Minutes passed as Adam waited. By the time his legs began to tire, the door slid open.
"Huh? You're still here?" [???]
Orion walked out with Brandon trailing behind him. It seemed they had their bandages re-done, and had their clothing back on.
"I was waiting for you guys to come out." [Adam]
"You should've gone back to class." [Orion]
"Why would I want to go back to class?" [Adam]
Orion looked like he wanted to say something, but ended up just shrugging.
"You have a point." [Orion]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The group headed back to class, entering the room in the middle of Mr. Frank's lecture.
"-So you all should be prepared by the end of- Oh, You're back." [Mr. Frank]
"Uh… yeah." [Orion]
"Go take your seats so I can continue." [Mr. Frank]
Ushering the students to their desks, he continued with his lesson.
"As I was saying, be prepared by the end of spring break. If we do well, I'll treat you all out again." [Mr. Frank]
The class erupted with excitement, but the three who just entered were left confused.
"Wh-what's going on?" [Brandon]
Brandon's voice was drowned out by the cheers. Unable to ask questions, he sat at his desk quietly.
"Quiet! I know you're all excited, but that's only if you manage to do well." [Mr. Frank]
The students calmed down. It was like the yelling from before never happened to begin with.
"Moving on, we need to discuss this new pamphlet that was handed out recently." [Mr. Frank]
Reaching into his coat, Mr. Frank took out a small booklet.
"You all probably received one of these at the beginning of the year, but they're now considered outdated." [Mr. Frank]
As he continued on about the pamphlet, the end of class came about. The chime of a bell resounded throughout the school, notifying the people within.
"...And that's all we have for today." [Mr. Frank]
The students began to pack their belongings, but was stopped by Mr. Frank.
"Hey, sit back down. The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do." [Mr. Frank]
"..." [Class]
Sitting back down, some of the students groaned with annoyance in their voices.
"What do you even want?" [Felix]
"Hey, none of the sass." [Mr. Frank]
Reaching into his coat, Mr. Frank took out a basket full of the previously seen booklets.
"I'll leave this near the exit. Take one on your way out. Make sure to read it later." [Mr. Frank]
"...May we leave now?" [Brandon]
"Class dismissed." [Mr. Frank]
Nodding his head, Mr. Frank allowed the students to leave.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Walking in the hallway with Felix, Adam heard a voice call out to him.
"Hey Adam!" [???]
"Hm?" [Adam]
Turning towards the voice, he saw Jelia waving at him.
"What's up?" [Adam]
"Come to the office real quick. I need your help." [Jelia]
"Uh… But I'm not on shift right now." [Adam]
"It's important." [Jelia]
Adam glanced at Felix, and received a pat on the back.
"Just go. I'll head home first." [Felix]
"..." [Adam]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leaving Felix behind, Adam went along with Jelia. Walking in silence, the two moved through the halls until they entered the student council office.
"Heru!" [Jelia]
She barged into the room calling the vice president's name, startling him upon her arrival.
"Y-yes?!" [Heru]
"Prepare the documents. I brought us a little more manpower." [Jelia]
Grabbing Adam by the shoulder, she tossed him to Heru's side.
"Woah!" [Adam]
Staggering from being thrown, Adam rebalanced himself.
"What was that for?" [Adam]
"We don't have time." [Jelia]
"Time for what?" [Adam]
Jelia didn't reply. Instead, she began rummaging through her desk.
"Where is it? Where the hell is it?!" [Jelia]
As she made a mess of the office, a knock came from the door.
"Hey uh… President?" [Adam]
He called the president's, but she didn't even look his way.
"...Then I guess I'll get it." [Adam]
Upon walking to the entrance, the door swung open.
"Agh!" [Adam]
He felt a sharp pain on his nose. That was the day Adam made a mental note on how dangerous doors could be.
"Huh? Did I just hit someone?" [???]
Coming out from behind the door, a boy with disheveled orange hair entered the room.
("Who's that?") [Adam]
Blinking the tears out of his eyes, Adam looked at the boy.
"Hm? Oh, were you the one I hit?" [Orange Haired Boy]
The boy looked at Adam with a worried expression. Just from locking eyes, Adam felt that the person in front of him wasn't a bad person.
"Y-yeah…" [Adam]
"Sh… Should I take you to the nurse's office?" [Orange Haired Boy]
"No... I'm fine." [Adam]
Out of all the things he did today, Adam felt tired of walking around all day.
"What are you doing?" [Jelia]
The president seemed to have finished looking through her desk. Crossing her arms she glared at the orange haired boy.
"I came to check up on things." [Orange Haired Boy]
Though Jelia gazed at him with hostility, the boy maintained a calm demeanor.
("...What's even happening?") [Adam]
