The Knights - Chapter #6 - Free To Read

All my worries and doubts vanished when someone kicked him straight in the face. It’s Caliber.

The man stood up and rushed at me, I was not paying attention so I did not see his attack. But I'm just thankful that Caliber caught the man's fist and grabbed his foot. I groaned heavily before laughing when the man fell on his buttocks. Strike 1!

Caliber knelt down, unsatisfied. He pulled the man's hair and pushed it to the floor. He even punched his bleeding nose.

"I knew it! They’re following you and they’re going to come at you, let's go." I frowned when Caliber pulled me over, I thought I would be able to watch a nice show. Live boxing and wrestling is really fun.

We got home quickly, I sat on the sofa and he sat down as well. I looked at Caliber who’s now massaging his nape. It looks like he’s carrying the whole world’s problem with his expression right now.

"I told you Eerrah! They're following you so they’ll have a freaking chance to kill you! If you come with me earlier and follow us, your life will be easier." I looked away.

"No. Thank you for saving me a while ago, Caliber. But you can't change my mind," I finally said.

"Damn! You're crazy! Just come with me! Please!" he begged me. I sighed before shaking my head as an answer.

"I won’t come with you." I stood up from the sofa and walked away from him, he also stood up just to annoy me even more.

"Eerrah. I'm begging you, just this once," he pleaded. I glared at him, I'm not going anywhere.

"No, it's better if you leave right now, Caliber. Thank you for saving me. "I closed my eyes as he nodded his head before leaving.

I went up to my room and stretched out on the bed. It feels like my body was beaten up.

I turned my gaze in front when Mrs.Gamelo entered with a woman. New student?

"Young lady. Introduce yourself." Woah, it's really good and I haven't been through this ‘introduce yourself in front of many animals’ before.

“Hello, everyone! I am Aeiou!” the new student said while smiling. She blinked before pointing at the small name tag on the uniform. What? Does her name’s spell like vowels?

"Thank you for that, Aeiou. You can sit beside Eerrah." I lazily raised my hand so this woman that I would like to call ‘vowels’ could see me. But my eyes narrowed when she smiled. She has a crush on me. Yeah, that’s it. Gosh, my charms are really strong.

"Hello, Eerrah,” Aeiou greeted me when she sat down beside me. I just smirked. She adjusted her glasses before smiling broadly.

"Tsk, shh, you’re so noisy," I told her. She pouted her lips before avoiding my gaze. Nice, she’s good and obedient.

I just slept the whole class until I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I looked up in annoyance before rubbing my eyes.

"Who gave you permission to disturb my sleep?” I asked Aeiou, who's now in front me. What does she need this time? My autograph?

“Ma'am Gamelo said that you’re assigned to tour me around the school. She also told me that if you refused, they would call your dad and ask--"

"The heck okay fine! They don't even need to threaten me using my dad. Come on, I'll eat first before I swallow you." I took my bag on my table before walking out of the room.

She just followed me which she really should! I might not be able to calm myself down and I might even hit her. Good thing that dad taught me about patience.

Oh, patience?

I don’t have one.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, nothing even changed at all, the students still looked like animals.

We found a comfortable table near the entrance, and we sat there.

“I’ll treat you, Eerrah! What do you want?" This Aeiou is really having fun with me. I don't need friends so she should stop by now.

"Lasagna, three orders. Then juice." She nodded and even exposed her teeth with braces so I almost threw her out of the chair, fortunately she was gone. I might hit her on the face if she smiles in front of me again.

When it took too long for vowels to return, I got up from my seat. I called a student’s attention and told him to reserve my seat before walking in front of the cafeteria. My eyes caught vowels in front of the group of men.

"Why are you wearing your glasses anyway? I’m sure you’ll look pretty without it. You’re so lame." I groaned when I saw MJ, the leader of that gang. I don't even know what their name is.

"I’m wearing my glasses because my eyes are blurry." I was almost taken aback by what vowels said. Nice, she’s a good one.

"You're really trying my patience," MJ roared in silence. I saw his simple gesture to his men so I quickly entered before he even did something to Aeiou.

"Very arrogant, indeed," I said while shaking my head, causing all of the attention to go to me, even MJ.

"Eerrah? You clearly told me before that I can d-do everything I want!” he said with a panic in his voice.

"That woman is not included in my contract. Leave her alone, try to touch that woman again and I will kill you." I gestured to Aeiou to leave but as soon as I turned around I stopped by what MJ said.

"You’re that kind of woman who wants to stick her nose around other people’s business. That’s why your grandfather never wants to claim you." I grinned before facing him. How did he find out about me and my grandfather's problem?

"Stop bragging about that," I said emphatically but he just smiled. I clenched my fists in anger.

"How did you find out about us?" I asked him.

"I have many connections—" I didn't let him finish his sentence. I quickly approached this man and kicked him. I pulled his collar and dropped him, he fell along with the broken table. I wasn’t still satisfied with that, so I went up to him and strangled him in the neck. "Don't you dare use my situation here! You don't know my story! "

"Eerrah! Eerrah. Stop! Please stop it! You might kill MJ!" I only realized when I heard the voices of the professors. I came back to senses when I felt someone pull me away, I watched MJ cough as he turned pale.

Damn! I shouldn’t be killing in public!
