CHAPTER NINE

Apple's Point of View
"Friday today, yey! Let's hang out somewhere!" Danielle loudly spoke when our last subject finally dismissed us.
"Do you want me to give you honest information, we have Saturday class" Ayen disagreed immediately. I saw Danielle roll his eyes and give a pout to everyone. Almost all of my classmates are still here because I don't know.
It's true that we have Saturday class. Our vacant days are just Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. The rest of the day we are going to school. I don't hate school but it bores me now, I think it's because I don't get thrilled anymore.
"Let's still hang out even if we have class tomorrow! Let's go everyone" He said and even dragged us out. Our classmates followed us after that, I think it was also their plan to hang out on Friday.
I sent a message to my parents stating the fact that they wouldn't see me inside of school because I'm going to the place where my classmates want. My dad agrees on it but he also sets time on when he would pick me up.
We were brought to an unfamiliar place, it was far away from the school and we needed to take one transportation to get there. I didn't say anything and just went with what they wanted. I was also interviewed by Danielle while we're in the ride.
"So, what are you most curious about?" He asks. We are in the back of the van so everyone can't listen to what we're going to say if we lower our voices.
"Did they do something bad? Your boy classmates?" I asked. This was what I'm most curious about.
I became curious and concerned about this when I heard the way our teacher teased the boys. He stated that "You already have a guidance report so behave yourself in this place, understand?" And pointing at the boys.
That's why I assume that they do something bad. They were also so distant and careful not to talk with them. They also look like people who would do bad things and be satisfied with it , so that's what I just observed.
"Oh, so you pointed it out. I knew that you're one of the observant types. I have had a lot of tea since you opened that up, "he said.
I became thrilled and I know it's not good. I became the victim of assumption, people called me delusional and bad mouthed me because of assumptions that they make so I know that it's bad but I can't help myself.
We stopped at the fancy restaurant. They got the reservation and let us all in. We sat down and three waiters took our orders. I've just ordered steak and shake because that's what I just knew in the menu.
"Here's the tea, sis. We've been bullied and sexualized by those boys. Saying that we might just open our mouth and suck it in and they were really horrible on their own group chat. When it was leaked, all of the things that they've said to me and the transwoman we had in the last section was truly unimaginable" He explains all.
I was shocked by it. It was really imaginable since they all look something I cannot comprehend. It was like my brain had already prejudiced them once I looked at their looks and it was true though. My assumptions on them were true and I was right.
"Who was at that scene?" I asked again. Feeling doubtful of the place. One thing for sure, Frederic was there along with his circle of friends.
But I wish Renz was not there. I really wish for it because I saw them having a conversation with each other. I really hope he's not a bad guy and I didn't see it from the very start.
"Frederic and his friends were there," Danielle answered. He didn't drop names except Frederic. I know that guy won't really be trusted so I know he was a bad guy but here's what I don't know, was Renz there?
"Is Renz there too?" I asked him. Staring at Renz and praying that I'm not wrong for thinking that he was a good guy.
"No, Renz isn't there. He was a good guy for me" I release a deep sigh feeling much better. I don't know why I do that but looking at dreamingly Danielle feels something was off.
I looked at Renz and saw him staring at me, then I looked at Danielle who's now staring down at his phone. It has the possibility that Renz was gay. I shook it off because he may be just a good guy who doesn't want to include himself in the bad things because he had a brain.
I'd just eat the food quietly when it arrives. I still continue to ask Danielle, things about their last section mostly about Renz. I was acting so obviously so I stopped doing it and just asks him about random things like his favourite music genre.
After eating, we all parted ways. I am now messaging my dad to pick me up here in this fancy restaurant. I have been alone since all of them left and I can't leave this place without anyone picking me up.
Some stranger went in my direction and stood beside me. I was at the outside of this restaurant because I am no longer purchasing something on them and it was embarrassing to sit down to the table being cleaned.
"Hi, can I ask what your name is?" He said. I looked at him, head to toe before shaking my head, refusing to answer.
I know that he might harm me because I said 'no' but he didn't. Instead he also stood beside me and chuckled. I've heard every news about people raping people and I'm worried that I might experience it today.
"I know who you are, Apple. I've been eyeing you ever since you were just born and I'm glad we've finally met" He said which brings me more fear. Has he known me ever since I was a child? How's it? Who's he?
"If you're wondering who I am. I'm your father's brother. I'm your uncle and you're my niece! How great was that, right?" He said. I remember what Rena's mom told me that he was some psychopath.
"What are you doing here, you fool?" I hear my dad's raging voice. I ran to his back to make sure that I'm not going to be harmed.
"I'm here to help your daughter be safe and secure while you're still on your way to get her. Ain't that helpful for you, Lawrence? You should be grateful for me, "he said while smirking. I want to stop them from fighting.
"Dad, let's go. I'm getting scared" I said. He was a psycho and we don't know what his brain has been telling him. He might kill my dad without regretting things and that would make it worse.
"Go in the car now, Apple. Whatever you see, don't open the car door and lock it up. If you saw me getting killed, call the police immediately and take a video of it, okay" He said and kissed my forehead.
I was forced to go to the car and follow my dad's instructions. I was here watching him and his brother talk. His brother was smirking and even if I couldn't see my dad, I knew that he was holding his anger out.
I already sent a message to mom and Aunt Alona. Now, I'm taking a video of it secretly. I just hope that this video won't be the last video that I get of my dad. I hope that I can spend more time with him after this.
Confusion was what I felt when someone knocked on the car door and it was Frederic and his friends. What are they doing here? I feel like I'm in some horror movie right now and I can't even breathe.
They were trying to open the door but I won't let them up until they are forced to break the window. And they succeeded on it, they succeeded in breaking the window and they gave me a box and inside of that box was my dad's head. He was beheaded.
I wake up from that nightmare when my dad shakes me. I hugged him immediately and cried on his shoulder. I don't want that nightmare to happen in real life because I don't know what to do if that happens.
