they took our credits... but,”

“What’s the name of the bully?!” Dan inquired.

“Bryce, I think,” Lexa replied but before she could say any more, Dan had rushed out of the room. “What’s wrong with you Dan, listen to what I have to say, Hey!”
