sound slap.the eyes of people in the locker room immediately look for the direction of the sound.
They were surprised to see Nora slap Bryan.
Bryan is a college idol who holds a black belt, a national champion among universities in Modena.
The incident began when Bryan accepted a betting challenge from his friends to date whoever the woman who first entered the cafeteria this morning.
Nora comes at the wrong time.at first he is very happy Bryan approached and greeted him.but when he found out that he was only used as betting material Nora was very upset and left Bryan.
Bryan chases him to the locker room and kisses him. Getting such treatment Nora's unstoppable emotions he slaps Bryan.
"*****.. How dare you slap me!" Bryan grabbed Nora by the neck and pushed her until Nora hit the locker.
Brak!
"i'll make you sorry" Bryan said.
Nora grimaced in pain trying to take off Bryan's grip which made it hard to breathe.
August who happened to be in the same room did not accept Nora was hurt in front of his eyes.
He jumped and kicked Bryan.
Bryan realized there was movement from his left he released his grip.but too late August's kick had landed on his stomach.he bounced to his head hitting the glass door behind him.
Prangs!
Bryan immediately got up, He found the one who kicked him was August standing in front of him.
"YOU..!"
bryan's reddened eyes looked at August with a look of wanting to kill.
silence. all tense.
"is this early in the morning you're making a fuss?"
mrs voice. Parker broke the silence.
no one answered.
"this idiot slipped and then hit his head on the door." August replied, pointing at Bryan.
All people except Mrs. Parker is stunned to hear August refer to Bryan as the fool.
Bryan held back the fury of wanting to tear August's mouth apart.
"Is that so, Bryan?!" ask Mrs. Parker.
"This floor is slippery, I accidentally fell down" Bryan replied with clenched hands, his eyes still staring at August.
"Alright, disperse you classes will start!" mrs. Parker.
They disperse, but in each of their minds they know this is not over, August is digging his own grave.
Bryan approached August.
"i know you, the poor boy who always hides in Rafael's armpits, you don't know who you're dealing with, it's not over" Rafael said, pointing at August's face.
"That's it..!" August says.
finally Bryan left the locker room with a turbulent anger.so far no one dared to threaten or hit him. But today he was beaten, humiliated and humiliated by the poor boy named August.
For August previously very much avoided confrontation with anyone.what else had to deal with Bryan.he prefers to avoid.but the experience of life is wisdom, will influence someone to take a stand. likewise August he had twice seen death approaching him.There was nothing more terrifying than death.
August approached Nora sitting with a sob.
"You all right? ask August.
"I'm fine, thank you for helping me." Nora wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry I got you involved" Nora added.
"no need to hesitate, you have helped me before, I'm damned if you see you hurt and I do nothing" said August.
"all right, I have to tidy up before class starts" Nora said.
Nora leaves August.
Aira, who had been watching the incident, walked up to August and leaned next to August's locker.
"Today you have a new enemy, tell me how you're going to fight that black drunk?" ask Aira.
"i don't know" replied August closing his locker and leaning in.
"you'd better pay me your debt before he kills you!" aira smiled.
"debt? what debt?" ask August confused.
"Didn't you promise to show me the beautiful beaches of this town?" said Aira.
"this weekend I couldn't, I went with Julia to the Royan woods" August said.
August thought for a moment.
"well" replied August.
"by the way, why are you going to the Royan forest, do you want to hunt or just make love in the wild?" tanya Aira teases.
"it's none of your business" August said.
just imagining it makes August anxious.
the bell rang and they rushed to class.
A few hours later, following the entire class schedule today, August sent Julia a text message that she had gone home first, after which she headed to the parking area where Aira was waiting.
"You drive." Aira handed over the car keys.
August receives the keys without saying much, and they leave.
"where are we going?" ask Aira.
"Vienna pink beach west of the city is about two hours drive, sleep I'll wake you when I get there" August said.
"i'm not sleepy, hey stop by the clothing store and supermarket first." pinta Aira.
"You want to buy clothes?" ask August.
"of course, we go unprepared."
"I want to buy a bikini" said Aira.
August silently imagines Aira in a bikini.
"what are you thinking?" tanya Aira saw August speechless.
"Oh. no. I'm remembering where the store is selling clothes around this area" August said waking up from his daydream.
They finally found the store after sorting out and choosing Aira to pay for the bikini she bought and then they went to the supermarket not far from the store, then continued their journey back.
"who do you live with, by the way?" ask August.
"i live alone, my uncle visits the house occasionally" replied Aira.
"What about your parents?" ask August.
"there's nothing in this town, only you and my uncle I know." replied Aira.
August felt sadness on Julia's face.
"Aira.., I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked" said August looking regretful.
"it's okay, I'm glad you asked." a sincere smile was seen on Aira's face.
They finally reached their destination because not a weekend not many people who visit this beach.
"wait a minute I'll change my clothes" Aira said.
a few minutes later. Aira came out of the dressing room wearing the bikini she had just bought.
"How do I look? do you like it?" ask Aira.
August gulps down looking at the appearance of Aira before him. Aira using a monokini model bikini in red looks contrast with her white smooth skin, her chest although not as big as Julia still looks plump.
"Hey I asked, why are you quiet?" aira said pinching August's hand.
"you are amazing" said August.
Aira's face flushed.
"i'm hungry" said Aira spoiled.
"Alright, we eat first" said August who heard his stomach start making strange noises.
They entered the restaurant, ordered grilled fish and other seafood.
"Hey have you ever thought about practicing martial arts?" ask Aira.
"no, I never thought about it, but after this morning's incident, I'll consider it" Julia said.
"what do you think would happen if Julia found out about our date?" ask Aira.
August chokes at hearing a random question from Aira.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, I won't tell him." Aira laughed seeing August feeling depressed.
Previously August did not consider the thing to do at this time was dating, he only accompanied Aira he thought.but after Aira raised the issue.he began to think what has been done at this time.
He went with Aira to buy clothes, then eat together and look forward to the beautiful moment of the beach at sunset.especially if not dating? August thinks.
Suddenly someone patted August on the shoulder and said, "Is he your new boyfriend?"
August awoke from his daydream.he looked, August was surprised.
"Sheel.."
