𝐈 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 at my food half-heartedly, whilst casting a quick glance over to where Lila sat with the rest of our brothers. I looked up from my food as two people slid into the seats next to me. Victoria gave me a small smile, "Hey, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever."

"Yeah, feels like it's been ages," I agreed with her, not daring to look at the person sitting on my left.

As Victoria snuck a quick glance at my twin, I slid my eyes briefly to the person on my left. He was watching me intently, a thoughtful look on his face. Once he caught me looking, a bush spread across my face like a wildfire. Damnit. I glanced away as Victoria resumed speaking to me, "Why's Lila sitting with your brothers?"

In my peripheral, I saw him gesture at some other people across the cafeteria as I absentmindedly responded to Victoria's question, "We had a small fight. Nothing major."

"Major enough that she's decided to not sit with you," Vic mused to herself.

Two hands landed on my shoulders, a male voice speaking, "Who's not sitting with who?"

Victoria casted a glance my way, "Doesn't matter."

"No, no, tell me the goss," Myles waggled his eyebrows cheekily as I turned to look at him, a smile plastered on my face.

Blaize rolled his eyes, "Trust you to act like a child. We were just talking about Akira's twin not sitting with us."

Myles' eyes slid towards their table, an indecipherable look flickering across his face before he faked being wounded, "Blaize, how could you? I'm not a child, you're the only child here."

"There's nothing more dangerous than a child leader," Blaize locked eyes with Myles.

Myles burst out laughing before sending him a wink, "That didn't even make sense Blaize, I mean sure, you may возглавить всю чертову цепочку but we all know who's in charge here." (Lead the whole damn chain)

Harvie butted into the conversation, his low gravelly voice matching the expression on his face, "Guck nach dir selbst. Denken sie daran, in wessen gesellschaft wir uns befinden." (Watch yourself. Remember whose company we're in.)

I raised an eyebrow as Myles' hands on my shoulders tightened, and watched as he exchanged another glance with Blaize.

Ryo broke the silence that followed by dragging a chair out from under the table and collapsing into it with a heavy sigh, "Let's not have a pissing contest just yet boys."

"You speak German?" I addressed Harvie, surprise written on my face.

His eyes darted to me, a solemn look on his face as he gave me a curt nod, "Do you understand German?"

"Nur ein kleines bisschen," I responded. (Just a little bit)

"Deine aussprache ist gut," he gave me another nod, his face not betraying any of his thoughts. (Your pronunciation is good)

Just as he finished his sentence, the warning bell rang. I stood up from my chair and offered my arm to Victoria, "Shall we?"

"We shall," she grinned at me.

I leaned against the wall, my arms folded across my chest as I watched Victoria and Ryo discuss something heatedly opposite of me. School had only ended a mere five minutes ago, and as I was leaving, Ryo had jumped Victoria and me.

Tapping my foot impatiently, I watched as they finished their conversation and headed over to me, both with different expressions on their faces. Ria's mouth was set in a thin line, whilst Ryo had a relieved expression covering his face as he spoke to me, "Wait here, okay? Somone needs to tell you something."
