Johnathan nodded, his mind swirling with questions and apprehensions. He couldn't shake the feeling that Ethan Jones was no longer the same person he once knew that he looked different.
As Ethan Jones tended to his injuries, Johnathan couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead for his friend. With the power of the Internal Bot at his disposal, Ethan was determined to embark on a journey of discovery and danger, one that would test the limits of his newfound abilities and reshape the course of his destiny.
As Johnathan inquired about Ethan's well being, Ethan reassured him with a casual wave of his hand. "Oh yeah, it's not as bad as it looks," he replied, his tone surprisingly nonchalant given the circumstances.As Ethan Jones raised his hand to rub the swollen and bleeding head of his due to the kick. But to his surprise, there was no scratch.
''I'm so sure that guy's kick connected to my head perfectly. But why no injuries?'' Ethan Jones thought.
To his surprise, there was no scratch, no trace of the impact that should have left its mark. Ethan Jones blinked in astonishment, his confusion evident as he ran his fingers over his head, searching for any evidence of the blow he had received.
Yet, to his bewilderment, there was nothing, no swelling, no tenderness, no indication that he had just been struck with enough force to leave him reeling.
"What is going on with me?"Ethan Jones thought.
"Come on now, let's head to school before we run into one of our 'friends' again" Johnathan said as he began to walk but Ethan grabbed his arm.
"Who were those guys j? Why were they after you? And what do you need to pay them back with?" Ethan asks but Johnathan yanks his arm away from Ethan and straightens his shirt.
"None of your business ,man," Johnathan said. Ethan then nodded, he hasn't seen his friend act this way since when they knew each other.
It seems like he was in some sort of danger and was a part of some sort of organization that he didn't want to be a part of .
As Ethan Jones kept asking for answers about the identity of their assailants, Johnathan hesitated, his gaze flickering with uncertainty. Despite Ethan's insistence, Johnathan remained not to say anything.
"I can't," Johnathan finally murmured, his voice tinged with regret. "It's complicated,"he added.
Ethan's brow furrowed with frustration, his mind buzzing with unanswered questions. He had thought that Johnathan would confide in him, share the truth of their encounter with Jacoby and his comrades.
"Well it's your decision, for you not telling me the shit you're into"Ethan said with a sigh, Ethan Jones nodded, accepting Johnathan's refusal for now. He knew that there were secrets lurking beneath the surface, mysteries that he may never fully understand.
In that moment, Ethan resolved to trust in Johnathan's judgment, to respect the boundaries that he had set. Whatever secrets lay hidden in the shadows, they would face them together, united by a friendship forged in the crucible of adversity.
And what bothers Ethan Jones was, his friend wasn't telling him anything and he knew he wouldn't always be there to protect him , because one thing is for sure. They just stepped on a tigers tail and it's only a matter of time before they retaliate.
As Ethan and Johnathan walked to school, a heavy silence hung between them. It was unusual for them not to talk, but today was different. Ethan was bothered by something, and Johnathan seemed lost in thought too.
They walked side by side, each lost in their own worries and concerns.
"Jonathan is not saying anything, he used to be a loud kid with a lot of vibe but after the encounter with Jacoby and his comrades he kept quiet...why won't he tell me who those guys are?" Ethan said in his thoughts as he also kept mute.
The usual chatter and laughter that accompanied their morning walks was conspicuously absent, replaced by a huge tension that seemed to weigh down upon them.
The two boys walked to school. For the first time the both of them walked without saying anything to each other.
When they arrived, classes had started already, due to Ethan waking up late and the fight they ran into , they arrived a little late.
"Oh , the two wise men finally decided to humor us with their presence," a plump looking teacher said. He was known as Mr Hendrix . pot bellied , fat cheek and no hair in the middle of his head.
Uh.. We're sorry Mr Hendrix, we had something to take care off" Ethan Jones replied . He was actually hoping for Johnathan to come up with a lie since this was something he was pretty good at . but he's just been quiet, Ethan guess it had to do something with those guys back then.
"You guys are just unserious, you guys are just wasting your parents money, piece of advice for you guys , don't throw your life down the drain, be serious with your studies...now go sit your butts down" Mr Hendrix urged and the two boys did as they were told.
Classes were over , and it was now time for gym class.
Ethan Jones and Johnathan were on the basketball team. Although they never played a single game ever since they joined the school. Reason because this game isn't like the usual basketball ,where the players just bounce around and score.
This one is a more typical, intense , and dangerous kind.
Johnathan nodded, his mind swirling with questions and apprehensions. He couldn't shake the feeling that Ethan Jones was no longer the same person he once knew that he looked different.
