41 Into the City (1/2)

”Aww guys don't be like that, almost no one gets to see the headmaster.” Ava felt like going to the other side of the table and shoving the image of Ferron in front of their books. ”Only a few teachers know what he looks like and they see him a few times a year! So how come a new student is going there every day?”

This caught the two girls' attention. The new guy was visiting the headmasters' office every day? That's a privilege only a select few can get. Heather, the girl Ferron met in the elevator narrowed her eyes in suspicion. The man she met on the lift was a super nervous guy carrying a large egg, and she didn't know of the egg was real or not. 'I might have to start paying him more attention.' Heather thought in her mind.

The small girl, Kaia, kept quiet and stared. Her mind working at an unusually fast past. With a soft 'hmm' she looked back down at her books, Heather also following her example. Ava looked at the two uninterested people and drew a silent tear.

”We were sisters for so long! How could you do this!” Ava cried in her mind. She drooped her shoulder and went back to where she sat before. Listlessly looking at the different pictures in her hologram.

Night approached. The three girls were in their room, the door closed. Heather and Kaia were on the sofa in the center of the living room. Ava was waiting at the door looking through the peephole that was directly pointing at the opposite door. If Ferron were to see what she was looking at he would find the door a little familiar. Wait... It was his own door!

The two other girls just rolled their eyes at their crazy friend and went back to looking at their notes. Meanwhile, Ferron was making his way back to his room. He just landed on his floor and walked towards his room, the hallway was just as crazy as before. Most of the doors were open and some lawn chairs littered the hall. Some occupied but others empty.

Most of the girls stared at his face while he walked by, the guys curious of who Ferron popped their heads out of the door and watched him go by, a few seconds later they would shrug and head back to whatever they were doing.

A small black lizard was tucked away in Ferrons hoodie, wrapped around his waist. It felt uncomfortable for both the dragon and Ferron but this was the easiest way to get to his room without anyone noticing.

Ferron managed to get to his door but he felt something cold. Like a dagger piercing his back the entire time, he was in front of his door. The voice of the small dragon entered his mind.

”There's someone watching. Do you feel it?” Ferron was trained by an archangel, how could he not?

”I do, I'll deal with it later,” Ferron whispered as to not draw much attention. He unlocked the door and went inside, only then did the cold feeling stop. Ferron chuckled to himself. ”Being a reaper in training sure is convenient.” Not only did he notice someone staring at him, but he also pinned down where it was coming from.

Changing his clothes and making sure that the small dragon was comfortable in the bed he walked towards the door. Re-opening it he once again felt the cold slither down the back of his neck. He walked back outside, feeling the stars of some people. He ignored them, focusing on the cold stare, he walked towards the elevator.

”Hey!” someone shouted behind Ferron. He turned back and saw a small... boy? A 5'5” boy was looking up at Ferron who stared back. The boy put up a sweet smile and casually said, ”The front is locked in two hours. If you're going far I recommend coming back quickly.” Ferron stared back blankly before snapping out of his stupor and thanking the boy.

Outside Ferron looked both ways before deciding to take a right. His footsteps made no sound as they hit the sidewalk pavement, but his speed was increasing. In just a few minutes he had already left school grounds and made his way deep into the city. The city was just as lively as Ferron thought.

Even if it was late evening the number of people wasn't low, students, businessmen, and couples were bustling through the brightly lit streets. Restaurants had their doors wide open with an 'open' dancing with colours, tall towers loomed over them but it didn't dim anything. Instead, it offered more light with the glass doors showing the lobby overflowing with light. Ferron jogged past while taking in the sight. He felt like he was back home.
