Rian would also be celebrating with family after this. This would be a double celebration, because Rasso had officially graduated from his probationary status that week.
Like Sheldon, Rian had the rest of the day off after the fight, though he chose to stay and watch the others this time. He wanted to see the progress of his classmates. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
There were many different people in Alterra, and there were many different tweens. One such kid was Percy, Jake’s young cousin.
Like Sheldon, he was not much of a fighter. In fact, he was quite a bit spoiled when he first got here. He even took for granted that Jake would be giving him whatever he wanted.
For example, Jake rented a studio unit for him, and gave him some food allowance (which to him was lacking), and Jake even paid for his tuition fee.
However, Percy did not want to go to school. Typical of young boys, he just wanted to play around, sleep, and eat.
They were in a different continent, why would there still be a school!?
But how could Jake actually raise a useless parasite!?
So, sad for him, Jake made his school performance a condition if he wanted to stay in the house or get an allowance, causing a lot of grumbling.
Percy had always gotten what he wanted from his parents. They were well-off and they gave him everything materialistic because they were busy with their own lovers.
When the disaster happened, they were not even there, but he knew the passwords to their safe, so he was really well-off. After the disaster, he bought everything he needed and just relaxed in that home even if it sucked.
The outside world was too scary, after all, and in retrospect, it was how he kept safe the whole time.
But then the territory he was in fell, and that was all gone.
Then, he found Jake a few days after that, so he didn’t suffer for long at all! Nothing had gone majorly wrong for him so far, so he didn’t believe it’d happen.
Anyway, he didn’t believe Jake could bear let him go hungry so he persisted in doing whatever he wanted, believing his cousin would succumb and give way to him.
But then the next day he found himself kicked out of the unit, sleeping on the corridor!!
It was unimaginable and his brain couldn’t wrap his head around it. At the time, there were many confused thoughts in his head.
Was Jake playing hard to get? That guy would really let him go hungry? Take away the roof over his head?! This was too much of a punishment!!
Then, when his cousin’s woman, Yiyi, tried to calm him down, he ended up snapping at her.
"Shut it!" he yelled at her. He disliked her for a long time. "You’re just an unclean woman without family, clinging to my cousin!"
