Episode 15

Some time passed. I and David began to drift apart. He became more close to 'his friends'. It bothered me a lot. Because those boys had questionable characters and most of the students did not say good things about them. I had not really met them, but I have seen them around. They usually walked in a group of four or five. There were so many of them.

There were so many rumors going around campus about them. Some said they belonged to some sort of occult group. Others called them the Brotherhood. They were too scary for my liking. And David getting close to them was making me very uncomfortable so I decided to talk to him about it.

One afternoon after lectures, I found him seated on the bench in front of one of the lecture halls. I walked towards him and sat beside him when I got close. He looked at me and smiled at me.

"Hey man, how are you doing?" he asked.

"I am fine. I did not see you this morning. When I woke up, you were already gone," I replied.
