In Deepest Minds: Book Two

Chapter Two: Return to Veco Academy

In the morning, I woke up, and then I went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. Then I went to the wardrobe and change my clothes or something. Some yellow t-shirt and black jacket. Again, I looked at the mirror and check myself.

I have black short hair with brown eyes. I keep on telling you that I'm not that attractive when it comes to girls and all of that. But Jake thinks I'm smart and I'm not. I don't know if I am smart, in some way. But I think that I'm not, I guess.

As usual, my parents went to work again and then I was alone at this house again. I guess I have to go to school again by bus. I walked to the nearest bus stop just to go to the school again.

I went on the bus and then I give him the money and said.

"To the Veco Academy please,"

The bus driver nods and then I sat behind the bus driver. Just to make sure that I leave immediately and just went into the school. I just pull out the phone and listen to music on Spotify or something like that.

I don't think that having a purpose or a dream is something that I want from the future. But I guess it was something that can be alright for me. You don't know anything about me. They don't know me. So why do people judge you even if they don't know the whole story of things? People are so rigid when it comes to stories. One side is enough. But I don't think that something like that should be good to deal with. I still have the keys to my house in the backpack. Just in case, if they won't come home that early.

I waited for a few minutes on the way to the school and then I finally arrived and also just in time to see the school service arriving. I think a saw a tall black-haired man and a blonde-haired girl beside him. Wait, are they the student council?

I stared at them for a while until someone tapped at my shoulder. I turn around and saw Jake. It was him all along.

"Rogan," he said, I think he was hiding something "how are you?"

"I'm fine," I said, honestly I'm fine at all. I just move forward through the school building and then Jake followed me "so, how are you and Sally?"

"What," he said and then he blushed. Like beet red. I think I got him at this point "wait, how'd you know?"

"Well, he told me," I said.

"Who?" he asked.

"Johnny," I said and then I think he mutters something like 'why Johnny' or something like that "let me ask you something. Are you and Sally dating?"

Jake slowly nods to me and then suddenly we went into the classroom. Then, just in time, our class teacher came in.

The discussion is not important right now to me. But to others, I guess it was an important thing. I don't know, my attention span is a bit short so I take notes and listen to the teacher for a while and all. I waited for the time until recess starts.

Then, at recess. Instead of going downstairs like a usually do. I just went to the hall near the student council room at the corner. I went there and saw Jake entering through the student council room. After he went through the room and then I entered through the student council And saw a bunch of grade eleven students. Wait, is that Aiden playing video games?

"Oh, who are you?" asked the tall black-haired man standing beside the pink-haired girl who is sitting on the chair.

"Wait, is that Rogan Larsson," said Aiden, typical Aiden, he knows everyone, and he's quite a smart guy. I also think others are quite smart as well according to their capabilities in some way. I know Aiden quite well and he became friends with this black-haired dude and end his friendship with that delinquent Romeo or something "Rogan, I don't know much about you. But there are rumors of you being friends with Jacob. Calling him with a personal nickname 'Jake' to him."

"Yeah, I always call him that," I said, confidently and I don't know these people yet. Who are they again "uhh... who are you guys?"

"The name is Carl," said the tall black-haired man standing beside a pink-haired girl who is sitting on the chair "and I'm the vice-president of the student council."

"Mine's Alice," she said, she's still sitting on the chair with his hands intersect each other with the elbows on the top "The student council president."

"Hello, I'm Lucy," said the blonde-haired girl. I think she must be the secretary for the student council "I'm the secretary of the student council."

"Do I need to introduce myself?" said Aiden and then Alice and Lucy groaned and then Carl looked at him and said.

"Yeah,"

"Okay," he said, and then he cleared on his throat "the name's Aiden. The..." and then he belches right in front of me. I think that is considered rude. Very rude "...treasurer of the student council."

How can he burp at the middle of the sentence? I mean is it some sort of skill that he has to learn from being a previous delinquent and all of that. I learn to be discreet when it comes to being involved with rumors around the school.

I heard that they are arguing about Aiden burping in the middle of the sentence and I was like how does he do that. And I just realize that there's a soda right beside him. So that explains it. After all, it was nice and all of that.

Finally, I saw Jake sitting right in front of Aiden. What advice is he going to ask next or is he going to gloat with them instead.

"What brought you to the student council," asked Alice, I guess I should give her a straight answer to that one "I'm pretty sure that you have a good reason why you're here."

Maybe I should give her a straight answer right away or it'll cause enough trouble to it.

"The reason is that I was looking for Jake," I said and I don't think that is it. What else should I say to them? Hmm "and then he arrived at this place and I wonder why?"

"Well," said Jake, I think he's just here to gloat that they are dating or something like that "I was just here to say that I and Sally are dating and I think that we haven't hold hands yet."

"I think you're too young for that kind of topic," said Carl.

"Carl, just let them be," said Aiden taking a chug of his soda, and then he empties the bottle "holding..." and then he burps again. How does he do that? I wonder "....hands are not lewd. Is just that your mind is lewd."

"Aiden," yelled Lucy, angrily

"What," said Aiden. I think he's adjusting to things and stuff "it's just that... I think you should ask her about that one, Jacob."

"Yeah, I think you should," I said, and then Jake looked at me.

"Really,"

I slowly nods to him and then he stood up and said

"Yeah," he said confidently, "I think I should."

"Well, I just want to ask this," I asked Jake about this one and I was wondering about this thing for a long time before this "since when you two started dating?"

Jake sighs deeply and then he said.

"It was when at that time..."
