(hérèse point of view)
Several hands grabbed me roughly.
I pulled myself back and found myself facing Parfait's henchmen.
I did not object and let myself be dragged along.
I let go of Alex's collar before I was even asked to and watched him collapse to the ground.
The poor man lay down immediately and curled up like a porcupine.
I watch it with satisfaction.
DAMN IT! WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THAT? DID YOU SEE THE NUMBER OF WITNESSES!
screamed that aggressive voice deep in my head.
I immediately licked my fingers, slipped them into my pocket and cleaned off the blood that had spread on them.
Lionel seemed very shocked, I expected him to be a little more used to it, but oh well.
He did not hide his confusion, his eyes were wide open and his hand rose slightly to his face, panic was very clearly visible in his eyes and his gaze went from left to right fixing on Parfait's and examining mine.
Tac !
A small knock sounded from the rear.
Parfait took over the situation as usual, very calmly and quick-wittedly.
He got down to Alex's level and put his arms under his armpit, lifting him up in one swift motion.
"Come on, come on, get up," he whispered in her ear.
I followed discreetly, looking a little detached because of her incessant cries that came from the depths of my thoughts.
HÉRÈSE ! ANSWER ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU.
At least you're using it, making that decision isn't your right, ahhhhh, hérèse !
My eyes hurt and my head couldn't keep up anymore.
– aah~, she's so annoying
I said to myself.
Ignoring it was my best decision; I felt much better, staring everywhere, in random corners, at the gate, motorcycles, spoons, and above all… people, I would say rather that it was they who invited themselves into my field of vision.
These ant-like individuals, attracted by the blood that prevented me from straying freely, but finally the highlight of the show arrived,
security
They had been late but finally returned because of this unusual gathering of students.
At the sight of them, I lowered my head, regret distorted my face and a light breath escaped my lips.
Parfait price, they immediately took the lead, leaving me no chance to explain.
"Help him," he ordered first.
Letting go of Alex, he passed the lead to Lionel.
"He's going back," he continued, as if he had the authority to do so.
I knew he loved power. Lionel stared at him but complied anyway.
One of the security guards seemed perplexed, a little reluctant, but said nothing; she simply did as the others did.
They looked completely lost.
– (so a student could reach this level of authority.)
– (I was able to verify this)
I raised my hand and slid it across my chest, looking apologetic.
– I'm going to see the headmaster
The crowd looked at each other, murmurs overlapped, and doubts arose.
Parfait's sidekicks let go of my shoulder even though they were a little reluctant; he couldn't control someone calm, rather cooperative, these children, but once again Parfait took the lead.
– go back to class, go back to class, he began ordering everyone
He asserted himself over everything that seemed inferior to him, maintaining the situation and gradually restoring the atmosphere of recreation.
He didn't stop there, however, as he followed me, accompanied by his security detail, all the way to the head supervisor's office.
Our steps clashed with every advance, I would say rather that he was deliberately kicking me and when I stared at him he would throw me a little "sorry" as if he wasn't doing it on purpose.
The first floor was nothing anymore.
(So this is where my end lies)
Toc !
Toc !
Toc !
I even let him knock on the door and a "come in" made me start.
I pinched the back of his hand and opened the door, entering the office first and making sure to close the door before he entered.
The owner of this office looked up from his files and adjusted his glasses
- You're there
I took my seat
– Yes, my guardian warned me.
I quickly took out an envelope and placed it on the desk.
clac! clac!
The door opened again and the tension was redirected over my shoulder.
"Yes sir parfait , what can I do for you?" asked the supervisor in a very intimidating tone.
That was pretty much where I concluded everything.
He tried to break in, but he was stopped with a simple gesture.
- I am-
He began, but was quickly cut off.
– Isn't the break already over? I'm busy, I'll come after your classes.
Quick and easy, the supervisor plunged his eyes back into his files.
–...it's from him..
He stammered, forcing the situation a little too much
His anger rose up against him.
And to add to that, I turned around and looked at him as if I were surprised to see him there.
– Did you follow me? I told you we'd talk later.
I whispered discreetly with a big, friendly smile.
- what…
His voice was blocked, he pointed at me.
He was now the guy who exaggerated
The supervisor rapped on his desk
"Mr. Perfect..." he said slowly but powerfully.
– You'll have plenty of time to discuss this, I'm busy, close my door and return to class.
I faced him again
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon," I added, teasing him.
