Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: 284-The Bullies Of The Academy

Clementine:

"What?" Oriana complained. "Sir, please, I’m really sorry. I was just wearing her uniform, that’s all I did. How is that violence?"

She started to cry almost instantly. I guessed the fear of being alone was getting to her. I knew how terrified she was of being left without anyone. She always needed someone to fight for her, so the thought of going there alone was probably too much.

However, the headmaster was quick to explain the punishment in detail.

"Not you," he said. "You didn’t hit her. You didn’t raise a finger against her. If you had, you’d be facing the same punishment."

As soon as he said that, Oriana placed both hands on her chest and sighed in relief.

Then I noticed her smile, her expression bright with satisfaction.

But when realization struck her, that the punishment was only for me, her smile vanished.

"Clementine Stark, you will be going to the North alone for a task. However, it will be scheduled later," the headmaster declared.

Instead of immediately pleading and crying before the headmaster, I simply nodded and stayed seated.

It was obvious they wouldn’t change their minds just because someone cried, so what was the point?

I wasn’t going to beg them to let me stay when I knew I had committed violence. I accepted it.

Maybe I’d be better off alone in the north than staying here.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself?" the headmaster asked, and I shook my head.

"Are you crazy? Apologize to him," Oriana hissed, glaring at me. I didn’t understand what was wrong with her.

Why was she acting like she cared now, when she was the reason I was being sent to the north in the first place?

"Well then, you may return to your room now. Your punishment will begin in the coming months," the headmaster announced, gesturing toward the door. We both stood up and headed out of the office.

That was when I started to feel uneasy.

’Why in the coming months?’

The thought hit me hard. What if they planned to assign me the toughest task possible, something I might never come back from? Still, I didn’t let the worry show on my face.

The moment we stepped outside, Oriana started questioning me.

"Are you crazy? You should have apologized right away."

As soon as she said that, I turned to look at her, giving her a slow head-to-toe glance and a judgmental stare.

"What? I’m not a monster. I just don’t want you in this squad anymore. If you’re around, I’ll always fear that the others might fall into your trap again," she snapped.

Her words made me laugh at her audacity to call my actions a trap when she was the one manipulating them.

I didn’t argue. I just kept walking until we reached the dorm room. As soon as we entered, the heavy tension in the air told me something was wrong.

I could see it from the looks everyone gave me.
