340 Wish I Didnt Blink
“Thiago! Where are you going?” I was briskly following him through the hallways, expecting him to stop.
“I am going to the room. Why?” He finally stopped and shrugged his shoulders at me for acting like that.
“No! I thought you meant something else when you said I shouldn’t look for you,” I walked closer to him, standing face to-face and aiming for eye contact.
“Really? I don’t remember saying anything. I just returned from the principal’s office,” he said, and my body shuddered at acknowledgment. His memory was getting messed up now.
“Oh! Okay.” I didn’t want to bug him for his memory and let him pass through. When we walked back into the room, we found Christina in Maynard’s arms and Lazlo waiting for us awkwardly.
“What is going on over here?” Thiago questioned causally, reaching for his bed and flopping down comfortably. Since we all knew the symptoms, we didn’t act surprised.
However, Christina broke the hug to walk over to me. I saw her eyes scanning me and her lips quivering.

“Guys! That person talking to us wasn’t Thiago. He was under the influence of his Lycan,” I whispered, and their eyes popped out in shock. Christina and Maynard left their beds to walk closer, while Lazlo too joined me on the floor as I sat down.
“I tried talking to him about the ways we could save him, but it seemed like he didn’t like the idea. He doesn’t want anybody to be sacrificed for him,” I said, watching their faces one by one.
