The Secret Love of School Thugs

Episode 55: Don't Know

Upon hearing the news, Lea couldn't even focus on attending the lesson hours of the day. He was still shocked by the news he heard. Of all the things she doesn't think that Rey has just dropped out of school and never told her those things at all.

Just since the fight that day, Lea thought at least Rey wouldn't be out of school all of a sudden but it turned out her guess was wrong. Rey was actually taking care of him who dropped out of school.

Until finally returning home from school, Lea headed to the extracurricular photography room. And of course the room is currently empty. Rey's shadow as if still left there, Lea remembered Rey who sometimes likes to complain or get angry at him while sitting and editing in front of the computer in the room.

If you think about it again of many these places are the places where they have the most memories.

"Why Rey?"

Leah was so frustrated thinking about these things. He was pensive in the room for quite a long time maybe more than an hour. Her phone starts ringing calls from home asking when she's coming home but Lia ignores it.

She felt like she couldn't be left like this at least she wanted to meet Rey. Only now did Lea realize, she had no idea where to look for Rey from. Lea finally realized that she knew nothing about Rey, not even knowing where the young man lived.

"Damn it, why am I so stupid?"

Once again he was pensive in the room until suddenly the door of the room was opened. At first Lea thought that coming to the room was Rey, but hope was only hope.

"Sir Teacher?"

"Lea? You're still here."

It was the Extraculular Instructor who rarely appeared.

"Just check a few things."

"You're still interested in taking part in this extracurricular?"

"Yes, that's right sir."

"Huh, but it's a pity that this extracurricular possibility will soon be dissolved because of the lack of members, you've heard not if Rey comes out?"

Lea who once again heard the bad news was even more speechless.

"But I'm really very sad about Rey's decision to finally get out of it. Maybe my opinion would seem strange if I told the other teachers it might be because of Rey's poor Academic score. But I believe everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. Including Rey, he himself from a family that is quite problematic and less capable, maybe because of the influence of the environment around him he became a little naughty, also he is not so good at Learning. But it turns out that behind all that he has a very good talent in Photography. Look, so many digs and trophies in this room? This is something he's collected since Class 1."

Lea then began to look around the room, there are rows of trophies and digali gifts from a photography competition. Whether it's just a small race until the national race. Lea started going around looking at those things one by one. Previously he had not really looked at everything meticulously just for a glance.

From the end, there is a champion of Favorite Champions, this looks the longest of all. There is also a photo of the scenery that seems to be included in the race. Lea was surprised to see that there was small writing under the photo, writing that might not be legible if not seen more closely.

'This is the first award, I was originally just a fad but seeing other people appreciate my photos, I'm so happy, is it okay to take more pictures? Next time I'll win.'

A writing that looks very childish and full of ambition. But from those simple words, Lea also understood how important Photography was to Rey, it might not be just a hobby, more than that, it was as if finding a place that cherished him in the midst of his difficult life.

Leah didn't really understand about such things because she didn't have them. But if you think about it again, Lea used to feel very frustrated and down because of all the problems, until she received a strange letter from someone. The words that encourage you are also someone who can listen to all his outpouring of heart. He was able to get up because of the tacit support of his virtual friend.

'Now it's my turn, isn't it? Maybe Rey is also very depressed when taking this decision after all,'

Lea remembered how excited Rey was to enter the University later in the photography department.

"Yes, Rey seems to like photography a lot."

The teacher then started showing an email about the winner's announcement. Lea then remembers the race, which Rey took part in by sending her a picture.

Jeez, Lea was really surprised not to think that the photo actually won. So Rey is that talented?

"Huh, if only Rey were still here, I'd have told the kid right away. Gifts will also be sent to the School in a few days.I don't really know the reason why he chose this school as his address, hahaha, even though it can be directly to his House."

Leah who heard that suddenly had an idea.

"Can you tell me when the gift has arrived?"

"uh? Why the hell?"

"If you let me later, you'll bring it to Rey."

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay."

And so it ended after a few days, when the gift came, Lea of course all of you asked where Rey lived, and went there.

It was a settlement on the slightly uncomfortable North Road. Lea stopped in front of the alley with uncomfortable dispersion.

"This isn't the first or second time I've been here and again I have a shortcut here."

Leah, who was carrying the gift set, immediately entered the street. Until he kept walking, and finally found a house in the middle of the settlement.

The place was, obviously worse than the other places, probably because the cleanliness there was not very good and was close to the landfill. There was a house that looked quite old there, no gate or anything, just a meter from the street.

"This is the location?"

Unfortunately, before Lea even knocked on the house, she heard some commotion from the side of the house. Perhaps out of curiosity, Lea slightly peeked out of the window.

Lea was quite surprised to see it, where Rey had just been kicked by a man. Lea also saw how Rey's face is currently quite bruised.

"My aircrafts! Where's the money you're hiding?" Said Uncle Rey was angry.

"What's? What money? It's my job, so whatever I want!"

"You really don't know yourself!"

A quarrel that Lea never thought or Lea expected.

If you think about it again, some rumors in the school about Rey, where the young man often looks battered like a fight. Don't tell me, some of those rumors weren't because Rey was actually fighting?

Because of his uncle?

Lea initially believed enough that Rey liked to fight, but after getting to know the young man more deeply, Rey was not a person who likes to fight just that people tend to make Rey a target of fighting.

Lea suddenly had her heart filled with anger after seeing all this.
