Chapter 4
The sunlight was blocked by clouds wanting to make it a gloomy day. It made no difference to Ethan; almost everyday is a gloomy day. Ever since that day Josh and Simon have left town Ethan has been treated differently.
People have always been so gentle and "caring" about him. It's all Harry's fault as well. All those stupid lies and fake details gave Ethan this treatment that is anything but beneficial. He's restricted from doing the fun, adventurous things he loves and wants to do. His mother overprotects him and babies him. Vik is the only person Ethan can be himself around.
"Ethan, honey, Vik is here! Are you ready to go?" his mother called. Ethan zipped up his suitcase and carried it downstairs. "Good. Lets hurry, this is really important and we can't miss it." his mother emphasized. Her and Vik's mum decided to send both of their boys to a private school. It's suppose to keep them safer and give them a better education. Ethan couldn't tell wether he liked the idea or not.
As his mother drove them to the airport, Ethan couldn't help but think about Josh and Simon. He was secretly hoping he would run into them but the odds of that are nonexistent. They could be anywhere in this country. The police no longer have finding the two as a number one priority. Maybe they aren't even alive. Ethan's mum had to stay with them until they got on the plane. It was a one way trip.
"I'm going to miss home." Vik sighed.
"I'm not." Ethan snorted.
"I know but at least now you get a second chance." Vik tried to cheer him up.
"Are you excited to go to this school?" Ethan asked. He and Vik buckled their seat belts as the plane got ready to take off.
"Eh. Not really. I don't want to go a private school because they're so..."
"Snooty? Restricting? Hotheaded? Boring?" Ethan listed.
"Yeah, I see what you mean now." Vik agreed.
"I just wanna go to a place where I can do what I want." Ethan stared out the window as they flew up into the sky.
"Then you might as well just join a gang." Vik suggested. "Even then you're still tied down." he realised. Ethan just sat there, silently. "Do you still think Josh and Simon?" Vik wondered.
"Yes." Ethan replied.
"Why? They almost got you killed." Vik still didn't understand his friend's fascination with the two criminals.
"Because they're my friends in a weird way that probably only I'll understand." Ethan shrugged. A little over two hours later and they landed in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
