Sylvia's POV:
In the morning, I dragged Flora and Harry to the training ground.
Flora never got enough sleep, and Harry was still groggy. Both of them tilted their heads and were about to doze off while standing there.
After Jerome arrived, Flora perked up a bit. Harry, on the other hand, remained listless the entire time. He had huge bags under his eyes. Those who didn't know better would probably assume that he had done something bad last night.
After the morning training, Flora, Harry, and I were on our way to have lunch in the canteen as usual.
Flora walked beside me and scanned Harry thoroughly. "What's wrong with you today? You've been lethargic the entire morning. Jerome was furious when he saw you like this."
Harry narrowed his eyes, dragged his tired feet, and said in a weak voice, "I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why do you have a scratch on your neck?" Flora grabbed his collar and asked, noticing the small slightly bloody cut on his neck.
I also regarded him with confusion. It looked like he had got scratched by some sharp object.
Harry looked uneasy and explained, "I cut myself while shaving this morning. The razor blade was just too sharp."
I felt even more baffled. Harry had been harping about how he had bought the latest shaver in the market just a few days ago. The brand was represented by his favorite football player. There was no way he had already lost interest in it.
So why was he suddenly using the razor again?
As I opened my mouth to question him some more, John approached us from the other side. He told Harry softly, "Didn't we agree to have lunch together?"
Harry quivered and gave an awkward smile. "I'd almost forgotten. I'm sorry."
He turned to look at Flora and me. "I have an appointment. I'm leaving now."
Then he left with John.
"Wow, when did they become so chummy?" Flora watched Harry and John in bewilderment as they walked away.
I shook my head.
