Liam got out of the car with Noah’s backpack in his hands, and as soon as he shut the door behind him, he saw Larry’s Lamborghini driving toward the parking lot, and he decided to remain where he was standing without saying a word. Most of the students in the school had gone in for their lectures and the few who were still around the vicinity were either on their way to their various classrooms or were busy with one thing or the other. Liam checked the time on his wristwatch, and realized that he still had about fifteen minutes till the time for the first lecture. “That’s more than enough time.” He nodded with a smirk on his face just before he lowered his right hand and placed the backpack very close to him on the ground before he folded his arms, patiently waiting for the Lamborghini to park. “Is that not that punk? Why the hell is he standing there?” Dan said from the backseat, looking at Liam with so much annoyance all over him. His words got to Pamela who wasn't looking,
Dan was dumbfounded as well while he stared at Liam with so much shock in his eyes, not sure if holding him was a really good idea. “Is that the best you’ve got? I said it, Larry. You do punch like a girl, or even a chicken. I gave you a lot of credits, you punch like a chicken.” Liam chuckled loudly, looking at Larry who was pissed off intensely by his words. “You think I punch like a chicken? Just hold on, I will show you that I don’t punch like a chicken!” Larry rolled his right arm to gather momentum, and when he was satisfied, he clenched his fist again, and released another punch on Liam’s face, making sure that he did it with all his energy. Instead of hurting Liam just like Larry intended, his knuckles cracked, and the severe pain he got from the impact made him grunt. Certainly, his fist was dislocated, and he felt the pain down to his shoulder, causing him to take two steps backward while Liam sniggered at him. “Poor Larry! Are you hurt? I didn’t think you were tha
Pamela moved closer to Larry, and when she saw that Larry was almost out of breath as his eyes rolled backward, she gasped. “Just let him go! There is no way he is going to confess with the way you are holding him! I beg you!” Pamela pleaded with a shaky voice, almost kneeling while she struggled with the fright that engulfed her. “Fine! I will listen to you!” Liam agreed to do what Pamela said even though he felt so much anger each time he looked at her, he returned his gaze to Larry whose mouth was wide open, and then he sighed softly. “Make sure you tell me what I want to hear or the next one will lead to your death!” Liam let go of Larry who fell to the ground at once, making a loud thud while he gasped for air, breathing frantically in an attempt to regain full consciousness. “Larry? Are you okay? Can you hear me?” Pamela said anxiously while she moved toward Larry, knelt down beside him, and grabbed him by his shoulders. Larry coughed severally, and when he saw Liam st
Larry was taken to the school clinic alongside Dan to have their injuries treated, and when they were attended to, they moved to the Dean’s office alongside Pamela who reluctantly followed them. Meanwhile, Liam was seated in the classroom with no one seated by his side. All the students in the classroom were listening to what the professor standing in front of the class was saying when one of the professors in charge of discipline walked into the room with a worrisome expression on her face. Seeing her was enough to cause a little tension in the minds of the students, especially those who had done one or two things that could get them punished. She was never a bearer of good news. Each time she came into a classroom, especially whenever she didn’t have any lectures with them, she always came to summon a student who may have defaulted in one way or the other. Without being told, Liam knew the reason why she was there, and he chuckled softly while some of the students who saw th
Liam had his eyes on Pamela from the moment she was asked to narrate what happened by Mrs. Evans. From the look on her face, he was certain that she was going to lie against him, but he wasn’t perturbed by that. “Go on, Miss Wilson. We are listening.” Henry said when Pamela had been silent for over five seconds. Everyone had their eyes on her, including Dan who couldn't say a word while he struggled with the pain all over his body. He seemed to have collected more beatings than Larry, and at that moment, he was thinking of quitting his friendship with Larry. Pamela lifted her face slowly to look at Liam, and as soon as she saw that he was already staring at her, she withdrew her face at once and bent her head to the ground. “Go on, Pamela. Everyone is waiting.” Larry whispered to her, gesturing with his hands in an attempt to urge her to tell them their own version of the story. “We were on our way to lectures this morning when we saw him standing in the parking lot…” Pamela b
Liam wasn’t surprised about the words he heard from the Dean, and he chose to remain calm even though he was annoyed by the fact that he requested for his phone. “Mr. Perkins? I am still waiting for you.” Henry said with a low tone, and then he moved closer to Liam who remained where he was without letting go of his smirk. “You want me to hand over my phone, Mr. Cassius?”“Yes, I need to make sure that the pictures are deleted. Your actions have defiled the privacy of these students, and I need to ensure that this doesn’t get out to the public.” “No, Mr. Cassius. I am not going to have my phone over to you. I can see clearly that you are not going to check the footage from the camera, that would have proven that I was defending myself.” “Mr. Perkins? We have decided to let go of that and settle this amicably.” Mrs. Evans said calmly, trying to get closer to Liam who took a step backward while looking at her with a smirk on his face. Liam scoffed without taking his eyes away
While the room was still silent, Liam looked at everyone in front of him one after the other, and seeing that they were very nervous, he nodded in satisfaction. “I told you, Larry. I told you that you were going to pay for everything you have done! I will make sure you do not get away from this one!” “Mr. Perkins? We can talk about this, it doesn’t have to end this way.” Henry said while he took two steps closer to Liam who shook his head to indicate that he wasn’t going to listen to him. “It’s already too late for that, Mr. Cassius. I hope you have a good explanation to give to the police by the time they arrive here. I am sure that…” Liam was forced to take a break when he heard the sound of the car that drove close to the building and parked very close to it. He took five steps to the window and looked down at once while everyone wondered why he did what he did. When he saw that it was the police, he nodded in satisfaction and returned his gaze to the Dean who was still v
William realized that the name Larry mentioned was very familiar, and he nodded with a smirk on his face. “I see…” He said calmly, while his eyes were still on the senior student who was arrogant even in the midst of the tension that was in the air. “You are Silas Prescott’s son, interesting. Your father has always enjoyed making people suffer because he feels he has all it takes to do so. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” William looked at Larry with so much displeasure in his eyes. It also seemed as though William was not the only one who wasn’t pleased with Larry’s father as they frowned instantly, looking at him with so much anger in their eyes. “I hope your father will be willing to come down from his high horse to pay you a visit in prison by the time you are found guilty of what you have been accused of. Come on…” William grabbed Larry’s hand, and dragged him closer to himself. “What are you doing? You are not afraid of my father?” “Don’t make this harder
