As repetitive as his life was, Quast just had to get up again for another school day, groggy as always no matter how much sleep he gets.
The water flowed out of the faucet and Quast put his hand under it, the icy water made contact with skin and he quickly retracrated his hand, the water was set to a warmer option and he put his hands together and the now warmer water filled them, he splashed his face with it a few times and then dried his face off with a towel. He squeezed some random toothpaste he found in the bathroom cabinet, seems like today was a whitening one.
With a brushed set of teeth he made his way to his room where he took off his pajamas, put on new clothes and got ready for school.
After doing the daily thing of saying goodbye to his parents he went onto his bike and put on headphones as the fine breeze made contact with his face, something about that not hot yet also not cold breeze made him refreshed and relaxed.
At school Jerry and Albert were already there, sitting on their desks looking bored while fiddling with their stuff, even when they saw Quast nothing really changed.
It was wednesday and that meant that it was another weekly English vocabulary test, so it wasn't a surprise that most of the kids in the classroom had their books open and were rehearsing what was about to be in the test.
Of course, Quast and Jerry had become too dependant on the chat function in the past week, so they didn't study for anything.
Jerry sighed and used the chat function to communicate something to Quast. The chat appeared as it does.
[Jerry]
[Today]
Jerry : [I used to hate school, but I've been rethinking that recently, of course I still don't like waking up early, but with all of these things going on... who knows maybe in the next moment some comically evil villain will attack and you know how the story goes.] - Sent 7:52AM
[Think of message here...]
To which Quast after thinking of what he should answer with, responded
[I get where you are coming from, and I am also wondering why this power was given to us, but to be honest... I still don't know.]
Jerry thought of an answer
[Same...] and after a little pause there was a continuation [I've been getting into watching marble runs recently, frankly I never thought it was something I needed in my life, but it's really cool, you should watch some too, people put a lot of effort into them.]
[Noted.] Quast acknowledged what Jerry was saying and decided to watch some marble runs when he was home.
The teacher walked in with a tired expression and some supposed vocabulary tests in hand.
"Everyone who has their textbooks out, please put them away." the teacher demanded.
The test was easy and after 10 minutes the teacher collected all of them from the students and put them in a folder.
Nothing exciting happened the next 3 lessons, but when it was recess some drama broke out on school grounds, Jerry and Quast were walking along the outer grounds of the school in circles when they saw 5 older students start shouting at eachother and then throw punches, uncoordinated punches, like it was some sort of pub fight.
When Jerry saw this he whistled and said "I could probably go there and break up the fight since I'm probably stronger than them if I fight one on one, but let's go tell a teacher."
"Sure." Quast shrugged and they ran to the school counsler that was in his office.
The counsler, Mr. Henrick looked up at them from his computer, they greeted eachother and then Jerry said "Some upperclassmen are fighting near the southern exit, might wanna go break that up." Mr. Henrick had a shocked yet somehow not surprised expression on his face, he stood up with his keys dangling from his pocket, when he noticed that his keys were almost about to fall out, he stuffed them back into the pocket.
After walking for about 2 minutes they were there, but it seemed like they weren't the only ones coming, out of his peripheral vision Quast saw 2 teachers running from a distance away, the 5 older students, which were all boys were still engrossed in their fighting, when unexpectedly one of them collapsed on the ground, this gathered the attention of the remaining 4 boys but they didn't stop fighting.
Loud shouting could be heard from the teachers and the counsler as more and more kids gathered at the spot to spectate what was happening, almost the entire school was gathered except some students that didn't care.
More teachers came and screamed at the boys, all the teachers that were men went to restrain the people fighting but they weren't enough, so the counsler called to Jerry to come and help.
For whatever reason, Mr. Henrick felt that Jerry could be of assistance, normally he wouldn't have called a student to help in a situation like that but something about Jerry just made it so that he asked for help.
Jerry agreed and the teachers went to hold back the kids that were fighting, Jerry overpowered the student that was older than him, well he could do that mostly because the guy that he was restraining was exhausted and injured, but the points into strength were also a big deal.
After that whole act was over Quast and Jerry were called to the principals office, the principal thanked them and told them why the students were fighting, well apparently those 5 kids were split into two groups, one with 3 people and the other one with 2, the students in question were known to not like eachother, but no one thought that it would become serious.
The one that was restrained by Jerry, he was in the group of 3 explained that the person in the group of 2 insulted his friend's family, so thats why the fight broke out.
"Hmmm, why were they together then?" Quast asked.
The principal responded "Well apparently both groups agreed with eachother to meet there." a sigh was heard from the principal. "The kid that collapsed was in the group of 3, he's now in the hospital and is being taken care of." the principal took his glasses off and put his thumb and pointer finger on the bridge of his nose and squinted "These kids, I swear, how do they even come to those ideas." after putting his glasses back on he said "Anyways, you guys are free to go back to your class."
And so they did, both of them walked in while the teacher was writing something on the blackboard, the teacher turned around and all the kids looked at Quast and Jerry, the teacher turned towards the black board again and continued writing, and so did the students, after all attention was away from them they both sat down and continued with their day.
After more boring lessons the day was over and everyone went home, only 72 more hours until the quests are refilled.
