My heart was pounding when I saw Mario's name on my phone screen. He must have investigated, Steve; maybe he has found the answer.Am I ready to find out who did it?"Hello?" I greeted him after picking up the call from Mario."It wasn't Steve who did it," said Mario matter-of-factly."What?" I screamed in shock.Well, I'm glad Steve didn't do it, but that means someone else has bad intentions for me or my family."We've investigated very carefully. We even intercepted the number Steve was using. There was no suspicious activity. And when we checked the CCTVs in your house and where Steve was, it was not Steve." Mario explained."What if he asks someone else to do it? He did it before; he paid people to do it!" I said it quickly."Not a single message that planned the terror was detected coming out of Steve's house; even if he uses another cell phone, we will be able to read the message if it comes out of Steve's house. So, we conclude that Steve is clean. Do you have any other enemie
I held the car door when Kenan was about to open it."Why?" Kenan asked, confused."Look, there's Daddy over there! Don't come out too; they'll be found out if you come here!" I screamed in panic.Kenan followed my gaze while nodding slowly."Shouldn't I go down and ask your dad for permission if I want to date you?" Kenan asked innocently.Oh no! He is not innocent, but stupid! If he did that, Dad would blacklist him."Kenan, you know that Daddy is very sensitive, right? Don't show yourself in front of him, or he will be very angry!" I warned Kenan.Annoyed, Kenan complied and let me down first.I asked Kenan to find another hotel to stay at. If he stays in the same hotel as us, Dad will find out about it, and he'll be mad. It couldn't be called a coincidence; Dad wouldn't believe it.I ran to my dad, who was waiting for me."I think you're lost!" Dad exclaimed, pinching my nose.I just flashed an innocent smile at him and followed his steps into the hotel."The police have found the
"Why are you silent? Please say that it is not true!" Dad snapped.I can't say anything. I've been desperately hiding from him all this time; why should he be found out now?"Look at this!"Dad threw out my pictures of being bullied by the Aster Gang back then."Who gave it to you?" I asked slowly."Does it matter? Now, what's important is your honesty! Is it true that you were the victim of bullying at your school? I'm going to see your principal tomorrow! It doesn't matter whose child she is—even the president—if she dares to harm my daughter, I will give her no mercy!" cried Dad with fists clenched.I took a deep breath.I hugged my dad very tightly. I can feel his heart beating so fast. He must be furious."I can get through it, Dad," I whispered.I let go of his arms and asked him to sit in the living room so we could chat more quietly."Tell everything to me!" asked Dad."I've ever been a victim of bullying. I've tried asking friends, acquaintances, and even teachers for help. N
I just waited in the waiting room while Dad was having discussions with the police, who were now handling his report.When I overheard, the police were willing to accompany my dad to school to fight for justice for me.He is the best father ever.After all the files were ready, my father and entourage headed to my school, and I could only follow them.Arriving at school, I smiled with relief to see Kenan and several of his classmates waiting for me near the teachers' room."What are you doing?" I asked slowly.I saw Daddy and a troop of police enter the staff room."We are waiting for you; I gathered several children to testify," Kenan said quietly.I smiled and nodded. We hope that what we are doing will bear fruit.I also took a deep breath before finally entering the room with Kenan and several other friends."What did you kids come in here for?" snapped Mrs. Merry."We are willing to testify if needed!" cried Kenan very bravely."We don't need you guys in this discussion, so off y
"Kei, do you know? There were rumors that Lenny threatened her victims to shut up; otherwise, they would be tortured even more cruelly, and their families would be humiliated!" whispered Tiana while we were paying attention to the arrival of the police team who would conduct an investigation."Where did you hear that?" I whispered too."Our juniors!" whispered Tiana.Previously, I took a deep breath. This is so bad. Previously Via told me that all students were threatened by the school to keep their mouths shut; now the victims are being threatened by the Aster Gang. This is truly outrageous.Also, where is Kenan? He couldn't be reached, and I couldn't find him anywhere.Didn't he say he would accompany me?"What about you? Are you going to say it or not?" I asked while glancing at Tiana."I once made the mistake of leaving you alone against the Aster Gang; this time I won't do the same thing. Even if I have to be expelled from this school, I will tell them everything," Tiana said qui
This morning, I sat at the dinner table with Dad. The aroma of warm coffee from my cup wafted out until it smelled so good on my nose.Dad looked at me with concern and said, "Kei, why do you look a bit different this morning? Usually, you are always excited to go to school."I smiled faintly, trying to hide the indecisive feelings that I'd been feeling since yesterday afternoon."Ah, it's normal, Dad. Maybe I'm just a little less excited today," I answered briefly while continuing my breakfast activities."Is there something bothering you at your school to keep you from getting excited?" asked Dad to make sure."Nothing, Dad. This is just me, who is too lazy to go to school. But because today there is a physics subject test, I have to go to school," I answered, which was an obvious lie to cover up the real situation.Dad nodded in understanding. He can always read my feelings, even though I try to hide them. Maybe because he has been raising me, he is sensitive enough to whatever hap
Tonight, I feel very bored. I have nothing to do but play on my phone.I heard the sound of my doorbell ringing, but I ignored it because there happened to be my dad, who was reading and watching television in the living room, which is located adjacent to the living room.While dad, who was in the television room, stood up immediately when he heard the sound of the doorbell ringing,He opened the door and saw my three friends, Clarisa, Via, and Tiana, who were standing at my doorstep. Ah, what do the girls want?"Good night. Is Kei home, Sir?" asked Via politely but quite enthusiastically."Please come in; I'll call her for a moment!"I went down the stairs before Dad headed to my room. When he saw me, he just took a deep breath and signaled to me that the girls were in the living room."What's up?" I asked while sitting beside Tiana."Join us!" said Clarisa with a meaningful look.What is that?"We're going to a nightclub!" Clarisa whispered."What? Night club? But we're still undera
Several days have passed since the incident at the nightclub, but the atmosphere between Kenan and I still hasn't improved.Our relationship was bland and full of silence. Kenan seemed indifferent to me, rarely spoke to me, and rarely smiled like he used to. Now it's my turn to feel sad about this change, but I don't know how to fix our relationship.“Announcement guys. I have a birthday," said Clarisa, who was now standing on the table in front of mine.“The party must be great!”"Are we invited?""Must be a lot of handsome boys at Clarisa's birthday party."I smiled seeing Clarisa's behavior and the words of some of my classmates.“This one is a special invitation for my best friend Kei!” Suddenly Clarisa came down from the table and approached me."Thanks,” I said while hugging Clarisa.There's something that makes me frown a little. It turns out that Clarisa also invited Kenan. I feel mixed, between happy and worried. Happy that this could be a chance to celebrate together and men
