Chapter 18:

[6.0] This Classroom is 'kinda' Dull Without Them: They're Separated

Blooming Kinda Late


The new semester rolled out, and everybody's back to school. When a new semester rolls around, students have to switch classrooms.

The crowd of students was clamorous, and it was the loudest morning you could imagine.
"I wonder what classmate we will have this semester."
"Hey, did you hear? ____ will be in the same class with us again this year!"
"Really? That's awesome!"
"Hey! Stop pushing around, someone is standing here!"
"Where's my name? Can anybody see my name?"

From the loud crowd, one voice stood out.
"YU AND MEI IN A DIFFERENT CLASS?"

Everyone looked at the one who screamed. It was Kate.

"Couldn't you just say it in a lower voice?" Asked Adit.
"Yeah. Now we're in the spotlight. Everyone is looking at us", Kail stated.
"Feels really odd. I never have many people looking at me like this", Bahmul said.
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad", Kate said.

The group was talking, while Yu and Mei were shocked. They looked at each other. They slowly grabbed each other's hands and smiled.

"Mei..."
"Yu..."

Kate happened to see this exchange and marched toward them.

"As a couple... I know you can make it, Mei. Yu."

Yu and Mei looked overwhelmed at Kate. They didn't know what was to come.

"... You know what? Let's look at the bright side. It's just one room different. We can still meet up with each other during the break, and it will feel like nothing", Yu convinced Mei while looking at her with passion. He still felt really anxious. It was their first time in a different class after all.

Mei smiled faintly. She was fidgeting.

"... It feels weird that we are suddenly in a different class. I'm going to feel lonely, even though..."

Yu hugged her from the side, "I understand. That's why we need to be strong. It's not that far, you know?"

Mei looked at Yu's face, and a second later, Yu pinched Mei's nose jokingly. Mei giggled, and Yu smiled happily.

"Uwaaa, the aura around feels hotter", Kate said, "We need to move on! Come on, boys."

Kate grabbed Kail and Bahmul by the shoulder. Then she embraced Adit.

"Let's go! We have to find James and Nanda anyway, right?"

The three were stuttering, "Ri... right. Yeah."

...

"You sure about this? It feels... like a crime", Grace said.
"She said so, we follow", Riko said.

It was lunch break. Astrid was not with the others. They didn't know where she was. They went on ahead with what Astrid asked them to do.

"I gotta be honest, Rik. You are very obedient for someone who is Kate's close friend", Flo said.

She didn't answer.

"I have some respect, but I also need to know why, you know?" Flo continued.

The pressure was on, but Riko was still not answering.

"True! I'm curious too", Grace responded, "I thought for sure you wanted to cut ties with us."

Riko ignored them and said, "I'm done with the hack. We can access the principal's fast connection Wifi. We're just waiting for Astrid to get to the spot."

Flo and Grace weren't satisfied with how Rikop treated them.

Riko, "You two know where Astrid went?"
Grace, "She said she had to go somewhere else first."
Flo, "I was suspicious and tried to warn her, but alas, she still wanted to go."
Riko, "A fan crushing on her? In our school? I thought she said she doesn't like the looks of the males of this school."

Riko was ready to leave and went to search for Astrid, but Grace and Flo stopped her by each shoulder.

"Hey, you haven't answered us", Flo said.
"Yeah. Why are you ignoring us?" Grace said.

When Riko was about to answer, a loud noise was heard. It was Astrid.

"PUT ME DOWN, YOU BASTARD. UUUGH, HOW CAN YOU IMMOBILIZE MY FUCKING LIMB IS BEYOND ME."

The three looked at the wild view and put on surprised faces. James was carrying Atrid like a princess, while Nanda, on his side, was just smiling ear to ear.

"WHY ARE YOU JUST WATCHING?! HELP ME!" She screamed at her friends. She didn't face her friends for more than a millisecond. She just saw them and looked at James' chest.

Riko approached James and said, "What happened?"

James smiled, and Nanda answered, "Our problems. You do you. We have an unfinished problem with her."

Riko couldn't act. This was her first time in this situation. She was flabbergasted by the scene and froze for a good three seconds.

James continued Nanda's statement, "Excuse me, ladies. Your queen requires care right now. I'm going to make sure she is in proper care." He looked at Astrid, and Astrid made contact, "You wouldn't want anything to happen to her, right?"

Astrid's mouth opened wide after hearing what James was saying. She saw him shining and made her 

"YOU IMBECILE! YOU NUMBSKULL! YOU PLAYBOY BITCH! STOP WITH YOUR SHINING ASS FACE! IT'S ANNOYING!"

James and Nanda kept walking, while the three stared at them, and didn't know what to do.

Grace, "Did we just..."
Flo, "... witness a K-Drama in action?"
Riko, "You two weren't far off."

...

"How was your pinch so brutal? I'm still can't move anything!" Astrid said in the Infirmary bed.

"Might have put a little power into that pinch. Sorry", James said.

"I don't want your apologies. I want life back", Astrid said with a heated head, "Unimmobilized me, you sick playboy."

Nanda steamed off her frustration, "GOD, this bitch can't just shut her mouth. James, can you immobilize her mouth? It's getting on my nerves."

"Excuse me! Bitch, you have changed into his love slave! You're the one to say."
"James. Please, just shut her mouth..."
"I'M TALKING TO YOU, YOU WHORE! DON'T ACK LIKE I'M NOT HERE."
"James, where is Mrs. Hanna, anyway? Or Mr. Harold?"
"STOP IGNORING ME!"
"James, where is the drug that makes patients asleep?"
"IF ONLY I CAN USE MY LIMBS RIGHT NOW, YOU'D BE DEAD BY NOW, NANDA! YOU HEAR ME!"

The conversation kept on going, all James could think of was, "I didn't sign up for this. I only want Astrid to value her life more."
