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 and Regalus raised an eyebrow at her
"Why?' he asked as he was already tired of the conversation
"I need your help" she said and he looked at her with a questionable gaze
"Yeah, I know my request may sound absurd but I need your help.... I mean I need your protection, I don't want to get involved with Maximus and I know he really fears you a lot" she said at a go and waited with bated breath.
" So you mean, you want to get involve with me?" He asked and took a step closer to her with a smirk on his face.
Kasela tooka step back as her gaze dropped down to his black boots. "If I give you the protection you so desire, what will I get in return?" He asked and she looked at him wearily.
She hadn't thought about that yet and she wondered what she 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 "Fret not, Maximus won't harm you in anyway" he said and left.
Kasela blinked her long lashes and watched as he left. Her mind couldn't register anything he said apart from the strange name 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 jolted as she quickly turned around to face Brenda
"What happened" she asked Kasela
"Uhmm.... Nothing"
"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 friend.
"No... I mean...yes.....uh I actually spoke with him cause I wanted to thank him for Help us yesterday" Kasela said not willing to give more information to her.
Brenda gave her a skeptical look. "Our next class is about to begin, let's go back to the class" she 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 decided to help her the two times he did, he wished for them to keep their distance. Moreover he couldn't stand her scent, which was something he couldn't explain. He rarely went to the class as the school had built a special class behind the main building for them to study. He went behind the school and there stood his three friends waiting for him.
"Hey Regal, what kept you for so long?" Kelvin asked.
"Nothing" he answered and entered the highly decorated class.
It was equally painted in gold color like the main school building. They went in and sat down while discussing their next plan.
"I saw little rose in the library earlier" Maxwell said and Kelvin sighed when he noticed that Regalus had a frown on his face.
"That isn't what I called you here for" Regalus said with a glare directed at Maxwell.
Maxwell gulped 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 her
"Nothing" she 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 more mysterious and dangerous than Maximus, 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.
She 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 and slept off.
