Joshua: Hey?! Yo? Are you good... He says this while holding onto Jessie's arms making sure that they were ok and not losing their shit.
Jessie soon looks to see that it was the same Wolf boy who was eyeing him earlier when he first came through the school.
He begins to calm down a little while trying to get his mind straight about what he just witnessed and experienced.
Jessie: Ye- Yea! yea... I'm fine as I guess I was tripping out and dozing off as i was seeing these things going on in my head. As he says this to the wolf boy before thinking that he might be thinking I'm crazy.
Joshua soon looks confused yet unaware about what Jessie was talking about, but he was worried about their safety nonetheless.
Joshua: Okkk then.. Well regardless you seem like you were going through it just here in the middle of the hallway. He said before starting to help Jessie up from the ground.
Jessie soon looks at this guy and thinks that he must think I'm weird now for even acting like this, while he did appreciate his concern as he felt more embarrassed about what is happening at this very moment.
Jessie: Well thanks for the help. I'm Jessie by the way as I'm new around this school honestly..
Joshua: Joshua Redfield... I'm surprised to see someone like you still here around the school at this hour. it's getting late man!
Jessie just looked at Joshua after this while still contemplating what he just saw as he felt a bit weird to tell someone like Joshua something he couldn't even see or think was even real.
Jessie: Heh.. yea I guess I lost track of time... B- But what are you doing around here still anyways if you mind me asking?
Joshua: I was about to head out with a few of my other friends until I started to hear someone screaming and wondered what was going on? So I tracked down where I heard the yelling and found you.
Jessie felt embarrassed that he was screaming and yelling that loud to catch someone's attention like that.
Joshua: You look like you've seen some shit too... Are you doing alright there? He asked with a confused yet confused expression on his face.
"Jessie's mind:
I don't know if I could even tell
What's going on with me?
What were those voices about
"To find her" what does that mean,
He'll just think I'm another weird guy like
anyone else would be."
Jessie: Yeah.. I'm fine really, just... I thought I saw something which kinda scared me really.
Joshua can see the distress and worry in Jessie's face almost like he's lying, but decide to not talk further into that subject as they already look shaken up about something.
Joshua: Well then let's get out of this office, as we can't be staying around for too long I'm at school hours. I got some friends outside waiting for me, I think you would like them as they're... Pretty goofy but tolerable. He says while starting to walk out of the hallway.
Jessie watches Joshua walk down the hallway as he thinks about the person he just met, so nonchalant yet chill as he felt his fears went away, the chills on his back slowly fading as his sanity was natural now. They soon left the school as they were talking about how their days went, while Jessie soon popped out a group of people was standing and chatting around, until one of them who was a tanuki, their ears stood up when she saw Joshua with another person coming out with him.
Amanda: Yo Joshua! Who's that right next to you there? She says this while staring at Jessie with a concern yet unsettling glare with her hands on her hips.
Jessie then felt cautious yet nervous upon actually meeting new people here from this school as he wasn't the best at socializing.
Joshua: My bad guys I just end up running into this guy right here. His name's Jessie and he's new from here from another school. As Joshua says this while looking over at Jessie with a warm smile.
The group soon looked at each other upon what Joshua just said until someone out of the group soon showed up towards Jessie with a happy yet Generous smile.
Luci: Hey there! It's cool to see another unfamiliar face like yours. I'm Luci as it's nice to ya! She says while looking at Jessie with a humble, sweet tone.
Jessie just looks at Luci with a calm yet unnerving smile from her nice yet humble attitude towards someone she just met.
Joshua: Don't mind her, she sometimes gets like this with almost everybody she meets. Very loving person for their own good.
Jessie: It's ok as I don't mind really. Soon Joshua started to introduce everyone towards Jessie as he explains that he can chill and hang around with us anytime if Jessie wants.
Tiffany: Yo Joshua when are we seeing about that party we're heading to on the 28 next month? She says while scrolling through her phone and watching videos on instagram.
Joshua: Oh yea I almost forgot about that I'm not gonna lie. But- If you guys are up for it I guess we can see you heading through and partying out for a bit, what do you think Jessie? You wanna join? He says while looking over at him.
Jessie was caught off guard by asking this question, as he had never been invited to go anywhere with anyone before as this was a little bit off the top for him since he was never a social kinda person and did things besides his normal routine back at home.
Jessie: Oh wow... Umm- yea it seems like it could be fun, I got nothing better to do on friday, I guess I will try to be free by then.
Joshua then smiled to hear this answer from Jessie as he was glad to have another person in their group to join along in their activity.
Joshua: Alright then good. I'll make sure to send you the location before then.
Jessie then gave a thumbs up at Joshua as he understood everything he said as he felt kinda excited to do something like this, while I felt like this new life here in Seattle isn't going to be bad at all for him.
Sooner or later, they all decide to call it a day from here and go their separate ways on heading home, which Jessie begins to set up and make his way back to his home.
While Jessie was checking through his phone, he then heard something, almost like someone was calling out his name.
Joshua: Hey Jessie wait up for a second!
He soon turned around to see that Joshua was running towards them which kinds surprised Jessie as he also wondered what he wanted.
Joshua soon made it to Jessie as he was holding his knees, breathing heavily after running a long way to reach him.
Joshua: Man you walk fast, even if you were blind dude. As he says this while looking at Jessie.
Jessie starts to laugh a bit after noticing Joshua's efforts to catch up to me.
Jessie: Sorry I didn't hear you as I was dozing off to really hear you.
Joshua: I was going to ask if you maybe wanted some company while you walk home, as it is getting a bit late man.
As soon Jessie heard Joshua say this, he started to think upon if he should really let him just tag along like this as he prefers to mostly be alone, but slowly seeing that he's kinda a stand up and chill tuff guy as he's been pretty easy on me for the start of things as he would feel bad to just decline something like this.
Jessie: Yea sure I don't mind honestly.
They both start to chat to each other, talking small stuff about their lives and what they are doing for themselves.
Joshua: It's kinda hard as my brothers sometimes like to tease with me. Like come on I'm not 12 anymore bro as I'm trying to just do me and Mellow and Nathan brushes it off. It pisses me off sometimes.
Jessie just listened to Joshua's problems with his brother which makes him wonder if he wishes to have some siblings of his own. Jessie: You may see that. But some would be lucky to at least have someone truly close to care about you at all. Or you may think that no one is ever with you to see how your time, your life can go without caring for the lack of others. I couldn't relate there sadly. Tuff love is a way of life that we all have to experience during our days as it can be stressful, and intolerable but at least you could say that you have people in your life that wants to help you and support for you in life when everything is in its last toll, it can be like sometimes really.
Joshua looked over at Jessie as he spoke this to me, which made me feel kinda bad to even mention his brothers towards him, as he maybe assumes that something happened to them or that he doesn't have brothers or sisters to even be with from the way they were talking. As Jessie finished talking look over to see Joshua's concern expression played in his face as it was a little shock, knowing that he was basically just rambling and yapping too much.
Jessie: S- Sorry! Sometimes I just ramble and yap at times when I don't remember when I'm near someone. I'm sorry to hear that about you and your brothers. He says while scratching the back of his head kinda anxiously as he thinks he made things awkward between Joshua and him.
Joshua: No! no it's fine. I just got back home and school... It's just. Taking their toll on me not gonna lie.
Jessie: I'm pretty sure you do care about your well-being as they do have their own thing going for them as that's just siblings being at times for each other.
Joshua sees through the words that Jessie said as he has to remember that it's not only all about him while he needs to address some issues that's going on with him.
Joshua: I guess you're right as the last few weeks have just been frustrating to deal with at times. But I'm honestly working on myself to make things better for me and my family honestly.
Jessie then softly smiled at Joshua's response, trying to work on being stronger for himself and even to surpass his brother to be something great for himself, as having this talk with him made them feel like they could do so much better than how others see him. After a long walk and simple chat about what video games they like and what marvel movies are pretty garbage, the two then finally make it towards Jessie's apartment building after the long walk, as Jessie soon looks over at Joshua again.
Jessie: Alright! This is my spot. I do appreciate it on taking your time towards walking on home with me, as it's kinda fun talking with you really. He said with a warm smile on face as Jessie was feeling pretty content to make a comfortable friend upon his first day among school who seems like a chill and nice person towards them.
Joshua: It's no problem really, as this gave me an excuse to be out honestly before I head back home. As said before laughing a little.
Joshua soon walked away after dropping him off to their home safely thinking to himself that Jessie is quite interesting for another nerd who was like him. As he left Jessie alone and headed back home himself after the day they both had, meanwhile his mind still went into the strange visions he remembered seeing back at the school, wondering still what those voices were saying to him and why was this happening all of a sudden.
