Chapter 8

  • “Hey, come back!” Zeke calls Belle.
  • He’s been on her back since she came out of the house.
  • But the girl is so immersed in the sounds in her headset that she didn't even look back when Zeke turned a few calls.
  • He ran quickly to pursue the girl, ignoring some students who called his name.
  • Meanwhile, Belle was stopped from entering her classroom by Carl.
  • “Nerd! You think you can get away from me because someone helped you at the welcome party!”
  • Belle winced as Carl tightened his grip on her arm and dragged her against the wall.
  • “Ouch! Carl, stop! You are hurting me! I don’t know what your problem is!” Belle tries to reason, but Carl gets even angrier.
  • "Did you know I had to pay everyone who had a copy of my video that night just to get rid of the embarrassment I endured with that man?"
  • “I don’t know what you’re saying! And why do you blame me? You did exactly what I did!" Belle responded with her head bowed.
  • “Wow, you know how to respond now! Huh! Why? You’re so peerless, maybe because of that man?!” Carl asked, annoyed as he pointed at Belle’s shoulder repeatedly.
  • As they watched Carl, the students formed a circle.
  • That's why Belle lowered her head even further, unaware of the students' reactions.
  • "Or are you conceited because of your father?! Don’t you know it’s all over town— that your mother abandoned your father because she was ashamed of him?" Carl yelled so that the students could hear what he was saying more clearly.
  • Belle's chest throbbed with rage right away. Carl was used to insulting her, but this was the first time he attacked her father.
  • “Leave my father and mother alone!” Belle replied emphatically and closed her eyes.
  • “Why? Is it painful to know the truth? Perhaps your mother went with another man, which is why she suddenly disappeared!" Carl teasing added.
  • Belle's heart was pounding quickly as a result of her rage. To stop herself, she clenched her fist. She attempted to run away to avoid further chaos, but Carl grabbed her arm and pushed her back against the wall.
  • “You are being rude! You see- I’m not done talking here. Where did I stop?- Ah ... your mother, right ... So, the thing is ... this nerd’s mother is a waitress at the club!” Carl announced.
  • Carl's accusation against Belle's mother is shocking, and everyone watching can't believe it.
  • “You bastard, stop lying! Don’t make up a story about my mother!” Belle whispered while having difficulty breathing due to anger. She closed her eyes, attempting to calm herself, but crashing.
  • “Shh ... Don't be too loud! The nerd is saying something! What exactly did you say?" Carl teased as he put his ear to Belle's mouth.
  • "I told you not to make fun of my mother!"
  • In the following scene, everyone is shocked... They see Carl flying because of Belle's incredible push, which even Belle cannot believe.
  • Because of the unexpected event, Belle rushed out of the building to avoid the students' loud whispers.
  • Meanwhile, Carl, who was still unable to stand due to the pain of a fall, was quickly assisted by the basketball team.
  • “Damn you bitch! You'll pay for it!" Carl yelled, unable to paint his face.
  • "Get him to the the clinic as soon as possible!"”
  • “Damn you bitch! You will pay for this!” Carl screamed while unable to paint his face.
  • “Quick, take him into the infirmary!”
  • “F*CK! I don’t need to go to the infirmary!” Carl stood up and yelled. Despite his pain, he continued to walk and did not seek help.
  • "Get out of my way!"" Carl yelled at the person in front of him, but he still didn't leave, so he looked at him and said, "I said move!”
  • Carl's heart swelled with rage as he saw the man who had caused his rage smile at him.
  • "It appears that this school is full of active students," Zeke says before pulling over to let Carl pass.
  • “Hey, what’s all that trouble? The class is about to start! Go to your classroom, now!”
  • The students immediately dispersed. Zeke was on his way to class when the teacher called him.
  • “Your Zeke Hunters? Come with me first,” the dean said.
  • Zeke went into the office with the teacher.
  • “Please sit down. Mr. Hunters, I'll be honest with you: I saw your information and discovered that you were a varsity athlete at your previous school. That is why I want you to be a part of the team."
  • "Sir, I am honored, but I doubt I will stay at this University for long." he paused. “As you can see, we don't stick around for long," Zeke replied.
  • “Yeah, I also see that. But I still want to take a chance on you. I want the championship for this year before I resign as a dean of this University,”
  • Zeke takes a deep breath while thinking... Before he finally agreed.
  • (It’s better to be busy while I’m here in town,) Zeke thought to himself as he entered the classroom, the dean by his side.
  • “Prof. Villa, He is your new transfer student and the new varsity basketball player," the dean said before leaving the school, tapping Zeke on the shoulder.
  • "So, your Zeke Hunters—the Dean only gave you good phrases, so I'm curious how good you are," Prof. Villa smiled.
  • “Coach, you didn’t tell the team we were going to have a new member?!”
  • “That’s right; it’s unfair if he doesn’t go through a tryout!”
  • "As the basketball team's captain, I believe I have a say in this matter, right coach?"” Reid states as he looks at Zeke from head to toe.
  • "Perhaps you'd be willing to go through the team's regular tryout, Mr. Zeke Hunters," Prof. Villa agreed to the team's suggestion.
  • "That's no problem, Coach. But don't expect much from me because I haven't played in a long time," Zeke says. He took a seat at the far end of the room, alone.
  • He sat for a long time, but the entire team was still staring at Zeke, so he smiled and motioned to the front to look there.
