Seren's POV
"Don't. You might burn it." It's Stella. We are now walking in the hallway to go to the hall. We heard that there is an announcement.
"Are you stupid?"
"Me? No. You are. Give it to me." Stella grabs her book from Astro.
She asked me to put it in my bag for the mean time because she didn't want to carry it. She left her bag in the classroom and now she's pestering everyone.
"That's enough. You two are making a lot of noise, this is all you're fighting about. It's not even a kilo." I answered and put the book in my bag. It's just thin so it's not heavy.
"Eoin, where is Keiji by the way?" Stella asked while looking mischieviously at Yvaine.
That one really got hit in the head.
"Why are you looking for him?" It's Rigel.
"Why are you interfering?"
"Chill." Eoin laughed at the them. "I know he's in the office, adjusting his schedule because he's going to have training."
"Ah... Does he have a girlfriend?" She asked again while her hands are behind her.
What is she? The president of the Academy?
"I don't think he's into commitments. But women do really chase him."
"So he's a womanizer?" Asked Yve.
"No, not that. Girls do go after him, I just don't know if he entertains them. But one thing's for sure. He's not yet ready for a commitment."
"Why's that?" Stella asked again.
"This wit, why can't you let it go? You're not him anyways." I answered, because I know she will going to complain again.
"I'll leave it and let it go, Seren. I'm just asking. So, why, Eoin?" He faced Eoin again who just shook his head at him while laughing.
"I don't know. Maybe because he got rejected before?" He just shrugged.
"He did?!" Yve asked in shock so Rigel pushed him a little because he was surprised and Yve looked at him badly.
"I mean... With those looks? Who wouldn't like him back?"
"Not you, of course. Looks like he's your type." Rigel said while on his phone.
"Who said he's my type? Are you stupid? My types aren't like that."
"Who's your type then?"
"Those who are not like you." Yve answered and turned first to enter the hall. Rigel made a face and held onto Astro's arm.
"What the hell, dude?" Astro was annoyed by Rigel and pushed him. I just shook my head and enetered the hall. When we entered inside, Yvaine was on the side talking to Stella while laughing. What stupidity are they doing again?
We just stood at the side and waited for the announcement while talking about anything.
"So, how's life been?"
I turned to Eoin who was next to me. The four were in front of us and they were fighting over something.
"Good. Not that much." I answered with a quick smile.
You, how does your life been? I want to ask him but something's telling me not to.
"How about here? I mean, the people?"
"It's still the same. You know, people are waiting for you to come back. They say the band is not complete without you." I said with a faint chuckle.
The students here are die hard fans of these ugly ass creatures.
Before Eoin left for Japan two years ago, the students would do various types of preparations whenever they knew they were going to perform. They'd literally fight over these guys.
"Yeah, I thought so too." He said and smiled as he put his hand inside his pocket and looked in front. After maybe reflecting about his decisions, he looked at me again.
"That's why I came back. It's for the band and for yo-"
"A pleasant and warm morning Virtuosos." A familiar face said through the microphone. Because of this, Eoin couldn't continue what he was going to say so I just let him go and looked ahead to listen.
"As much as I like to announce the good news right away, I will still have to introduce myself because maybe this is the first time that you saw me." He said and flashed his genuine smile.
Others screamed his name as if he's some sort of super model. Well, I won't deny that.
"No! Who would forget you, Elijah?!" A cheeky girl shouted.
"Oh, right? I thought so too." He said while still smiling.
"So, before I even forget. I would like to introduce myself formally. I am Elijah Blaise Evans, the new Chief Executive Officer of Moirai Academy. It is a pleasure to meet and serve all of you." He said that made everyone clap, so did I.
Others were surprised that he would inherit the Academy because we didn't know who owned it. Only the other officials were aware, which is a good thing because they do not want to be distinguished from the Academy. At the very least, we know who the CEO is now.
"Okay, let's move on to the announcement. We will be having an event called triangular meet. We will be inviting two more academies to participate in this event and will be competing against each other, including us, in different categories. This event is for you to enjoy and to have fun to. Of course, the Academy will also benefit in this event which can captivate other students' interests in our Academy. The officers will be announcing the categories and other specific details prior to this announcement."
"I am pleased to meet all of you today, and I hope we can all get along. That would be all and have a great day ahead, Virtuosos." He gave a long explanation and went down.
"Aren't some of his friends still single?" Stella asked when they approached us. It's true, she never quiet with her crushes.
"Lewis, I guess?" Si Eoin.
"Yeah, yeah him. Age doesn't matter, right?" She asked again so Astro choked him with his arm and playfully bit her up.
"You, when are you going to stop looking for your type? You haven't stopped. What if I tell your mom about this?"
"Ouch, ouch! Hmm, you asshole, you're really getting into my nerves." Stella replied that she also pulled Astro's hair and elbowed him in the stomach so he let go.
"How about I tell your mom about you?"
"About what then?" Astro asked while caressing his belly.
"That... That you had an ugly girlfriend and then you were forced to kiss her in your first year. What? What?" Stella answered proudly because she knew she got Astro there.
"Hey! For your information, Belle isn't ugly. Besides... Besides, I wasn't forced to kiss her. She's my girlfriend, so why?" Astro replied while his eyes are roaming around as if guilty. He even fixed his shoes, which were not dirty, so Stella won't see him anxious.
"What do you mean not ugly? Look, I can see her now. Her name is Belle, but she's the one who looks like a beast. Oh, what now?"
We laughed at what she said. It's not because I'm bad but because... Stella is right. Even if it's average, I don't think she have reached that phase.
Astro said that the only reason he went with her then, was because he felt sorry because her friends belittled her and that Astro would not like her. Which I think is true. Astro doesn't like her, nor liked her.
"Why do you feel sorry for that fool? You look stupid." Yvaine said. She's the one who saw when Belle when she kissed her brother Astro. I can still remember the look on her face while she was telling us what he saw, while Astro was sitting on the side wiping his lips over and over again.
Yvaine even used that to blackmail him.
"And you weren't really forced into that situation? Think about it, even if you don't have the proper mind to think. Think about it, she's the one who leaned you against the wall and then kissed you--"
"That's enough. The person is already done doing foolish stuffs."
"She's a person?" Stella asked.
"Yeah. You're the only one who's not." Rigel answered her.
"Oh, really? You're stupid too. You fell in front of your crush in high school while holding an ice cream, you idiot."
"That's Yve's fault. She ordered me to buy some ice cream that day."
"Why me? That's Stella."
"Oh, so it's you Stella." He turned to Stella.
"Excuse me, I never once asked you to buy me ice cream. Maybe it's Seren."
"Why me? I'm at the principal's office, that time remember? I was there because of the board that was damaged because of your stupid actions. Maybe it's Astro."
"Hey Seren, don't involve me in the crazy things they do. We were never classmates." When he denied my allegation.
"How can you be a classmate when you're old?" Eoin's casual answer made us laugh when Astro looked at him.
"Ah, is that so? You must be the one who broke it, didn't you? What? What now? Just admit it."
"Maybe. Maybe not." He answered and shrugged his shoulders as he sighed before walking to go out. He was really the one who broke the board because he and Rigel were arguing. He's just playing cool.
We just followed him because the break was over and we still had class.
--
We were in the parking lot and Eoin was in front of their respective cars while talking.
"Are you into sports cars or what?" Keiji asked as Yve put on her gloves.
Oh you have no idea how hard-headed she is like Stella in that matter.
"That's Stella. I'm into big bikes." She said and gave Keiji a smile before walking towards her motorcycle that was parked between Rigel's and Astro's car which was opposite to Stella's and my car.
As Yve passed Rigel, she hit him in the stomach with the back of her hand before grabbing his helmet from him.
Keiji turned to us so Stella and I looked at him.
"Is she going to be fine?" He asked, as if concern.
"Yeah. She can even do like this and like that, in narrow roads. You know?" Stella explained energetically while gesturing everything she said with her hand.
She looks stupid. I even turned to Astro who was laughing at her for what she was doing.
"What?"
There seemed to be some nervousness in his question. Stella pulled her head back as if she knew something.
"She's going to be fine, Kei. It's not as if she will drive a helicopter. When she gets home she'll message me 'I'm home, ugly ass monkey' there you'll know she's safe . I'll let you know. What's your number?" She nswered so I pinched her on the side.
"What? What are you doing Seren? Keiji is with us because he is Eoin's cousin so that's okay." She answered me before looking at Keiji again. "What is it again?"
Keiji gave his number before approaching Eoin because he said he would go with him because he hasn't bought a car yet. But before Keiji got into Eoin's car, he even asked Yve if she was going to be okay.
"I'll be fine, Kei. I can even be there in five." She said and laughed when Rigel hit her so the helmet she had just put on spun around a bit.
Stella poked me in the side so I looked at her and she was pointing at Yve.
"Really, Stella? Are you a professional matchmaker?" I asked her.
"It's possible too. You're curious, right? I can even imagine a love triangle." She said while wiggling her eyebrows before getting into her black Aston Martin Rapide that she loves so much because she courted her mom for several years to buy it.
I just shook my head at her thoughts.
I can't imagine Yvaine and Rigel falling for each other. I mean,it's not that I don't like them for each other, but the way they tease each other is so childish that they don't seem to fit because they always fight.
Same goes with Stella and Astro. They're just plain stupid teasing each other that's why the four of them always fight over something foolish.
Or maybe I still can't see how does that work?
Maybe when the universe aligned some stars it will work. I don't know.
I just shrugged my shoulders and got into my car to follow them to the restaurant.
