Chapter 6: It Awakens part 3
Bronny's day had been quite swell, as you might say. He was showered with the occasional girls and fans, as he was accustomed to, being the son of LeBron James was great, but it came with its faults, and all this attention was one of them. He didn't mind it of course, it helped him in certain situations, but he wasn't one to bask in all the attention, he preferred to keep to himself, he wasn't for all the glitz and glamor, he would rather just focus on his studying. Bronny was working on some of his work during lunch, he sat alone, he preferred the quiet when studying. "Hey Bronny," Bronny turned, Jolyne stood beside him, "you don't mind if I sit here?" She asked. Bronny shook his head, "no, go ahead," he said, "thanks," Jolyne replied, sitting next to him.
"How has your day been?" Jolyne asked, "boring," replied Bronny, "but what's new, how about you?" Jolyne looked to the table, the scene with Joshua playing back in her head, "fine, I guess." She said. Jolyne sat quietly for a bit, Bronny took notice to this, he put a hand on her shoulder, "You alright?" "Huh," Jolyne looked at Bronny, "I'm, fine, I just…" She looked back onto the table, Bronny tilted his head and scooted closer to her, "what?" "There was this, kid," she said, "I didn't pay any attention to him, but I noticed something about him, there was a star on his neck, the same star I have." Bronny raised an eyebrow and looked to the table, "ok, and?" Jolyne rolled her eyes, "what do you mean, and?" She said, "this star represents my family heritage, and some random dude has it!" Bronny nodded, he put his stuff away and put his full attention onto Jolyne, "I see, if that star represents your family," Bronny stated, "then wouldn't that make him a relative?" Jolyne shook her head, unsure of what to say, "yeah, but it doesn't make sense, who could be his father, and what connection could he have to me, or Uncle Josuke and Giorno?" Bronny shrugged his shoulders, "I wouldn't know, maybe you should ask your uncle about it, he may be able to find out who he is." Jolyne shrugged and stood up, "it's weird, really weird," she said, "then he was talking about if I had some, thing, and he was really aggressive about it." "Aggressive, about what?" Bronny asked, before Jolyne could answer, the bell rung, "I'll tell you later," Jolyne said, "come on, let's go."
Later in class, Bronny and Jolyne sat in the back, listing to the teachers lesson. The two had forgotten about the conversation from earlier, and were now focused on the lesson. "It's the first day and I'm already ready to die," Jolyne whispered, Bronny smirked and rolled his eyes, "then it's gonna be a long year for you." The class dragged on, Bronny never liked math, and he was starting to drowse off. "Bronny…" Bronny looked to his left, seeing if Jolyne had said anything, but she was sleeping on her desk, "Bronny…" Bronny heard the voice again, he looked around the room, but no one was even looking at him, "your future is dark, if you choose the wrong path…" The voice said, Bronny continued to look around the room, until he froze. Outside of the class window, stood an all-white figure. It's arms were covered in scars, red lines ran down it's chest and face, its red eye starred directly into Bronny. "Jolyne," Bronny said, shaking her back, "wake up," Jolyne grumbled and slowly sat up, "what?" She muttered, Bronny pointed to the outside, "look, there's some-" The figure was gone, "the hell? Where did it…" "Mr. James," Bronny turned, the teacher was glaring at him, "would you mind coming up to the board and solving this problem, or are you and Mrs. Kujo's talks more important?" The entire class turned to the both of them, Jolyne smirked and put her head down, going back to sleep. "Uh, I'm good thanks," Bronny said, "I think you should pay more attention rather than flirting with Jolyne there." The room filled with laughter, including Jolyne, Bronny rolled his eyes and smirked, he looked back to the outside, the white figure was back, it too was laughing at him, it put a finger to its lips and moved behind a tree, vanishing. Bronny starred inventively outside, who, no, what was this thing, and how did it know him?
Later that day
"Now that was funny," Jolyne teased, her and Bronny walked out of school, a sea of students filling around them. "Just another day of being me," Bronny replied. "You know, if you just let me sleep, it wouldn't have happened," Jolyne said, Bronny moved in front of her and grabbed her shoulders, "you don't understand," he said, "I saw this thing, it was some-" "My, my!" Bronny and Jolyne looked behind them, up walked a bright, purple haired girl, her hands covered her mouth, but it was obvious she was smiling. "it looks like St. Anne's dream couple really is a thing," she said. Jolyne pushed off of Bronny and crossed her arms, "believe what you want to Noel, I'm not in love with the guy, we're childhood friends, that's all." Noel chuckled and moved closer to Jolyne, "really, cause every time I see you, you're with Bronny, it does seem you like him, a lot," Noel teased, "shut it Vazquez," Jolyne muttered, getting into Noel's face, "what the hell is it to you anyway?" Noel rolled her eyes and backed off, "nothing, I guess," she said, "everyone has their secrets anyway, maybe you should hide it better." Noel winked and bopped Jolyne's nose, she walked past her and Bronny, "see you later handsome," she whispered, she rubbed Bronny chest as she walked away.
"How the hell is that bitch so popular?" Jolyne asked, "can't say, never talked to her that much," replied Bronny. As the two continued walking out of school, they were being watched by someone, it was Joshua. Joshua watched the two leave, a scowl forming on his face, "so, that's Bronny," he said, "if he's seen it, that means his power has awakened." He moved from his cover and walked slowly, following the two, "I've got a bad feeling about this, they're in trouble, I must see them through this upcoming struggle."
