Playing for Keeps[Kingx#1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

13 years ago...

Ellie was staying in her playing teacher with her dolls as she was going to start school in a few day, till she heard a soft thud. She turned to see Archer near her window. Her eyes grew wide.

''What are you doing in my room? '' she raised her voice. She feared him a little as she wondered if the devil had powers like 'Him' from power puff girls since he appeared magically in her room. It would be kind of cool if only he wasn't R. She watched him cautiously.

''I live next door'' he shrugged.

''But..but...''

''You are stupid. Have you used the window?''

Only then she remembered, their house was so close that it was only a few feet apart. He don't have powers after all! R was surveying her room as if he owned it.

''Well..'' she thinks of all the possible way to make him go away, 'You need to take permission and you don't. You entered anyway so I'm telling mama''

''Yuck!" He ignored her completely, 'what are these' he looked at her Barbies in disgust. She had tons and was proud of them. She jutted her chin out

''Barbies. They are all mine'

Archer scoffed. Then, he turned and studied her. He nods as if in approval.

''Okay, I decided that I am going to keep you.'' Ellie jaws dropped. Did R thinks that she's a cat?

He gathered all her dolls and barbies in a basket and bought it near the window. He emptied all its content in the small space in between the windows.

''Nooo'' Ellie protested as she ran towards him. She pulled his shirt to move him away.

''From now on, you will play with only the things I give you''

She started to sniff softly, 'But I don't want any other''

''Don't cry. I told you that I will give you toys to play with. I'll give you action figures, they are much cooler''

Ellie lips quivered, her tears almost falling.

'' Okay. Okay. I'll even lend you my plane.'' He pouts. As if the sentence was to make it all better. He even pats her hair!

She didn't care what he said since none of it make any sense to her. So, she cried.

Archer frowned, 'Why are you crying? '' Ellie wailed as she pushed him.

''You are such a baby'' Archer grumbled unhappily and climbed out of her window to his.

PRESENT. ....

Ellie slumped in her chair with her cheeks flat on the desk.

''Whoa! Ellie's actually looking depressed in class'' Tori looked amused as she poked her side. Amy laughed behind Tori.

'' Is it because of him? Maybe he's changed, you've met him only once'' Amy said.

''Twice. He has definitely not change when he burged in my room without my permission this morning. He's still bossy and a bully. Have I mentioned he again live next door" Her friends were speechless.

''Okay, let's change our topic. Ellie, basketball season is coming soon and you are managing all the boys medical needs right''

''Yeah.Coach put me in charge of it''

''Damn, the boys are lucky. Our medical in charge is Sandy. She'd kill to be in your place''

''Why?"
