Chapter Six

The following Friday, Jax lay in bed. It was early, so early that very little light trickled in from the windows in their dorm. Judging by the snorting and snoring going on around him, Jax felt pretty certain he was the only one who was awake.

He rolled over onto his side, wincing in pain. Alvus had honored Jax’s request not to hold back, so Jax was sore pretty much everywhere. Even his hair and teeth hurt. Something he had not thought possible until a few days ago. Jax couldn’t bitch either, because he’d literally asked for it.

Plus, he could tell Alvus felt bad. Even thought they’d only really become friends recently, Alvus was pretty much an open book. Jax saw the way the Jaguar winced whenever he left a fresh bruise. He even frowned whenever Jax groaned in pain when he was thrown, yet again, onto the ground, which he’d been right about—the mats hadn’t helped at all. Alvus had even gone so far as to bring Jax ice packs every day.

That wasn’t what was keeping Jax up, though. Not even close. It was the fact it was Friday. Since it was their first week there, the Academy was letting students go home after classes let out that day.

Jax knew he wouldn’t be welcome back at his house. He hadn’t received a call from his parents, not even a screw-off, angry one. All he’d gotten was total silence. They hadn’t even bothered with a damn email, but it had told Jax all he needed to know. His father was still pissed as hell, and, as normal, his mother was taking his side. So, it was business as usual as far as they were concerned. The only difference was, instead of sending him to his room, they’d cut him off. Okay, maybe if was a bit more drastic than usual, but the intent behind it was the same.

In the end it meant Jax was going to be the only one in his class who would be stuck at the Academy. Ava had said he could go to her home, but Jax couldn’t take her up on it. He knew he’d be too self-conscious around her fathers. He’d met them before. He’d even gone to her home, but that had only been for a few hours. He knew if he stayed the entire weekend, he’d probably end up with an ulcer or something. At the very least, he’d somehow make an ass out of himself.

It would just be better if he stayed at the Academy. He could bury himself in his books, hang out in the cafeteria, and just be a bum. He might even venture to the student lounge and watch TV. They had been so busy their first week, none of them even had a chance to check it out, yet. All they’d done is eat, study, eat, train, eat, and then sleep. They’d barely managed to shower and get their clothes together for the laundry.

He decided he would get up then get ready for classes.
