(A WEEK LATER)
“Young master, Your mom nee-ds you in her room now” Mrs Smith said to Ryan who was busy dressing up for school. It was a Friday morning.
Ryan frowned and ran downstairs to his mum’s room.
“You called?” He asked closing the door behind him.
“Yeah.. You remember the wedding I and your father told you about?” His mother asked wearing earrings.
“I do remember…. Don’t tell me it’s tomorrow” Ryan said.
“Yeah… It is,I and your father will leave now to stay in a hotel for the night and leave to the wedding tomorrow morning.. We wouldn’t want to stay here till tomorrow of course, Where the wedding will take place is pretty far, Are you coming with us?…Mrs Smith is coming along too” Mrs Scott asked.
“Now?” Ryan asked.
“Yes”
“Does it mean I won’t go to school?”
“Yes”
“It’s unfair, Last Saturday due to the school prom… I didn’t even have my tutorial,Now you want me to miss school today and still miss Tutorial tomorrow?…Nah,Just go without me”
“We can’t…. We promised Grandma we would bring you along”
“Why don’t he do this instead” Mr Scott interrupted coming in. Ryan bowed his head as his father sat on the be-d.
“Do what father?” Ryan asked.
“Today is Friday and school hours will be short, Ask your teacher to teach you tutorial today at home after school hours, When you are done, Just give me a call… I will ask a designated driver to pick you up” Mr Scott said.
Mrs Scott looked at him and pinched him ha-rd on his leg.
“No designated drivers!” She said.
“I’m sorry, I mean I will pick you…. Don’t worry I will call your teacher and tell her about the tutorial for today” Mr Scott said.
“Alright father, But what’s up with you guys and drivers, I don’t get why you guys hate it so much” Ryan chuckled as he left.
Mrs Scott looked at her husband angrily.
“We had better be careful, Goodness… This is all your fault that our son turned out this way yet you said what? A designated driver? I forbid it” She said turning back to the mirror.
“At least he doesn’t have a clue about the person who……..
“But Still, He knows you were the cause of what happened 3 years ago…. That the main reason he hates us bringing up the past” Mrs Scott interrupted.
Mr Scott sighed sadly.
*************
Ryan got to school and met ru-by on the way. He felt sad watching her because she became weird since that prom night. She was always abs-ent minded and in a sad mood.
“Sém… Good morning” He greeted running towards her.
“Oh hey” ru-by said smiling.
“What of your friend Beckey?”
“She took her niece to school”
“Oh… I see”
“You know what Ryan, plea-se… Can you walk away? I really want to be alone”
“Huh? Uhmm… Okay but Sém…I hope everything is okay”
ru-by just nodded sadly.
“But you have changed you know? What happened? You are not longer vibr@nt like you used to be? You are always sad, And right now you look pale and Sick”
“Goodness, Ryan I’m okay…you don’t have to be worried about me…Now, Go on your way” ru-by said.
“I will then but my dad alre-ady told you right about…
“He called me alre-ady, about the tutorial right?” ru-by interrupted
“Yeah”
“Well… He did, So go along now” ru-by said as Ryan walked fas-ter.
**************
“Sir?” Mike said to Mr Tyson
“Yes, Mike… Any problem?” Mr Tyson asked.
“Actually, I nee-d your help, I nee-d to leave school now but I have lots of things to fill in the continuous papers and I’m quite busy, I have to bring in my late Family member child into my place so….
“No problem” Mr Tyson interrupted.
“Oh sir….plea-se, I’m not done” Mike chuckled.
“Oh… Sorry, So?”
“Uhmm… Can you ask ru-by to help me fill it out”
“You can ask her yourself” Mr Tyson said.
“She won’t agree, But she might agree if it’s you”
“Is that so? Call her in here then”
“Thank you sir” Mr Tyson said as he bowed and left.
Mr Mike went to Mrs Jones
“Mrs Jones, Mr Tyson said you should call ru-by into his office” He lied.
“Oh… Okay” Mrs Jones said as she walked close to ru-by.
“Hey… ru-by, You are being called by Mr Tyson” Mrs Jones said to ru-by who rushed in.
************
“I can’t sir” ru-by said immediately as Mrs Tyson explained.
“Don’t be heartless, Just help him once…You know he actually wants to take the late family child into his care”
“Alright then, But I’m doing it because you asked because I alre-ady had my schedule for the day”
“I’m sorry for stealing your time but thank you Mrs Marlene”
ru-by was surprised, no one had ever called her by her surname.
“Are you surprised?,Well,By the way… Won’t you still tell me why you change your surname from Whyte(This was her real surname from Episode 1 if you clearly remember) to Marlene?”(This Surname was mentioned in Episode 4 if you still remember)
ru-by looked at him and chuckled.
“I should get to work” She said changing the topic and left immediately.
Mr Tyson laughed.
**************
“I might finish quite late today so just wait for me outside till I’m done….Okay?” ru-by said to Ryan.
“Alright sém” He replied sadly.
***************
School had closed for the day and the students found themselves going home. Ashley and Barbara who had became friends over night held each other arm as they gisted and laughed.
“what are you doing here?won’t you go home” A tiny voice asked Ryan.
Ryan looked behind him and Saw Martha.
“Nah.. I’m waiting for someone” He replied.
“ohhh… okay” She replied and left immediately.
*************
ru-by was quite busy with her work that the school became empty. She was almost throu-gh when the door opened.
“Ryan? I told you not to come…uhh.. uhh” Her breath became fas-ter when she saw Mike.
Mike was wearing only a pair of bo-xers. He chuckled and said;
“I was actually in school…waiting for you, Finally…You are mine” He said coming closer to her.
“Don’t come any closer!” She yelled taking a pen and charging it at him as she walked backwards slowly in fear.
He just laughed and jumped on her, He was stronger than her and was able to take away the pen from her fist, He held her mouth so she wouldn’t shout.
“Just trust me, I won’t take long” He chuckled taking off her shirt bu-ttons.
Tears flowed from her eyes as she shaked her head vigorously and struggling to rele-ase herself from his grasp.
She quic-kly bit his hand he had used in covering her mouth. She was crying and sweating badly alre-ady.
“plea-se, Let me go…I’m begging you” She begged pitifully as more tears escaped from her eyes
“Shut it!” He shouted angrily.
“Help me!! Help me!! Is anyone there, Save me plea-se!” She finally had the chance to shout for help.
***************
Ryan heard this and focused more on where it was coming from.
It was from the school of course! And from the staff room!
“Sèm?” He quietly asked as he ran with his bag which dangled on his shoulder with his heart beating fas-ter. He was pretty scared.
He pushed the door open and saw Mike trying to Unbu-tton ru-by’s shirt who was crying and ru-bbing her palms together begging Mike seriously and he was half na-ked for that matter.
“What’s this?!” Ryan shouted.
Mike saw him and pushed ru-by out of his way.
Ryan was alre-ady boiling in anger, He saw how unkept ru-by was… Her hair were scattered, Her bu-ttons were opened,Her face was sweaty and swollen because of her tears.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!” He yelled.
“Will you shut it!? So, What are you going to do now? Call your father or fight me… Huh?” Mike challenged coming closer to him.
“BOTH! You son of a mo**erfu-cker!…Bloody hell of a human!” Ryan shouted.
Ryan looked at ru-by who kept crying.
“Sém… You are right, I nee-d my father in some certain things because right now I think I might do the worst because I’m not actually in my right s-enses….” Ryan said as he took his phone and made a call.
“Ryan… Are you re-ady?” His father asked at the other side of the call.
“Father… Listen well and good, Do you know Mr Mike?………Very good! I want him fired……. Don’t ask me why!……… Just do what I ask of you and forget about me going to the wedding…. Don’t bother picking me up, I’m hanging up” Ryan said and cut the call.
“That won’t work, You are just a big clown… Since when were you even here? Wait… ru-by? Are you guys dating?? Was that why you ignored me!!… You guys are so funny!” Mike yelled.
Ryan scoffed and quic-kly took some pictures of him and ru-by.
Mike looked at him angrily.
“What did you just do, Kid?” Mike asked
“I guess this is enough evidence” Ryan said cli-cking his ton-gue loudly.
“You are s-xually hara-ssing your fellow teacher and you call yourself a human? Now,Just take a good look at your self and I and tell me who is the real kid here, KID!” Ryan shouted.
Mike was was dumbfounded alre-ady.
“Sém?!” Ryan called.
ru-by looked at him from the cold floor she sat down on. She was so miserable and confused alre-ady.
“Are you a good catcher?” He asked.
“Huh?…….” ru-by paused.
“I think” She finally whispered to his hearing.
“Catch!” Ryan said throwing the phone high to her.
ru-by caught it immediately.
“Now Call 911” Ryan said.
“Huh? Why?” ru-by asked standing up frightened.
“Tell them to come with an ambulance because…..” He paused and pointed to himself and then to Mike.
“Because I really think one of us both might die…..”
