Part Thirty

After a few hours of waiting, they finally got loaded onto a bus. It was two to a seat, and Nick was sitting by Freya.

Right across from them was Matthew who just so happened to be next to Katherine. Katherine had a book in her hand, and she was absorbed into reading it.

Freya adjusted herself in the seat to find a comfortable position then closed her eyes.

“Wake me up when we get there if you don’t mind Nick.”

“It’s no problem, just make sure to dream of me.”

Freya smirked a little at his reply; she would just let her mind wander.

“If it happens, it happens.”

Nick wanted to keep the conversation going, but it is better if she gets her rest. It was six in the morning after all, and they had to wait outside for an hour before this.

His class had three buses, Darius was on this bus, but he was in the front. He was having a conversation with two of the female students that seemed to be intrigued by what he had to say.

He turned his attention to Katherine, and he asked himself what was so special about her. Besides her seeming to be cold towards others, he could not find a fault with her.

He gave up trying to think of a reason, no need to rack his brain on this matter.

Nick rested his eyes, but just because he could not see what was going on did not mean he couldn’t sense it.

“What is so special about him?”

Katherine who was staring into her book asked.

Matthew was the only person next to her, so she had to be talking to him. He glanced Nick’s way and saw that Freya’s head slowly tilted until it rested nicely on his shoulder.

“What do you mean? Why do you think he is special?”

“He has to be special to be trained by Furuta-sensei, but I just can’t figure out what makes him so special.”

Katherine started nibbling on her fingernail. Anyone would think the way she was acting now was cute.

“Who is this Furuta person?”

Katherine looked up from her book, glanced at Matthew then back to her book again.

“Nevermind, forget I said anything.”

Was she talking to him, or was she just talking out loud to herself? Matthew was not sure of the answer.

He rested his cheek on his arm as he gazed at Katherine. If he had to pick a person to become his future wife, he would pick her. Granted, earlier she ignored him… and now… she also seemed to ignore him. However, he could not get rid of this strange feeling in his heart.

Out the window, he saw a small light that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger as it got closer. His body felt something was wrong with that light; it kept telling him ‘move away, it is dangerous to be here.’

A vast majority of the students were sleeping; still, he seemed to be one of the only ones to notice.

Darius who was seated in the front snapped his neck in the direction of the light.

“Matthew!”

Nick shouted his name. He knew, there was no need to say it.

“I know already!”

Matthew hurried and replied with a shout of his own.
