"Hey, Rocky! Wait up!"
Even after hearing this, Rocky did not ease up his pace. His long strides, eating up the space even as he walked unhurriedly along the hallway of the T-Vino Island medical school, seemingly lost in his thoughts. It had been just about a week since he had resumed his classes after taking a small break from school. The puzzling reaction from his Principal was still fresh in his mind, though, as he could feel the subtle difference in the treatment he then received from his tutors and professors.
'It's been an overwhelming few weeks!' Rocky thought with a sigh. In essence, that was just an understatement. Rocky was already mature for his age, but the few incidents that had changed his home overnight, pushed him even more up the maturity threshold.
