Helanie:
I wanted to tell her and remind her it was she who brought this upon herself when she befriended Sydney, but I didn’t. I just gave her a simple reply that I thought would help her realize our friendship now had a huge dent.
"I deserved the punishnt, didn’t I?" I lied down, but she bolted upright in a jolt.
"Gavin told you that, didn’t he? Don’t you see he’s doing that so our friendship gets ruined?" she spoke hastily, using a bitter tone and not caring about the volu to the point that she got the attention of Lamar.
"No! I did, and let tell you so breaking news: you’re responsible for this ss. You wanted to befriend Sydney and then taunt and mock Helanie to stay on Sydney’s good side. Dude, you are so done. So why not shut the heck up and sleep?" Lamar didn’t play this ti—he actually yelled at her.
That was shocking. Lamar usually doesn’t raise his voice at won, so for her to piss him off this much explained how wrong she was heading and how oblivious she was for putting the bla on instead.
Lucy went silent and then slowly crawled under her blanket. I heard her whimper, but I noticed Lamar sit up in his bed and make a huge cross with his arms, signaling not to check on her. I agreed with him and went to sleep.
Although I knew she was dealing with a lot after coming back from that coma, I had to give her a nudge to wake up and get back on the right path.
We woke up early and joined the brothers on the training ground. They all avoided like I didn’t exist.
"Let’s pick our teams, shall we?" Norman clapped his hands, stepping forward to face the students.
Emt had his hair in a loose man bun, strands of his hair dancing around his face.
"Helanie," before others could even agree that they were ready to pick, Emt went ahead and said my na. I was taken aback by the sudden na call.
Not just , but everyone turned their heads toward . It wasn’t common for the trainers to pick soone right away like that.
"Wait, we have to first decide who will go first," Norman smiled, almost like he was laughing uncomfortably when reminding his brother to follow the rules.
"We can do it now, but I already had a pick. So you guys can go ahead and decide who will go next," Emt disagreed with him, making Maximus shake his head.
"I think we should go from the start," he said.
"Why? I only picked one person. Unless you want her on your team, I think it’s okay for us to just move forward," Emt sounded so aggressive as he refused to restart.
"Okay!" That was the first ti I watched Norman look so unhappy.
I could tell it wasn’t because his brother picked . I an, one of them would have picked eventually, right?
The others then started to do rock-paper-scissors, and in that mont, I watched them genuinely laugh and push each other back when they all selected paper.
They were so close to each other, so it was going to be hard for if one of them turned against . Thankfully, Kaye hadn’t bothered today. But it could be because Norman and Emt were at the ground today.
"Okay, I’ll go next," Norman said, but before he could continue, he turned to his brothers and gave them one look before saying, "Sydney."
Wow!
Why did he choose her? I had to shake my head to stop acting like he shouldn’t when he had every right to. Why was I getting upset?
"Lamar," Kaye stepped ahead and picked Lamar, and my face instantly lost its color.
"I think we should pick friends in one team so they’re more at ease with each other," Norman said to Kaye, making believe he was actually showing concern.
"Gavin!" And then Maximus called out to Gavin, almost like dismissing Norman’s request and agreeing with Kaye.
They were picking my friends only, so they were targeting .
I was so bothered that I instantly looked down.
"Jenny," and the way Emt also picked my friend confird the brothers’ line was all about at that mont.
"Salem," Norman said, keeping the "bitchy" ones, or he thought they were, in his group.
"Penn!" Kaye yelled, and I grimaced.
"Lucy!" Maximus certainly didn’t know she was no longer my friend, so he picked her.
At this point, it was a shitshow, and I could tell Norman and Emt were not happy about it. But the younger ones were on a mission to bother .
In the end, I was left with the strangers, except for Jenny and Hans Willerk. He was the one in Sydney and Salem’s team back when we were doing the frogster cage task. I rembered him from there. He was a ssy one. So ssy that even Sydney and Salem had distanced themselves from him.
After the whole team-up was done and we had already done so exercises, our classes were finished.
I was seriously left with a sour taste in my mouth for the day. But as I was heading back to the academy with my friends catching up with , I noticed a number pop up on my screen.
Then I received a text from the unknown caller.
Unknown: Pick up my call. You know .
I frowned, staring at my screen that kept lighting up with the call.
"Hey, are you okay?" Lamar arrived, his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I’m getting a call. But the unknown caller says I know them," I showed him my screen.
"Then attend the call. Maybe it’s soone from old school or soone you’ve t before," Gavin didn’t realize it wouldn’t be that easy for to attend a call from soone I had known before coming to the academy.
If it was indeed soone from my past, then I’m freaking screwed.
