Tuesday morning alone proved to be a far quieter school day for Xin than Monday. A big reason for this was the absence of Gary and Tom. She didn't know why, but ever since the two friends had shown up at the Karate club, the transfer girl had started to pay more attention towards them.
Turning her head, she stared at their two empty seats.
'I heard that the green haired boy got excluded for fighting with Steven, but what about his friend? Is it just some coincidence that he's also missing or has he decided to skip classes, so the two of them can hang out?'
As she wondered about the reason, she felt a certain group of girls whispering things about her, no doubt spreading some nasty rumours, as they were staring daggers at her.
'Right, I should probably worry about my own problems first. Why is it so hard to find that one opportunity to apologise and clear things up between us? Just when did she convince the entire class to avoid talking to me as if had the plague?'
Ever since Xin had accidentally thrown Tiffany into Gary's puke, she had tried to apologise. Last week, she had failed to make any progress. The transfer girl had sincerely hoped that after the weekend, the queen bee might have forgiven her or at least shown herself more willing to listen to reason, but she had no such luck.
Yesterday, Tiffany's two goons had gotten in the way each and every time, not even letting her speak with their ringleader. It had gotten to the point that the new girl had wanted to just beat them up, to get through them. The only reason she hadn't done so was because Xin feared that it would only escalate her situation.
'Just what is going on for both Gary and Innu to receive human flesh in front of their doors? This isn't something the Underdogs would do. Could it have been a rival gang trying to scare them? … No, that doesn't make any sense. We're barely a gang and even if those guys from Eton High found out that we'll be fighting them in the tag team tournament, they would simply try and beat them up. Whoever did that must have wanted to leave a message to the two of them. In that case, what exactly do the two of them have in common to receive such a thing?' Kai racked his brain.
