Bridge Edge

"Indeed, if circumstances change, even if you change them yourself. What will you do? " Lyla smiled faintly. She wouldn't know at all what she did to Mark, if at this point their situation was reversed.

"What do you think I would do? I was just thinking maybe Mark could feel what I'm feeling. You know how he is, and it's just wishful thinking! " Lyla's eyes were so empty when she said that, of course, Rania, who had been watching Lyla all this time, was silent.

"What about the gift I gave you?" Hearing Rania's words made Lyla confused about what to say, because personally, the gift was shapeless.

"Quite good!" Rania understood that Lyla was lying now, seeing how Lyla didn't dare to look her in the eye at all, and what should she do? Because sometimes Rania has a strong desire to make Mark accept the consequences of what he has done by always bullying, especially Lyla. However, what should he do? Mark is a person who is quite influential with the reputation of his parents, who are entrepreneurs as well as the owners of the campus where they study.

Rania took a deep breath, then her lips tried to smile, trying to make Lyla not feel more guilty for what had happened.

"Don't worry, you can get it again next time. I think you should really teach that brat a lesson! " Rania looked at Lyla with a faint smile, who was currently feeling really bad.

Mark smiled triumphantly, as he drove the car at an above average speed. His eyes glanced several times in the rearview mirror to celebrate his victory on the wild race track.

"Wow..., Don't you have any intention of treating us? I think your wallet is really thick now! " Mark chuckled softly, then took his wallet out of his pocket and threw it at Lucas.

At least this time he didn't hit Lucas, who so lightly asked for a treat from him. Mark didn't really care, so he was just still annoyed with what Lyla did by throwing away the book that had just caught his attention. Mark himself is not a person who is interested in reading books, he is more interested in participating in wild races than having to see so many boring dialogues. However, for the book currently in his hands, it was a little different.

Buk....

Mark and Lucas looked confused when from behind they felt someone throwing something from behind at Mark. Once they found the culprit, Mark and Lucas snorted softly, staring at Rania, who was clearly staring intently at the two men who were constantly bullying Lyla.

"Why did you do that?" Rania was still silent when Lucas asked her that question.

"I should be the one asking you guys like that! You really are useless people. Why did you have to do such cowardly things? Especially you! " Rania pointed at Mark who was silent, because this time they were the center of attention.

"You coward, how could you do that to Lyla? Today is her birthday. You really broke her heart! " Rania finished saying that Rania saw the book that was currently in Mark's hands, Mark was immediately annoyed that Rania took the book, before finally leaving.

"He dared to do that to you!" short comments Jack is one of the wild racers who moments ago did a wild race with the currently silent Mark.

Lucas, who saw the anger that clearly radiated from Mark's eyes, couldn't help but remain silent, thinking of ways to prevent Mark from doing what he was thinking right now. Sometimes, Mark really can't think straight when he's angry. Even sometimes, Mark can do anything to express his annoyance.

"Don't listen to him! I bet you wouldn't do anything to that girl, she just doesn't want us to do that to her friend!" Mark secretly glanced at Lucas, who was now patting his shoulder. In annoyance, Mark immediately pushed Lucas' hand away, even though Mark was heard several times saying swear words.

"Wow, that's really low-key. more disgusting than an animal, so this is what Mark does by bullying! " Jack's squeak really angered Mark, who was now really running out of patience, until finally Jack and everyone were shocked when Mark suddenly strangled Jack's neck. However, it's not surprising for Lucas, who can only sigh in resignation when Mark, now full of anger, strangles Jack, who only smirks softly.

"Do you think that scares me? You coward!" Mark's heart is getting hot.

"This matter isn't over yet!" Mark said that and immediately got into his car and left the place too, leaving everyone who could only stare at Mark's car, which was far from their sight.

Lyla awoke from her slumber with enough hunger to bother her. He sighed in annoyance as he opened the refrigerator. There wasn't a single ingredient he could process quickly. Lyla immediately walked to her room to get her cellphone and jacket.

Lyla walked with her steps, occasionally looking around the road she was passing. It looked so quiet, even though there were still several vehicles passing in front of her. Until finally, he stopped in front of the bridge, his mind filled with guilt towards Rania, who had given him a gift when everyone forgot that today was his birthday. Only Rania remembers it, should she talk about what happened? No, Lyla really hesitated if she had to talk to Rania like that.

Lyla did not intend to immediately set foot in her destination, namely the mini market. Even though he was standing at a distance now, he was actually very close to the convenience store across the street. Lyla decided to stay longer on the edge of the bridge, although her hunger was still bothering her, but something was bothering her even more right now. Mark, the only name that made him really want to give up on life, I don't know what the problem was that made him feel all this. Did he make a mistake in his previous life, that he had to feel all this? The question really filled his mind at this time. His eyes occasionally looked at the water flowing under the bridge that was so swift.
