Chapter 4 - Heroine

While we run, I let go of her hand and come to a sudden stop.

- Can you tell me who you are for crying out loud?!

- Fine, I'll tell you.

Her eyes lit up and she said proudly with a wide toothy smile.

- I'm Ren from class 9B, nice to meet you!

Before I could say anything, she took my hand once more and started taking off with me. Once we hit school grounds, she forced me to follow her around the school. She was looking for something she said. Finally, she barged into class 9A. Luckily their class hadn't begun although something else was about to come to a terrifying start. Ren's eyes focused on the seat furthest back in the classroom. To my horror, I saw Nova looking slightly annoyed at Ren as they meet each others gaze.

- I always knew you a two-face bitch, but I never thought you'd stoop so low as to bullying an underclass man!

What in the hell was she doing? I thought. This isn't going to solve anything. 

- Oh yeah? Baseless accusations. Isn't that the same guy who was sexually harassing me the other day? Who's bullying who here?

She said, still carrying that annoyed expression. I clench my teeth, feeling the anger build up from hearing the filthy lies coming out that girl's mouth.

- Harassing?! Hahahahhaha!

Ren bursted out laughing then drew her phone out of her pocket.

- You mean this?

It was a video of me and Nova back at the train station from last Friday. It showed her kissing my cheek and you could even hear her say "This'll be our little secret" out loud for everyone to hear.

For the first time ever, I got to witness Nova look completely dumbfounded. She was always so calm and collected in all her pretty glory. All the students sitting in the classroom started gasping, they knew what this meant. Nova lied about everything.

- Are we done here? If so, you can leave!

Nova said enraged

- Oh… Nova dear that's not all. I want you to apologise in front of everyone here or this is going straight to Kai's inbox, tihi!

I could see veins almost starting to pop out of Nova's forehead as she stood up and walked towards me.

- I apologise.

She said in the most monotone voice she could muster.

- Nope, apology not accepted. Say it like you mean it.

Ren said while crossing her arms. You could see the frustration but also desperation building in Nova's expression.

- I'm sorry for completely lying about what happened, I hope you'll forgive me.

- Aaand?

Ren quickly added.

- And I'm sorry I got my boyfriend to put his hands on you for something you didn't do! There, happy now?

Nova started crying and ran out of the classroom.
