Chapter 17 (2/2)

'Ah! Before I taste your cougar, I won't bring her here,” Troll pretended to threaten.

”Weyh, that's no fair! You've built up the image of Mila Kunis in my head,” KJ retorted.

”No. no. Give the cougar first! Musketeer Code weyh,” Troll reminded.

”I'm going to shower,” at the moment, Gibbs immediate excused himself… when talking about the one rule. The rule that he broke.

During the a.s.sembly that morning, Fara made a few announcements - and one of them was the cancellation of the security system contract change. In other words, the guard company won't be changed.

”You don't have to go through the trouble of getting in her pants to make her bend, bro,” KJ had the time to poke fun at Gibbs. Gibbs smiled - mischievously, sinisterly and filled with secrets. Fara's talisman was tied neatly in his left wrist.

AT noon, on the way back to the academic block, Gibbs' steps was suddenly stopped by someone.

Deepa.

What does this girl want now…

Gibbs cursed in his mind for not walking with KJ and Troll earlier, or not following Ray to the auditorium. He thought to meet Fara before evening prep started. The heart yearned. During recess earlier, he only sent an SMS, teasing:

Guard company isn't changing, let's fly this evening to go for a date? =p

”Gibbs, I know about Ray!” without any opening, without anything… Deepa exclaimed. The more I see her, the more distasteful she becomes. What an attention-seeker.

”Know what?” Gibbs asked while continuing his steps. Trying to clearly show her that he wasn't that keen on chatting with her.

”I know about Ray getting beaten up by Sofil. I saw,” she said.

Gibbs steps paused, ”You saw?”

Deepa nodded. ”At that time, I went back to the auditorium since I left something. I saw Sofil pus.h.i.+ng Ray inside the control room. I peeked in, seeing him kicking Ray,” told Deepa.

”You saw… but then you did nothing?” Gibbs asked. He knew that it wasn't her fault even if she did nothing. Thinking about it, what could she even do? It can't be she should protect Ray? But Gibbs deliberately said it. He wanted to show her that instead of being helpful, she's just troubling people.

Deepa paused. ”At that time, I can't do anything. But… but afterward. I can!” she said enthusiastically.

”What do you want to do?” Gibbs asked, continuing his walk.

Deepa tailed Gibbs like she was waddling. ”My big brother is in a gang. His gang can go beat up that Sofil back,” she suggested.

Gibbs was nervous when he heard her brother was in a gang. Don't ask what kind of gang. It's definitely not a stamp-collecting gang. But Gibbs still pretended to be unfazed. ”No need, Deepa. Ray doesn't want this to become big.”

”You’re willing to let Ray get beaten just like that, the doing nothing?”

Wah! Are you're teaching me camaraderie now?

Gibbs stopped and looked at Deepa. His left hand pulling his hair back - his style when feeling that there's something troubling him. ”Look, Deepa. I know ray way better than you do, okay? I know how to handle this. Just drop it.”

Firm. He can't be bothered. And I can't wait to go for a date with your roommate, Deepa.

Gibbs went by, without realising that Deepa became conscious of something.

Heh heh heh. What did Deepa realise? Have any guesses?

Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
