Chapter 77-01

"Something’s wrong, isn’t it?" Layton asked me on the drive home.

"Why do you ask?"

"I can feel it. The bond, remember?"

"Oh," I replied, not knowing what else to say.

My nerves were killing me, and there was a knot in my stomach.

As soon as he turned off the car, he opened his door and walked out with inhuman speed to my side. I was about to grab the door handle when Layton was next to my door, opening it for me.

I looked at him, raising an eyebrow. He simply shrugged, acting like his behavior was normal. I really had to admit Layton and Zev were acting odd. It was like they had switched attitudes. While Layton was being friendlier, Zev was getting jealous of other guys. It was really silly.

My parents were still at work, so I made my way upstairs to dump my book bag. Layton followed me, probably assuming our talk would start as soon as we arrived.
