Chapter 7: Back to school. (1/2)
"Back to school, huh?" Arthur sighed out loud as he exited the vehicle of his father's secretary and stared at the school's entrance from a distance
"You've been hospitalised for less than a week, why are you acting like it's been years?" The secretary laughed at his own joke, but it didn't see master had heard him "I'll pick you up at the end of the day, call me if you need to leave earlier"
"Ah, yeah, thank you Donovan" Arthur had snapped out of his daydrea and responded, he closed the car door and waved his chauffeur goodbye before he turned around and walked towards the school "I'h the doorway, a wave of nostalgia hit him This was technically his alic, but the feeling of déjà vu blended with it, causing Arthur to feel strange
He ht of hoards of teenagers claht hallway h, but he realised he would soon find himself in that position, as soon as he could remember where his locker actually was
Arthur continued walking down the hall, the sight of a couple fa back even
After laboriously escaping the hoard, Arthur found himself in a wide room that led to more hallways, there was a staircase in the far end of the roo to the second floor Arthur walked towards the staircase and began his ascent, at the very least he knew that his locker was upstairs, the unpleasantto climb stairs several times a day never escaped his mind
The top floor contained a crossroads that extended into three ht and walked towards the end As he approached the end, he saw the start of another hallway leading left, and from around the corner, he could hear voices
"Seriously, we're gonna be late, can't you just move over?" A male voice echoed down the hall, it was somehiny, but also contained a trace of desperation
What cahter froroup, Arthur felt a sense of familiarity with the first voice, but also dread as he re on
As Arthur turned the corner, his thoughts were instantly confirers loitering around, blocking access to a section of lockers, while a two smaller individuals stood nearby
Those two smaller individuals just so happened to be Arthur's closest friends, who both had their lockers next to his, one on either side, roup
As Arthur walked towards the group that was harassing his friends, the loudest one within the group noticed him and spoke out "Oh ho ho, if it ain't Arthur, where have you been for the past three days?"
Arthur sighed internally, he was mentally an adult, so he really didn't want to put up with the harassan forave a quick response, "Hospital"
As he roup, he stared the loud one down Arthur was ever so slightly taller than hihed him, he was superior to this child in every other way The only reason he ever got bullied was because he didn't enjoy physical activity or large groups, he pushed people away and ignored the himself to be an outcast when he could have been the centre of attention
"Move" Arthur uttered one coroup somewhat surprised, Arthur's personality was usually quite timid, but he suddenly obtained a spine?
The loud child in front of Arthur felt insulted, how dare he look down on him, he was about to act until he heard the next words Arthur spoke
"So, I just found out, your father works for iven in somewhat ominous voice, intended to be taken as a threat "Plan your next move carefully, Ruslan"
