722: Janet's Effort

Janet's Effort

Rudy and Janet were walking to school, alone. Usually, Janet would have been happy to spend some alone time with Rudy, but she wasn't.0

Rudy seemed to be in a bad mood, and he hadn't spoken a word since they began their walk to school.

Janet felt anxious.

"Where is Alice?" Janet asked hesitantly, seemingly afraid to start a conversation.

"She is sleeping."

"I see…"

"..."

"..."

Once again, the atmosphere had turned quiet. Janet didn't know what to say or how to start a conversation.

"I… I am surprised you came to pick me up when Alice isn't coming…"

"I had something to do at school. And I didn't want to stay at home," he replied without moving his gaze.

"Is… that so…"

"What about you? Why are you going to school if you are not going to participate in any sports activities?"

"Because I don't want to stay at home."

"..." Rudy glanced at her without saying anything.
