Chương 80: Reunion

After a couple of hours of driving, Lucas arrived in front of his house. The house looked the same as when he left it, only the grass outside had grown a bit. Just as he stepped outside his car, he noticed on the opposite side of the street a figure hiding in the bushes.

"Grrr!" It let out a visible sound of irritation and bared its teeth at him. Lucas let out an awkward laugh. He was in a hurry and forgot about her.

"I'm sorry… it was urgent…" Malia just glanced at him one more time, then turned around and kicked the ground behind her with her paws.

"What are you? A dog?" He glanced at her speechlessly. Sure, he had forgotten that he needed to feed her, but she was a coyote, not a dog. He shook his head, then went inside to take a shower. After that, he went out once again. He needed to go to the principal's office. It was about his long "sick" week, although that wasn't that important. The real reason was to check on Allison. He left in a hurry so that he wouldn't hesitate to leave town.

But after that they still communicated, it's just that the time was getting shorter, so he began worrying that something happened. It didn't take long for him to arrive at school. He went directly to the principal's office and stayed there for 15 minutes, listening to the principal's lecture. When he finally got out, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that if he stayed there one more minute, he couldn't help but punch the principal in the face. By now, the hallway was filled with students.

After walking in the direction of Allison's locker, just as he saw her, his face lit up. But Lucas also noticed not far away a man taking pictures of her. He frowned as he gazed at the man. This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. He made his way through the crowd as if he didn't exist. Before the man could take another picture, Lucas grabbed him by the back of his neck.

"Ouch!" Lucas ignored his shout of pain and dragged him into a classroom. Before the man could talk, Lucas slammed his face against the wall.

"Who are you?! And why are you photographing Allison?!" Without realizing it, Lucas's grip around the man's neck was too tight for him to even speak from the pain, so Lucas released him. The man put his hand around his neck and looked at Lucas in shock.

"I'm… Matt… Daehler…" Seeing Lucas still unmoved, Matt tried to smile to ease the atmosphere.

"It was nothing weird… I'm an amateur photographer." Lucas gazed at Matt in silence. He now knew where the familiarity came from. This guy was in the same category as Kate and Gerard. He would not mind getting rid of all of them.

"What does that have to do with you taking pictures of my girlfriend?" Matt's smile stiffened at his question. By now he recognized Lucas too. It wasn't because they had talked before, but with his interest in Allison, he couldn't help but know about her relationships.

"I…I…" Lucas didn't want to hear more from him and slammed him back into the wall, then grabbed his camera. He scrolled through the pictures and was relieved to see only pictures of Allison from school. Although it was not as bad as he imagined, he would not let him go without consequences. Lucas grabbed Matt straight by the throat and lifted him up in the air.

"Ple…e!" Matt gripped Lucas's hand hard, trying to get it off, but it was pointless. His face was getting flushed from the lack of air. Lucas gazed at his pleading face without mercy. If this wasn't school, Matt would have experienced worse things. Observing that Matt started losing consciousness, he finally released him. Matt dropped straight to the ground, huffing and puffing, trying to take in as much air as he could.

"From now on, you'll stay away from Allison. If I see you take more pictures of her, I will break your hands!"

"Y…yes!" Matt nodded hurriedly. Only he knew if he was going to keep that promise. Lucas walked away, not wanting to spend more time on him.

"Wait… my camera…" He was afraid, but his camera was still with Lucas. Lucas gave him a cold glance, then walked away from that human trash. Looking at Lucas's back, Matt's eyes became venomous, filled with a tinge of hatred. Without caring about him anymore, Lucas went straight towards Allison, who was still by her locker staring at it in a daze. He arrived behind her without her noticing and tapped her on the shoulder.

"What made this beautiful lady upset?" At the sound of his voice, Allison lifted her head in a hurry. Her eyes sparkled with joy when she laid eyes on him.

"Lucas!" Before Lucas could say anything, she jumped straight into his arms, wrapping her legs around him tightly and hugging him as if afraid that he would disappear.
