Professor Theodore said in his thick voice, "That's all for today."
As everyone began leaving the class, Alex stood up to leave. Hati, his ever-loyal companion, jumped down from the desk and followed him toward the door.
When Alex reached the hall, he saw two girls standing restlessly, anxiety clear on their faces as they stared at the classroom door.
As soon as they saw him, they rushed forward and stopped in front of him.
"Hey Alex! Hi Hati!" Rina greeted excitedly, waving her hand. She then looked at the black wolf pup beside him.
"Woof," Hati barked, nodding in greeting.
Alex stopped and looked at them with narrowed eyes. His voice turned sarcastic as he extended his hands slightly.
"I'm not of any use to you here."
Both girls took a step back.
Rina, flustered, stammered, "W-We're n-not here for anything…" She looked toward Selene with hesitant eyes. "R-R-Right, Selene?"
