Chapter 2
Later that night, Jerome and Alfie walk into their room laughing about the prank they just pulled on Patricia. Then they see Seth unpacking his things and an awkward silence slowing starts replacing the laughter. After about three minutes of awkward agony Jerome turns around and leaves without saying a word. Alfie sees this as his chance to ask Seth a few questions.
"So where are you from?" says Alfie, not knowing how to begin his interrogation.
"I transferred from a public school about an hour's drive from here," answers Seth.
"Well do you like it here?"
"I've only been here for about five hours. It's kind of hard to tell."
"Right….so what was all the confusion about earlier?" says Alfie, deciding to just cut to the chase.
Shrugging, Seth says, "It was just a last minute decision for my dad to send me here. That's all."
"But what was in that letter. Victor's been acting really weird since he read it," says Alfie, digging deeper.
Getting very mad, Seth's expression completely changes and he says, "Look I just got here, I don't need to be bothered by whoever you are. Now can I please finish unpacking in peace?"
"Sorry man. I was just curious," Alfie says as he backs out of the room. Once he's out of Seth's sight he runs down the hall and up the stairs to talk to the rest of Sibuna. Relieved to find them all in Nina and Amber's room, he locks the door behind him and takes a seat on the floor. "So I thought I would ask the new guy some questions. You know to find out more about him," says Alfie, realizing everyone was staring at him.
"How did it go? Did you learn anything about him?" asked Nina, interested in what Alfie has to say.
"Yep, I learned something," replies Alfie. "That dude's got some serious anger issues."
"What happened?" asked Fabian.
"Well I started by asking him some general questions about himself and he seemed fine. Then I asked about the letter he gave Victor and he totally flipped out on me."
"Maybe it was something you said," says Amber.
Patricia rolls her eyes and says, "I'm almost positive it was something he said Amber."
"Just trying to help," says Amber, defending herself. "If you don't like my style then maybe I'll go talk to Seth myself.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Amber, he might still be mad," Alfie shouts toward Amber but by the time he was finished she was already gone.
