Chapter 12: Funday.
1090 Words
I wanted to read the book so bad that I also made myself look stupid.
He looked at me suspiciously.
Then he surprised me saying. " Do you want the book so bad?"
I was taken aback by his honest words.
" Don't ask me how I knew, you keep staring at it and I've been looking at you. You didn't even realize". I blinked repeatedly. I most have looked really stupid.
" I can't give you the book though, for personal reasons. I hope you don't feel offended. And I also don't want to fight anyone. I don't underestimate anyone especially girls. They have potential to destroy you if you messed with them.
I also wouldn't feel comfortable fighting you. I have a sister myself, she's prolly in the same situation as we are and I can't imagine her being asked to fight. I hope you aren't offended" He finally finished.
" OH nevermind. I'm not. I was just curious. Yeah. you said you had a sister right?"
She's probably the reason he came here
I need him to know I knew some things about him.
He was being cautious
"Yh, I said I do"
"She has rosy skin and red irises?"
" You know her? How? She doesn't have any friends around here..." Then he paused. "...that I know of" He completed.
"Did she send you here to distract me, how could she not trust me. And to use her own friend as bait, how cruel"
Ugh, he's so clueless.
" Don't worry Emily, I didn't come here because of my sister. I have something else that I'm doing".
_Should I spill the beans?_
" sorry, Ryo. I don't know your sister...
I was... Just guessing". I had completed my lie.
" For someone you haven't met before, that's a really clear description"
" I mean she's not the only person in the world with rosy skin and black hair, but ok"
" Yeah, you're actually right"
"Can I have your number?" I suddenly blurted out. I became red, but decided to gain control. "We've met twice in two days, it can't be coincidence"
"No issues. Could you give me your phone?"
I gave him and he put his number in it.
"I like books, so I'll come here more often now that I have a friend here" He said, surprising me yet again.
I should have rejected and told him straight up I knew what he was upto, but there were other things on my mind.
" I'll be coming here often too, especially on weekends. That's when I don't have school and training" I said.
" What's the name of your school?" he asked.
This is where the problem is
"it's a training school" I said without thinking.
Then his eyes widened. The first time I'd seen him surprised.
" So you're like part of the gifted people?"
He said in a whisper
" yh, it's no big deal"
" I guess. I'd better leave" He stood up
I stood up too. " why don't we go for a walk before you go back?"
" That's not a bad idea". He thought for a moment. " what direction?"
_don't tell him where you're going mouth_.
_I feel it's a trap_
_He knows you're gifted he might want kidnap you_
" Bronx street"
He gave a small laugh.
My stomach skipped
_why_
" Oh, that's were I live" He said
. . . . . . . . .Wood POV. . . . . . . . . .
I and Losa had fun the majority of the day and we got to know each other.
They come from old money.
I knew the name sounded familiar
'Alvarõs'
One of the world powers.
We went to a Café and after that to see a movie.
She acted all composed compared to other girls who had a crush on me. She didn't even blush.
I stopped a cab and we left from the cinema back to Bronx.
"Thanks for today" I said. "You only acted cold after the first day so I thought you were a snub, but I'm happy we can get along".
"It's no big deal. It's how we are. The Alvarõs. We don't really mix up and we keep to ourselves, but most of us are real softies when gotten close to".
There was a brief silence
"Thank you also. I thought you were a jerk who wanted to get into every girls pants in the class. You've proven otherwise. I've friend zoned you and I hope to keep it that way"
She has sent the message and it was loud and clear.
I nodded lightly smiling a little.
We stopped at Bronx.
There was something else on my mind. I needed to talk to Losa about it. From what she said she had read about it.
I needed to understand my nightmares and visions. I really had to.
It was taking a toll on my brain and I was feeling stressed out a lot. We had come out of the car so we walked by the side of the road to Losa's house
" Losa, there's something I need to tell you"
. . . . . . . . . .Ryo POV. . . . . . . . . . .
I really wanted to spar but I didn't know her too well and I wasn't really ready for any trouble.
I still haven't tested out my abilities.
Hell there's a lot haven't tested.
I had the opportunity and threw it away. Even if it's against this girl, Emily.
_I should really get another dungeon to explore. The last one wasn't dangerous at all. Moreover, I was sure I had new abilities since I felt... different.
'STRONGER'
I hadn't seen my roommate, not since I came back from the dungeon.
I think it was a one time deal, so I have a feeling he wouldn't be coming back until he needed me again. So I decided air the sheets of my bed and open the window. I did a general cleanup.
While at it I found -what I feel he forgot- on the reading table in my room.
Holding it firmly in my hand, I smiled to myself.
That ball squeezer of a man didn't forget anything. He left it on purpose.
He wasn't coming back.
I was going to find him, and to do that, I was going to find a dungeon no matter what.
I needed to test my powers.
