Chapter 30: So I Will Be Able To Protect You

"It seems insincere, but okay, you're welcome," he replied, making me roll my eyes at him.

He walked closer to me but stopped abruptly when he noticed he was getting too close. He placed both hands in his pocket before gazing at the sky. I felt like a fire he always avoided. I really don't know why he keeps doing that.

"At least you know," I replied to him.

Instead of being offended, he laughed at what I said.

"Aren't you tired of being nice? Will it hurt you if you cut classes for the day? Your reason would be valid anyway," Ash asked.

He said that because I still have plans to go back to school even after what happened.

"It will hurt me because it will affect my grades negatively, Ash. And what? Valid? Unless someone dies or I die, no reason is valid enough to be absent."

Rich people don't understand why we care about our grades so much. For the poor like me, that's our only hope of escaping this cycle. The cycle of being poor and oppressed by others. This is the only key we have to reach the success we want.

"Does it matter if I'm here, though?" he asked me, making me turn to look at him.

I crossed my arms over my chest before facing him. "I just said I needed a ride earlier. I don't need a companion."

"Tell that to yourself when you're no longer crying in front of me." Although his response was harsh, his voice was serious. I couldn't tell if he was angry with me or something else.

But if that's the case, why would he be mad at me?

Ah, is it because of Haze?

"F. uck." I couldn't help but curse when he threw a white handkerchief at me. "Where are your manners, Ash? If you're going to hand me something, do it properly."
