EPSILON

SIXTEEN

-ROBIN-

"Robin Spark, is that jealousy I am seeing right now?"

I mentally made a tsk sound as I remembered Czech's words earlier that day. I leaned into my seat and pretended that I was listening to the teacher though my mind was flying somewhere.

Biting my lower lip and playing with my ballpen, I groaned under my breath from all the irritations and frustrations that are eating my nerves.

I knew that I was slow in figuring out my feelings but yes, I think I was jealous of that witch.

Jealous to the extent of calling Czech Romanov MINE and my property!

I cupped my forehead from disbelief. From my own foolishness.

Well, I couldn't help it.

I and my wolf were so upset seeing another woman hitting on him. Couldn't blame myself for it was the first time I felt possessive and I couldn't control it.

Those roses that the Epsilon gave me last Saturday meant something. He was trying to tell me that, 'he maybe wasn't sure yet what he's feeling for me, but he likes me enough to give me flowers.

And to be honest, I like him too and although there's no exchange of words between us what we felt for each other was obvious.

However...

I sighed deeply.

It was not that simple to build a relationship with him at that time for I was hiding something big that might ruin everything.

Yeah, I knew that and I want to curse at myself for making our situation more awkward.

I don't know how to face him after what happened. I also don't want to push what's in between us cause I know that he's just confused.

He thought I was a man but truth was, I was a woman. It's not easy on his side cause he's not even gay.

But that's not the whole point.

What I am scared to happen is when he finds out the truth. He'll hate me for sure for deceiving him, his friends, and his family.

My jaw and my hand clenched and with that disturbing thing on my mind, I made a quick decision.

I don't want to lead him and myself any further to this craziness. The earlier I avoid and stop it, the better. I couldn't have a relationship with him or with any man so I better stop this nonsense!

Feeling like being stabbed by thousands of knives, I sealed my decision and threw my gaze outside the window.

-SKIP-

I chose not to go to the locker room as the last class ended. I don't want to face Dark Prism's Epsilon for the time being cause all the thinking made my energy drained. I just put my books inside of my bag and thought of bringing them home for my assignments. After that, I speed out of the room to avoid Alicia too.

My mom texted me that she'd be late so I'd just wait for her at the parking lot. I jogged down the first floor and went out only to be greeted by strong winds.

I sighed and ran my fingers on my hair. I was about to step out when I halted as I noticed Calvin.

"Calvin!" I called out and marched towards him but it seemed like he didn't hear me.

He walked directly to the side of the school building that made me halted. What made me frowned deep was when Gavino and two other students approached and dragged him with them to the back of the school.

Suspicion and worries filled my chest.

Where the hell are those shitheads taking him?

Damn it.

Are they bullying Calvin again!

My teeth gritted as hatred towards Gavino and his band of moronic friends rose to my head.

Those dumbass!

Calv was a sweet harmless boy, a good friend. I couldn't understand why some retards tried to break him. He didn't deserve it even a bit!

'If they hurt him, I'm so gonna kick their ass!' I grunted mentally. I ran and followed them and as I turned into the corner, no one was there.

Fuck!

Where are they! I have to find my friend and beat the hell out of those brainless bullies!

Something clicked in my head and ran again to the abandoned space at the back of the school. That's the only place I knew where no one could easily find them.

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

"CALVIN!" I called out my friend's name as I finally found him.

Just like what I thought, they brought him to the back of our school where all the old benches, chairs, and cabinets were thrown. And what shocked me was seeing Calvin's wrists and legs being pinned into the ground by those sick morons.

Gavino was on top of him and he was trying to undo his pants. They all looked at me with wide startled eyes and cursed while I froze on my spot from the scene that I had witnessed in front of me.

"R-Robin," Calvin mumbled my name and I saw his tears fell on his face out of helplessness.

It's like an invisible hand squeezed my heart hard as I trembled in mixed emotions.

"You fuckers, get off him!" I snarled. My teeth barred and my claws extracted as I saw red.

Before I could stop myself and my seething inner wolf, my body moved on its own. I was about to attack those bastards when someone suddenly appeared behind and wrapped his arms around my waist stopping me.

"No! Let me go kill them!" I tried to yank free from whoever it was.

"Easy, Spark," a familiar cold voice replied and tightened his hold on me more.

"I.Said.Let. Me. Go!" I growled in anger. I knew that it was my wolf who's trying to take over but I also wanted to rip that son of b***h who hurt my friend into tiny little pieces.

But it's impossible to do that for the owner of those arms who's none other but Czech Romanov was too strong for me to break free.

"Shh, calm down. We'll handle this," he spoke gently into my ear to calm me down and it's quite effective for my wolf to hide back to the darkest part of my mind.

Greco and Aphro appeared on my sides looking pissed and angry. They roared in sync and ran towards Gavino and his band of evil buddies.

Czech pulled his arm back that made me gasped and whimpered.

"Stay here," he said and my eyes widened as he joined his friend and right in front of me, all hell broke loose.
