The girl wasn’t even listening to what Nolan was saying. She didn’t care about his explanation at all. Instead, she was busy digging through her bag like she was searching for something important inside. Nolan just stood there, watching her with disbelief, wondering what exactly she thought she would find that would magically prove he was a thief.

She suddenly stopped checking and marched right back up to him, her face full of irritation, and before Nolan could even prepare himself, she poked his chest hard with her finger.

“You’re very lucky that nothing was missing from my bag,” she snapped, her voice loud enough for everyone around to hear. “Or else you would have regretted your actions today. I would’ve made sure you rot in jail and pay for what you did, you pervert and slow thief. Nonsense.”

She spat the words at him then turned around and stormed back into the restaurant without even looking at him again.

Nolan just stood there, completely dumbfounded as he watched her leave. He

    But all Cole wanted to tell Nolan was that Gabriel’s girlfriend had brought some of her friends along too, and they were all coming to join them at the restaurant. She said she didn’t want to come alone and that she would feel more comfortable if she saw familiar faces.Nolan just sighed and told Cole that there was no problem. They could all come. After ending the call, he walked back inside to wait for them to arrive. He sat down, leaning back in the chair, his jaw still stinging from earlier.While he was waiting, Fiona kept trying to talk to him again, asking him what happened to his face and why his clothes were looking rough, but Nolan didn’t give her any attention. He didn’t even look at her. He just stared at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for the others to walk in.A few minutes later, Cole was the first person to walk inside. He spotted Nolan and went straight to him, breathing a little heavily because he rushed in. He began explaining that Gabriel and his girlfrien

    Nolan knew that at this point, he had no choice. If he didn’t fight back now, the man was not just going to beat him up, he was going to escape with the stolen bag too. And then everything Nolan did, chasing him and almost breaking his own leg running would be for nothing. He couldn’t allow that.So he forced himself to gather all the strength still left in his body. He pushed the man again, this time stronger, fueled by frustration and adrenaline, and the man fell to the ground. Nolan didn’t wait and started to kick him, again and again, the man trying to protect himself with his arms, rolling to the side, begging for help. Nolan didn’t even hear what he was saying properly. He was too angry. But then he finally stopped because he didn’t want to kill the guy. The moment he paused, the man quickly took advantage of it. He scrambled to his feet and ran as fast as he could.Nolan stood there, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling and for a split second, he thought about cha

    Nolan went to the bathroom to ease himself and when he was done, his plan was to just step out and get some fresh air, avoiding Fiona and waiting for Gabriel, his girlfriend and Cole to show up. He came out of the bathroom area to wash his hands and while he was washing his hands, there was a man next to him who was also washing his hands.The both of them made eye contact in the mirror and Nolan could just tell that there was something suspicious about him. The man was dressed in all black, even his jeans were black, he had dark sunglasses on his face inside the restaurant, and he even had a hoodie pulled up. Everything about him just screamed something was off. Something about the way he stood and the way he watched Nolan made Nolan feel off too.The man turned to him and Nolan could tell that there was a glare behind the sunglasses.“Can I know why you’re staring at me?” the man asked in a gruff, deep voice.Nolan quickly shook his head and looked away.“I’m sorry about that…” he t

    “Oh, yeah, I forgot my phone, and I had to quickly go and get it. I told them not to wait because it looked like Gabriel was in a hurry, and I didn’t want to be the one to delay him,” Fiona lied as she explained to him with her usual dramatic voice, sounding like she was actually being considerate and nice. Nolan wasn’t even paying attention to what she was saying. He just stood there, staring at her and wondering for the millionth time why Fiona was always left alone with him. Why did she always somehow end up beside him? Why was he always the unlucky one that had to deal with her? He sighed quietly as he watched her keep talking, already feeling tired before the day had even started properly.“I was hoping that you’ll still be here so that we can go to the airport together, and luckily for me, you’re still here,” Fiona said, laughing like she said something funny.Nolan just stared at her, not saying anything. He honestly didn’t even know what to say or how to respond to her. He fe

    “You’re really being dramatic, Gabriel. You’re not going to bash the car,” Nolan said, rolling his eyes and wondering why Gabrel would even think like that. At the same time he knew that if he ends up bashing the car, it wouldn't be a problem because he can just get a new one. He tossed the key to Gabriel, and Gabriel barely caught it with both hands. “Just go and pick up your girlfriend.”Fiona had already walked up to the boys at that moment, a bright smile on her face las she had no idea what was going on. If she had heard what Gabriel had said about her, she definitely wouldn't be smiling. She said hi to Gabriel and Nolan, but the reply she got back was half-hearted, and dry, almost like their minds were somewhere else when it wasn’t. Nolan didn’t even look at her when he said his own greetings. He legit ignored her completely like she was invisible. “Okay, I’ll meet you at the airport then. Let me just find a ride at the front of the school,” he said, not bothering to wait for
