[Just after hearing he got into an accident Bernard couldn't help but feel slightly warm inside his heart.

Seeing their worried expression, and the way they showed so much care and attention made him understand he had truly chosen the right people to be friends with, and if he had chosen some other group of people to be his friends, he was sure in times of trouble they would have abandoned him just like the way Conny did to Dave when he had attacked them.

Not wanting to waste their time and miss classes as well, Bernard and the girls decided to go change and the girls left to their rooms.]

After they left Bernard couldn't help but think about Ryan and wondered what the dude was doing, Bernard stared at the wall and decided that he would talk to Ryan once he was done resting which would be the perfect time to ask about yesterday's event. Besides he was also worried if he was alright but the dude was too tired, so he didn't bother to go to his room dorm.

After changing Bernard rushed to the bathroom as usual to avoid the long queue, and fortunately, he made it in time. Just as he was going back to his room he could see Ryan and Emelia, she seemed to be waving at him like always but then Ryan reacted as if he couldn't see her making her surprised. As she looked at his expression, he seemed to have changed into a completely different person, Emelia thought he was acting strange even his expression was pale like he hadn't slept all through the night, the emotionless expression he had on his face made him look unfriendly.

As he walked passed Emelia he lowered his head, making it impossible to read the expression he had on his face, and just kept walking. Bernard who had just walked out of the bathroom and saw what had happened had a look of surprise on his expression, he couldn't understand why the dude was acting strangely, even the way he reacted towards Emelia felt like he didn't know her and was only a complete stranger to him.

Just as Ryan was about to walk into the bathroom, Bernard stopped in front of him and couldn't help but ask with a little concern, after all this was the first time he was behaving in such a weird way."Hey, Ryan what's up? Are you feeling okay?"

The moment Ryan saw Bernard his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as he took a little step back, but then he couldn't walk away or avoid him easily since Bernard was right in front of him, what more he was looking at him an inquisitive gaze.

"Huh Bernard, Yeah am okay just feeling a bit tired that's all, "Ryan replied, with his head still lowered throughout what he said, he didn't raise his head and just kept it down, his words seemed confused and a little bit spaced out.

Eventually, everyone soon came out of their room, Sophia and Emelia were already together what's more Bernard thought their relationship seemed to have even become closer than it was before, however as he looked around he realized one person was missing Ryan! after a while of using his eyes to search for Ryan, he realize he couldn't see him anywhere around them.

"Is everything okay Bernard?"Emelia ask after seeing Bernard was looking around as if he was looking for something.

"Yeah, have you seen Ryan anywhere?"Bernard replied as he looked at both girls.

"Yeah we saw him and I called him to join us, as usual, to go to the cafeteria, but he said he was fine and that he was very hungry so he would wait for us over there," Emelia said as she thought over his strange reply.

Bernard simply nodded and didn't say anything else, and the three of them began to head to the cafeteria, and as they were walking, he couldn't help but think about Ryan after piecing the puzzles in his head together he realize something, Ryan was not just acting weird just because he wanted to, something must have happened to him, but he had no clue what it might be or who was behind it, he kept thinking while they walked through the hallway.

As they were walking, and Bernard was lost in his little thought but still paid attention to where they walked, someone spotted him and was immediately startled however since he was lost in thought he didn't see the person nor did he react, the person was none other than Tom. But he realize Bernard didn't seem to have noticed him and just kept walking with the girls, but as he looked at him again Tom took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down since he was about to break out into cold sweat, even his hands were shaking uncontrollably as he gritted his teeth in anger.

When Bernard was just about to pass him, Tom suddenly walked forward and called out to Bernard with a stutter.

"Hey, Bernard, can we have a little talk in private?"Tom asked.

After hearing his name being called out Bernard immediately returned to reality, as he raised his to look at who had called him, the moment he did he realize the person seemed a bit familiar, after thinking for a while he remembered where he had seen him before making realization dawn on him since this person was Vic Timothy Storm friend, who had accused him of being a cheater during a spar in the weapon hall.

Bernard couldn't help but slightly look around him, he didn't know why Tom would be looking for him or even bother to call out his name like this in public since the dude wasn't at the place where he had fought both Greg and Tony, so he couldn't understand the reason he was looking for him.
