The next thing a thick arm that smelled of cigarettes was draped over his shoulder and a deep scrachy voice that made the inside his insides crawl reached his ears.
"So you do have the guts to come back?"
Shen Yu tensed up. He subconsciously moved to withdraw but the arm on his shoulder firmly held him in place.
His hand still holding the paper bag tighten as he watched the four people that surrounded him.
They were all tall, at least beating his height by several more inches. The leader, He Qiao was big and burly, looking out of place in the high school environment. His hair was always clearly past the length limit but since he always seem to have a knack for dodging iton-fist who is the only person that can challenge him in the whole school, he has continued to roam around like that.
Fulfilling the title as the school's top delinquent.
Shen Yu had gotten involved with He Qiao and his group of minions during middle school.
Something had happened in class and one of his friends was caught using a piece of paper during an exam. Shen Yu who was right beside him was called to testify answered truthfully.
This particular person already had a lot of red records so he was immediately expelled from the school.
Since then his unsocial life took an even drastic turn and he was bullied by the group everytime they meet.
But isn't this too much! There was this unknown annoyance ever since he returned from the pathway. Irritation gnawed at his insides.
"Yo...we heard something interesting. Why don't tell us more about it?" Liao Bo shook him back and forth roughly and the choking smell. His voice echoed in the small classroom. "To think you could jump off a bridge...it is really the quiet ones isn't it?"
They were drawing a lot of attention and soft whispers was starting to spread in the class. Still nobody moved to help. Like it was am everyday occurrence.
"You think you can escape?" He Qiao had a natural frowning face, with thick bushy eyebrows. His big hands wrapped around the collar of his uniform, and Shen Yu felt a restriction around his neck. "Running. What a coward." He spat.
The vein at the side of his temple bulged.
"What do we have here?" The other two turned his bag upside down. Shen Yu saw the content spill on the floor from the corner of his eyes and his expression change.
When did I bring that along? Oh no...
"What is this....."
I can't let them take it. There was a 100 percent chance that this group of bullies will smatch it or just take it away. It wasn't the first time something like this was happening.
Shen Yu moved without thinking, shouting. "Let go." He elbowed Liao Bo's arm, the sudden attack made the fatty stumble backward. Shen Yu slapped the hand about to touch the small box with intricate patterns lying on the floor.
He then picked it up and hugged it to his chest.
"This bastard...looks like you really want to die!" He Qiao balled his hand into a fist and Shen Yu steeled himself for the hit.
"Teacher Zhang is coming!" A shrill voice interrupted the outbreaking fight. It was the class monitor Tang Mo.
Desks and chairs scraped on the ground at the same thing. He Qiao and his group of little brother sent him a harsh glare before retreating to their area at the back of the class.
He Qiao gave his chair a harsh kick as he walked by, sending it stumbling over. "See you after school suicidal freak."
Everyone turned to kind their business, leaving him to the mess of books and stationery on the floor.
Shen Yu quickly bent down to pick them up. Quickly shoving them into his bag.
At least they didn't step on it this time.
He handled the small box carefully, placing it into the pocket of his uniform pant. He regretted why he brought it along.
It will be bad if Hua Lian pops out all of a sudden. He thought. The whole school would definitely fall into chaos.
After he finished, he quietly set the chair right, and sat down.
His eyes drifted up and met Tang Mo, who was still standing at the door looking at him.
The class monitor had a tall and slim appearance, but not lanky. His hair was cut neatly in a silver glasses perched on his nose. As one of the school's top student he was constantly used as a role model to the other. Calm, well mannered and very intelligent.
Shen Yu wasn't bad himself, staying in the top ten.
He looked away.
It showed that the homeroom teacher wasn't close as it looks about three minutes before she entered the class.
Her eyes did a brief sweep around until it landed on Shen Yu then she started to call the register.
