@SOUTHVILLE INT'L SCHOOL

TOBI's POV

Dismissal!

Straight classes just ended. I really hate Thursdays. We only take a break at lunchtime. But Jake didn't come. He’s absent and we don’t know why. We can’t contact him. He doesn't even reply to our texts. Jeez. Where is that guy?

"I don't have any idea either. Just what he just told me yesterday, he just can’t be able to go to my house this weekend." Elle said.

We are currently here in the school cafeteria, eating lunch, as usual.

"Why?" Gab asked.

She shrugged her shoulders. "That's what I don't know. He didn't tell me the reason and I didn't ask him either. But I think it has something to do with his father."

"I think so. Anyway, maybe he's just busy today. Since Jasmine isn't here, he's Uncle's right hand for the meantime." I said.

"Right." Gab agreed.

"But there's something strange," Zed commented, so the three of us looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Elle asked in confusion.
