Chapter 47: Follow the mist (2/2)
School toilets, although they were being cleaned regularly and this one hadn’t been used today, weren’t exactly the most clean places
“Hey Gil, don’t you think this is taking things a bit too far?” Barry asked, but Gil didn’t see
The next moment, he shoved To hi this a s total control of another hu this to ht as he was cursing at his life ‘I didn’t even tell hi to protect your sorryhis head out of the water, To because all he was doing was trying to breathe
“This isn’t enough” Gil declared after dunking him a couple of times
Barry realised that his friend had lost it, yet it seemed too late to stop him and worse of all noas apart of whatever was about to happen
——
Out on the field, Gary had joined the club practice He noticed that Toreen mist he could see that he was still soby in the first place, so it didn’t matter if he was on time to not and it didn’t seeht it wasn’t so strange
Before the lesson started, Mr Root had pulled Gary to the side
“Listen here, broccoli head, I don’t knohat exactly , but let er probleressive nature You didn’t really seeis, there is an easy fix “
“Use that pent up anger, frustration whatever is inside you, out on the field Use it to run faster from the others, use it to snatch the ball out of their hands, and use it to tackle theround, because on the field all of that is allowed”
The practice had started, and the words that Mr Root used had spurted Gary on In today’s practice he was playing even better than before He was sharper as if his eyes were glued to the ball It was strange because his technique and play tactics weren’t as sharp as someone like Blake, but he made up for it with his talent
Eventually, Gil and Barry also arrived on the field Naturally, they got a scolding fro a few laps, they were allowed to join in the practice game
Both of them tried to tackle Gary when he was in possession of the ball but they were too slow Instead a couple of the faster, lighter students et a hold of him Still, Gary with his poas able tohiame
Both Blake and Gary were praised as if they had won the world cup, the two of theood match as a team
“You two!” Mr Root said “If you can repeat what you did today on the weekend, we are going to destroy Eton High!”
Gary was enjoying the praise just like he had done on Friday, and hisAlthough Rugby practice was nearly over, Tom wasn’t on the bench, his mist was still in the school Once it was over, To to the locker room, Gary decided to head indoors and follow the o to school, but lessons are over anyway so it won’t ht as he was too concerned for his friend to care even if that wasn’t the case
He was surprised to find thehim to the toilets, especially since they weren’t too far away froh, Gary was now even more concerned because his nose picked up a scent he had recently become overly familiar with
‘Blood!’
He quickly pushed the door open, and followed theon the ground, his front teeth shattered with blood spilling out on the toilet seat
