Chapter 98: Final words (1/2)

All of the club members were currently in the VSW club room apart from Alex. Each one of them was discussing the results they got for the test that term. Everyone was surprised by Novis's test results being the lowest out of the four of them and surprised that Dan was quite clever.

”Hey so what do you think Alex got?” Ashley asked.

”Oh right, you're only a first-year so you don't know do you?” Scarlett replied. ”The thing is Alex gets the number one spot in school all the time without fail.

”Wow his that good, maybe I should ask him to tutor me some time.”

”Speaking of Alex, where is he, shouldn't he be here by now,” Dan said.

Just then, every single one of them received a message on their phone.

”Oh, it looks like Alex isn't coming today,” Scarlett said as she read the message on her phone. ”That's strange he didn't say anything earlier, maybe something happened?”

”Well, what do you want to do?” Novis asked.

Scarlett thought for a while before replying.

”Maybe it's best if we just take a break for today, we all have that interview tomorrow from Tick so think about what you want to say to them. We can't make the team look bad.”

Everyone nodded and then started to head home.

Of course, Alex was already on his way home but he was walking back slower than ever. Alex's mind was occupied with what he would say to his parents when he saw them.

After walking slowly for a good 20 minutes he had finally arrived home. Alex took a big deep breath before going in.

”I'm home!” Alex shouted as he usually did when he stepped through the front door.

Alex then took off his shoes before going into the kitchen where his mum would usually be at this time of day preparing dinner. Due to both of his parents working as doctors, they were quite strict with their schedule, everything happened at a perfect time and Alex could predict where his parents would be, or what they would be doing because of this.

”How was school?” His mum asked as she just finished putting something in the oven.

Alex put on a brave face before replying.

”It was great, I got called up in front of the school today to congratulate me.”

”Oh really, was it because of your grades!” His mum said excitedly.

”No, it was actually because we entered the quarter-finals of the VSW tournament I was in.”

His mum didn't reply as her excitement quickly went away.

”You remember the tournament I was talking about…” Alex continued but there was no interest from her as usual.

Alex then put his bag down on the table and took out his test result. He stared at the score once again and took a gulp this time before speaking.
