Before Regalus could walk away Kasela grabbed his arm and he stopped as his gaze dropped to her white slender hand. Kasela quickly straightened up and dropped her arm as she faced him
"The other night when I first came to this town , you were the one who saved me " She said and Regalus sighed
"So what now" He asked
"Can I be friends with you?" She boldly asked. Regalus raised an eye brow at her
"Why?" He asked as he was already tired of the conversation
"I need your help" she said and he looked at her questioningly
"Yeah, I mean that I need your protection, I don't want to get involved with Maximus and I know only you can stop him" She said and waited with bated breath.
"So you mean, you want to get involved with me?" Regalus asked and took a step closer to her with a smirk on his face. Kasela took a step backward as her gaze dropped to his black boots.
"If I give you the protection you so desire, what will I get in return?" He asked and Kasela looked at him wearily.
She hadn't thought about that yet and she wondered what he wanted. As if he read her mind he leaned closer to her ear and whispered to her
" I wish for you to stay away from me, little rose", he said and straightened up
" Maximus won't hatm you in anyway" he said and left .
Kasela and blinked her long lashes and watched as he left. Her mind mind couldn't register anything he said apart from the strange name that he called her 'Little Rose'.
"What was the meaning of that?" She asked herself and watched as more students came out. Someone suddenly tapped her from behind and she suddenly jolted as she turned round to face Brenda.
"What happened ?" She asked Kasela
"Uhm.... nothing" Kasela replied
"No, there's something you are not telling me and I actually saw you talking to the school prince just now" Brenda said with a frown.
"No.....yes.....uh I actually spoke with him cause I wanted to thank him for helping us yesterday" Kasela said not willing to give more information to her.
Brenda gave her a skeptical look. "Our next lesson is about to begin, lets go back to the class" Brenda said and they went back to the class.
Regalus who left Kasela earlier went to meet his friends, he could understand Kasela's fears but he didn't want the girl to be involved with him. Though he couldn't explain why he had helped her the two times he did, he however wished for them to keep their distance and not cross paths again. Moreover he couldn't stand her scent, something he couldn't explain.
He rarely went to the class as the school had built a special building for them to study. He went behind the school and there stood his three friends waiting for him
"Hey Reg, what kept you for so long" Kelvin asked
"Nothing" Regalus answered and entered the highly decorated building.
It was equally painted in gold colours as the school building. They went in and sat down whike discussing their next move.
"I saw little rose in the library earlier" Maxwell said and Kelvin nudged him when he noticed that Regalus had a frown on his face.
"That isn't what I called you here for" Regalus said with a cold glare directed at Maxwell. Maxwell gulper and muttered an apology. An hour later Regalus and his friends could be seen departing from the school building as they drove out in a black ferrari with Maxwell driving them.
Meanwhile Kasela and Brenda sat in the class as their lecturer continued teaching, however Brenda noticed Kasela's crestfallen face and could not help but suspect that something was bothering her.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Brenda whispered to Kasela.
" Nothing" Kasela whispered back and Brenda shrugged her shoulders.
At night Kasela lay on her bed thinking about what Regalus said to her. She had a feeling that Regalus was mysterious and dangerous, why else would he tell her to stay away from him. Of course her aunt had warned her not to trust anyone but she knew Regalus didn't have bad intentions towards her. He had already saved her twice and she was sure he wouldn't harm her. Where the confidence came from, she couldn't tell but she was sure he didn't mean any harm. Hse wondered how she could get close to him. Thankfully she hadn't met Maximus throughout the day but who knows when he will appear, she pondered. As long as she could get protection from Regalus she would stick to him, she concluded as sleep took over her.
