Each of the boys standing in front of Ryan, Dylan, and the other students occupying chairs close to them had smirks on their faces.
They gain joy from disturbing people they felt they needed to disturb, they were rascals. Now that they’d been able to disturb Ryan while he was eating and even make a surprised expression appear on his face, they were happy.
That was the very reason why they were smirking.
They were smirking because they’d been able to cause a kind of distress to a person’s life right now and still plan on doing more, they were gaining joy from it. This was the very reason why Dylan couldn’t seem to fathom how the minds of bullies work.
They were a kind of beings…you know, understanding them might be impossible sometimes…
They were still standing in front of Ryan staring at him with that smirk still plastered on their faces, and Ryan was also staring at them as well. Then words managed to flow out of his mouth,
“What was the meaning of that?”.
He threw this question at the boys in front of him expecting an answer. But they didn’t answer him immediately, instead, they began laughing.
Ryan was so confused, like, did he say anything funny? So why the fuck were they laughing? Students in the cafeteria were just watching the scene taking place, and as for Dylan, he was so irritated right now.
They were asked a question, and they were laughing like he said anything funny. They were eating their food in peace before all these began taking place.
..They’d ruined the mood, ruined the atmosphere, they’d basically ruined everything.
These were the kinds of things they do derive joy from. After they were done laughing, their leader uttered to Ryan,
“What kind of question is that? Of course, I tapped your head to disturb you. And if you hadn’t glanced back and ruined everything, these guys standing close to me would have done the same as well,
The meaning of it is that we just felt like doing it…you know?”.
“So, you guys want to resume this, right?”. Dylan’s voice resounded with his gaze focused on the bullies.
“Yes, we want to resume it, anything wrong with that?”. One of the boys voiced out.
“Yes, there are a lot of things wrong with it. You’re disturbing the hell out of a person’s life, I know people like you guys want drama, but can’t you create dramas among yourselves and stop disturbing people’s lives?”. Dylan’s voice resounded again with his gaze still focused on them.
“No, we can’t. We love drama and love creating them in people’s lives, a certain kind of people, it’s fun that way”. That same boy responded to Dylan’s question.
The students they do bully were right in the cafeteria and were hearing everything they were saying, but couldn’t do anything about it. These bullies had created a lot of dramas in their lives, but they couldn’t do anything about it as well.
Dylan sighed the moment that boy responded to his question, then he bent his head a little while shaking it. After he was done doing that, he raised his head glancing at them once again, then his voice resounded,
“So, you’re trying to tell me you guys don’t ever get tired of this”.
“No, we don’t”.
Ryan was still glancing at them, and he was pissed at the way the boy was giving answers to the questions Dylan was throwing at him. In fact, he wasn’t pissed at the way the boy was answering the questions, he was pissed at the answers.
It just shows the kind of people these boys were and the kind of mindset they have…
Imagine saying they love dramas and love creating them in a certain kind of people’s lives, which basically means their preys. It just shows how much they lack empathy.
And this doesn’t only apply to them, it applies to other bullies in this academy and other academies.
“I guess you all are forgetting that I can easily report you guys to a teacher or even teachers. There’s no need to report to teachers because the moment I report to a teacher, the other teachers would definitely hear about it,
So all I need to do is report to one teacher, and a lot would happen. I can easily do that”. Dylan voiced out with his gaze still focused on them.
..He was using this threat again because this was the threat that scared them off in the past during the time they were bullying Ryan.
One of the bullies walked toward Dylan with speed the moment he said that, then he stated,
“You’re free to do whatever you want to do. If you want, you can choose not to report to only a teacher, you can choose to report to the head teacher as well”.
Remember they planned on confirming if this threat of his was an empty threat or not, so they didn’t plan on scaring off just by him saying it just as they did in the past.
They wanted to make sure he could truly carry out the threat. If it happens to be that he could truly carry out the threat, then they know what next to do…they’d already made a plan for all these.
Dylan stood up from the chair he was sitting on as he was standing face to face with the boy that walked toward him and made that utterance.
Almost everyone in the cafeteria was still watching the scene that was taking place, they wanted to see where it would lead to.
Still standing face to face with the boy that walked toward him and made that utterance, Dylan smiled a little. And after the smile vanished from his face, he voiced out,
“Wow! That’s a lot of confidence there. Do you know what could happen to you guys if I end up reporting you guys? I’d make sure to report everything that you guys have been doing, I wouldn’t leave a single detail out,
Now, this isn’t a situation of getting punished by only the teachers and the head teacher, someone else would hear about what you guys have been doing. You guys wouldn’t want to get punished by that person because his punishment would be severe,
It might be too much for you guys to handle, there’s a very high chance you guys wouldn’t be able to handle it”.
The person Dylan was referring to here was Ryan’s father, Warren. And everything he said just now were accurate, Warren wouldn’t take it easy with them once he finds out that they’d been bullying his son for certain reasons.
They’d be severely punished by him, it might truly be too much for them to handle…
No matter what, bullies would always hate being reported. So even with all the plans these boys had made, Dylan’s statement seemed to be scaring them, that threat was almost working out on them again.
But they needed to make sure all these threats weren’t empty ones, so they remained confident. Then that boy standing face to face with Dylan uttered,
“You can do whatever you want to do”.
“Seriously?”. Dylan inquired.
“Yes, I’m fucking serious”.
Silence ensued after the boy said that, Dylan didn’t know what else to say, so he just kept mute. He was glancing directly into the boy’s eyes, and the boy was glancing directly into his eyes as well.
Then the boy’s voice resounded again, “Note, we’d keep doing what we’ve started, this is only the beginning”.
And after saying that, he glanced at his gang and signalled them to begin heading back to their seats so they could finish their foods because they hadn’t finished eating them before they decided to cause a little distress to Ryan’s life.
The boy wasn’t the leader of their gang, but he was acting like the leader right now.
They understood his signal, so they began walking toward him. And the boy didn’t wait for them to reach him before he began walking as well.
He made use of his right shoulder to hit Dylan’s right shoulder on purpose the moment he began moving, and that caused Dylan’s body to move in a way.
This made Dylan focus his gaze on the boy as he was walking toward his seat. The other boys had walked past them by now, and in no time, they reached their seats, balanced on them, and resumed eating.
Dylan glanced at them for a few more seconds before he sat back on his seat and resumed eating his food. Ryan’s gaze was focused on Dylan right now, he couldn’t even bring himself to resume eating.
Dylan had just stood up for him again like it was nothing. Ryan was still staring at Dylan when Dylan glanced at him and said,
“Wow! That’s a lot of staring right there. You should resume eating”.
“Oh! True”.
Those were the words that flowed out of Ryan’s mouth before he resumed eating. Seeing that the scene was over, all the students watching it resumed eating again…
