Chapter 30

On my way to the library, I feel a tap on the shoulder as I see Toby and Greg. Toby offers the same smile as always but Gregory's expression constantly looks like he is on a planet of his own - probably only tagged along cause Toby wanted to.

"Yeah?"

Toby then asks, "Mind talking?"

I furrow my brow, "What about?"

Greg sighs, "Grace and you? I heard that the two of you had a little bit of a disagreement-"

I then shake my head, "Nothing happened," as I try to turn and continue walking Greg grabs me by the arm with an annoyed stare.

"You are an awful liar," he then sighs again, "We know she asked you out, and I for one, seeing as how super outgoing and hot you are, wanted to know for the sake of all men on the Earth why you would say no."

"Sounds like you just want to put your head into a business that shouldn't matter to you."

Greg counters, "Yeah but Grace is my friend-"

"And you but into your friends' business to do what exactly? Talk me out of it?" I look at the time as I realize this is just wasting mine for exactly no reason.

Toby then asks with a smile, "I mean, it is mostly because she has been a bit... you know. Just get you to talk to her for a little bit and just work things out - you don't need to date but she isn't really up to talking to anyone."

I shake my head, "Give her time," it sounds like roping me down into a bad idea, "Everyone needs to come around eventually."

Gregory then scoffs, "Just come out already that you are dating someone else, I mean everyone is going to find out about-"

"About what?" I furrow my brow.

"You and Akali dumbass," he then shakes his head at me as if I am the idiot, "Don't you follow any news? Ever since this Monday morning, it has been floating up in the air, some stating that Akali has a partner and others pointing to pictures of someone that looks exactly like you."

I ignore him as I turn in place - with the sudden knowledge that it might be exposed, I am critically aware of some of the stares but it is only by a few. Others couldn't care less and I should just go on with that mentality.

I plug in my laptop in the place I usually hide and browse the news just to sate my curiosity.

And... well they were right. I guess you can't really see much but this is from when Akali and I went out to fix my pc and got something to eat - having to remove the mask it was pretty clear it was her.

Then a picture of my... home? I furrow my brow as I rub the back of my neck, wondering when the fuck anyone would have been able to take this picture... this doesn't make sense. 

I pull out my phone sending her a message about it, mainly asking what it is we are supposed to do about it.

I... I had planned to just let it exist and not let anyone ever know about it other than the few I truly trust. Was it Michelle that let it slip? I can't keep my head on straight but I can just tell that when I get identified it will start getting very annoying.

***   ***   ***

I sigh as I make my way out of the main building. I haven't been approached but it is seriously starting to feel like it will explode in my face at any moment - Akali even told me not to freak out because she is coming to pick me up at college so that we can handle it.

Why hide it? It is bound to just explode eventually I guess.

I don't get far before a sudden group of people rushing outside knocks me to my knees, I shoot them a glare. They don't stop as I lift myself to my feet and wipe my hands off my pants - I am willing to bet my entire net worth that they are rushing to see Akali outside.

This is such a bad idea. I told her it was. This can only get worse and worse.

I reach the main door only to be stopped by three guys, I haven't seen before as they block the outside.

"(Y/N)? Right? The boyfriend?"

Taking a deep breath, "Probably just a rumor."

One snorts, "When'd such a pussy get such a chick?" he looks at his friend, "Looks like playing like a little lost child is enough these days."

The other one rolls his eyes, "Must know something you don't you lonely fuck," he then looks at his other friend who has been quiet the entire time, "And? You saw him for yourself and we can confirm it."

"Nah I feel like we need to talk," he gestures to me with his eyes.

"Nah," another voice from behind me chimes in, "How about you three fuck off?" I glance over my shoulder to see Conrad and Matty.

Conrad then throws his arm over my shoulder as the three of us walk through, he then whispers, "Akali said to come and fetch you because she had a feeling that people might look to start a fight or come pick on you."

"That and you are pretty easy to bully."

"Thanks, Matty."

He smiles, "A pleasure as always."

We don't get far to realize where all the commotion was headed, Conrad then sighs, "I am starting to think that she really didn't think that one through, did she?"

"I told her it would be a bad idea."

We get closer but it appears she is just all smiles, dealing with all of them with ease and then moving from one to the other. Celebrity life and all that - we get closer and closer as most of the people that got what they wanted from her but they are still close by.

We get closer to her as Conrad untangles himself from me, "Boyfriend delivery service."

"Thanks," she rolls her eyes at him, "Anyone bothering you, (Y/N)?"

Conrad speaks again, "Not after we chased them away."

"Picking fights for my sake is stupid," I mutter only for him to push me forward, Akali comes to me giving me a tight hug, "This was also a stupid idea."

"I know," she then pulls away pushing a helmet into my chest, "But get that on, and then get on the bike - Ahri wants to talk to both of us so it should be pretty fun."

I sigh, "Really?"

"Yeah," I do as I am told but Akali doesn't look that bothered by it, I almost expected her to be a little more upset.

Guess it doesn't change much for her, or I am overthinking it.
