Helanie:
Maximus never said anything to me afterward. Norman had asked me to give him some time. They requested that I go back to the hostel and calm down my friends before they ventured out to look for me again.
I guess Norman told them I was fine and that they didn't have to come to the academy. Of course, the brothers didn't want them to meet the trainers and freak out about how dangerous things outside were. But my friends refused to believe them until they saw me for themselves.
I heard from Norman that my friends had also left the hostel last night to look for me, and it became a big deal because Kaye had to leave Maximus at the academy, then go with Argona to fetch them all and lock them inside.
I went back to the hostel and met my friends. They were all so worried about me—at least, most of them were.
Sydney never stopped taunting me, and I still had an issue to settle with Lucy, but I decided to deal with it another time.
