PART 82

Nani bit his lip hard. Telling the truth would undoubtedly enrage Sky.  He shook his head, steeling himself.  He wouldn't let that happen. "Y-Yeah, I changed it," he stammered, his voice barely a whisper. Sky sensed the deception, the subtle shift in Nani's demeanor betraying a carefully constructed lie.  He felt a prickle of suspicion, a feeling that Nani was hiding something significant.  But perhaps he was overreacting, being overly dramatic. He decided to let it go, for now.  "Guys, let's go. Our teacher's already there," he said, his voice a little strained.  They headed towards the playing field. Later, after their PE class, Dew, Win, and Bright returned to the mansion. Sky and Nani, however, went to a nearby restaurant. They ate and talked, the earlier tension seemingly forgotten.  Then, Zkay appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, striding directly toward them.  "Hi, twin bro, and to you, baby boy," he greeted them with a casual wave, his smile unnervingly mischievous. Sky's eyes narrowed, his voice dangerously low.  "What the hell are you doing here?" Zkay's smile widened.  "Chill out, I just thought I'd join you for dinner."
