With the rest of the people who were in the principal's office to leave, June stayed back. Her green eyes, staring hard at the owner of the office who was quick to notice. He asked," Do you want something?"
The man held a striking resemblance with Keaton because he was his father..
Adrian Korner, therefore stared at the beautiful woman who stood before him.
Her eyes becoming small," I can't believe that all these years, you ended up not taking good parental responsibility of Keaton."
Then, the man's perfectly shaped eyebrows, raised as if to question her about what she was taking this topic to.
" Don't you see? That kid is walking on the wrong path. You had better correct him before he gets lost. "
Adrian moved the chair on which he was sitting on back and moved to stand two steps away from the lady. He asked," What are you saying?" His head, tilting to the left while letting a small smile play on his sensual thin lips," That you can take a better parental responsibility than me?"
" I never said anything like that, Adrian. I'm only telling you to straighten the curled tail of your beloved son." came the woman's stern words that caused the man with tousled black hair, to purse his lips and just stare at her.
Soon he brought his enchanting face close and placed one of his hand at the side of June's head for support so that he wouldn't lean too close. A smirk, forming on his face.
" And why do you care?" came his direct question to her that when he spoke, warm air, drifted across her.
June stared back into his hazel eyes, wondering if this man had hit his head hard to ask her such question.
Like-
WHY WOULDN'T SHE CARE!??
She'd spent her life training younger vampires and amongst the list, his son was one of them that she found hard to instill good manners.
" I cannot just believe you, Adrian-"
" I asked you a question, June," with the way he'd mentioned her name, made her to gasp and Adrian hadn't missed to catch the little movement.
Anyways he asked again in a lower voice that one could find seductive, but not June.... perhaps.
" Why do you care?"
Then the woman's brows creased to glare at him," You should ask the descendants that question when they arrive, then you'd know."
Then, the door opened. The female intruder, not missing to catch the lovely dovey happening in the office.
Her face, red as if getting the first kiss of her life, before she then shut the door," I'll be right outside."
Ever so, the next day came and the news of the death of the girl, still lingered. Nico stepped into the lunchroom with his friends and sat at the table far away but that didn't stop people to look in their direction..
With Nico's fingers waved round the coke can in his hand, he brought it to his lips and took a long sip from it, consuming the blood content, mixed with alcohol. And when he brought his hand down, the pressure of his hands, reduced the light aluminum object into the size of an aluminum saucer.
A few students who'd picked up the noise of the object crumbling, turned their gazes to look and the Triple Three was one of them.
"Well, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" asked one of them with a crooked smile on his face before he then whistled.
Then he two friends agreed whist staring at Ember from their table..
The Triple Three who were in their table,chuckled, "She looks fresh and untouched. No doubt, she'd taste nice." said another who reeked of trouble... His head, tilting,still looking in Bora and Ember's direction.
Enzo.
Until Bora turned her head to look back at the person who'd been looking at them, they stood up and the blonde's eyes widened.
" Oh no!"
The boys got to their table. Enzo asked," Mind if I join you?" his eyes on Ember who also, stared back at him. "Let me guess, you're the Triple Three?"
The boy's lips drew into a thin line. He smiled.," Yes."
So, he drew out the chair next to her that was empty, creating a loud screeching sound across the hall that caused the students to flinch at the noise, well, except few.
" Mhmm." he hissed. " Heard that Percy's giving you pretty tutor lessons,"he smirked.
Randolph spat the water in his mouth from shock.
" What!?"
Then, Enzo looked at the boy still keeping his smile" She didn't tell you?" He questioned. And Ember glared at him." Go straight to the point, Enzo."
Then, the bad boy's lips pulled at the corner— a smile that didn't reach his eyes. " I'm saying, that I could give you better tutor lessons than him. " suggested the boy , with a questioning look on his face, leaving the girl's friends to stare in utter flummox as they hadn't known whom her tutor was until now.
" Thank you for your concern but my answer remains no."
She was quick to decline.
Raising his hand, he brought it to move the longer strands of her bangs, off her face, which had prompted her to slap his hand away, anger, settling on her face, she told him," Leave." in a cold tone that she barely used.
Enzo, moved but didn't leave, saying," Your innocence interests me. But it's your courage that amuses me the most."
With Enzo to voice out his words, it alerted Ember that the boy and his two other friends, were up to no good.
So, she stood up followed by him. Staring him right in the eye narrowly, she questioned," You wanna go toe to toe with me?"
Then,surprised gasps sounded, well, except for the two notorious boys from the famous four. Keaton smiled," You think they're gonna fight? It's been four years I saw bloodshed." he asked Nico who's eyes were watching too but didn't respond immediately. He said," It was four days ago, Keaton." his voice, boring like he'd been depressed all his life.
" Oh! I see."Keaton, smirked and drank from his coke can, impressed by the girl, while remembering what had happened in the forest, four days ago. And to Enzo's words, he agreed that she did have some unweaving courage. Something that made her very different from every other girl here.. his tongue, peeking out to lick the residue of the drink off his lips...
And to the mischievous boy's question, Nico doubted the fact that Ember could handle Enzo in a fight.
" There's only one way to find out." he told her, his eyes falling at her hands that'd turned to fists,and Bora warned," Don't hit him!"
" Oh! "said Ember," I wouldn't dare to. You know why?" she inches her face close to his and says," Because that'd be an animal abuse."
Bora laughed and the boy looked at her, glaring fire and brimstones. The girl waved her hand,"Sorry, it was just so quiet."
The boy stepped back and waved both of his hands as a sign for his team to retreat. The smile on his face, unwashed. Bora watched till the boys left the room, then, she laughed," that was awesome!"
Then,her smile fell, " Awesome because you defended yourself. Not awesome because he'd hunt you afterwards." Explained Bora in a tone of concern. Her face turning pale from fear.
" And that's why you have to steer clear from him and his chicks." Tristan added," Guys." Ember called, waving her hand that held her fork, saying," Relax. I can handle myself. Besides, he can't do more than a dead rat."
Tristan's face became serious from her reply and he told her in a warning tone," That dude is dangerous." " What are you saying? That I'm five?"snapped the red eyed girl from slight anger while hating the fact that her friends were being a little too overprotective.
" It's not what you think-"
" Save your breath, Tris." she told him, got up and then, left. Tristan sighed.
Keaton smiled," Why does it seem like it's going to be so interesting?" his teeth, holding the ring of his coke can which he'd torn off. He chewed on the metal." What do you think?" he asked Nico who glared at him," Stop asking me about my opinions, Keaton. Their rocky friendship matters is none of my business."came his friend's nonchalant reply which seemed to have intrigued him to smile like the ill mannered boy he was.
" That was not what I meant. I was actually asking if I should go for the girl. What did Khali say her name was?" he frowned dramatically like he was thinking and then, exclaimed," November. That's after I break up with Dahlia." then, he sighed," Man, that girl has been a pain in my ass."
Nico suggested," Then, break up."
" You think it's easy? And two, I wouldn't want Dahlia to die of hypertension, high fever, headache and a little bit of heart attack!"said the bad boy where his friend rolled his eyes like Keaton cared about Dahlia as his relationship with girls, women, lasted for about a minute. Except this time he's dating Dahlia. It'd surprisingly, lasted for about, a month now but don't let that fool you. Keaton had never taken interest in Dahlia...
"That reminds me, "Drawled the boy whose hazel eyes beamed with unfathomable excitement." How much progress has been made...the stuff about Vera Kim?"
" Nearly. Adrian is still making sure all traces of evidence that could expose us are cleared crystal."remarked Nico where Keaton kept mute.
Meanwhile, as Percy and Khali had finished their work in the library, they walked outside.
" Man, that math homework,made my braincells almost burn up." whined Percy." Did you know that I had to proofread the examples thrice?"he asked and Khali looked at him briefly, commenting," No." she continued to walk while he kept on talking about how hard his math homework was. Khali paused her step,causing Percy to crash into her. " ow!"
" Fuck!" the girl murmured and her friend who'd heard her swear, stood beside her. Curiosity in his eyes to see what she was seeing.
He asked," Who are these people?", eyes on the floor below them where they moved to the pretty annoyed looking couple that he'd never seen before. But from the looks of things, it seemed like Khali recognized one or two of them.
" Vera Kim's parents."
Then, the boy with 90's-Grunge hairstyle, murmured," Seems like someone must have leaked the information to them earlier than Keaton's dad."
