Chapter 17: Why Do We Care?

Morning, 7:47 AM

"Another day at Arcane Haven, following the day after tussle between Melvin and Ethan. Melvin and Leo were preparing for their classes, Melvin with bandages on his face and Leo sporting minor scratches."

[Narration through Melvin's point of view]

"Gotta admit, last night was pretty wild. Second fight since arriving here. But it wasn't my fault, was it?

After the president left, Ethan and Lui just stood up and left...........without a word.......
Leo and I had to take Ryuza to his room - Cause ofcourse....leo had no idea how to undo the paralyze effect -_-

Also...my face..... It's messed up, thanks to Ethan treating it like a punching bag. *Sigh* Now, I've got bandages around my face. I could lie to Mam and sir about falling and hurting myself, but what worries me is Aria and Mia. I can't lie to them......

No point in lying to be honest; Mia can easily detect it.
Wonder if Aria will be upset because I didn't heard her and went off to deal with Ethan last night....."

--

"Leo and Melvin step out of the room, heading towards their classes. Both walk calmly, Leo with his hands behind his head and Melvin with his hands in his pockets."

Leo notices Melvin's face: "Miss Karin is going to ask about your face, you know?"

Melvin, expressionless: "Yeah, can just tell some lie......"

Leo: "So, sticking to the plan of keeping last night quiet?"

Melvin: "Yup... It's also about pride. Can't go back on my word... I hope that guy does the same."

Leo chuckles: "Speak of the devil..."
*They spot Ethan and Lui on the road, Ethan holding plasters and bandages*

.
"Stares stares"
.

Awkward silence 😐
.
.

Melvin, feeling awkward: "Uh... •_•"

Ethan looks annoyed, turns away, and walks off. Leo and Melvin continue their way, starting to argue.

Leo: "Looks like he's ignoring us now..."

Melvin: "I'm just curious how he got those plasters 🤔"

*While Ethan and Lui clearly overhearing their conversation while walking ahead*

Leo jokes: "Must have got some serious damage last night?"

Melvin: "I don't recall him getting any injuries; he was paralyzed most of the time 🤔"

(Ethan's expression up front: -_-)

Leo, teasingly: "Heheheh, maybe he's faking it hehehe"

Melvin: "Wonder why... Oh yeah, for sympathy 🤭?"

Ethan, hearing their conversation, gets annoyed, turns around, and shouts: "IT WAS YOU WHO DID THIS, MORON!! HOW COULD YOU FORGET SMASHING ME TO THE GROUND!??
.
.
*Awkward silence*
.
.

Leo, nervously: "Oh, uh, hehe, did you hear us? Hehe 😅"

Ethan realizes he's made it more awkward: "Tch! NOTHING!" *Turns away, annoyed*

Melvin: "Whoops, totally slipped my mind..."

Leo: "Well, he seems kinda quiet... probably because of the meeting with the president."
