chapter 3

The bell rang loudly signalling the end of the class. Ares, Roy, and Opze strolled out of their class without haste. Both Roy and Opze were having a conversation about girls. Ares glanced around coldly, hands in his pocket. His eyes mysteriously settled on a girl down the hallway. He strolled towards her with confidence after all he was one of the most popular students. The other students gawked at him. It was unbelievable that the cold Ares would go to meet another student, a junior for that matter. He hovered above her like a predator. Ares was intimidating, everyone knew it, he knew it too but he didn't give a damn in fact, he liked it. The fear in their eyes gave him joy. He called out to her

"Hey" his voice deep-toned.

She shook, scared and panicky.

"Hi" she managed to say.

"what's your name?" he asked indifferently.

"Akira," she said again, agitated.

"Nice to meet you" he took out his hands from his pocket in an attempt to shake her. She nervously shook his hands. He withdrew his hands from her's

"see you later," He said walking away without bothering to listen to her reply.

"Bruh, what was that about," Roy asked giving a curious glance to the girl.

"Nothing, I just felt like talking to her," He said nonchalantly.

"Very soon he would feel love for her" Opze joked.

Both Ares and Roy gave him a mystified look.

"what?" He asked."have I got something in my eye?" he made an exaggerated panicky face.

Roy chuckled softly " would you stop being such a joker?"

"Nah" Opze replied again

"Fuck you man" Ares finally spoke.

"Sheesh," Roy joked.

Ares smiled.

The trio walked out of the school, all going towards their homes.

"See you both tomorrow," Roy said while waving.

Both Ares and Opze waved before all of them headed towards their houses.

Ares strolled home casually, fully absorbed in his thoughts.

"Fuck Allen," he screamed in his head. He brought out his phone from his bag. He scrolled on his message list, finally settling on the contact 'therapist lady'. He sent her a text wishing she would reply instantly. She wasn't a therapist he only gave her that name 'cause she gave him the best advice.

After several minutes of walking, he got home, he took off his clothes, threw them in the laundry basket and then took a cold bath.

He grabbed his towel after he was done, and cleaned off all the water on him. He wore fresh clothes, a round neck black shirt and baggy long black trousers.

Taking out his phone, he smiled seeing the notification of text from both his therapist and blue jay.

He entered into the chat with 'therapist lady'

Therapist lady: Hey.

Ares: Where have you been lady?

She was going to reply late so he decided to text blue jay

Bluejay: Hey.

Ares: Hi.

Bluejay: where have you been fucker?

She replied fast, that's why he liked talking to her and for another complicated reason.

Ares: In your mind😏

Bluejay: You which

Ares: Anyways why did you text?

Bluejay: Can't text you without reason?

Ares: Yes you can, it's just that I might be a bit busy soon.

Bluejay: Nothing really, just wanted to talk to you.

A loud female voice called onto him.

'Mom' he thought

Ares: Bye Bluejay.
