One problem after the other

Jake ended his speech when he heard the shout.

The hell?

Alex too became surprised. Then his eyes shone with a light of realization.

Those bastards. They have come for me.

But he didn't go out. Instead, he laid on his bed and tried to organize some things he thought about in his head.

Alex didn't go out simply because his name wasn't bastard. It was Alex.

Anytime the person outside got his name right, then he would go out.

The person who shouted saw that no one came out of the room he directed his shout out.

He felt embarrassed.

The other boys in the room looked at Alex.

They knew he was the person that summoning shout was directed to.

They wanted to tell him to go out but they threw the thought away and went to do their own thing.

Ever since Alex showed how strong he was, they had been careful of him. They would try their best not to vex him.
