Despite surviving the full moon, the amount of things Gary had on his mind hadn't really reduced. For some reason he had put this one in particular to the back of his mind. Perhaps because it had been the first thing he had been confronted with after reverting back, or maybe it was because Blake being an Altered Hunter seemed as unbelievable as him being a Werewolf.
'Man what is it with this school? Does it have some special attraction to strange people? I'm seriously starting to worry about running into vampires, dragons, demons or the like… Out of everyone, why did HE have to be an Altered Hunter?'
Planning to avoid the confrontation, Gary decided to do the easiest thing. He lifted his hand to wave at the other… and then, tried to promptly walk right past Blake. However, as he did, a shadow was cast in front of him. The high schooler quickly moved to the other side, yet the shadow copied him. It was clear that the young Altered Hunter was blocking his way.
'Come on! You really want to do this, in school of all places? I can't get into any more trouble! I just came back after being excluded for an entire week! Look, I'm pretending that I never saw you, that everything was just a bad dream yesterday, so why can't you do the same?!' Gary was screaming internally, as he decided to go for a spin, trying to get past his schoolmate.
Right now, Gary was imagining himself on the field with the rugby ball in his hands, and he was trying to get past one of the defenders. Unfortunately, Blake seemed to have predicted this and was already in the right position to catch him.
'Shit. Couldn't things have gone my way for once?!'
Blake, placed his hand on Gary's shoulder quite confidently and leaned in so no one else would hear.
“Look, I'm not too eager to have 'that' conversation either, but we really need to talk about yesterday. Don't worry, I'm not planning to do anything else to you. Let's just head to the bench outside near the art block. I believe it's in both our interests to decide what to do next.” Blake whispered, before he patted the other on the back and continued on his way.
'Well, a talk doesn't sound too bad, but I haven't even had time to think about what to say! Damn it, Blake is a nice guy, right? I mean, he let me go yesterday in the woods. Surely, he wouldn't lie to me to try and kill me now. We're in school with far too many potential witnesses. If he really wanted to, he could have approached me outside of school.'
Being relatively sure that it was safe, he decided to follow behind the other. Nobody found it too strange that they walked together. Although they hadn't won the match, everyone in school knew that Eton High had beat up nearly all the regulars. Gary had only recently become one, and their teamwork had secured them a draw, making the two of them the superstars of the Rugby club!
Alas, Gary was being reminded just how popular Blake actually was. Everyone went out of their way to greet him, a few girls even stopped by to bring him gifts. The high schooler wasn't too sure, but he wouldn't be surprised if some of those cookies had been baked early in the morning just for Blake...
'And that is why you're dangerous, Gary, because of your beliefs. I hope I won't ever have to pick between you or my father...'
