Pants escaped the male's lips as he held down onto his bleeding hand, a small trail of blood followed behind him. ' ' 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭. . .𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧. . . ' ' He placed his uninjured hand against a nearby building. Slowly he rested his back against the wall and slid down to the ground. ' ' 𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐭. . .𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭. . . ' ' He placed his hand off to the side, his eyes slowly started to close. ' ' 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝. . .𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤. . .𝐧𝐚𝐩. . . ' ' His eyes then shut.

' ' Lucas. . . Lucas. . . ! Lucas ! ' '

His eyes suddenly widen to an empty classroom, rubbing his eyes he looks around the room only to see a girl standing infront of the desk infront of him.

' ' Jesus Lucas. I thought you were knocked out cold for a minute there. . .another sleepless night ? ' ' The girl grabs a chair and pulls it up to the desk, taking a seat infront of him.

' ' 𝐈. . .𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡. . .𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. . .𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞. ' ' He placed his hand against his head with a sigh escaping his lips. He looks down at his notebook to see he's only taken a few notes over the lesson from today. ' ' 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐭. . .𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧- ' '

Before he could even finish his sentence the girl put her notebook on the table, the first two pages were filled with notes and small sketches. ' ' There ya go, you're lucky me and you are friends otherwise I wouldn't be doing this ' ' She let out a small giggle as she placed her hand up against her chin. ' ' So lazy ass, how are you gonna explain to the teacher you not paying attention this time ? ' ' A smug grin slowly spreads on her lips.

Lucas sighs and shakes his head in response. ' ' 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚. . .𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬. . . ' ' He twirls the pencil around his fingers before he started to copy the notes into his notebook. ' ' 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰 ? 𝐈𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞. ' '

The girl simply shrugs her shoulders. ' ' Not a clue, guess I'm just really good at writing stuff down ! Plus it's not like the sketches are full drawings. That one right there is just a little cat face ! ' ' She placed her finger against her notebook with a smile. ' ' I can probably do better if I really wanted to ! ' '

' ' 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. ' ' Once he was done copying the notes he placed his pencil in the crevice of the page and closed the notebook. ' ' 𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 ? ' '

' ' He's not my boyfriend, Idiot ! I mean. . . Not. . . Yet. . . Look I'm still working up the courage to ask him out ok ! This stuff takes time ! ' ' She closed her own book and crossed her arms. ' ' Asshole- ' '

Lucas froze and let out a small chuckle, waving his hand. ' ' 𝐀𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐀𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐧 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. 𝐈'𝐦 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥. ' '

' ' Don't say that ! I think it's really cool ! Plus you're trying to get into reptiles right ? Just keep pushing Lucas. I'm sure you can do it. ' ' She placed her hand against his back, giving him a reassuring smile.

' ' 𝐈. . .𝐡𝐚𝐡𝐚. . .

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚. . . ' '

Suddenly the classroom vanished into the darkness. . .

A short gasp of breath escaped him as he shoots up banging his head against the lamp above him. ' ' 𝐎𝐰. . .𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝. . . ' ' He looks over at his hand seeing it all patched up. Looking around reveals he's back at the warehouse. Infront of him was Sasha, Julian, Ace, and. . .

His eyes quickly widened, holding his hand out letting Viper trail up his arm and into his hand where the serpent opened its mouth letting a sharp blade extend from its throat. ' ' 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 ' ' He held the blade out towards Nova.

' ' 𝑶𝒉 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 ! 𝑨𝒄𝒆 ! 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒇𝒊𝒗𝒆 ! ' '

Julian held his hand out in the air where Ace then gives him a high five.

' ' 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍 ' '

' ' Lucas it's ok ! Nova is on our side now ! Just breathe and relax. . . ' ' She walks over to him placing her hand gently against his back.

' ' 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗮 ! 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮' 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲. . .𝘆'𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄

Lucas remained silent, looking up to Sasha for confirmation.

Sasha simply nods her head.

' ' . . .𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞. . . ' ' The snake slowly slithers back down his arm and back into his hoodie. ' ' 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵. ' '
