Re-Investigation: Because You're Young

*Message ringtone.
Message from Karina:
“Is that right, you took a long time off? Why now? I know you just got home from overseas service, but why? Is this because of that? I want to talk to you. I hope you can meet me.”
After reading the message, I put my phone in my pants pocket and leaned my body against the long chair and saw a very clear sky.
Karina, I can't see you right now, as long as you know. I took my leave because of that. I don't want Jamila's death to be in vain, without anyone knowing why she did that. If not me, then who else? You know what, the top brass in the police have closed the case. I'm so sick of hearing that. So, this is my best option to investigate Jamila's death.
After saying that in my mind, I picked up my phone and replied to that message, “Sorry, I can't meet you now!”
After a while, a message ringtone appeared on my phone. It was a message from Karina. He replied, “Why? Where are you now? I'm going to your place now. We can talk if you need me.”
He was too worried about my condition. Even if I continued to ignore him, he would still be like that and look at me as the person he needed the most. But then again, for now, I have to do this myself. I can't involve him. His job means more than mine. I can't burden him for the second time. I don't want his career ruined because of me. I already feel like I'm the man who's been weighing the most on his life all along.
I chose to ignore the message from him and pay attention to the students who passed by during the break.
Not too far from my right, there is a field used for exercise. It was outdoor (outdoor). There were some students who were playing football, and there were also two adult men who gave instructions to them. Perhaps the two men were the coaches of each camp. And maybe there is a friendly match between this school and another school.
The spectators who were partly girls were screaming hysterically when a guy managed to score. They were happy, it was a joy from them, but I felt it was a joy when your idol managed to show his prowess. It felt like their screams were for that person alone, whereas the one playing there was not just him.
When I looked carefully at the face of the boy, who managed to get the screams of the girls, I knew him. He is: he is:
Name: Kalvin Nelson;
Height: 175.2 cm;
Grade: 2-2;
Date of Birth: 11 January 1999;
Hobbies: Football;
Likes: Hearing women scream, tiramisu, chocolate gifts from women, and steak;
Dislikeness: Strawberries, basketball, enemy teams that have no respect, and expired food and drink.
Ideals: Become a professional soccer player and play in the English League.
Characteristics: Having well-combed brown hair, a princely face, favored by many girls, white, helpful to teachers and other students, and authoritative;
Criminal record: None;
Reference: Kalvin Nelson was once accused of being involved in a pub fight and allegedly molesting employees there. But after the investigation was completed, he was found not guilty and successfully demanded back to the accuser. Many are on his side because he is a good guy and is known to be very friendly. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be involved in such things.
I managed to get the data and calm down from Anton. He's been figuring out who's gonna be my classmate. He was very skilled at finding out before acting. She was like a manager who arranged for an actress who would do her job. So, I've got the data on some of the students who are in this school. He helped me a lot as a friend and as a man older than me.
“Kyaah... Kalvin, you're so great.”
Their screaming sounds had made me feel a little bored. I felt like I was in the middle of a concert that I accidentally went to. If only they knew that the one in their midst was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to go home as soon as possible, they would be screaming louder.
I'm here because someone called me. I was asked by him to come here and wait for his arrival. He said he would order food in the cafeteria. I felt like I was being bullied by him, and strangely, I obeyed all his words. Well, maybe because I'm a new student at this school. It's perfectly natural for me to be bullied.
So far, I can think positively. The girl who told me to come here, to talk to me, might have been aiming that way. He didn't mean to prank me. I can't think badly of him either. After all, I don't know him yet and vice versa. Perhaps this is what is called: an introduction to the way of speaking.
After waiting for 10 minutes and facing a difficult situation where the girls were increasingly screaming hysterically, she finally came up with a plastic bag that likely contained her food.
The girl who had a cheerful face and short shoulder-length black hair, white skin, legs covered in black stockings, and those two beautiful eyes sat beside me.
‘”Iya, you've made me wait a long time here.”
He was surprised to hear my answer. He covered his mouth with both hands and his eyes glared at me.
“Is that true?”
He tried asking to confirm it, and I nodded.
“Aiishh..”.
He looks disappointed in himself. He seemed to be thinking for a moment by looking down. After that, he looked at me and lowered his head a few times and said, “I'm sorry! I-i'm sorry! I shouldn't have gone to the toilet. I should have gone straight to the cafeteria and come here. I'm sorry!”
He apologized repeatedly, and I could only pay attention to him.
There is a plastic bag that contains the food. There were three loaves of bread and two drinks beside them. I thought maybe food and drink were for me. Part of it is for me. So, as I was thinking like that, I picked up one loaf of bread and a canned drink that was nearby.
“Thank you.”
At least I think he's buying me now. He bought this for me and did this because I am a new student who should be treated well. And I thought maybe this was a change in attitude between teenagers in my school days and now. They are much better and pay attention to new things than they were in my day. In other words, the youth of today are the best of the times before them.
I thought like that because Karina thinks like that. He told me that he had been helped by a young woman. But when I asked her about the identity of the young man who helped her, to thank her directly, she kept it a secret from me. From that moment on, I had the same thought as him, who thought that the youth of today are good people.
“...”
He looked at me in confusion. He saw me eating his bread. He did not turn his eyes away from me. After a while, he smiled and said, “Sama-sama. You're a new student, so the bread and drinks are for you. Hehehe.”
As expected, Karina's thinking about today's youth is correct.
