Chapter #43: Results (2)

--- Wellston Boys Dormitories, John's Room ---

A new day in Wellston.

As part of their routine, most of the students get up early in the morning.

And so was John, who got up early than usual.

He couldn't sleep well like he was doing until now.

After that, he checked the alarm, and it was 5:30 AM.

He tried to go back to sleep, but he couldn't.

In the process, he heard that Doe was making noises like he was about to bark.

*That's weird...*  John thought.*I'll go check what's happening.*

Thus, John gets up from his bed, went over there.

Then, he checked that the door where Doe was sleeping was open.

So, he turned on the lights and checked what was happening.

And saw Blyke, with a backpack.

At first, Blyke thought of leaving.

But later on, after everything that has happened.

He chooses to stay.

Not because he had faith in him.

But because he believed in Remi's opinion about John.

- "What the f*ck are you doing here?" John asked him.

- "Well... yesterday, the headmaster wanted to talk a few things with me." Blyke answered.

- "Mostly, because of what you already know, that I was being a vigilante." He explained.

- "Is that so..." John let out.

- "Then why are you not suspended?" He bluntly asked.

- "People who have been discovered of doing such things don't end up with just sending you to your room." He explained.

- "Yeah, I was expecting something like that as well..." Blyke said, agreeing with that.

- "But honestly, with everything going around here, I need to do help somehow.

Even though he wasn't obligated to do so, he didn't have any reason to hide this from John.

- "Also, why the hell are you so early here?" John asked him.

- "I just wanted to avoid awkward moments." Blyke answered with honesty.

- "Yeah, you pretty much nailed it." John said sarcastically.

- "Anyways, I was surprised to see a dog here." Blyke said, trying to change the topic.

- "What is his name?" He asked.

- "Doe." John bluntly answered.

- "Huh..." Blyke let out.

- "What?" John asked.

- "Nothing, it just feels fitting for some reason." Blyke explained.

- "At least he's not using my bed for sleeping..." He added.

- "I wouldn't be so sure about that." John said back.

- "Goddammit." Blyke said.

- "Whatever." John said, trying to finish the conversation.

- "I'm going back to sleep now." He added since he was really sleepy and not in the greatest mood at the moment.

And so, John returned to sleep.
