Smith was just leaving the men’s rest room, on his way back to class when he heard a voice coming from the female’s toilet;
“We are getting lacklustre already, that Smith guy is unto us and it’s only a matter of time till he catches up to us” the first lady said.
The other lady murmured and Smith couldn’t hear a thing from what she said.
“So we aren’t dealing with just one person huh? And they are ladies too.” Smith soliloquized, moving closer to the door to hear them clearer.
“We can’t just ignore him” the first lady retorted
“I will take care of Smith myself” the second lady replied
“What!!!” Smith whispered
He continues;
“That sounds like…”
“And what is it you are doing standing in front of the ladies rest room?” Mr. Anderson asked , coming from nowhere.
“Uuuurrrr… I ummm… nothing sir” Smith replied, suddenly standing still, with his hands held at his back.
“Oh it’s you. Not much surprise there” Mr. Anderson said without wonder.
“Now get to your class before you get yourself in trouble” He continued, frowning out of disapprobation.
Smith continued on his way to class, but while on his way, he sees Carter’s locker slightly open again.
“Oh come on…!!!” he complained.
He walked up to the locker to check it out, he opened it completely;
“Now doesn’t this seem very intentional?” he soliloquised, feeling very suspicious. He looked into the locker and saw another note.
“Extracurricular period, you know where to find me” It read.
“Oh I do.” Smith said to himself tartly then continued on his way to the class after he slammed the locker close.
Carter and Smith were sitting together again at the cafeteria during the last break before the extracurricular period.
“It was a mistake” Carter said to Smith who was already irritated
“You could have stopped her if you didn’t want it” Smith retorted
“Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. If you want to be with her, there is no problem” Smith added
“Speaking like I ever asked for permission” Carter replied rolling his eyes and looking away.
“Alright it’s time to prepare for extracurricular activities” he said, tapping Smith on the shoulder.
“Go on, I will meet up with you in the court” Smith replied
Carter slowly spread his arms wide, simultaneously twisting his wrists outwardly and spreading his fingers.
“Suit yourself bro…” he said as he walked backward, smiling and still facing Smith.
“What a pucker things were in” Smith felt, brushing his forehead gently with his palm. He was putting so much effort in helping out Carter but it seemed Carter wasn’t even very concerned at all in finding out what was going on. What was the point in stressing himself so much for someone who didn’t even care, and for what? Carter didn’t even listen to him when he told him what he felt about Christine’s death, so why was he so much bothered about Carter anyway? And after the stunt the previous night with Angela, it seemed like Carter just wanted to move on and forget it all.
