Chapter 140: Stales Lost His Memory?

"Don’t tell me you slept in Hiro’s room?" Stales asked, his eyes wide with disbelief. They were already

dressed, ready for the combined class of racing and long jump, though none of them were sure it would even hold.

"Nothing happened, Stales," Angela rolled her eyes, regretting the words the moment they left her mouth. Now he would never let it go. She knew he would keep teasing her. It would not have been wrong if something happened between her and Hiro since he was her mate, but nothing did, and Stales would never accept that. "I slept on the bed, he used the couch."

"Really?" Stales laughed so hard that his voice echoed across the room. "Can you believe this, Alex? She wants us to buy that story."

Alex didn’t respond. He seemed far away, lost in thoughts that weighed him down. Angela had noticed since morning that something wasn’t right with him. She asked, but all he ever said was that nothing was wrong. She knew he was lying.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly, placing her hand on his arm. He startled as if she had woken him from a dream. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you."

"Are you alright, buddy?" Stales stepped closer, worry written on his face. "You’ve been like this all morning."

"I’m fine, you don’t have to worry." Alex tried to smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. Still, it was better than nothing. "So tell me, have you chosen your race partner?"

"Yes, I have. You and Angela are on my team," Stales replied. He turned, scanning the group to see who else he might want to add. With Alex by his side, many would fight for a spot, but he wanted to be careful with his last choice.

That was when his eyes landed on Xavier, standing quietly in the corner with his arms wrapped around himself. Stales frowned, wondering what had happened to him or if he had still not recovered from what took place.
