The Johns

Injuries

We went back to the mansion so that we can mend our wounds.

Aigis and Metis were the ones first aiding us since Sangster has some bruises as well.

"I don't get it." I said and everyone looked at me. "Why are we not going to the hospital?"

Khyle sighed. "Rumors might spread and our identity might be breach."

Right, they still think that my memories are gone. I need to act like that until I know who is working on the virus.

"Also, when did you guys dye your hair?" I asked them. Seriously, they changed hair color way too often.

They seemed hesitant to answer. Nate was the one who spoke up.

"We need to change now and then since people knows the color of the hair of The Johns." I raised them a brow.

"So, that means, people might notice us as them." Sangster said.

"Also, it is allowed in our school to dye our hair for that purpose." Gale said. His hair is even gray now.

"Wouldn't anyone notice that you guys specifically changed hair color way too often?" I asked.

"I don't know if you're that dense that you didn't even noticed by now that many students dye their hair as often as we do." Vonn said and the way he said it, it was as if he was sick of my existence already.

Jake went to sit beside me and let his arm go around my shoulders. I immediately flinched at his contact.

"Don't let them bother you." Jake said and I just looked at him.

Since I rememer the initiation night now, I rememeber Jake confessing his love for me that night. But, why am I reacting like this? I'm trained to not be that attached to people in this world where anyone can betray you.

"No, I'm used to it." I said and he smiled at me. And now that I noticed it, his hair is back to brown.

What if...no, i just can't just think like that. A.I said there was only one who is operating this virus spread and if all of them are what I am thinking then all of them are my enemies now and I can't risk any casualties if I keep thinking like this.

I opened my eyes and saw my room's ceiling. I immediately sat on my bed looking at the wall clock.

"Midnight." I muttered. How did I fall asleep and why am I here?

Since I'm a bit hungry I left my room and started to go down to the kitchen when I heard someone was talking.

I looked around me to see if there's anyone near me and saw none so I moved near the open door, hiding behind a large potted plant.

"When can the virus be spread?" A voice said. Wait, is it Vonn's?

"Maybe around a month since we just can't go to places where the components needed just like that, Eri would notice." Sangster?

"Aishh, then lets just drag her along us, as if it was a vacation from school." Henry?

"Now that I remembered, why did someone attacked the school?" That's definitely Gale's.

"Did anyone other than us knew that we got a mini lab there?" Jake?

"No one but Sangster's uncle." Nate?

"We almost didn't live to see the light that time, they almost defeated us." Khyle?

Why are all of them talkinf about this topic? Isn't it supposed to be a single John?

"Also, let's try to speed up the process." Nate said.
