Capítulo 46: Chapter 46
Walking toward the front gate of the school, Jack's mind felt both relieved and rejuvenated at the same time.
He felt free, he had managed to let his revenge go and finally move on after weeks of it brewing in his gut.
That didn't mean his hatred was gone but with the revenge mentality gone, Jack didn't have to be stuck in the same place, thinking every single day of ways that he could make others suffer.
*Sigh*
Opening the front door, Jack started walking down the halls of the school, headed to the classroom of his first class.
As he walked, Jack finally noticed another change.
'I'm alone now, truly alone' Jack thought as he saw everybody move out of his way as if he was the plague, he had already figured out that it was part of being a vampire.
Humans instinctively feared them. Or at least anyone who wasn't Bella Swan did, as the girl seemed to have a penchant for trouble.
'Not like any of them matter, what I should be focusing on is growing stronger and finally losing these vampire side effects' Jack thought as he arrived at his class and sat down on the chair right next to the window.
Opening his status screen, Jack went to the missions tab right away.
[ Weekly Missions ]
[ Completed ]
[ Completed ]
[ Completed ]
[ Time for reset: Next Monday ]
'Damn, it really is one week, it figures but I just hoped on the small chance that they would reset quicker' Jack thought before opening the next tab he wanted to look at.
[ Zombie Dungeon ] [ Level 1 ]
And just like what he had hoped for, there was something new in the dungeons tab.
[ Reward: 1 Shop Coin ]
'Great, a guaranteed way for me to get shop coins, though only one for each clear is quite the annoyance' Jack thought to himself but it didn't drop his mood even with the low rewards.
'That just means that I have to do it 50 times and I can also level up at the same time so it's a win-win.' Jack thought as he closed down the menu when the teacher came into the classroom.
Jack had also thought about leaving the school and had found out a pretty easy way to do so.
'I'll just have to take the early graduation exam, it should take about one week to set up but by the end of next week, I should be out of this place' Jack thought as he listened to the boring English grammar lesson.
The hours passed and soon enough the final bell of the day rang, signaling students that it was time for them to head back home.
Jack got up from his seat and started walking outside his classroom when he saw someone he really wasn't expecting.
It was Emmet Cullen. His best friend for the last weeks.
Jack didn't ignore, him and went to stand straight in front of him, giving him a small greeting.
"Hey Emmet"
"Hey Jack, I just wanted to talk for a bit, is that fine?" Emmet said as he scratched the back of his neck.
Jack nodded and answered.
"As long as we talk right here, then it's fine."
"Yeah, I just wanted to say that I still want to be your friend, that doesn't mean I'm not mad as fuck about what you did yesterday but what we did was much worse than what you... you understand what I'm trying to say so the question is, do you still wanna be friends?" Emmet said as he finally turned his eyes to stare at Jack.
Jack stood there silent for a moment before nodding his head.
"All right Emmet, we can still be friends, you've got my phone number, right? Just message me anytime you wanna hang out or talk. Though you have to understand that I'll be quite wary." Jack said straightforwardly as he looked at the large bear-like man.
With a booming laughter, joy seemed to come back to Emmet's face as he patted Jack's shoulder harshly and then nodded his head.
"Of course, you can be as careful as you want. Well, see you later then?" Emmet said and Jack nodded before bringing his hand to Emmet's shoulder and patting it twice as harshly as Emmet had, almost causing the man to drop to his knees.
"How many times did I tell you."
"I'm sorry!" Emmet said though the grin on his face wasn't doing him much good.
*Sigh*
Jack sighed before turning around and heading towards the exit of the school.
'As soon as I get back home, it's time to grind the hell out of those dungeons, I want to evolve before the end of the week or right at the start of the next week' Jack thought as he walked through the halls.
Emmet had already escaped his thoughts, at this point in time, the most important thing for Jack was growing stronger and evolving.
It was his only hope of getting a semblance of his human life back.
His only hope at being able to face the sun, at being able to go to a sunny beach, his only hope at ever being able to love someone who wouldn't notice his freakiness right away.
His will firmed itself even more at these thoughts as he walked out of the front gate and into the parking lot of the school, walking towards the direction of his apartment at a fast pace.
The walk just like in the morning, only took about half an hour for Jack to open the door of his studio apartment and for him to get in.
After quickly changing into a different pair of clothes, Jack locked the door and laid on his bed.
'Time to go grind that shit' Jack thought as a large grin appeared on his face.
He had already become addicted to growing stronger.

Here's the first chapter of the second volume.
If im being honest its the chapter im most iffy about, however im too far ahead to go and rewrite them, thankfully the story move on pretty quickly.
I decided to leave Emmet and Jack on friendship-ish? Terms, Jack is going to be wary of him, extremely so. The next few chapters will be slowish for like 3 more chapters, so I guess I would honestly suggest waiting a few days to binge-read them all. Of course, if you enjoy slow chapters then you can read them xd.
Just a reminder, the Cullens will be out of view very soon so I guess I just wanted to add a few scenes with this friendship before it's gone for quite a while.
