Human Kid (II)

24.

Suzanne sighed once the closing bell rang.

"Finally," she grinned to herself as she packed up her books in her bag.

Annabelle came to her seat just as she stood up.

"Suzanne," she started on a natural tone, "Since you guys aren't planning Ryan's birthday party anymore, we're going home together today, right?"

"Sure," Suzanne nodded and they both started walking out of the class.

"Pity you got sick some days ago," Annabelle commented.

"Yeah," Suzanne said. "I still can't believe Justin and Ryan fought over me."

Annabelle frowned slightly and pulled Suzanne back, "Don't let Justin know I told you. He so badly didn't want you to know about the fight."

Suzanne nodded.

Annabelle then kept her hands on her hips, "And also don't make it sound like that! Ryan would never fight over you. Like I told you before it was Justin that started the fight, and Ryan was only defending himself."

Suzanne looked smug.

"Yeah, but at least he was in a fight because of me. Has Ryan ever been involved in a fight, whether indirectly or not because of you?" she went on asking, feeling rather pompous.

Annabelle scoffed at her.

"That's nothing. You'll see," Annabelle snarled.

Her expression softened.

"He got injured on his leg during one of your trainings right?" she asked, feeling concerned.

"Yeah," Suzanne said and looked away.

"How's his leg?" Annabelle asked.

"It's better, at least he can walk properly. Unlike before," Suzanne told her.

They had reached class 4C already.

Justin was helping some girls out to explain a topic they treated in their class.

"Justin! We wanna leave!" Annabelle yelled at him as she and Suzanne stood by the doorway.

He looked up, so did the three girls that he was helping out.

"I have to go now, we'll see tomorrow," Justin smiled kindly at the girls. They waved him goodbye and he hurriedly jogged over to where Annabelle and Suzanne were standing.

"Hey guys," Justin said with a smile mainly directed at Suzanne.

"You're kinda famous, huh?" Suzanne said teasingly and jabbed him playfully on the ribs.

He laughed. "Not really."

"Let's go get Andrew," Annabelle said after rolling her eyes at the two friends.

On the way to class 4A they discussed about their different trainings and missions.

"Phew, somehow I'm glad that Marissa is not in my class," Suzanne said randomly.

Annabelle snickered, "Yeah, that witch. I pity my love, Ryan, though. Being stuck in the same class she is."

"Stop being mean Annabelle," Suzanne frowned slightly, "Sure she's annoying but that doesn't mean you should call her a witch. Besides, what has she ever done to you anyway?"

"Bah!" Annabelle snorted and crossed her arms as they managed to walk in a row in the crowded hallway, filled with other students rushing to different places.
