As anticipated, the three friends found themselves involuntarily panicking.

"Fine, fine, we won't spread anything. Can you just sit down and quit with the threats?" they grumbled, wearing expressions of irritation.

Nolan's interference had spoiled their enjoyment, and Freddie, in particular, displayed his displeasure by stomping his feet like an agitated kitten.

"That works for me," Nolan said with a slight smile, retaking his seat.

He resumed his earlier posture, crossing his legs with a composed and serene demeanor. The quartet delved into various discussions, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they chatted animatedly.

Amidst their conversation, Freddie's eyes widened, and he flashed a bright smile.

Turning to Nolan, he asked, "Nolan, I hope you haven't forgotten, huh?"

Nolan, puzzled, responded, "Forgotten what? I don't understand."

Freddie slapped his own head, gazing at Nolan as if he were dealing with a complete fool. "Your memory is quite something. Have you really forgott

    "Nolan, I'm claiming this one. I absolutely adore this blue headphone!" Freddie exclaimed with excitement, seizing the headphones from Michael's grasp.Michael was tempted to reclaim them, but Nolan's voice intervened. "No need to fight, everyone. There are still two other gifts, so let's not argue. Plus, the other two gifts are headphones that are equally cool," he calmly stated.Edmond disagreed, shaking his head. "How can we be certain that the other headphones are just as good as this one? I don't want to take any chances."There were numerous possibilities—Nolan might not have any more headphones, or the ones he had left might not be as impressive as the coveted blue pair.Noticing Edmond's hesitation, Nolan reassured him, "I assure you, it will be fine. Let Freddie have this one; after all, his favorite color is blue, and the headphones match his preferences."Freddie stuck out his tongue at Michael and Edmond. "See? Nolan's on my side," he said, relishing Nolan's defense.His w

    Freddie and Michael simultaneously remarked, "I suppose our thoughts align with yours."Edmond smiled seeing they were all having the same thought.Nolan, puzzled by their exchange, questioned, "What's on your minds? Do you have any leads on who might have taken the headphones?"Edmond glanced at him before confidently asserting, "It's not just a lead; we're certain your roommates must have stolen it!" He declared with conviction.Nolan looked at the other two, seeking confirmation of Edmond's claim, and noticed them nodding in agreement."You all believe my roommates stole the headphones...?" Nolan couldn't bring himself to articulate the words, feeling repulsed at the prospect of his suspicions being true.How could his roommates, with whom he shares a living space, resort to stealing headphones.Freddie nodded his head vigorously. “We're sure. From what you said, it's clear that no one aside from you and your roommates knew you had any headphones, so it means there's no one other t

    Nolan's expression tightened, his fists clenched, as he sarcastically declared, "Had my headphones not been missing, would I be here searching for you guys?""What?! How is your headphone missing? Isn't it in our room?"Nolan let out a frustrated groan. "Enough of this charade! Just tell me where the headphone is!"Chris advanced angrily, retorting, "Nolan, can you stop yelling at us? Who do you think you are to come here and shout at us?""Just retrieve my headphones, and I'll leave. That's all.""Your headphones are not with us. Why would we have your headphones?" Milo asked, appearing annoyed.Edmond, Freddie, and Michael, who had approached Nolan, restrained him."What's going on?" Nolan groaned, annoyed at being held back.Edmond, unaffected by Nolan's intense expression, spoke calmly. "Nolan, shouting isn't the solution. Your roommates are the primary suspects. Even if they didn't take your headphones, as they claim, they likely know something about the person responsible."Nola

    Edmond nudged Nolan shoulder a light with a bothered look. “Nolan, what are you planning on doing now?” He feared Nolan might do something unimaginable with his temperature. He wasn't having the bloodshot look again, now he was looking completely expressionless making Edmond feel uneasy. Nolan heard him but didn't reply. He only remained silent making the situation worst. Everyone silently watched him with an instinct fear. “What's this Nolan up to?” They no longer attach Nolan to the good for nothing person, now this appearance alone was screaming imposing to them. Nolan gazes at the four roommates deeply before walking away. Edmond, Freddie and Micheal saw Nolan leaving and quickly pursued. “Hey wait! Wait for us! Don't make us run again!” Freddie called out, as he ran. The students gathered saw that the scene at the basketball field was over, and quickly followed Nolan. They knew Nolan was probably going to look for another trouble so it will be was missing out. “Ah God

    The students loitering in the canteen all sported humorous and derisive expressions.He doesn't deserve anything, but it's fine to hand him 500 dollars!They all chuckled mockingly at the idea.“How dare a guy in need of money think of coming here?”“Quite distasteful.”Nolan remained silent, his gaze fixed intensely on Kevin. “I'm sure you don't want a commotion here, right? It would be wise to do as I say.”Kevin smirked coldly, scrutinizing Nolan disdainfully. “I don't know how many lives you have, willing to give one up here!” He casually threatened, “Well, I don't have any headphones with me, so just leave and stop causing a scene.”With that said, Kevin leaned back in his chair, refocusing on the delicacies on the table."Hmph! You shouldn't have spoken to him at all. He doesn't deserve it," one of the group members commented.Another added with disgust, “I really wonder what kind of nerve he has, blindly approaching you for headphones. Even if he has headphones, he shouldn't dr

    Nolan maintained an impassive expression while calmly inquiring, "Then, inform me of the whereabouts of my headphones, but only if you're not apprehensive about facing me."Michael's fists tightened with anticipation as he awaited Kevin's reply. The lost headphones were intended for him, and only he knew the fervor with which he sought them.Without hesitation, Michael responded to Nolan in a nonchalant manner. "Yes, yes, yes, I took your headphones!" He emphatically and proudly confirmed that he was in possession of the headphones.An immediate hush fell over the surroundings.Could it be true that Kevin had actually stolen Nolan's headphones, the ones he had been searching for?Their concern wasn't so much about the act of theft itself but rather the shock of Kevin boldly and fearlessly admitting to it in a public setting.Nolan's facial expression twitched. He couldn't comprehend Kevin's motive for openly confessing to the act. Wasn't he afraid of potential repercussions from the s

    He conveyed his words in a manner that suggested uncertainty.A collective sense of unease settled in everyone's hearts.Did they correctly hear what was just said?“No, no, Kevin must be mistaken!”Perplexed and unaware students reached for their phones, initiating internet searches. After retrieving the results, they found it challenging to believe what they saw.The headphone's price exceeded $87,000!“Could our eyes be deceiving us?” they wondered, quickly dismissing the thought, understanding that it was improbable for all of them to misperceive simultaneously.They double-checked their phones, still struggling to comprehend the astonishing prices and the headphone's name.“Our eyes are not playing tricks on us!” they unanimously affirmed, convinced that their vision was accurate. The unsettling aspect was Kevin's words; he likely confused the headphone's name with another.With an air of smugness, Kevin leisurely cast a glance at the chaotic scene, where students were entangled

    “Parr! Parr! Parr!The three sounds echoed in everyone's ears making them feel their heart tightened.They were not quick to realize what had happened, until someone shouted.“Hey, look! The guy's face… face is bleeding!” Everyone turned to the direction of the guy that had just gone to Nolan.He was slapped?!He was slapped by No… Nolan!No one felt such a thing had happened, including the guy himself. He didn't know he'd gotten slapped until after a minute.“Did… I just got slapped?” He battles with those words as he subconsciously holds his already swallow cheek.Anger and shame fummed his eyes, as he shouted. “Why did you lay your filthy hands on me?!”When he had spoken earlier, he never expected any retribution by Nolan against him. He had only spoken and insulted Nolan just like the others did, so he couldn't understand why Nolan chose to vent his anger unto him, of all people.He wished he could reverse time, and probably kept shut, then maybe he wouldn't have been slapped in

    Even with the questions circulating around, no one has an answer to it. There was just a lot of speculation going around in their minds.However, there was one thing everyone concluded on, and that was “it must be something unfortunate.”They couldn't believe what would make Zachary have such drastic discoloring expression was anything near good.Soon after, Zachary hung up the call, but the look on his face was enough to tell everyone how severe the issue was.“Zachary, who called you just now?” One of his friends walked over to him and asked.Zachary remained silent but at the end, he still responded. “My sister,” he said, softly.Everyone became even more confused. If it is just a call from his sister, then what caused such a reaction like this from him?“Why did your sister call you? Isn't she aware you're in school now?” The question persisted. Even after hearing the question, Zachary remained completely lifeless and blank. It was a complete opposite of his usual arrogant demean

    “Don't worry, I'll handle everything,” Nolan said, looking overly calm.Edmond sighed, as he assessed Nolan's unusual calmness. Even if he wanted to believe in Nolan, he just couldn't stay calm.With his eyes fixed on Nolan, he tried persuading. “Nolan, we're in their school, not ours. I don't think you should act in haste, and say something that's not possible,” Even if he knew his words seemed somehow hurtful to Nolan pride, he couldn't help but spill out. It was his job as his friend to make sure to remain Nolan properly in order not to make any mistake out of rash decision.Nolan remained quiet, uncertain of his next move aside from a nervous chuckle. "Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?" he inquired."Absolutely. You're seriously disadvantaged if you go head-to-head against Zachary," Edmond nearly shouted.He hoped his words sank in for Nolan. Seriously, what made Nolan think he had the upper hand here? He was completely immersed in their school environment, not like they were a

    "Indeed, that's correct," Vivian affirmed with a nod, agreeing with my observation. "James resembles Zachary, but on a larger scale. He's even more infamous than the foolish Zachary."Nolan remained silent as Vivian continued speaking. "I've heard that James' demeanor stems from being the son of a wealthy man, possibly a politician," she added.Nolan gasped in realization, comprehending Vivian's words.Noticing Nolan's expression, Vivian furrowed her brows, indicating she had more to say.Observing her demeanor, Nolan inquired, "What's with that look? Do you have something else on your mind?""It's nothing, just curious how you ended up crossing paths with James, especially since it's your first time at my school," Vivian replied."I don't even know who James is, so how could I have intentionally interacted with him?" Nolan responded."Are you certain?" Vivian wasn't questioning Nolan's honesty but seemed perplexed."Yes, I am," Nolan affirmed calmly. "By the way, do you have any addi

    Just like Vivian and Nolan, everyone else was also interested in knowing who Zachary claimed to be more daring than he's.With interest brewing in everyone's, they waited to hear what Zachary had to say.Seeing their interested faces, Zachary sneered in disdain. “Why are you looking so afraid?” His question wasn't directed at anyone, other than Nolan. Nolan noticed Zachary gaze on him, but he just ignored him, with no intent of wanting to exchange words with me.However, Zachary wasn't ready to let's go. He gave a meaningful smile, before sayiong. “Why are you looking afraid?” He asked again.It was obvious to everyone that he was trying to get Nolan provoked or perhaps angry. Everyone silently watched the both of them. Although they were getting impatient to hearing what Zachary has to say but his earlier words, however they could do nothing other than to wait.Nolan smirked, and replied this time. “What should I be afraid? Is it you?” He chuckled, “A female has actually labelled yo

    The final speaker let out a derisive laugh. "Are you serious, Vivian? Do you even know who you're talking to?"Whispers began to ripple through the hall as all eyes turned to Vivian and the speaker, both female."What's gotten into Vivian? This isn't like her at all.""Yeah, she's usually so cautious. What's changed?""She's messing with Caira Lara."Caira Lara was one of the school's popular students, known for her troublesome behavior.What made it even more surprising was that Vivian had never interacted with Caira before. Everyone assumed she was either being cautious or outright afraid of her. But today's events seemed to cast a new light on the situation.Was Vivian not afraid of Caira Lara after all?Vivian sneered, at Ciara's words. “Of course yes. Isn't it obvious that you're Ciara. I only asked if you wanted a slap too, so just answer me that's all.”Once again, murmurs filled the hall, with everyone turning to themselves to engage in a discussion.Vivian must be indeed craz

    "Relationship?" Nolan barely held back a laugh. The notion of him being romantically involved with his cousin was so absurd that it struck him as hilarious.But, he reasoned, they couldn't be blamed since they were unaware of the truth.Milo, Freddie, Chris, and the others all perked up at the surprising revelation."What in the world did we just hear? Nolan in a relationship?" Their eyes widened to the brink of disbelief.It was comical. The idea of Nolan being in a romantic entanglement had never crossed their minds, so hearing it now provoked amusement rather than seriousness."I have to ask again, are you two actually in a relationship?" Zachary's focus was not on the reactions of the students in the hall; rather, he was eager to uncover the truth.Vivian glared at Zachary, almost looking crazy. “Are you stupid or what? Why would you have such nonsense about us?”Zachary seethed his teeth, coldly. “Yes, I'm stupid if that's what you define my obsession. I can't help but think the

    The eight hands that were about touching Nolan all held in the air.Everyone turned to the cold yet angry female voice.Nolan, on the other hand, was also curious so he turned to the familiar voice.Even without the voice stopping the Menz he was already prepared to teach them a lesson. How on earth do they think they would be allowed even the hem of his outfit.As everyone turned, they were even more shocked. “Vivian?” Everyone exclaimed all at once. Nolan was also surprised. Although he knew Vivian school here, he didn't know the extent of her popularity for all of them to call out at once.He straightened his clothes, before walking over to Vivian. “You're here.” The eyes of everyone widened at Nolan's casual tone towards Vivian.One even asked, amongst themselves. “He knows her?”“As you can see, I'm also shocked.”Vivian didn't react as Nolan had expected. He'd expected her to jump and shouted looking surprised and excited seeing him. Instead he got a hit on his shoulder.“Ah,

    Everyone's breath seized as they watched the tension unfolding. What was Zachary doing? Chris moved closer to Micheal, as he whispered. “Is this how Hilltop students treat their teachers?” Michael puffs out a small laugh. It was obvious he finds this scene hilarious. “As you can see I'm also surprised. This Zachary is so gutsy.” He couldn't help but mock.They both returned their gaze at Zachary and Nelson.“You can't just say you've nothing to say. You need to prove him wrong by giving me some information about how the whole commotion started.” Nelson said, through seethed teeth.Although he was displeased by Zachary's harsh words, he couldn't lose his temper, as that wouldn't seem right in front of many students.Zachary rolled his eyes, before snorting. “Mr Nelson just return back to the staff room, and stop snooping into what's not your business.” He snapped, in retort.“Oh goodness!” Everyone's mouth widened, as they used their hands to close it. Did he just call Mr Nelson a s

    While remaining upright, he casts a menacing glare at Nolan, aiming to instill intimidation and divert the focus of Nolan words onto another individual.Yet, his intentions falter as Nolan unexpectedly interjects with a demand, "Apologize to him!"“Another repeat?” Zachary mumbled inwardly.A hush falls over the hall, everyone holding their breath, intrigued as to whom Nolan is addressing.Most of the Hilltop students are unfamiliar with Nolan, as he is not part of their student body. However, Nolan's fearless demeanor piques their interest."Who is he?" one of the females exclaims. "I'm getting goosebumps. He's quite captivating.""How can you say he's captivating? Even if I don't like Zachary, it's not right for someone from our school to harass our peers."“Hmph. Zachary must have started it first. I don't think this charming guy started it.”They all began to argue. Since their perspectives are all different, it was normal for them to have an argument.“Well, even if Zachary start
