RENN
So here I am again, back to Emerald Houston. Things are looking great like usual, so I have no complaints here.
Only... I do have a very important question, it's a little rude to think about it during Math class with my elbows resting on the armchair in deep thought... But it has been stuck in my mind for a while now, and I can't help but wonder...
"(Where in the world is Jessie?)"
Why in the world would she be absent on a normal school day like this?
Is she sick? Did she get injured? Did she get bullied? Nah, I'm a little over reactive on that last part, bear with me.
She's not the type of student to cut either, so... What gives? Damn, I'm already getting worried and it's EARLY IN THE FREAKING MORNING!
THE WORLD DOESN'T HAVE TO TORTURE ME WITH THE "EARLY" STUFF, OKAY?! I'M JUST RESPONSIBLE WITH MY TIME, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN YOUR FACE ABOUT BEING EARLY AND THINGS HAPPENING EARLY MORNING!
Putting my mental outbursts aside, I looked at Syrra who was heavily concentrated on the lecture and problem sets. Well, bothering her right now isn't going to help her right now, but I thought she'd have any idea as to why she is absent.
A few minutes later and a small piece of folded paper is on my armchair. I opened it to read:
"Worried about Jessie? You look bothered. But I can't blame you, for she didn't tell me why she's suddenly absent. But I can tell you to calm down, she's probably alright.
—Syrra—"
I was a little skeptical, having a doubtful look on my face reading this... But I just didn't choose to pursue this any further because I'm in Math class. Maybe later...

3 hours and 30 minutes later...
A rare early lunch. I went to the canteen, and I saw Syrra and Jenna on the same table. 2 rare events in one, but Jessie still lingers in my mind.
"Renn!" I snapped back to reality as Syrra noticed me and waved. I went to them.
"2nd time I see you in uniform, and you look like you're in depth about something." Bull's eye, Jenna.
"Jessie's just absent, I find that strange." I answered.
"Like I mentioned, she didn't tell me why she's absent... If I know, Jenna would know as well since we both use the same phone. But don't fret, She'll be alright!" I took a deep breath as Syrra patted me on the shoulder.
"I guess..." I began eating.
Nothing much happened between us three, just eating peacefully.
"But why do you worry about her so much for just one absence?"
Jenna broke the silence, and that question made me almost choke on my food. I swallowed in reflex and looked at her.
"I-Is it bad?" I look down, slightly embarrassed.
