The party

*During Lectures*
Xena matched confidently like a celebrity to her seat. All eyes were on her except Roy.
This was her first “class” in this department just because she wants to see him.
He doesn't look in her direction until the class ends. When he rose to go out, she followed
“Hey, wait up” she tried catching up with him
Landing by his side and moving in synchrony made him irritated.
He stopped his pace facing her
“I believe I told you to stop stalking me!” he said with gritted teeth.
“Yes, you did, but that was in the past. Today is another day” she replied
“Said who?” he altered furrowing his brows
“Said me. Hahaha… but the truth is, I am attracted to you and I want you to give me a chance to prove I am better than your imaginations” she let out confidentially.
“It takes me a second to lift you and flick you away. Hope you won't mind me doing that” she gulped speechlessly
“Nice. Now f**k off!” he ordered, however, she stood still.
“Give me a chance to know you for a day. After that I won't bother you ever!” she proposes
He considers her words then replies
“A day you say?” he repeats questioningly
“Yeah…”
“Alright… deal” he accepts, and she grins noddingly.
They visited the city but not for so long. Throughout their journey, she didn't stop talking. While he just nodded to everything, she said.

Roy Wilbur POV
“Uhh… you said, you're from…”
“France” I reminded, and her brows lit up
“Yes, France… Sorry, sometimes I just talk a lot and forget essential things. Ok, let's talk about it since you don't know so much about California.” She said eyes focused on the highway.
She proposed showing me around so we took her car. She took over the ride while I was reclined on the passenger's seat.
“What do you want to know about it?” I asked uninterested in lecturing to her about my previous home.
“Anything you want to share” she explained
“Unfortunately, there is nothing to share” I replied, and she peeked at me frowning slightly.
“Okay… you seem to have had a tough time there” she concluded looking ahead.
“Maybe… because of someone special. It has nothing to do with France. It's a beautiful country” I added just so she knows my heart belongs to someone and hoping she stops wasting her time trying to get me.
“Oh! I wish to know about this special someone”
“You can't,” I said firmly looking ahead.
“That is ok…if you don't want to talk about it”
I didn't expect her to say that. I've been so mean and hard with her. However, she keeps being funny and adorable.
That pierced through me like a sharp edge sword.
After a moment of silence and some distance of riding, she stopped at a mountain area far away from the crowd.
It was uptown and high that we could see the entire city. The sun was setting so, the atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing to the mind.
The breeze was gentle. But as time passed, it became cold.
We got out of the car and she spoke
“I always come here when I feel stressed and…” she didn't complete her statement as she went forward at the pic of the hill standing inches from the edge.
I was thrilled she wasn't scared to stand so close as though her life had no value. She didn't look like the person talking the whole time on our way.
I walked closer to her and we stood horizontally looking at the revamp of Los Angeles.
There was a moment of silence. She appeared to be focused on something invisible, thus gaining a stare from me. When she saw my gaze, she asked.
“Do you like it here?”
I looked away nodding.
“I'm happy you do… I've never brought my friends here. You're the first. Do you feel silence speaking to us?” she looked at me expectantly.
“No” I responded
“No?! You mean-- Never mind” she silenced what she wanted to say re-facing ahead.
I looked at her with a slight smile on my lips
“You don't seem bad though”
She rolled her head to my side and my eyes met hers. She smiled widely
“Thanks… Roy”
Her eyes looked peaceful and breathtaking. I didn't want to stop staring at them, but I had to at some point.
I didn't want her noticing she catches my attention. I just looked away.
We tarried for a while before heading home.
...
Rolling over my house, she turned off the engine
“If you liked the trip, does it mean, the will be the next time?”
“The will be no next time. We agreed you were going to quit stalking me after this. So, let us stick to that.”
“Goodnight” I ended hooping out of the car.
“Uhh…wait!” she screamed then followed me.
“Can I at least get your number?”
I stopped my track then looked at her, before replying formally
“Of course…NOT!”
She looked hurt but I didn't get emotional with that as I walked into my house.
*……..*
“I have a request to make”
“I’m all ears to your request my beauty” the leader of the g**g responded
“There’s this girl who has been getting to my nerves lately. I want you to help me order some of your boys to deal with her. But before that, I know you all have been dying to meet up with the lead of the hidden group. So, in return, you could handle him if you want but do not kill him”
“And how do you intend to do that?” he asked
“I have everything planned. A member of their group is not in line with the lady involve and lately, I found out he paid some of your boys to beat her up. Well, I don’t know all of them so well. However, I could search for others depending on the proposal we make in the future. All you need to do is put your guys in place. When they will be positioned, your guys will signal the others to take action. Remember, five of you are minor for Rex to handle. No offense, but that’s the truth. So if you want to get him, you will do as I say”
“Not forgetting the main target here is Amanda. That’s her name,” she added and he thought about it in silence before responding.
“Alright. That’s a good suggestion. One more thing… how certain are you they are going to be together?”
“Just wait and see” she replied confidently
*…..*
Rex was invited to a school party with his friends. At that same party, was Amanda, Xena, Bridge, and Sammy came with a group of friends.
Roy was introduced to Rex by James once he stepped in.
"I want you to meet Rex. The guy I told you about." James notified above the boom of music.
Roy extended his hands towards Rex but was rather drawn into a boy's hug.
"I heard a lot about you" Rex quoted
"Same here" Roy responded exiting the hug
"Come on. Let's have a seat" Rex directed him towards a private section with James pursuing behind.
