Chapter 8 New look yet attractive

I quickly approached them and approached Theon. Oh my god! I touched his face and looked at every corner of his face. He had only two bruises, on the side of the lips and the other one was near the eye. I removed his broken glass and then faced Chloe and her friends. They raised an eyebrow at me so I came even closer.

"What are you doing? Do you think it's funny? Huh?" I asked her with annoyance in my voice. She really getting into my nerves.

She just smiled. "Why? Are you that worried about him?" She burst out laughing. "You step on the rules, Scarlet."

I crossed my arms. "I didn't." My simple response was. "You are asking me if I'm worried about him?" I laughed. "Of course, he's my friend since now. So, don't bully him again."

She took a deep breath and then took a step between us. She looked at me sharply. "I won't... if you promise me you will leave this school."

She raised an eyebrow at me when I couldn't answer, I can't leave school but I can't let her bullying him again. I knew Theon was her target because we were always talking and it was my fault. I hope I just avoided this bug. They would have left when I spoke.

"I refuse." My simple answer was that they all looked at me at the same time. I looked at Chloe. "If you really want to fight with me, I'm free. I will fight you anytime you want."

She was shocked by what I said, apparently not expecting me to fight her. It's been a long time since we last fought physically and every time she challenges me I just avoided her because I don't want any more trouble. But if until now she still challenges me and she doesn't stop bullying students, especially Theon to caught my attention, I will never back down from her. I approached her without seeing any reaction on her face.

"Don't you expect my answer to be?" I laughed out loud. "Why? Are you scared?" I asked.

She grinned as her arms crossed. "No! Why would I be scared of you? Huh?"

I put my left arm in front of my chest and placed my other elbow there compassionately I held the end of my hair and then looked at the ceiling. "Maybe, because you are afraid that I might scratch your face?" I answered him.

She pursed her lips disgustedly. I don't know but I really want to just grab her hair and pull them out from her scalp. But of course, I won't do that. It's nauseous!

I was slightly surprised when she pushed one of my shoulders with just her one finger. I looked at her with a frown.

"I will never be scared or frightened of you. You are just a bitch that I can knock you down anytime." She stared at me before they finally left.

I just shrugged and then approached Theon again who was now sitting in his chair. He looked up at me as I went in front of him. I stared at him intently because I wanted to show that he really couldn't beat us. I looked at my friends and winked at them. They know now wha to do so I will do have a punishment because of this. I let out a deep breath before taking his hand and pulling him out of the school.

I don't know why I'm doing this but I just want him not to be bullied by anyone because of his weird appearance. Honestly, he can look like that, it's just that most people don't notice that because of the glasses he wears and his weird clothes. Even her socks are also weird, like a child because there is still a design. Some just laugh at him while others don't care.

My eyes widened when I saw our car delivering me opposite the gate. Inside it was the kuya driver who was busy texting. I just sighed before opening the car door and letting Theon in before me.

"What are we doing? Where are we going?" Theon immediately asked.

I ignored him, instead I took the towel back and handed it to him.

"Where's the driver?" He quickly turned to me causing his eyes to widen.

"W-wait... What are you doing here?" He looked at Theon. "Who is this man, Scarlet?" My kuya driver asked in shock.

I just blushed. "He's just my classmate and I'm just helping him because they bully him." I turned to Theon for a moment. "Let's go to the mall."

"Wow!" He said, still shocked. "You're not coming in? Your daddy will scold us!"

"He won't know if you don't say it. Will you say it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Besides, grandpa won't report me to daddy. I'm sure of it!"

He just took a deep breath before turning around and driving the car away. He could have done nothing but follow my wishes. Funny because destiny seems to me to agree. We got to the mall quickly and I expected to be crowded.

We went to a store that I knew had a bathroom where you could take a shower.

"Go and take a shower there and don't worry, there's a shampoo and soap you can use. It's new." I grabbed the towel wrapped around him. "This is your towel you can use. Okay?" He nodded.

I was about to leave when he grabbed my arm. I turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"Why should I take a shower here? Where are you going? I don't have any clothes." He asked me nervously.

I removed his hand from my arm and then smiled. "Don't worry, I will just buy new clothes for you." I smelled him. "And you really should take a shower, you smell bad."

He didn't do anything when my Kuya driver and I left. I took the older driver with me so that I could buy men's clothes with him. We go to one of the famous brands of clothes and quickly choose. I'm not sure if it fits him but what the older driver said seems to fit. It's embarrassing to admit but... I also bought his... underware. It's up to him whether it fits or not.

"There are so many of them. Is it his birthday and are these your gifts?" Kuya driver suddenly asked when we were coming back.

I shook my head. "I don't even know his birthday. I'm just helping him because the student always bullied him because of his weird looks. What are the students saying about him."

He nodded slowly. "Ahh! I get it. That's why you bought so many clothes for him."

I looked at him and the paper bags he was carrying. I noticed that the tone of his speech was different, as if he meant something different from what he said. I looked again at my purchases. It's not that many, maybe it's just about 20 paper bags and it contains suit clothes. I also bought him a new uniform that would really suit him.

As we approached I stopped, frowned and stared at myself excessively. I see him on the glass wall and it's really... annoying! I immediately ran and then turned my back on these flirtatious women. Seriously looking, you'd think they'd eat Theon alive. I looked badly at Theon and then slapped his arm.

"Ouch! What's wrong? I took a bath like what you said," He said innocently.

"Were you born only yesterday and you don't seem to know anything yet?" He was obviously confused when I said. "Theon, the staff here are women and you actually came out topless!"

He seemed to gradually understand what I said so I immediately handed him the paper bag I was holding and pushed him into the bathroom. "Get in there and get dressed quickly."

"And you guys..." I faced the staff while pointing one king finger at them. "Why are you looking at him like that?" I asked.

They shook their head at once. "Nothing ma'am."

"We were really taken away. Suddenly he came out topless."

"We turned around ma'am but he confronted us because he wanted to ask something."

I frowned. "What did he ask you?"

They looked at each other. "If we knew you and we said yes."

"After that ma'am, he asked us if you have a boyfriend now or if you had a boyfriend."

I averted my eyes but I immediately returned. "Really?" They nodded.

Exactly the release of Theon who immediately smiled at me. I looked at what she was wearing and I couldn't help but marvel at the suit I bought for her. I looked up at his face and noticed that he was still wearing his glasses. I let out a deep breath before approaching him.

"Why are you still wearing that glass? Take it off." Command I say.

His forehead furrowed. "W-what...I can't!"

I raised an eyebrow. "And why? You should take it off."

He stared at me for a long time and then let out a deep breath and then explosively removed his eyeglasses. Wow! Did he really rolled his eyes at me? I ignored that. I just smiled at him as he finally lowered the mirror, now, I can't help but marvel at his appearance. He's very... handsome.

"Hey! Why are you so stunned?" He suddenly asked why I went back to court.

"Stunned? Me? Tsk! Not so!" I just averted my eyes and then turned to approach Kuya driver.

I heard her grin so I turned to her and looked at her wickedly. But he just shook his head and then adjusted his clothes and then looked in the mirror. I went to the side behind him and looked at him from the reflection in the mirror. I smiled.

"Didn't I buy something for you? I'm very good at choosing and guessing your size. It fits you perfectly." I promise.

He smiled. "Yeah! Even the underware you bought fitted perfectly." His smile before has been replaced by a grin now.

I just raised my eyebrows at him and then lightly slapped his arm until he turned around. I feel like my face is red, like a tomato. Embarrassing! I thought that he wouldn't wear any underware after he took a bath, so even though I was embarrassed and my face was red in front of the cashier at that store, I still bought it.

I approached the door. "Let's go! We're going to eat, I'm hungry." I went out and they didn't wait any longer.

They caught up with me immediately even though I was walking too fast, because their legs were long. While I was looking for something to eat and I immediately saw so I immediately ran to you, leaving them talking.

It's not an expensive restaurant, it's just a Mcdo. I entered with a smile and they followed. I ordered while the two of them were sitting in the seat just next to the glass wall.

"I thought we would eat at an expensive restaurant." Theon whispered and immediately averted his gaze.

I laughed. "It's okay," he looked at me, "But you're free."

"Don't do it! I told you, here we go, Mcdo is delicious, isn't it Kuya?" He turned to Kuya driver who was eating fast.

He looked up at us. "Ah! Yes!" He said before returning to his food.

We also started eating while Theon was talking about his experiences when he was young, as well as the older driver. I just laugh out loud because of them, but I'll admit that at these times I'm really happy. True!

"Also, did you know?" We shook our heads. "Mama was very angry with me because what she was cooking caught fire. She left for a while even though she knew I was there, she even told me not to touch what she was cooking. But because it was great I was naughty, I wanted to put out the fire but the opposite happened. The fire got even stronger so I hid under the table and then mama came just in time, but she couldn't get close yet, the cook exploded." Theon's story.

"Did you know what food she was cooking then?" I asked immediately.

He shook his head. "No. I can't see because I was little then."

I just laughed because of their stories. I don't want to, because my stomach might hurt even more. We hastened our meal and then left there. We went around the whole mall first because we couldn't enter anymore. And because I was in a good mood and happy with what I saw, we played there on the playground. We played basketball and Theon had the highest score of the three of us. We still played a lot that wasn't that childish, that's just right.

We drove Theon to their house when we thought we were going home, me, I wanted to rest because I was tired. When I got home, I couldn't eat because I quickly fell asleep and then I still felt full.

The next day, I woke up really early, I also took a quick shower and ate and then left even earlier. Theon and I talked about meeting on the rooftop today.

"It's early. Are you leaving right away?" Kuya driver asked.

"Yes! Let's hurry!" I said and then got in the car and left.

When I got to school, there weren't many students. When I got to the rooftop, I immediately saw Theon leaning his elbows on the railings so I touched him with a smile when I got closer.

"You're already here, huh?" I looked around him. "Where's the paper bag?" I looked up at him and frowned. "And why are you still wearing that. I threw it away yesterday, right?"

He nodded and then smiled. "But I need to wear this."

I approached her and slowly removed her mirror. "Seeing your handsome face without this eyeglasses much better." I hid his glasses in my bag. "Don't wear it."

He stared at me for a long time and then nodded. I smiled. "I didn't bring the paper bag because I wore the uniform you bought yesterday."

He removed his jacket and I saw the uniform I had bought him. It just fit him and the polo is not that long, unlike his old uniform. His previous uniform was long and obviously old or used with a fringe at the end of the polo hem.

I smiled and then took the comb and gel out of my bag. I made him sit on the chair and combed his hair, his hair was soft but long so it covered his eyes a bit.

I fixed his hair so he will look like a new student again and I also put a little tint on his lips so that his lips are a bit red, I didn't put powder on hid and so on because he don't need something like that, like complexion rich.

"I'm done!" I took my mirror out of the bag and presented it to him. "Look at your face... you are so handsome."

When he saw himself, his reaction did not change at all. I guess I'm the only one who's excited about it. "I didn't know that you hide this handsome face," I added more.

He grinned and stood up. "Am I handsome?" I nodded while smiling. "Then, you have a crush on me now?"

I was surprised by his question so I immediately slapped him on the arm. "Wow! You are feeling!" I laughed and then grabbed my bag.

He laughed causing me to stare. "Just kidding!" I went back to court when he spoke so I immediately turned around and walked away.

I had not yet reached the door so I stopped and faced him. "Stop laughing like that! I might fall for you, it's dangerous." He stopped so I laughed. "Just kidding, too."

I went straight out and he immediately followed me but he became quiet but I didn't pay any attention to him. When we got down and got to the field, the students, especially the women, were looking at him and their eyes were almost out staring at him. I just smiled as I walked straight.

Suddenly we stopped because of the coming floods. I expected her to show up again, but what I didn't expect was that her saliva was almost dripping from her gaping and staring at Theon. I think she was already nailed to her stand while still staring at the man next to me.

"Yah! Don't stare at him like that!" I shouted as Theon blocked.

She just badly turned to me and pushed me slightly then faced Theon. How would she react when she found out that Theon Jayce Sevilla was the man next to me? I wonder. I crossed my arms.

"You are so handsome," She whispered. "Can I make you mine forever?" She asked making me laugh at the same time getting annoy.
