After the meeting with the principal, Leonard made his way back outside. He wanted to have a better look at the damage Edgar had caused and seeing the debris had his heart aching.
''Why would he do this? What exactly did he hope to achieve from all of this?'' he sighed.
He walked around the debris, examining everything that had fallen to the ground. What remained now was a charred mess of books, test tubes, and remains of the small prototypes they had used.

Leonard jumped a bit. He had forgotten all about that and all that was on his mind now was what laid in front of him.
''Thank you.'' Leonard sighed.
For the rest of the day, Leonard was in a shitty mood and didn't know how he could snap out of it. It was one thing to handle school issues and another thing for his mother to be cross with him but the latter was worse. ''I feel like shit.'' he sighed. ''Hey, is everything alright?'' Leonard looked up to see that it was Susan walking towards him. He knew she meant well but at that moment, he just wasn't in the mood for any talks. All he wanted to do was to go back home and sleep away all of the stress and tiredness he was feeling at that moment. ''I guess so.'' he sighed. There was a confused look on her face, and Leonard knew that she wasn'
It was the weekend and by now, Leonard was completely healed from the accident he had with the petty thief. This weekend, he decided to work more on the school project he had with Susan. As he thought about it, he felt guilty for snapping at her the last time he saw her and he wished he could go back in time to correct or change what he did but now, it was too late and he hated to think that she already had a negative impression about him. ''Son, is everything alright?'' Helene walked in with a curious look on her face. ''Yes Mom, everything is fine. Don't worry.'' he smiled. Even though he knew it was forced, it was all he could do at that moment and he hoped that his mother wouldn't press on it. Than
An hour later, the Uber driver drove into Madame Dianes' house and the first thing Leonard noticed was how massive it was. The first time he was here, he had been in a rush and in anger because he was mad that she was trying to take advantage of their situation and so, he couldn't see how large it was but now, coming into the compound and seeing the massive building very well had him swooning.''We're here.'' Helene smiled, climbing out of the car.Leonard followed as his eyes were still on the beauty of the building. It was one thing to own a building as large as this and another thing to own it in an elite neighborhood such as this,''This is a real flex.'' he chuckled.''Helene… Leonard! Welcome.'' a loud
After the dinner with Madame Diane and her husband, Leonard, and his mother, Helene went back to their house and to say Helene was happy would be an understatement, she was overjoyed. Now, they could have heaters and good sanitary conditions, the two major things they were lacking in their former house.''Err… Mom?'' Leonard said.It was nearing midnight now but he knew he couldn't sleep. He had to take this exam if he ever wanted to rise up from the current level he was in.''Son, is everything alright?'' Helene asked.She had never seen her son behave this way and she knew that something was wrong somewhere. Leonard sat beside her, wracking his head on the best approach to take.
The next day, Leonard woke up bright and early, ready to face the day. The excitement of the previous night was still very much on his face and he found himself smiling as he walked out of the room and towards the kitchen where he found his mother making some breakfast.''Hey mom.'' Leoanard smiled.''Oh wow! Someone is particularly happy today.'' she grinned, flipping the eggs she was frying.The nice smile wafted throughout the kitchen and in some parts of the living room. His mother was a good cook and he knew that this food would turn out very nicely.''Yep.'' Leonard said.''Care to share?'' she asked. ''Susan.'' Leonard began.''Leonard.'' she said.For several minutes, there was silence on the phone as both of them remained quiet. He didn't know how to approach what they have been avoiding but one way or the other, he knew he had to talk.''Susan.'' he began.The only indication he had that she was still with him was her shallow breathing. He knew he needed to apologize as fast as possible because for one, it was overdue and secondly, it was the proper thing to do.''I'm sorry for the way I reacted the last time we saw each other. What I did was wrong and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me,'' he said.<World Domination System 25. Conflicted Feelings
Just as he was about to leave the cafeteria, his phone gave a small beep, indicating he had a call. Glancing at his caller ID, he realized it was Daniel calling him. He froze in the hallway, his thoughts going towards a teacher being angry with him for missing classes.''Hey.'' Leonard said.''Hey… are you almost here?'' he asked.''Yes. Is everything alright?'' Leonard asked.''Yes… anyway since you are almost here, I'll just wait till you get here.''''Alright, see you soon,'' Leonard said.Soon, Leonard got to the set of classes that served as the teaching area. Just at the bend th
''Hey Leo, can I talk to you for a second?'' Daniel asked as soon as he saw Leonard the next day.Ever since he left him at school the previous day, he had a feeling that something was up with Leonard, and seeing him now just buttressed his point that something was definitely wrong.''Sure,'' Leonard said, closing his locker doors.He also had a feeling that they were about to have a serious conversation, one that actually needed his attention.''Look, I know you were quite surprised over what happened yesterday… you know me walking into the elite part of the area…'' Daniel began.''To be honest, I was really surprised. I thought we were frien
