Chapter 110: They Need you (1/2)

Once school had finished for the day, Frank decided to head home as soon as possible to initiate his plan. He had an idea and was hoping he would be able to convince Alex to come back to Montem's VSW club. Frank went through his wardrobe and fished out his now old Hershel uniform.

”I hope this will work.”

After putting on the Hershal uniform and getting Alex's home address from Scarlett, he was ready to start his plan.

He was now standing just outside of Alex's house in front of the gate. He took a deep breath before pressing the buzzer.

”Hello, how can I help?” Alex's mother said.

”Hi there, I'm a friend of Alex's from Hershal, He said he needed some help tutoring him so I decided to come by and help him,” Frank said as he held up his books and pens to the camera on the buzzer.

Alex's mother immediately recognized the uniform that Frank was wearing and was very pleased. Hershel had a good reputation as it was a grammar school. A lot of grammar schools got the best results in the country when it came to academic studies.

”Oh yes please, come in, come in.” Alex's mother said excitedly.

Then the next second the double-gated doors started to open immediately. When Frank entered the house Alex's mother was right there to greet him.

”I'm so happy my son stopped playing that silly game and now is starting to focus on his studies again.”

”Ah yes of course,” Frank replied.

Frank felt a little awkward lying to someone's parents like this but when the thought of his new teammates relying on him came into his head, he stuck with it.

Alex's mother went up the stairs to call Alex. When Alex was informed a friend had come to visit him, he had no idea who it was. Even if a friend did come to visit him his mother would most of the time just tell them Alex was too busy.

When Alex came down the stairs and saw Frank he was really surprised. Alex didn't even know that Frank had joined Montem school. After finding out he could no longer play the game anymore Alex had been in his own bubble. He didn't want to hear about VSW anymore and all he could do was study to help him forget about the pain.

After bringing the two of them some snacks Alex's mother left the two of them alone so they could study in Alex's room.

”What are you doing here Frank, I and you are hardly friends?” Alex asked.

”I'm here because your friends need you more than ever.”

Frank then went on to explain to Alex how he had joined Montem's VSW team and how he had taken the role of a leader there but it wasn't going so well.

”Why does it matter to me, I'm no longer part of that team,” Alex said.
