Chapter 17 - Dozing off into the game.

"Shawn, are you preparing to ace the term exams this time?" said Henry.

"Yeah Shawn you should, you just need to focus. We believe in you. You can beat Henry Howard for all we know you've got the talent and the brains" Charles said.

"You guys, thanks a lot," Shawn smiled.

"Don't thank us," Stephanie said before walking up to Shawn.

"Just promise us that you'll work hard. You've been too distracted and I can see why your mum took your phone. She knows that if she doesn't you wouldn't even touch your notes"

"I hope you are using the time that she is giving you to work hard and make everyone proud," Stephanie added.

"Well for someone who has clinched the post of Saludictorian in class for twice in a row to say that, then there is nothing stopping you Shawn from going for it, '' Charles added.

"Well it seems like she is right" Shawn shrugged his shoulders.

"Then I suggest that you do what you need to do and we will do what we need to do," Charles said.

"You mean studying?" said Henry

"Maybe but then again I'm too lazy so I'll try to allocate my time" Charles responded.

Shawn looked at the two with squinted eyes "You guys are just lazy brats"

"Yep we are" They said before shrugging their shoulders. Steph then came to punch the both of them in the knee after hearing their words.

The rain was still raining heavily. "I was thinking which one among the seniors would be the Head Boy and who would be the Head Girl and their assistants" Shawn changed the flow of the conversation.

"I think the Senior Carl will be the Head Boy and I think that senior Rachel will be the Head Girl as for the rest those are not my concerns but I'll be rooting for senior Desmond to be the Assistant" Charles voiced his opinion.

"I can agree with Senior Carl since he does a lot of things that are related to life matters to the school and is very responsible as well as smart," said Harry.

"You mean smart in book terms" Stephanie said.

"Both in book terms and street wise. As for Senior Desmond the school's student groups have a common ancestry from his three school fathers.

So if they declare their support for him the teachers might agree or if they don't they allow the students to declare their support by conducting an election even though it doesn't guarantee who will be the head prefect. It can also serve as a pointer" Harry clarified before adding his words.

Charles then threw a suggestion, "Shawn maybe you should start to begin a mission of controlling the student groups. There are a lot of things and recognition that you can gain from doing that"

"I don't think Shawn has to join the student groups to gain recognition for gaining a stable footing in the school.

Those groups were initially formed by the school and handled by the teachers but you know we don't like adults interference so the three of senior Desmond's school fathers took responsibility of some groups to the extent that the teachers had to sit back and not interfere with the way they were being run because after the school father's did their work, they ran them better than when the teachers had control"

"True. After all, the amount of students interested in those activities increased when they came in" Shawn agreed.

"Maybe it might be a good idea but it all depends on your decision Shawn" Stephanie said.

Shawn was about to respond before he noticed the sky, "I think that it is time that we go home. The sky is getting clearer"

"Ok" they all chorused, literally forgetting about their discussion as they went to their seats and carried their bags before joining Shawn and leaving the classroom.

Other students were still around the classroom but they were all involved in their discussions. Shawn went to get his sister and Lucas who had been drenched in the rain.

"Why are you so rough?" Shawn's facial expression changed when he saw his brother.

"Because I'm still the one who is going to clean them. Mum may be kind hearted when she comes to dinner but she'll roast me if I dare to leave my clothes around the house and not clean them" Lucas said.

"True of everyone in the family you are the one who is rough the most," Shawn said.

"But also the most mature among you all" Lucas said.

"Ish," said Stacy.

"Really little sis" Lucas looked at Stacy in shock, feigning a heart attack which was received with rolling eyes.

Shawn who saw this laughed loudly.

"Let's go" held Stacy's hand and awaited Lucas, still drenched, to get his school bags and move with them.

The weather as they walked was still cloudy though it had gotten clearer. The streets were all showing signs that the rain was heavy. When Charles and Harry had walked away to their own homes.

"Bye Guys, see you tomorrow" Shawn said.

"Bye!!!" They said,

Shawn and his siblings walked to the road and boarded a taxi to get in.

"Did you follow my advice?" Stephanie said as they walked into the taxi.

"Yeah" Shawn said as he sat in the front seat.

The taxi driver drove the cars to a street after 15 minutes and dropped them off.

Shawn paid for the ride and brought his siblings out of the taxi and walked on.

He took a turn to the left and walked straight ahead. When they had reached the turns Shawn took a turn to the right and Stephanie took a turn to the left but before that.

"Now all we have to do is to wait for Richard to take action. If he does anything then we'll know what to do" She said.

"You are in reality a boring guy so let's wait and see," She added.

Shawn nodded his head "Thank you. For the compliment" he then proceeded to walk to his home.

He was not going to be bothered about one dude petty enough to take revenge over being refused to be given notes of his assignments. But with what he had seen the guy shouldn't be that petty right, maybe.

"You know what, I'll deal with it in school tomorrow" he thought to himself.

Soon they reached the house and he opened the gates which were black in colour before walking into the house. During these days his mom would always come back around 5:45 pm.

So he just went inside, closed the door and his siblings went to play. Stacy said that she wanted to watch TV, but Lucas suggested that they watch Netflix instead.

"Nooo. I want to watch TV today, I'll watch Netflix with you later brother Lucas but my TV show is coming this time so let me just watch it" Stacy pleaded.

Shawn walked into the sitting room and turned on the TV. He looked at Lucas who had returned from his room which was also upstairs. Lucas was holding his phone.

Shawn stretched his hand and grabbed the Phone. "Hey!!!" Lucas yelled.

"Nope, you are not getting your phone till you have done what you need to do" Shawn responded with a face of elevation.

"And what are those?" Lucas asked.

"Do your homework and clean your room" Shawn changed the subject.

"You don't get to tell me what to do" Lucas refuted.

"Alright then, I'll just tell mum that her younger son is so lazy that he can't even walk to his room"

"You're threatening me?!" Lucas glared at his older brother.

"Of course I'm doing it with a touch of discipline and determination. No assignments completed, no room cleaned then no phone and mum knows se finni" Shawn replied.

"Fine," Lucas grunted.

"Good brother. Now run along" Shawn said.

School closed at 2:45 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays was 1:45 pm. The rain fell for 35 minutes and they took a 25 minutes travel so Lucas had 1 hour and 55 minutes to work.

Shawn went upstairs and began doing his homework. He hid Lucas' phone in his wardrobe under his blue jeans which was deep inside his wardrobe after he had shut down the phone.

He jumped on his bed with green bed sheets and a blue pillow and started to think about what he had heard today. He pondered about the next prefects that would be chosen after the current set had graduated from the school.

He wondered if he would be picked. He took a spare note that was on his shelf and began scribbling down something.

Those were the plans for his world Ornio but while writing them he suddenly dozed off.

*Logging creators into the world...*

"Why am I here?!" he shouted.

*You have slept in the real world and have been logged into the game world*

"But when did this happen?"

*Since the time that you have logged into the world from day 1*

"But you didn't say anything about having a nap. I thought that it was sleep that required me to log into the world"

*The moment the brain has been made to rest the game world opens*

"Why do I feel like this is going to become a problem?" he murmured.
