At first, her students didn't notice something wrong. In other words, they didn't take it serious. Without Elinor, the world still worked.
Perhaps she refused to go to school because she lost her face when she was beaten at the school gate.
"It's fine for her not to come. It's humiliating with such a girl at school."
"Yeah, she only thinks about how to hang up with boys instead of studying."
"Shh, be quiet. After Elinor was beaten at the school gate, there were boys feeling distressed for her."
"For her? She deserves it."
Victor still did experiments in school as usual. When he shuttled back and forth in the corridor, he would hear the gossips about Elinor who has already had a bad reputation here. Most of the students saw her as a cunning girl good at coaxing others with her pure face.
However, there were very few students who still thought that Elinor was not that kind of person, for her eyes were pure. People like her were really innocent. They thought others misunderstood her, and she was not good at defending.
Besides, even if she was really such a person, so what?
"Shut up!"
Victor paused, and saw Kemp quarreled with another student not far away. "Elinor is not that kind of person. Besides, although she is, did she ever hurt you?"
Did she ever hurt you?
After Kemp asked so, the students who argued with him fell dumb.
He said with red eyes, "Did she ruin your family and relationship or influence your study?"
After he interrogated them, nobody can retort him.
Nope...
She did nothing...
They attacked her only due to a few photographs taken secretly, so they thought she always hung up with boys. But in face, it was none of their business.
Kemp trembled with anger. When he turned his head, he just saw Victor coming from the other end of the corridor. He stared and then showed a more menacing look, like a beast that met his rival.
Victor still jeered indifferently, as if he deliberately ignored Kemp. This look made Kemp angry most.
Victor, as if he didn't hear their quarrel, put his hand in his pocket, followed by Darleen with a document in her hand. They just passed by Kemp without dodging, so he hit Kemp's shoulder.
Kemp was provoked, but he could only bite his teeth and hold back his anger. "Victor!"
His voice was low but firm.
Victor walked some distance, stopped, turned back slowly, and looked at Kemp.
Kemp stared at him and said word by word, "Congratulations from now on, you are free."
You are free.
Damn it, what's wrong with him?
He didn't know why he suddenly recalled Elinor at midnight. But he was calm enough, realizing his puberty may make him excited, so that he can understand why he was obsessed with Elinor's body.
He took a deep breath, then took out his mobile phone, stared at its dark screen for a while, then unlocked it and dialed a number.
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off. Please leave your message after the music."
Victor was surprised.
Power off?
Elinor actually turned off her mobile phone? It was rare to see this. Elinor always kept her cell phone on for fear that Victor can't contact her.
But now...
Victor can't contact Elinor.
Victor was more and more irritable. He pinched his eyebrows and wanted to wave these feelings away. He dialed it again.
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off..."
At this time, he cut off the call directly without waiting. The result won't change no matter ho many times he dialed.
Elinor really turned off her phone, which meant she unilaterally cut off her relation with Victor.
