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
That was the only last hope he could gather that he'll be listened to. From their previous meeting, he could see how much the principal was careful and wondered who the rich man was behind him. The principal seethed his teeth, and reluctantly said. “Fine, let's all go to the school compound.”“Yes sir.” The two teachers reluctantly nodded, gritting their teeth. The students at the school compound were already getting impatient. Some even started patrolling around, as they began wondering where Nolan had gone.“Edmond, where could Nolan have gone to?” Freddie's anxious voice questioned.“I don't know. Let's wait.” Edmond himself was anxious, but he decided to have a little faith in Nolan.Due to the anxious and panic mood, they had forgotten Nolan wasn't a fool to stupidly create such a scene without careful thought.Micheal tightly holds his palm in sweat. He now knew that things weren't as easy as just Kevin admitting to stealing the headphone. He had been so obsessed with having h
Swiftly recovering from their initial shock, they snapped back with surprising speed, only to be greeted by a cacophony of mocking laughter that reverberated through the air.Haha haha hahaThe collective sentiment among the onlookers shifted, now viewing Nolan as a colossal fool. Why hadn't he seized the opportunity to escape the moment it presented itself? What compelled him to remain in the lion's den?Kevin and his cohorts, known for their notoriety and popularity, were clearly a force to be reckoned with. Nolan's audacious public defiance against them left everyone questioning his rationale. Did he genuinely believe he would emerge unscathed?"Even if he possessed seven lives, today's predicament would remain an inescapable ordea for Nolan.” That was the thought that filled everyone mind.Just as everyone had settled on the presumed outcome, three additional figures materialized in their field of vision.Two teachers and the principal!The prin… the principal?!Their legs trembl
The principal paused contemplatively before addressing the situation further. "If you believe you can outrightly deny it, I must say you're quite fascinating, because the students are present, and they overheard your previous admission."Having said that, the principal turned towards the students. "Tell me. Did Kevin confess to possessing Nolan's headphones?" he inquired, anticipating an honest response.The students remained in silence, deep in contemplation. Admitting to hearing Kevin's admission would implicate him, and repercussions might follow even after the immediate issue was resolved.They found themselves in a tight spot, caught between potential consequences for speaking the truth and the warning signals from Kevin and his group, urging them to remain silent at all costs."Are you all deaf? Answer me!" the principal's stern voice echoed, instilling a sense of fear in the students.He hates their silence so much. It was obvious he knew they were contemplating which side they
"Are you eagerly anticipating your upcoming visit to the prison?" The sarcastic undertone in Kevin's voice was unmistakable.Nolan simply scoffed in response.Undeterred, Kevin seemed unfazed by the lack of reaction. "Well, perhaps you shouldn't have gone to such extremes, stealing an expensive headphone just to alter everyone's perception of you," he said with feigned concern and a sly smile.The students burst into laughter at Kevin's words, and from his explanation, they began to entertain the notion that Nolan might have resorted to theft in an attempt to shake off the labels of being a wreck and poor, as implied by the rumors.Nolan, however, remained nonchalant, opting not to offer any response.Michael, who had been harboring anxiety and anger, couldn't contain his emotions any longer. "You foolish and thoughtless Kevin! Do you believe your popularity gives you the right to trample over anyone?"Freddie seized the opportunity to chime in, adding fuel to the fire. "I heard somet
Freddie was left speechless. Even if he wanted to refute the voice source words, he could deny the fact that the officers claimed they are here for a missing Onkyo H900M headphone which Nolan says is his own.Everyone immediately turned to Nolan pitifully.“He won't be able to go unpunished, with the presence of eight good high ranked officers!”Nolan scoffed and shrugged off the hands of those first police officers from his body. After doing that, he swiftly walked to the eight high rank officers and politely spoke aloud. “I hope you guys weren't stressed when walking over here?” He inquired.“Oh no.” The eight ranked officers smiled. “We're fine and okay when coming here. We must acknowledge that we felt blessed coming to help you detect your missing headphone.” They said, respectfully.Everybody felt stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes and ears; the high ranked officers were being respectful to Nolan. Not just that, but the most shocking thing was that they mentioned somethi
The three friends all smiled. “Alright. Let not ask for forgiveness again, since you all are at fault in one way or another.”Few into their happy conversation, the thirty officers came out and in the hands of one of them was the Onkyo H900M headphone.Micheal's heartbeat in excitement at the sight of the headphone that will be his. The color alone seems so relaxing and comforting. He quickly collected the headphone from them and inspected it cheerfully.“Who stays in hostel room 35?!” The officer sternly questioned.“Uh me?” Kevin had to respond,.acted hearing the fearful voice. “I stay in that room, but I'm not the only one staying in that room. There are four others there with me.” He wanted to push the blame unto the other roommates.However, the next words of the police officer made his heart sink. “We have already asked the teachers and they said, your other roommates haven't been to the room for like three days now since they went to their other friends to stay, so the only cri
