Is My Life Ordinary? - Chapter 136

After going away from him I came to realize something on the way.

I heard a ‘click’ sound while I was standing with Roy, but what was that?

Was someone taking a photo of me? But why?

Since Roy already confessed that he was forced/asked to confront me all of a sudden by the President and one of the Council members and if they asked him then there is a possibility that they tried to bait me into threatening him or doing something rash.

On multiple occasions, it has turned into a heated situation wherever I and Roy were involved. Did they use that to make me even more vulnerable by making a video of it this time or even just a photo, even a video clip of 2 seconds would be enough to trigger a riot against me.

Was that ‘click’ sound, of them watching me? If so, they must have seen me trying to push him. But I never forced myself on him. At worst it might look like I was trying to bully him…

But him starting to weep might be troublesome. The others don’t know the context but on the surface, it would look like I am trying to bully him, nothing less and nothing more.

Did I fall into ‘his’ trap again?

Even after being this cautious? Even after I knew he was coming for me this time? No way, is this how I end?

Not like this…

I clenched my fist, all the irritation, frustration, all the mental weakness that had been nothing but accumulating inside was starting to boil… is this the result of me trying to hide all my problems? Am I going to lose control over myself? Is the emotion that was suppressed for this long starting to come up?

Not at an alarming rate but it was for sure that it’s coming up. The thing that used to calm me down hasn’t shown its signs yet. Is it not coming? Is that not going to calm me down?

I was walking and leaving behind the knocking sound of my heels pressing against the floor. The sound echoed throughout the floor but no one could hear.

…

I was supposed to be in the classroom trying to solve the unsolvable questions of parabola but apparently, I have escaped from it voluntarily and am waiting in the room that is filled with nothing but awkwardness.

“Allen, mind telling me what are you doing here?” the Principal asked me puzzled.

“Does it matter…?” I asked her.

“To me? Of course, it does since you are supposed to be in the class studying and as a responsible Principal I should ask you why you aren’t in the class,” she said.

“Oh, so you are trying to act ‘responsible’ now of all times…?” I asked her.

“Allen,” she scowled at me a bit and I got the idea of it.

“I am waiting for Roy,” I said.

“What? Why?” she asked me.

“She is going to come in here asking to get expelled and you will approve of it,” I said.

“Huh? Expelled? Wasn’t he supposed to go out voluntarily? And I wasn’t told anything about getting expelled,” she said.

“Just accept it and also I asked him to get expelled and he agreed to it,” I said,” It’s nothing to worry about.”

Well, I did skip a few parts in between but who cares, all that matters is the end results.

“…” but apparently the Principal wasn’t one of those who could be fooled so she was indicating me to answer honestly with her piercing gaze.

“Alright, alright. Since, he has nothing but trouble for me so I… kind of forced him to get expelled and you might help him get into a new school but then he has to owe me a big-time,” I said.

“SO you are getting him expelled and you told him just after he got to know his parents were free? And you think he owes you one favor?” she asked me with a peculiar look.

“So?”

“I don’t know, are you stupid enough to not know the mistake here? Or are you too smart to fool the other person?” she said.

“Maybe I am both,” I said.

If a fool is able to fool a fool, who is the real fool?

Such irony…

As I was thinking about how I ended up in this situation I heard a knock on the door.

‘Come in,’ I said to myself since it felt good to know you are superior to others.

“Allen,” the Principal called out to me.

“Hmm? What is it?” I asked her.

“Isn’t that job mine to do?” she asked me.

“Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?” I questioned her and myself at the same time.

“… What do you think?” she asked me, “Don’t. DOn’t answer that. Just shut up for now.”

What do you want me to do now then?

*Creak*

The door opened a bit but it didn’t open enough for me to see the face.

“Don’t just stand there, come inside,” the Principal said as she glanced at the door. Maybe from her view, it was visible.

I tried to peek a bit but the Principal sneered at me and I stopped in the tracks.

What’s happening to me? Why am I acting like this?

Just when I was wondering about it, I saw a familiar face from no too long ago.

“Um- I-.. I- ” he tried to compile his words but none came outside.

“What is it, Roy?” the Principal asked him.

Roy was so terrified and scared by the fact that he was going to ask to get expelled that he didn’t even look around to see if someone else was there or not.

Also, miraculously he was standing two steps ahead of me and I was on the far end of the sofa so if I were to assume our distance, it would be around 200cm, maybe.

Well, it’s good if he can’t see me but it’s really a shame that he didn’t even notice my presence, am I that much not noticeable?

“I—I was forced to get expelled from school by Allen! He exclaimed with all his might and let it out in one breath.

But hey, aren’t you trying to suicide now, huh? I mean I told him something, one thing to do and he just did something ridiculous.

“What…?” The Principal seemed happy about it somehow.

“…” He seemed to have gotten a hint of someone else’s presence in the room. Why? Because I just kicked the table and it hit him in the back of his knee.

He crouched down a bit but since he was already shivering in fear he didn’t raise his voice and silently took a turn behind.

“I gave you one thing. One simple thing to do and what did you do?” I asked him.

He was looking at me. For a moment it felt like time stopped for him. He wasn’t showing any fear but as time passed by all sorts of agonising expressions seemed to have caught up with the situation.

“W—What are you doing… h—here?” he asked me.

His lips were trembling, sweat scrolling down his forehead, and stopped right at the tip of his nose. He wiped it off with his shit but the sweat wouldn’t stop pouring.

Trembling he tried to raise himself but lost balance in between and was half standing and half fallen.

“I wish… I just wish I didn’t have to do this but apparently, you left me no choice,” I said.

Swiftly, I moved a little and took my phone out and in a couple of seconds, I uploaded the video on the screen and showed him for the last time. Making him sure to see his face for one last time. And paused it right when his face appeared for the first time.

“M-M-Ma’am… help me… he is trying t-t-t-t-to,” he tried to complete his sentence but couldn’t.

Why?

It was simple because he can’t do it. Either way, he is going to get destroyed, by me or by himself.

“Roy, what’s the meaning of this? Is Allen trying to force you?” The Principal played the good cop.

“Y-Y-Y-Y-Yess… he is trying to force me!” he screeched.

Even though he had already stood up, and even though I was sitting on the sofa he was supposed to be looking down on me but right he felt even lower than usual. Even lower than me. Is it because he is just a bug in my eyes now?

“Roy, what did I say? Just get expelled and I won’t pry any further,” I said sitting on a sofa, “But you did something stupid… again. Why didn’t you just do as I said?”

“…” he was too terrified to speak.

“Roy I can help,” the Principal said, “Just tell me is Allen really trying to force you into something you don’t want to? Just say it to me. If you haven’t done anything wrong I will help you.”

“?!” The last line made Roy even more anxious.

Well, it should be.

“Alright then, since you look this pathetic I would let this slide if you just tell if the ones who told you to get into a quarrel with me recorded me or not,” I said.

Shall we begin my…

Revenge!
