Chapter 9

Arthas watched the mirror and washed his face. It was morning and he has to go to school. With it, he dressed and packed his bag.

As he went to the school gate, he saw the bullies waiting for him. Arthas was taken aback, they seemed aggressive in their bullying these days.

"Hey, look at who's here. Is this the trash that we all kicked?" Drake grinned and then snapped his fingers.

They clenched their fist and landed a blow on his face. Arthas tried to evade but his physique stats on Dexterity lacked. Although he has ample numbers in it, they were faster than his eyes can see.

His reaction speed lacked and so, he received the blow.

He was then down, lying on the ground then tried to stand up, they then kicked him on the chest and stomach. Making him suck air and then held his breath due to the pain.

They continued doing so until one girl arrived.

"Hey! Stop doing that or I will report you all!" said the girl with black ponytail hair.

"And what if we refuse?" Drake said then they chuckled.

She then dashed towards them and knee-kicked their leader in the stomach. Rotating and kicking the others. She combatted them with her martial arts and punched them. One was punched in the face and another one was elbow charged.

They immediately fled as they were destroyed by such a girl. Arthas then watched her and he recognized the face. She was none other than Rea.

"Hello, are you okay?" She asked while offering her hands.

Arthas was bitter deep inside. He swatted her hands and then stood up by himself, "I'm okay, no worries,"

"Oh, okay. Just tell me if they bullied you again okay? I will teach them a lesson," she winked and then turned around; leaving him.

In his past life, she was his moral support. His best friend then became his lover. Arthas can only bite his lower lips as he remembered her betrayal. It was still fresh in his memories.

He went to his class and he met her once again. In their classroom, she was transferred to their room.

"Rea will be your classmate from now on," announced their teacher.

"Please take care of me!" she said then bowed, her hair swayed.

Other students were amazed by her beauty. She has white skin, dark sharp eyes, a straight nose, and pinkish cheeks with a round face.

Arthas watched her and then she winked at him. Arthas can only breathe deep, what could have happened that she changed so much in the future?

He was baffled and was still wondering till now.

She approached Arthas and then sat beside him.

"Hello Arthas, let's be friends!" she smiled then winked again.

Drey then gestured with a thumbs up, 'Damn you, Drey,' Arthas said inside his mind.

"Hello, how are you? Let's be friends!" she said to almost everyone. A cheerful smile like a summer breeze. Innocence and friendliness captivated almost anyone that she met.

Arthas then distanced himself from her. He can't be friends with her once again. But Drey was a traitor too as she made friends with her.

Arthas then talked to Drey after Rea left the room.

"Drey! How could you!" Arthas said to him.

"Why? I like her, she's kind and friendly!" Arthas said to him then clicked his tongue.

"You'll only get heartbroken someday," Arthas said to him.

"Why?" Drey was confused.

"You'll see one day that she will change and betray you," Arthas warned him with the possibility of the future. He would only get heartbroken like him in his past life.

Many classes came and Rea was elected as the class president. Many cheered for her and she became a responsible student. Having many responsibilities and also fame.

They were in their room and their teacher was having his lecture. Arthas was staring at Rea and then she waved at him with a smile. Arthas was still heartbroken till now and his wrath was brewing inside him. She then winked at him which made Arthas avert his gaze.

It was then, one morning. Rea has a gift with her and many of the onlookers were curious as to whom it will be given. They all were looking forward to it.

It was then, Rea approached Arthas and gave her the gift while bowing.

"Please accept this gift! I made it for you,"

Arthas then realized that that same day came even with him not minding her. She still made the same move toward him. But still, Arthas was not a kind-hearted boy in the past. He loathed her presence ever since he has a second chance in his life.

"I refuse," Arthas said in a bold voice.

"Please, I like you. I have a crush on you. Please accept my gift!" She said to him.

"This gift?" Arthas then swatted her gift and then it fell on the floor. He stomped it with his feet and it was crumpled. The chocolate then seeped out from the package.

Arthas then took his leave and then went outside the room. Rea then was crying out loud. Drey was offended by what Arthas has made.

"Hey, Arthas! Say sorry to her!" Drey shouted then grabbed his shoulders.

Arthas then watched him with cold eyes, Drey watched it and it was the eyes of someone who has wrath deep inside him.

"What made you do this?" Drey can't imagine how Arthas became so cold and heartless. It was not the Arthas he knew.

"You will see it someday, she deserved it," Arthas said then left.

It was then, many students came to attack him and they wanted Arthas to pay for making her cry. It was then, Drey saw Arthas on the school grounds. He was the only one who was standing and many students were on the ground. Lying and passed out.

"Arthas, what have you done?" Drey was baffled at the sight of his friend. Arthas has beaten them up in a fight.

"Arthas!" Drey shouted.

It was then, Arthas didn't make a sound. He left without him watching him in the eyes. He then saw many students who soon went after him. They wanted to avenge their friends.

Arthas then soon was called by the council and he was punished for being guilty. He was whipped there for three days and he was put in his room while being broken.

He drank a health potion and finally recovered. Having many scars on his skin made him like a warrior that has survived many battles. And so, he finally cut Rea from his future. Eradicating the chance of them being lovers again.
