The Unknown Service

The Unknown Friend

***Chapter 3: The Unknown Friend***

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking peacefully, books in my arm, hearing the random chatters of students that are crowding around the billboard, sighing, walking pass the chaos that the students created around the billboard.

"Yoo hoo, hey Zosia, how's your two days without me?"

Says this nuisance here, I don't know who she is, but she is following me around with no reasons. But she has long hair that reaches her waist, sharp eyes, and she is pale.

"Peaceful," I answered shortly. "Hey, Zosia, can I borrow your notes?" She asked gleefully. When we reached our class, I turned around and looked at her. "Excuse me miss, can I ask you something?" I asked, and she nods at me.

"Miss, can you stop following me? I don't know you," I told her. "I'm Ashanti, Ashanti Crystal Clarisse," She reached her hand for me. "What?" I asked. "You said you don't know me so I introduce myself to you," She answered.

"Why do you always follow me?" I asked. "I wanted to be your friend, I see that you are something special that no one can see," She answered.

I smiled at her and accepted her hand. "Sia, call me Sia," I then turned to sit down, and she sat down beside me. "Never thought I will have a special friend like you Sia, I will never forget this day,"

"Hey Zo- I mean Sia, do you have a club?" She asked. "Not yet, what club are you in?" I asked back. "Art," She answered. "I've been sketching since I was a kid,"

"I need to choose volleyball or music," I said and get my notes to let her borrow. "It can be both, since The Unknown Service are in varsity and also they're in the music." She rest her cheek in her palm and looked at me.

"Hey look, Oajun's looking at us." She nudged me while waving at them. I just look at him emotionless and he just smiled at me, I looked away piling up my notes, since I have my laptop with me.

"Here," I gave my notes to her and rested my arms at the table. "Since I have my laptop, I will let you borrow." I took out my laptop and turned it on. "Good morning class, the topic for today is the parts of the heart,"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, wait." I heard Ashanti running to me out of breath. "I-huff-am not as-huff athletic as you huff," She said out of breath. "Then we should order you something," I said as we walk to the canteen.

"What do you want? I'll order," She said, and I look at my phone for today's menu. "A soda and Porkchop with fried rice, thank you," I then look for a seat and found at the back. Sitting there swiping on my i********: and waiting for Ashanti to deliver our foods.

"Here we go, porkchop with fried rice and soda," She said and sat down in front of me. "Well, since we're friends, let's get to know each other,"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yeah it's hilarious, haha," I laughed. We were talking about our one of the most embarrassing moments we had. "Ashanti, there you are," I heard someone calling out her name. "Keifer, sorry for not telling you,"

"Who's she?" He asked. "Zosia, Ashanti's friend," I introduced my name as I held my hand for a handshake. "Keifer, Ashanti's suitor, from engineer department, nice meeting you." He shook my hand and smiled.

"Sorry Sia, but me and Keifer will going somewhere, mind if we walk out?" Ashanti asked. "Ok, I'm almost done anyway, enjoy!" I said Beamly.

"Same as you Zosia, goodbye," They said and waved at me as I finished I heard someone talking. "Hey, can we sit here?" I looked at them and it's the band again, I nod at them and walk away.

I ignored them and walked to the library, reading a book as always and also enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

I heard the chair in front of me moved; I looked in front of me and saw Oajun smiling at me, his cheek resting at his palm. I looked back at my book and read silently, I then use my earpods to listen to something just to avoid someone in front of me.

***"When you come around me

Treat me like you miss me

Even though you been with me

When you come around me

Do me like you miss me

Even though you been with me"*** *(Come Around Me by Justin Bieber)*

I just silently read there when someone tapped my hand, I looked at him emotionless and turned back at my book. I then felt something tapping me again, and I ignored it. I just looked outside, annoyed because of the nuisance I am with.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking around, waiting for my chauffeur to fetch me, I looked around and saw a black car coming. Knowing it is not my chauffeur, I looked back at my phone again.

"Hey Zosia, come with us, we will drop you off." I saw Ashanti with Keifer driving. I smiled at them and opened the back door and hopped in. "We will just gonna fetch my little brother then we will drop you off, fine?" She asked, and I nodded.

Keifer turned around while I tell my chauffeur to not going to fetch me. Looking at the window, I saw them again.

*Why do I always cross-ways with these guys?*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ashanti, Keifer!" I heard a kid running here. "Hop on now," Ordered Keifer. "Who she?" He asked. "Hi, I'm Yuri, and you are?" He asked as he hopped in. "I'm Zosia, your sister's friend," I answered.

"How old are you?" I asked him. "I'm eight years old, how bout you?" He asked back. "I'm seventeen, almost eighteen," I answered him smiling. I noticed he had a volleyball, I then smiled at him.

"Yuri, do you like volleyball?" I asked, and he smiled. "Would you like to play with me at my house later?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WOW!" Yuri beamed. "Is this an outside volleyball court?" He asked excitedly, I just smiled at him and ask if he wanted to play.

"Ashanti, Keifer, feel comfortable, tell the maids what you want, they will serve you." I smiled at them and look back at Yuri. "ZOSIA!" I heard someone calling me and I saw Caius.

"Are you playing?" He asked, and I nodded at him. "Let me in!" I heard him and teamed with me. "Same," I heard Cassius and teamed up with Yuri.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Time for dinner, come on," I heard the maid and I smiled at her closing my book and put it away. I walked down the stairs seeing the family except Caius is there.

"Caius?" I asked. "In his office," Dad answered. "Mom, Dad, when do you plan going to vacation, just rest for a few weeks, we will be fine here,"  I assure them.

Mom and Dad are planning to go to vacation and rest, but they worry us not being fine here without them, especially me since I am still seventeen.

"After your debut, we will go to a vacation okay," she said and smiled. "I heard you brought friends here, it's been a while since the only friend I remembered you brought is just Allistair,"

"Yeah, and speaking of Allistair, he said he will come back here at the end of the month," I said. "After six years being away from each other, we need to launch a welcome party," Mom said.

"Mom, a dinner between families is fine for him, and I know he will appreciate it," I said to her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning, Sia," Greeted Ashanti. "Good morning too, Ashanti," I greeted back. "How's Yuri?" I asked. "He's fine and he won't stop talking about you, he really likes you, I can tell that," She said.

"He loves volleyball, since I don't know how to play, it is hard for him to play with me, we just play around, chit chat and random," She said. "So, I know he really likes you cause you know the thing he really likes,"
