As usual Lydia Marks woke up early in the morning, washed her face, brushed her teeth, wore her school uniform and headed out toward her school, 'M' High.
'Today, Today is the day.'
She thought while walking and remembering the figure of the young man who saved her, and how his haughty and fearless aura changed into a fearful and a cowardice aura, and unbelievably just by changing his hairdo and wearing a thick black glasses, it was hard to believe such a thing was possible.
*
During the first and second period, and unlike her, she was out of focus. because she was busy observing the "bullied" young man Tomas Hopes. And what she realized was that he is a quite normal and shy kid, too normal that she even doubted her own memories of yesterday.
And during the second period break she braced herself and approched Tomas.
"Hi! you are Tomas Hopes, right?"
The whole class turned toward them as She said while smiling brightly.
"U-Um, Y-Yeah I-I'm T-T-Tomas Hopes!"
He said while stuttering, she was shocked and thought: 'is he really Panther!'
"I know this is a weird question, but are you perhaps nicknamed 'Panther?'
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
When the three bullies heard her question, they were terrified because they thought that Panther will blame them for blowing his cover and glanced at him saying 'it wasn't us!' with their eyes. but Tomas just ignored their terrified gazes and said with a weak voice while stuttering.
"N-No, I-I'm not."
'Of course you are!' refuted Lydia in her mind, because at this close distance his scars were clearly visible.
She made her mind.
She outstretched her hand and grabbed his hand while ignoring his and the rest of the class shocked voices and dragged him to the roof, even with the great deference in strength it was easy; he let her drag him.
"You really are Panther!! Why are you lying!!"
She yelled frustrated due to his lies.
"HaHaHaHaHaHa!!"
He started laughing loudly while straightening his back, taking off his glasses and pulling his head backward with his right hand. his weak atmosphere disappeared.
"Oh! Good Job finding me, I guess calling that old man was a mistake... now those f*ckers while annoy me with questions, like: ''How do you know Lydia?' and the like... you f*cked up my quite school life now, congratulations!"
He congratulated her(?) with a terrifying grin on his face.
"Wha...!"
She tried to ask 'What do you mean?', but he interrupted her with a childish attitude.
"What! What! What!... you know, f*ck you you annoying b*tch, if you come near me again i'll do what those guys tried to do... i mean you are super hot after all. Ah! don't forget to tell your friends that you got the wrong person."
She was speechless for a second, because no one talked to her like that, ever. and soon afterwards she said to him, who is walking toward the exit.
"You can't, because you are not a bad guy!"
He froze where he stood for a second, and said with a lonely and sad expression (that she couldn't see) and a heavy voice.
"I am. don't judge a person you know nothing about."
And he left, Lydia stood there alone.
"But, you aren't."
she said with a weak voice.
Unbeknownst to her there was another person there, someone very close to Lydia was hiding near the exit, and that person was advised by Tomas too.
"You too forget what you heard and saw just now."
He said to that mysterious person, to her. and she felt chills ran through her back because of his cold glare.
