Chapter 126 Wasn't Working Out As Well.
Well, today was another day of school, and students were present at their different academies as usual.
Ryan was also present at his academy, in fact, he was in his classroom right now along with his classmates. And you know what? He was so happy today.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Part of the reason why he was so happy today was the fact that those boys hadn't been troubling his life for days...it was just like they were scared of him now.
Any time he thought about this, he was always so happy. He'd been visiting the cafeteria along with Dylan for days now during break hour, eating in peace, and also leaving the cafeteria in peace.
He was happy today just as he'd been happy these passing days due to one particular reason...but something was going to happen today.
Activities took place as usual, teachers teaching them, and so on, until it got to break hour. Students headed toward the cafeteria as usual, got served, ate, and right now, lots of students were already walking out of the cafeteria since they were done eating.
Ryan and Dylan were among the students walking out of the cafeteria. They were walking on the school compound right now heading toward their classroom...but from the look of things, they wouldn't be able to reach their classroom easily.
That peace that Ryan had been enjoying for days now was about to end...
The both of them were still heading toward their classroom when those four boys stood in front of them. The both of them were so surprised by this, and it was evident on their faces.
They tried walking in another direction after their movement was disrupted by the boys, but the boys didn't let them walk in another direction. As they were changing direction, the boys were standing in front of them immediately.
Dylan sighed after the boys disrupted their movement for the second time. Glancing at them, he voiced out,
"What is the meaning of this? Why are you guys disrupting our movement?".
"What do you think is the meaning of it? Stop acting ignorant, I'm sure you're fully aware of what is happening right now". One of the boys uttered.
You know, they were heading toward their classroom before all these started. And they weren't the only ones walking on the compound, other students were walking on the compound along with them.
Now, some of those students decided to stand and watch the occurrence taking place, while some didn't bother to do so...they just kept heading toward their classroom.
..No matter what, there'd always be students interested in watching these kinds of things, especially when it concerns Ryan.
'Was the peace I was enjoying over? Have they decided to resume bullying me again even with my threat?'. That was the thought that ran through Ryan's mind as he was staring at the bullies. Explore more at empire
"Can you guys please move out of the way so Ryan and I can continue heading toward our classroom?". Those were the next words that flowed out of Dylan's mouth while glancing at the bullies.
A smirk appeared on some of their faces after Dylan said that, then the leader of the boys voiced out,
"Sorry, we can't move out of the way".
And after saying that, he made use of his right hand to push Dylan's head, causing Dylan's head to move back a little...
An excited expression appeared on the faces of many of the students watching the occurrence after that took place...they loved it.
Meanwhile, the reverse was the case for Dylan, the students loved it, whereas, he was so pissed. Ryan couldn't help but sigh the moment that took place, and as of this moment, he was fully sure the four boys had decided to resume with the bullying.
Dylan was so pissed due to what happened just now, and the four boys noticed it because it was evident on his face. So one of them stated,
"You're pissed because your head got pushed a little. Wow! What insolence".
Hearing that statement made Dylan more pissed, but a single word didn't flow out of his mouth. Then Ryan voiced out,
"I guess you guys have forgotten what I said".
"No, we haven't". One of the boys said.
"No, you guys might have, so let me remind you all. Continue with this, and I wouldn't waste time reporting to my dad. And you all know what would happen when I report to my dad, it would be so brutal". Ryan uttered.
The four boys glanced at each other after Ryan made that statement. But that fear that was on their faces the first time he made this threat wasn't on their faces this time.
After they were done staring at each other, they focused their gazes on Ryan.
You know, the plan right from the get-go was to find out if Dylan's threat about reporting them to the teachers were just empty threats or if he could truly carry them out.
They resumed bullying Ryan with that mindset...and since they resumed bullying him, Dylan had been making the threats but never carried them out.
So they kept doing what they were doing until Ryan threatened to report all they'd been doing to him to his father. He said it with anger, and that scared them.
It didn't only scare them, it also made them stay clear off him for days. They planned to confirm if Ryan's threat about reporting them to his father was an empty threat or not behind the scene.
And to confirm that, they'd have to resume bullying him. So this was the very reason why they'd resumed disturbing his life, they wanted to confirm if the threat he made was an empty threat or not, just as they wanted to confirm Dylan's own.
And this was the reason why that fear that appeared on their faces the first time he made the threat didn't appear on their faces this time...
"You're free to do whatever you want to do. You're free to report to your dad, no one is stopping you". One of the boys uttered, glancing directly into Ryan's eyes.
A kind of surprised expression appeared on Ryan's face the moment the boy said that. Seems like this threat wasn't scaring them off anymore.
Dylan's threats to report them to the teachers weren't scaring them off anymore. Now, his threat to report to his father doesn't seem to be scaring them off anymore as well.
Ryan's surprise converted to confusion at that moment.
But Dylan seemed to have discerned something at that moment. And he had a feeling what he discerned wasn't based on probability or something, it seemed to be a sure thing.
He thought about this a few days back...but he wasn't sure that was the case.
'Seems like they want to confirm if our threats are empty threats or if we could truly carry them out. This isn't based on probability'. Dylan thought to himself.
And what he discerned was the complete truth. He still remembered the kind of fear that appeared on their faces when Ryan made the threat the first time.
But there didn't seem to be a single opt of fear on their faces now that he'd made the threat again.
After the boy said that, their leader walked closer to Ryan, then voiced out,
"You heard what he said, you're free to do whatever you want to do. You're free to report to your dad".
He was standing face to face with Ryan, and after those words were done flowing out of his mouth, he pushed Ryan so hard that Ryan began staggering and almost fell flat to the ground.
An excited expression appeared on many of the students' faces again the moment that happened...they loved it.
"Look at him staggering like a fool". The leader uttered after pushing Ryan.
They were doing all these on the compound without even thinking of what could happen if any of the teachers recognized that something was taking place on the compound.
They had a feeling none of the teachers would be able to recognize that something was taking place on the compound until they were done doing what they were doing.
And that was exactly how it would happen...
Dylan grabbed the boy's collar after those words finished flowing out of his mouth...this was seconds after pushing Ryan and almost causing him to fall to the ground.
He didn't only grab the boy's collar, an annoyed expression was also plastered on his face. Ryan was already walking toward Dylan by now to stand close to him just as he was doing a few seconds ago.
Students were surprised when Dylan grabbed the boy's collar, even the other bullies were surprised, including the boy whose collar was grabbed.
"Are you nuts? Let go of my cloth immediately". The boy uttered after Dylan grabbed his collar.
But Dylan didn't let go of it, in fact, that annoyed expression was still plastered on his face as he was still holding on to the boy's collar.
..All he wanted to do next was to punch the boy's face with force.
