While they were eating, Aiden sighted Anne, the girl he had sex with yesterday. Anne noticed him but didn't do like she noticed him at all...she just focused on her food.

And when they were done eating, Aiden didn't see her anymore, he didn't even know when she walked out of the cafeteria.

'I guess she walked out when I was busy digging in, while I was focused on my food'. That was what Aiden concluded in his mind.

He, Ava, and Oliver walked out of the cafeteria. And not long after walking out of the cafeteria, Oliver uttered,

"So, when next are we gonna go hunting?".

"You like hunting too much". Ava said to Oliver.

"Yes, I love hunting too much, and I'm not denying it". Oliver stated once again.

As we all know, Oliver was the king of the forests, he loves visiting forests to hunt grass cutters. He had loved hunting ever since he was a kid, and now that he was a teenager, he still loved hunting...whether his love for hunting hadn't increased.

He, Aiden, and Ava visited the forest to hunt when they were 7 years old. That was the first time the both of them were visiting the wilderness to hunt with him, that was the first time they knew he was the king of the forests.

After that day, the three of them visited the forests to hunt a few times again. But it always takes months before they'd get to visit a wilderness together. The last time they visited the wilderness to hunt for grass cutters, they were 16 years old.

And after that day, they hadn't visited the forest together again. Throughout their hunting, their parents were never aware of it, Ethan and Emma had no single idea that their son, Aiden, had visited forests to hunt numerous times.

..He even did so when he was a kid, they had no single idea.

But as for Oliver, his parents were fully aware, they knew that their son was a hunter ever since he was a kid...but they weren't aware of it all though.

And 'cause of their hunting, they had gotten to eat meats numerous times. Now, after a successful hunt, Oliver would be the one to take the grass cutters home to prepare their meats.

And after he had eaten his share, he'll bring Aiden and Ava's share to school the next day, and the both of them would keep on munching. Aiden and Ava never tried to take a grass cutter home...not once did they ever try such a thing.

..That would be like exposing themselves with their own hands.

They just kept on doing the hunting secretly though it wasn't constant. And though it wasn't constant, though Oliver doesn't get to visit wildernesses with Aiden and Ava constantly, that didn't stop him from visiting forests to hunt alone.

He had been visiting forests to hunt alone before they even got to know that he was the king of the forests. So whenever he had the chance, he'll visit a forest alone, hunt some grass cutters, prepare their meats, and eat them alone.

..And that's a lot of meat there...he'll get to eat meat like there was no tomorrow.

And throughout the time they've been visiting forests, they had come across a few dangerous things...the number one thing was snakes. They had come across snakes a few times, but none of them got bitten.

Either they find a way to kill them or they avoid them. Some snakes wouldn't bother to chase you if you let it be...stay on your own, and it would stay on its own as well.

..As of now, it's been months since they last visited the forest to hunt together...as usual.

And Oliver wanted them to visit the forest together again, it was always fun...as far as no one gets injured. So strolling out of the cafeteria together, he decided to bring it up.

He had already mentioned it and received a kind of reply from, Ava, 'You like hunting too much'. And he didn't deny it, he loved hunting, and it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

Aiden glanced at Oliver after he made that utterance and said,

"We'd find time to do so, I feel like visiting the forest to hunt as well, it's been months".

"Yeah, that's why we need to find the chance to visit the forest together again, it's been some time since we last did it together". Oliver stated once again.

"But this I'm sure of, you've been visiting forests to hunt on your own, right?". Ava inquired of Oliver.

"Yes, as you all know, I'm the king of the forests, or let's say, I am among the kings of the forests. I can't stay a whole full month without hunting, I must visit a forest once or twice to hunt". Oliver responded.

Aiden and Ava nodded their heads to his statement...he was definitely saying the truth, they knew him.

"We'll visit the forest together again one day after school, the day there'd be a lot of chance to do so". Aiden voiced out.

And Oliver and Ava just nodded their heads at his utterance, they agreed with what he just said now. They were still walking when Ava asked Aiden a question he wasn't expecting...

"So, Aiden, how did the event at your house go yesterday?".

And Aiden glanced at her with a kind of confused expression on his face, he hadn't understood what she was talking about. She noticed the expression on his face and was like,

"Why are you glancing at me like that? Don't you understand my question?".

"I don't understand your question, I don't even know what you're talking about". Aiden said with that confused look still plastered to his face.

"You didn't go home with us yesterday, you said an event was to take place at your house, so you hurried home the moment it got to closing hour. You didn't go home with us, don't you remember?".

..And it was at that moment that Aiden remembered, yes, he recalled telling them something like this yesterday...and it was a lie.

He hurried out of school 'cause he wanted to bang Anne, not because an event was to take place at his home. With Anne's direction, they were able to meet in an inn, and he f**ked her there.

He didn't hurry home or any stuff like that, that was why it was easy for him to forget...because it was a lie.

'Gosh! Look at how I messed up, wouldn't they start thinking that I lied to them yesterday? That no event took place at my home yesterday? That I was heading somewhere else, that's why I hurried out of school?'. Aiden thought to himself.

..But he'll have to fix the little mess he's just created.

He glanced at Ava and stated, "Oh! yeah, I remember now. The event went well, it was successful".

And Oliver and Ava were glancing at Aiden with a kind of look in their eyes, they were a little confused...why did it take him so much time to remember? This was something he told them himself yesterday. Why does it seem like he had to crack his brain before remembering?

"Why did it take you so much time to remember?". Oliver inquired of Aiden as they were still walking.

"It does happen sometimes, hasn't it happened to you guys before? You'll just forget an event that took place recently. When someone asks you about it, you'll have to rack your brain for a while before remembering it". Aiden uttered glancing at Oliver and Ava.

..And what he said made sense, Oliver and Ava even nodded their heads to it.

It can happen to anyone, you'll suddenly forget an event that took place recently...they believed him. But in his case, he forgot 'cause it was a lie, he just forged up something random and told them...that was why it was easy for him to forget.

They didn't say anything else to each other as they kept walking on the compound heading toward their classroom. And at that moment, Aiden sighted Anne.

Now, she was standing on the compound as well, but she was very far from them...she made sure Oliver and Ava didn't notice her. And she was signaling Aiden to come meet her.

Aiden was giving her the look of, 'No, I can't do that, can't you see that I'm with my friends?'.

And she kept giving Aiden the look of, 'Please, come meet me'.

..And Aiden knew he'll have to do something about it, he'll have to find a way to go meet her.

He glanced at Oliver and Ava...it was about time to tell them another lie.
