" Besides it's only been twenty minutes, he have been late for hours before, twenty minutes is nothing." She said not looking up from her book.

Danny shook his head and says. " Yeah, but the train leaves in thirty and it's a fifteen minutes walk to the train station."

" And we are already late as we are, I'll just go see what's taking him so long."

He turn on his heel and move towards the entrance. He push open the door before turning around while holding his one hand on the door and his other towards his friends holding up all five fingers.

" Just give me five minutes. I'll get him and then we can go."

They all made a sound of agreement before Danny turned around and disappear down the hall. A moment of silence overcome the remaining three as they look at one another before Jonathan breaks the silence.

" We're still going if Sebastien isn't, right."

" Totally." Said Nathan, throwing his apple in the trash can besides on the other sides of the steps not moving from his spot.

" Of course." Agreed Max still not looking up from her book.

" Father."

" What are you doing here."

Sebastien asked shocked, almost dropping his books, blinking up at the man standing infront of him not expecting him to be here, not that he wasn't happy to see his dad but the only reason why his Father would ever come to visit him is to bring bad news or to lecture him on his school work, his progress in his training; his behaviour at school or his life in general.

William Gray was a very easy person to profile, standing at six foot three with his typical military hair cut; broad shoulders, emotionless expressions that take no bullshit from anyone also was one of the greatest soldiers and now generals in Spartan history just like his father before him and many more before that, expecting his children to be the same just caring about his work, his family's legacy and honor. He would never willingly visit his son, without reason of course or if he happened to be at the academy for work, there's a small possibility he would check in on him to see how he is progressing.

Sebastien tries to wreak his brain trying to think of the possible reasons why his father was here. It can't be his school work, he have given in all his assignments on time; aced ever test and gotten extra credits for almost every subject. It can't be his training either, his fitness and flexible is good; his shooting too and his behaviour is impeccable, he is always polite; he have never been rude to anybody well not to his commanders and teachers. Nothing was wrong, he was behaving perfectly. He had done nothing wrong so why was his father here?

His brows furrowed deep as he wrinkle his nose trying to think hard for his father suprise arrival at his door. If it's not something he had done, then something bad might have happened. Did something happen at home? Did something happen to his mother?

His heart beat loudly in his chest at the thought of something might have happened to his mother. He move past his father to open the door. He scan his bracelet against the handle waiting for it to flash green to make it slide open and hurried inside with his father following in after him.

" Did something happen?"

" Is mother okay?"

He ask panicking; he tighten his grip on the books He is holding and turn towards his father with wide eyes, his heart going a mile a minute. Thinking of the worst possible scenarios, he could think of. He look at his father waiting for him to answer. The older male look at his son with a emotionless expression.
