Jack was feeling overwhelmed today because finally after ten days, college was opened and he was going to meet Elena.
He was on his way and it started raining suddenly. It was still half-way to reach the college but he was completely wet from head to toe. He was passing by a tall building. He heard someone calling his name. He looked from where the voice was heard. It was Drake, calling him from the balcony of his house. Drake said, " Jack, come inside. It's really raining hard. It seems it will take time to stop. Once it will stop, we will leave together for the college."
Jack didn't want to go in his home. He hated him so much but there was no other choice left for him. He couldn't go college in his wet clothes and he was not willing to return home. He waited for a moment,being confused what to do? We went to his house. Drake came down and opened the door for him. Jack went inside. His house was so beautifully decorated with blood red roses only. Drake told him to wait for few minutes in the drawing hall. He brought a towel and a set of dress for him to change.
Jack took off his shirt. Drake got surprised at what he saw. There was a wolf picture marked on the nape of his neck.When Jack looked at him, he turned his face away from him as if he didn't see anything.
Drake brought a cup of hot coffee for him. Jack thanked him for his help. It was still raining outside. Drake told Jack to sit and watch t.v. Both of them were watching news, Drake's phone rang.
He said, " It's Elena call. She must be calling to ask me if i am going college today or not?"
Drake went outside to respond her call. Jack thought they seemed more close than i was thinking.
Rain stopped finally. So, Drake and Jack left for the college together. Elena was already in the classroom. Drake approached her and whispered something in her ear. After listening, there was a mixed expression of happiness and sadness on her face. She looked at Jack and gave him a smile. Jack smiled back but deep inside he was feeling jealous of Drake. Both of them left together for the canteen.
" How cheap is this! They didn't even ask me once if I wanted to join them or not." Jack thought.

Rohan entered the classroom. Jack told him to go canteen with him. He wanted to see what did they do there? While they were going, Jack saw Drake and Elena were talking to the guard who was the first person to see the professor's dead body in the restroom. Jack returned in the classroom but Rohan went to join them. After few minutes, three of them entered the classroom.
Jack asked Rohan, " What they were talking about? "
Rohan said, " Don't know. When I reached there they stopped talking to guard. I think they were talking about that day when our professor died."
Jack looked at them, they were looking suspicious as well as anxious.
When the class got over, Jack and Rohan went to the same guard asked him, " What were they asking from you? "
Guard replied, " They wanted to know if I had seen anyone going out of the restroom right before i saw him dead. "
Jack asked, " What did you say? Did you see anyone?"
Guard replied, " Actually, i didn't see anyone but i am sure that the murderer would be from our college because unknown person are not allowed to enter the college premises."
Jack and Rohan looked at each other. They didn't say anything and returned their home
