Trash of the School

You are sick!

It had already been some weeks since vacation were finished and the exam period had started. As Christmas-Holiday was coming in merely four weeks, all students were excited to go home and celebrate with their families. Well, most of them at least.

Cale stared at the blank white board while supporting his chin with his hand. He didn't even listen to the teacher properly, but the old man let it pass as Cale was his favorite student of all time. Yes, he liked Cale even better than the principal Eruhaben.

Cale was thinking about whether he would have to return to South Korea or if it'd be okay for him to stay here in Manchester. After all, his father hadn't called him yet, which maximized his chances for staying here. And even if his father would call, he had a good excuse – My body feels especially weak, I don't think I can fly over 14 hours right now...

It wasn't like he was lying as he felt himself getting even more tired around these days. His nosebleeds were more present and even Ron looked more worried than usual.

Cale sighed. As long as he wouldn't bleed in front of his class mates, it was alright. As he was now seventeen he should also be more careful with others knowing about his condition. The redhead shook his head and finally started to pay attention. It wasn't like he needed the lessons, but still. Better than thinking about his broken relationship with his family.

He still remembered too clearly how his father had ignored him after his mother's death and how he looked at him as if he was a cockroach. Yes, he looked disgusted by his own son. Cale sighed once more. He didn't even know how many times he had sighed today.

The lesson continued without him having to answer the teacher's question and he was honestly really thankful for that. After they were dismissed before the school bell rang, Alberu immediately went to Cale and stared down at him. Choi Han wasn't in class today due to the martial arts-club participating in a martial arts-competition with all different elite schools participating, so it were just him and Cale here.

"Why do you look so down today? What are you thinking about?"

Cale frowned as he shook his head.

"Nothing too important, just ignore it."

Alberu raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Nah, don't wanna. Just tell me."

Cale shook his head once more.

"It is some stuff that had something to do with the coming vacation, happy?"

Alberu wasn't happy with just this much and raised his index finger.

"Tell me just one thing that's bugging you but very detailed and I'm going to tell you one big secret. What about it?"

Cale sighed.

"You know that I'm not interested in stranger's secrets. That is such a stupid idea Alberu, even for you."

"So you are admitting that something's bugging you? What is it?"

Cale slapped his hand against his forehead. Yeah right, Alberu wasn't stupid as he was also extremely smart. There was a reason why he had been the top of the class before the redhead transferred. And Cale fell right into the trap Alberu had set for him.

"Well, I don't exactly want to go back to Seoul."

"And why?" //We're gonna burn the whole house down//

Cale sighed once more as he shook his head.

"Just the typical things, you know; family problems and all this stuff."
