Chapter three
So James was absent from school due to injuries he sustained from a confrontation with senior boys, and during that time, Jake was transferred to the school as a new teacher. That sets up an interesting dynamic!
James walked into the school office, his hand still bandaged from the incident. He was greeted by the principal, who introduced him to the new teacher, Jake. James' eyes widened as he took in Jake's familiar features, but his mind couldn't quite place him.
"Hi, James," Jake said with a warm smile. "Welcome back to school. I'm your new teacher, Mr. Jake."
James felt a shiver run down his spine as their eyes met. There was something about Jake's gaze that made him feel like they shared a secret. But what?
James slipped into his seat, trying to avoid drawing attention to himself. But as he winced in pain while settling into his chair, he caught Jake's eye. Jake's gaze lingered on him for a moment, and James felt a shiver run down his spine. Did Jake suspect something?
"Everything okay, James?" Jake asked quietly, his voice low enough not to carry to the other students.
James hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Yeah, I'm fine," he muttered, trying to brush it off.
But Jake's eyes narrowed slightly, and James sensed that he wasn't convinced. James felt a flutter in his chest as Jake began to make his way over to him...
James forgot the strange encounter at the coffee shop, but Jake, the new teacher, remembered everything. Jake transferred to James' school, hiding his true identity and motives. When James returned to school, injured from a confrontation with senior boys, Jake became his new teacher.
As James struggled to keep his secrets hidden, Jake drew closer, determined to uncover the truth. But James' world was turned upside down when he rushed home to escape trouble, only to hear devastating news: his parents had died in a disaster.
Overwhelmed and desperate, James turned to a drinking bar for solace, unsure who to trust or where to turn. As he sank into despair, one question haunted him: Who's responsible?
And that's where our story ends for now! The mystery deepens, and James' fate hangs in the balance. Will Jake be able to help him uncover the truth and find a way out of this darkness? The story will continue...
