Chapter 209: Party? (1/2)

For nearly two hours, Alex couldn't sleep at all. After how horrible the night had been, the feeling of being betrayed still left a bad aftertaste in him. He saw where the problem lied, he knew he was good to others. But he would have never imagined that someone could do such a horrible thing to their own savior.

”He must've lied about how he became a criminal too,” Alex thought. Nobody capable of doing such a thing could be a simple thief.

The other thing that had horrified him was the reaction he had shown to betrayal. He had nearly killed the man. Although the man had tried to kill him too and definitely deserved it, he was still shocked that he could even think of doing such a thing.

”At least I didn't kill him. I don't think I am capable of that right now,” he thought. His master had said that he would have to kill to survive in this cruel world very soon. He didn't want the very soon to become now.

However, if push came to shove, he wouldn't hesitate to do that either. Just like what he did today, he knew deep down, that he was capable of doing that as well. No, he had to be capable of doing that.

”You can't live a kind soul in a world of cruel ones. You end up getting even more tainted.” Alex decided to forget about everything and fell asleep.

Early in the morning at around 7 am, he woke up from his sleep. He quickly freshened up and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Surprisingly, Hannah wasn't up yet. So, he decided to return the favor for her, and make some toast and eggs.

By the time he was done, Hannah had already come out of her room.

”Wow, I thought I smelled something nice. What are you making?” she asked.

Alex served him and his cousin as he put the breakfast on the table and said, ”Toast and Eggs. Come sit. You've been preparing me food for so long, so I decided to return the favor.”

”Oh, you didn't cut your finger again right?” Hannah teased. It was either this or something about Emily that she always teased him with.

”Oh, right. I need to ask you about something,” Hannah said.

”Yeah, go ahead,” Alex said inquisitively.

”So, on upcoming Saturday, Sarah has asked me to go shopping with her for the new capsules. It will be us 4 and some of her other friends, I think. Do you think it's a good idea to throw a small celebration party of some sort afterward?” she asked.

”Saturday? I don't know, sister. I have something important going on in the game around that time, and I don't know if I can leave that or not,” he said.

”Important?” Hannah was surprised. ”How important?” she asked.

Alex thought for a bit and said, ”Depending on the time frame, I might have to skip classes that week.”
