115 A New Feeling

After hearing what Josh had said about Novis being a dark horse on the Montem team, the students started to think back to previous games. But as they looked through their memory banks, not one noticeable memory of Novis being there came up.

"Novis, did he do anything special in the last games?"

"Not that I can remember, I don't think I even saw him in the match highlights."

"Then why is Josh talking about Novis?"

Novis started to lift the jacket he was wearing to cover his face and slowly started to sink into his seat as everyone on the bus started to talk about him. Of course, Novis wanted attention but not like this. This wasn't good or bad attention, it felt like the type of attention you got for being the teacher's pet.

The people on the bus were talking about him for the wrong reasons he felt like.

"Don't worry about them Novis," Scarlett said, "We know more than anyone how special you are to the team."

"Thanks, Scar," Novis said with a smile
