GHOST FACES

13. Let's Play The Game (Part 1)

Bruuk!

Aston Kennard



Kennard came from playing his backpack on the table with a look of frustration.

"Let me guess. Your problem isn't over, is it?" Christian Wu, a man of Canadian blood mixed with China, commented on his bench.

Christian Wu



"Obviously not yet. You're blind, aren't you?" Who was talking to Kennard. But the other tall man, Stanley O'Conner, said.

Stanley O'Conner



"I warned you not to have too much fun." Tao Fang, the native Chinese man, chimed in without switching focus from his favorite comics.

Tao Fang's



"Isn't it not normal not to cheat?" kennard said with a cynical grin that was responded to by a fool from his friends, he had just realized something. "Where is Alfred?"

"Toilets?" Tao murmured skeptically.

Kennard is opening up a new topic. But someone on the corner bench made Kennard feel disturbed and uncomfortable. Then he went to the man there. Instantly the atmosphere inside the classroom turned tense.

"What did you notice from earlier, you freak?"

The man with round eyes, nicknamed freak man sekampus, did not dare to lift his face that as usual would pale if faced with an Aston Kennard. The man he and the weakest seemed to fear the most.

"See me when I talk to you, *****!"

Kennard clucked and easily pulled his collar, making the trembling man immediately tiptoe because Kennard was too strong to grip his collar. The man still did not dare to look Kennard's eagle in the eye.

"I don't like your sick eyes seeing me. You hear that?"

Not daring to flinch at all. Kennard brutally pushed him into a chair and table.

Kennard spat on the floor as if the man was just a carcass, then he went out with his friends who had grinned with satisfaction, as if the man's suffering was a pleasure for them.

"Look who's coming!" Stanley patted Kennard's shoulder by pointing towards the campus courtyard.

"You're gonna shut up?" Christian simply commemorates Kennard who seems to be wasting time standing by.

Kennard sighed and then approached Evelyn who at that time also the girl immediately turned the direction. He was still angry at her.

"Hey. Oi. Hey!" But Kennard managed to grab the girl's wrist until they faced off. And Kennard was confused where to start, because the apology was really tacky for him. "Last night's events weren't what you thought."

"Any madman knows what to do when he sees two naked people in bed." Evelyn tried to look calm, freeing her hand from Kennard's grip. "And, wow, my boyfriend and my best friend made love. Amazing." she quipped that ended a sarcastic ruckus.

"For God's sake we don't intend to do it!" Kennard net firmly explained. “We—”

"—drunk to the point of not consciously doing it.” Evelyn continued with a look of stupidity. “Forget it.”

Kennard failed to hold back Evelyn's difficult departure once he stopped.

"Eve! Evely!" his yell. "Damn it!"

In the campus hallway as Evelyn heads for the classroom, three girls are seen stopping her. Evelyn tried to dodge like she was avoiding Kennard earlier.

"Eve! Please stop!" Casey chases her until she stops the girl. "You know me. And I'm hardest to control when I've been in a situation last night. I admit to being wrong. I'm sorry. Please...,"

Casey White's



Evelyn was silent for quite a while then she immediately gave an answer. "I need time to understand all this. I have to finish my script."

That was all Evelyn said before she walked away.

Somewhere else.

The girl lying on the table was currently getting stronger gripping both sides of the table firmly with her hands as soon as Alfred slid his fingers in the girl's labyrinth. The upper body part that has not been wearing anything, a mini skirt made of jeans that is exposed to the CD has sagged to the ankles. He called out Alfred's name as the man grew increasingly brutal toying with his intimate parts. The girl wanted more. It doesn't feel satisfied if Alfred doesn't use his manhood.

Alfred gladly granted the girl's wish.

Alfred Barclay's



Alfred Barclay was not the type of man who first invited the opposite sex to have sex. Instead, it was the women who came to give up their bodies. Which man would not refuse if the women surrendered themselves freely? Alfred is a jerk. To him, s*x was also a necessity. It's just that he didn't really express that desire. Men like Alfred who did not talk much made himself difficult to guess others. Even his best friends know he's a quiet person. His life that was too closed made him very mysterious.

"Where have you been?" Stanley asked Alfred who had just sat on his stool.

"Toilet."

How could Alfred avoid Stanley telling the truth. Only a thin grin was the answer the pale-skinned man gave.

"Good day!"

Until then Prof. Jones entered the room. Today the Prof. Jones will announce the results of the exam yesterday. And for the third time, the highest grade in the class is still occupied by Adam Brown. The dumb-faced man whose sitting position was isolated in the back there.

"Ck! He again" murmured Stanley in a debilitating tone.

And the others began to be untrue rumors about Adam.

Jessica, who was sitting in front of Stanley, turned her head. "You are so excessive. But this is not the first time. Don't tell me you don't know that freak always gets a scholarship?"

"How did you know?" Suddenly Evelyn was intrigued by their chat next to her.

"Just hear the gossip."

It's been months of a room with Adam. This time Evelyn was watching him. He knew the man was often in an all-out bully. And at that time Evelyn did not care much even though the perpetrator Kennard and his own friends.

"Good work, Mr. Brown's." Puji Prof's. Joneses. The only person to acknowledge Adam's brilliant achievements in the room.

While others do not want to care about Adam which for them is not important. If Adam did not have an IQ beyond the capacity of ordinary humans, they just kept thinking of him as if he never existed.

Adam Brown



Adam Brown is the only student to be left out on campus. He was always bullied because they thought it was like a virus that would transmit disease if approached. Starting from Adam who suddenly convulsed in the classroom until his mouth froth. He is more often down when spoken to, such as afraid to look into the eyes of his interlocutor. His manner of speaking also stuttered. Always alone. His appearance looks very old. Long-sleeved hem shirts that are often put in pants. Plus all the buttons on the hook up to the neck. Really geeky. Until anyone sees Adam passing by, they will throw bottles if they happen to be in their hands or around them.

Find a full-looking canteen. But Evelyn managed to find a seat that happened to be occupied by Adam.

Wouldn't it matter if he joined that secluded table?

"Hey. May I join? Looks like all the places are full...,"

Adam nodded after glancing at Evelyn once, then returned to his activities. Reading a thick book that became his routine in his spare time. Evelyn ate her lunch.

What became Adam's activities began to attract the attention of Evelyn to the point that she was not aware of him pensive long enough.

'Tackle anyway. But it looks neat too.And..., geeky?'

Too engrossed in his thoughts to the point of not realizing the man caught his gaze. Even his phone that had been ringing earlier was ignored.

"Excuse me..." Adam said timidly. Meant to awaken Evelyn who is still imagining. With a bit of courage Adam waved his hand slowly in front of Evelyn's face.

Evelyn was shocked. "I'm sorry" he said, suddenly misbehaving.

"Your phone-pop.., Beep," Adam stammered. He is like that sometimes.

Evelyn immediately raised her call and told the caller that she was going to the parking lot after finishing her lunch.

"Then I'll go first. Thanks for the seat." Evelyn acted as if they were already familiar. The girl was the only one who got Adam to interact so well.

Five minutes after Evelyn's departure. Adam is moving. But he was surprised by the presence of Kennard with his gang who suddenly confronted him. Instantly the entire Canteen became silent and cheered. As if waiting for entertainment that Kennard will show as usual.

"Something seems to be deliberately looking for trouble." Christian sounded heated up the situation back there.

Kennard chuckles cynically. "Please tell me you're tired of living. Then I'll gladly send you to hell."

In addition to the trembling, Adam did not dare flinch, making Kennard pull his collar rough—lag— until their noses barely touched.

"If I find you staring at him like that again, I swear I'll pry your eye seeds out to make a collection in my house." Kennard even demonstrated how his two fingers headed toward Adam's eyes were blocked by his glasses until he screamed in fear.

His body was almost stretched out when Kennard deliberately hit his shoulder to get away. And the others do the same thing, except Alfred.

Evelyn approached the three girls waiting outside the campus parking lot. Even though she's still upset with Casey, they still go home together.

"Where are the others?" ask Evelyn.

"So they followed you to the Canteen. Didn't see you?" It was Sunny who said just now.

Sunny Russell



Evelyn shook her head.

“That's them.” Jessica stated.

Jessica Robert's



Kennard realizes Evelyn is still keeping her distance from him. The man then took the girl a few meters away, and told the others that they would follow behind.

"OKAY. Had enough. Don't torture me anymore, Eve." As soon as Kennard pleads with his own eyes so they can get better again. "I'm really sorry. Eve... Oi. Please, give me a chance."

In the end Evelyn was willing to give her a chance, arguing that she still wanted a man in her life.

"Good girl." Kennard tucked the strands of his girl's hair behind his ears, then gave a kiss on the lips. "I won't be more careful."[]
