Side effect & Billy

The students walked out of the academy hall with different expressions on their faces.

As Nathan was walking out, he saw Joey approaching him.

"It's been a while," Joey said.

"Hmm," Nathan replied shortly.

For some time, they have not spoken to each other, even after the battle in Zur academy.

"So….how have you been?" She asked.

"Fine." Nathan replied.

They continued walking before Nathan suddenly spoke up.

"Say it," Nathan said.

"Huh?!

"You want to say something, so, say it," Nathan said.

The way Joey was twirling her hair and twisting her fingers made it obvious that she wanted to say something.

"Uhm…the thing is that…something is wrong with Lena," Joey said.

"What do you mean?" Nathan asked.

His connection with Lena was perfectly okay, so, he was curious.

"I have been watching her for some time now and I've noticed that she gets angry easily these days."
