"Why is Melanie and her friends in their room?" Brian asked. "Wait a minute. Look at Almora's hands, there's a tattoo. Even on Becky's neck and Amy's leg" Oliver said. "That must be the mark of the chosen one" Lucian said. They wanted to wake them up but had a second thought and left them. "Let's go. We will see if they tell us anything when they meet us" Lucian said staring at Almora.
They locked the door back from the inside and left.
The girls woke up one after the other. "I feel so fresh" Almora yawned and stretched. "That was the best sleep I've had in a while" Melanie said. "Let's all freshen up and leave" Julie said.
"We can't go out together as we can't get them suspicious that we know what happened to us" Amy stated. "True that. We can't let anyone know that we are together" Stacy seconded. They finally got to a decision that they would continue to behave like enemies and wouldn't tell even the boys that they were now friends.
After cleaning up themselves and the room, Melanie and her friends transported back to their room. "Let me call Lucian and find out where they are" Almora said and took out her phone.
She dialled his number and the phone rang four times before it was picked. "Hello H3" Almora said immediately the call was picked. "Hey" Lucian replied.
"Where are you guys?. I and the girls want to come over there" she said, cheerfully. "We are at the cafeteria" he said plainly. 'Why is he talking so plainly?' she said in her mind. "Okay bye" she said and Lucian hung up immediately.
"He didn't even reply me back" she muttered to herself. "They are at the cafeteria guys. Let's go" she faced them and they nodded.
They took their phones and left. They got to the cafeteria and saw the guys at their normal seat. "Hey guys" Stacy waved at them as they approached the guys.
They sat down in front of them. Almora was looking around and when Lucian noticed that, he asked "What or who are you searching for?". She turned to face him and asked "Have you seen Evans?".
"No I haven't. The last time I checked I wasn't his babysitter" Lucian said with a bored expression. "Hey! Stop being rude, he's my boyfriend" Almora said. "Like he deserves it" Lucian muttered to himself.
Almora took her phone and dialled his number but he didn't pick up. She tried 4 more times but he still didn't pick up. "Maybe he got busy" Stacy said as she noticed that Almora began to get worried. "I guess so" she shrugged it off as she stared at her phone.
"Almora answer him" Amy said, smiling weirdly at her. "Who should I answer and what am I answering?" she asked, creasing her brows as she was confused. Amy pointed at Brian and said "he saw my tattoo and asked about it".
"Oh!!! the tattoo" Almora said as she thought of what to reply. "She didn't get the tattoo alone. Even I and Stacy also got ours" she said, turning her hand for them to see. Stacy also raised the arm of her top. "Why did you guys get a tattoo?" Oliver asked.
"We got it because we wanted it. End of discussion" Almora quickly said in one breath. Almora turned and saw Lucian staring at her with probing eyes. "Why are you staring at me like that? Stop it, it's scary".
"It's my eyes and I can do anything I want with it so how does it disturb you" Lucian said, raising a brow. "It disturbs me because it's your eye. So, please stop it" she said doing the stop sign with her hand.
"By the way, what were you guys doing in your room since this afternoon that you are coming out by evening?" Brian asked, leaning forward. The girls had already began to feel uncomfortable. "Well we had our tattoos done. Then we had lunch in our room and fell asleep" Stacy explained and Amy and Almora nodded. "Hmmmmmm" Brian hummed.
"Why does it feel like we're being interrogated? Can you guys just stop it, we came here to eat and have fun with you guys?" Amy said.
"Sorry about that. We were just being concerned as you guys took so long before coming out" Oliver apologized. "It's okay, we understand but next time don't make us look like criminals being interrogated" Almora said. They ordered for what they wanted and started digging in.
The boys glanced at them once in a while as they knew that the girls were keeping something from. They didn't even mention that Melanie and her friends were in the room.
Ms Carmen walked to the Shan building and knocked on it. After knocking three times, the door opened and she walked into the room in a poised manner. Immediately she was in, the doors closed shut.
"Oh my, you are back" he said as he walked out of the kitchen. He stood in front of Ms Carmen. "I want the explanation of the whole thing" Ms Carmen said not showing any expression.
