Stronger Every Time I Die
"Right, I thought I saw two pairs of eyes over there too; I thought I was imagining things!" "When I came in, I saw those two heading this way. I didn't expect them to be creeps!" "Luckily, this senior caught them, or who knows what they would have done!" "They didn't film anything, did they?" At that, the crowd instantly erupted! Filming a video! Some of the girls had dressed up in pretty skirts today to make a good impression on their classmates. Hearing this, they quickly panicked and covered their skirts. The crowd immediately became a mess. Watching the frantic crowd, Finley asked with apparent confusion, "Why are you two hiding here watching the younger girls? That's not right." Everest's face turned completely dark! He pushed through the crowd and quickly walked up to Arthur and Taylor. Seeing that it was them, Everest's expression darkened even more. He pointed at them fiercely and shouted, "It's you again! What on earth are you thinking, hiding here?" Last time, they had caused him to be punished by Mateo, and he hadn't forgotten that grudge! To think, they were causing trouble again so soon! And during his welcome event, no less! He was already annoyed from standing in the hot sun for the welcoming, and seeing that it was these two causing trouble made Everest even angrier! Arthur and Taylor stood still. Taylor whispered apologetically to Arthur, "Sorry, I got you into this." He hadn't expected Finley to be so scheming! He was definitely doing this on purpose! Taylor glared fiercely at Finley, but Finley just stood there with an innocent look, watching the drama unfold. Haha. Wait until Mr. Hugo finds out they were sneakily watching girls from the bushes, who knows if Mr. Hugo would still think highly of them? Arthur didn't respond to Taylor's comment. He stood up straight, looking seriously at Everest, and said earnestly. "Mr. Everest, we were just noticing some weeds over here and thought about clearing them."Saying this, Arthur lifted the handful of weeds, still covered in dirt, that he had casually pulled out while Taylor was distracted by the girls. "Pulling weeds?" Finley was clearly unsettled, his voice rising slightly. Arthur looked at him strangely but asked seriously, "Is there a problem, Finley?" As soon as he said this, the place went silent! Everyone stared at the weeds in his hand, momentarily stunned. The girls who had been clutching their skirts sheepishly let go. In these times, there were indeed many perverts around, as seen online. But this was perhaps an overreaction. Even Taylor, standing next to Arthur, was stunned. Pulling weeds?When did he do that? Weren't we here to look at girls? He was already bracing himself for a scolding! Finley quickly realized he had overreacted. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and quickly returned to his usual calm demeanor. "So, you two were just clearing the weeds, then?" Finley asked again, seemingly puzzled, "But why were you staring at the girls coming in?" At this, the girls who had just relaxed tensed up again! Were these two using weeding as a cover to watch them? It wasn't impossible! The taller one was okay, being so handsome. But the shorter one, with a buzz cut, definitely looked like a thug! Taylor was furious, gritting his teeth. Finley, why does he always have to stir trouble? Can't he keep quiet? Taylor clenched his fists, nearly rushing up to punch him. Arthur quietly stopped him, still addressing Finley earnestly. "We were just lifting our heads. Why must Finley insist that we were watching them?" Arthur's counter-question immediately turned the tables. Everyone involuntarily looked at Finley, their expressions becoming a bit strange. Taylor was shocked by Arthur's maneuver.But he was no slouch either, quick-witted as he was. "Right! Finley, we just came to see if we could help with anything since it's the freshman orientation. We saw some weeds and just squatted down to pull them out. What are you implying? Are you deliberately framing us?" Taylor's indignant questioning landed another heavy blow on Finley! Seeing the two standing their ground so confidently, the crowd couldn't help but believe them a bit more. Finley's position suddenly became very awkward.
