Chapter 212: I Saw It In A Dream (2)
"Sleep well? You look terrible."
"Had a weird dream about fish, and pirates, and mermaids, and kept waking up with it on my mind," Ari confessed, rubbing his eyes tiredly as he walked to the practice room with Benjamin, who was surprisingly still in his pajama pants and was wearing his glasses with a bandana tied around his head.
He fully expected the British boy to be properly dressed since he usually went to the gym at 4 am.
"Awww, dreaming about your namesake under the sea? A little too on the nose, innit?"
"Har har har, very funny," Ari replied sarcastically, but Benjamin just winked while throwing his arm around his shoulder.
"I try. It’s part of my charm."
"Get off. You’re heavy."
As the two of them entered the practice room and sat down, they saw Rex standing at the front, Justin lying on the ground groaning, and Levi sitting against a wall with deep eye bags, clearly indicating he would rather be sleeping.
Both Jerome Tyler and William were missing, and Rex looked slightly upset about it.
"Aren’t you in the same room as Jerome? Why didn’t you wake him up and bring him along?" Rex asked as he looked around the sparsely populated room before turning to Ari.
"...why should I do that? He knew what time we were supposed to be here, and my alarm went off in the room. I don’t see you asking Levi why he didn’t bring William." Ari asked, wondering why he was the one being singled out while ignoring the dirty look Levi shot his way.
It’s what he deserved for trying to nominate him as team leader yesterday.
