White Online

’ ’Aren ’t you all supposed to be in school? ’ ’ Isaac asked with a wry smile. If his mother knew that they were skipping school again, she would be mad in a fury.

’ ’Oh, you didn ’t hear? ’ ’ Lionel was somewhat surprised that Isaac wasn ’t aware of such well-known news. He had a hunch that Isaac ’s attention might be only about White Online and a certain black-haired girl.

’ ’About what? ’ ’ Isaac asked while watching Derek playing a racing game. His opponents were nearby teenagers, who were pale-faced after seeing the delinquents appearing.

They debated whether they should intentionally lose.

Lionel grinned and replied, ’ ’School is on pause, for now. The teachers and principal have to figure out what to do with White Online and its influence. ’ ’

’ ’Ohh. ’ ’ Isaac nodded with understanding.

’ ’Whoo! ’ ’ Derek cheered after winning. Every player ahead of him in the last lap crashed for some reason.

The nearby teenagers scurried away after the game had finished, leaving a trail of imaginary smoke behind.

’ ’Let ’s go. This is boring. ’ ’ Niko said while lighting a cigarette. His friends nodded, and they left the arcade.

They used to like playing in arcades, but after White Online, everything seemed dull and boring.

Isaac followed after the gang of delinquents. It looked like he was forced to follow the delinquents to onlookers, and many elderly folks wanted to rescue him from their clutches.

But, before they could do anything, Isaac and the gang of delinquents had descended to the first floor and were soon gone from the mall.

’ ’Whew… ’ ’ Niko let out a puff of smoke and twirled the cigarette between his fingers while asking, ’ ’Should we go there? ’ ’

Derek, typing on his phone, suddenly grinned and nodded, ’ ’Yeah, let ’s do it. ’ ’

The rest of the delinquents also grinned and accelerated their paces. Isaac curiously jogged after them and soon found out where they were going.

They reached the Heart of Snowstar, and Isaac saw the school where he had both bad and good memories for the first time in a while.

’ ’Give me a boost. ’ ’ There was a gate blocking their path, and they had to give a boost to each other to be able to climb over it.
