Previously, on 1 Month to Confession:

EVIE: By the way, w-where is J-John? I thought that y-you two are best f-friends. Everyone knows of it.

SERAPHINA: (sigh) That's the thing. I've been looking for him since a while ago but he hasn't even showed up. We... We had a fight two days ago because of something. I was planning on apologizing to him today because I let my emotions get the best of me & I didn't even hear his side of the story. (looking at Evie & Roland) So I thought, maybe you three have seen him?

TERRENCE: Well, the last time I saw him was yesterday. I was walking back towards the dorms after my class just ended when I saw him from afar, lying on the ground in front of the dorm entrance, completely unconscious & beaten up. I was about to help him when I saw a man in his mid-forties rushing towards him, trying to wake him up. When he didn't, he immediately carried him carefully & rushed outside the school. So I ended up following them instead to know where he is taking John.

SERAPHINA: H-Hospital?! Are you sure?!

APHRODITE: (contemplating)... John, there is something that you need to know. The truth is... I'm alive.

SERAPHINA: (sobbing) You're awake.

JOHN: (tries to remember) ... No. All I remember is that I was going to return back to the dorms after... After Sera shunned me. I can't remember anything after that.

[2:45 pm; At Kholik Hallway* in Wellston High...]

(* Kholik Hallway: Does it exist in UnOrdinary? If not, please correct me. I forgot the names of the hallways in Wellston & I have no time to check it out.)

<Third Person's POV>

Step.

Step.

Step.

The clicking sound of shoes can be heard along the hallway. A tall blonde teenager w/ slit blue eyes & a pair of studs in his ears wearing a full Wellston uniform sans the vest can be seen walking along the corridor w/ a serious expression on his face. This guy's name is Arlo, the former King who is now demoted officially to Jack after he lost in a fight against John aka Joker TWICE. Right now, he is lost in his own thoughts.

ARLO: (wears a serious expression on his face) It's been 3 days now since John disappeared. And Seraphina's been going outside of school for 3 days as well, not that it has been the first time since she's done that. However, her behavior confuses me. It's as if she's in a hurry for something. Strange.

???: (calling Arlo's attention)---lo. A---o. Arlo!

The person walking beside Arlo was able to call his attention successfully.

ARLO: (looking at the person beside him) What is it, Holden?

The guy, Holden, who is apparently one of Arlo's closest friends, looks at him w/ a worried expression on his face.

HOLDEN: (worried) I've been calling you for over 3 minutes already, man. Are you alright?

ARLO: (facing away) Yeah. I'm fine. Why is that?

HOLDEN: It's just that you've been spacing out & I've been calling on your attention for like 3 minutes already.

ARLO: ... By the way, do you know what Seraphina's been up to lately?
