Chapter 157

• Brook.
• — The work must be handed in next week, I don't want delays — the teacher asks us for the eighteenth time so far — you can go, see you next week and don't forget the work — he reminds us once again.
• I collect my things and leave the classroom ready to take a break before my next class. As I walk down the hall of the university I see the Smiths, Kyle and of course Zero in the distance. My heart accelerates and compresses seeing him smile, I sigh and divert both my gaze and my steps. It's been almost three weeks since he was released from the clinic, he went back to the university a couple of days later and since then it's as if neither of them existed for the other.
