Roommate Wars

Ch 4- Why do you have ties to the Russian Mafia?

William Beckett (Will)

"Again?", I ask

"Oh sorry I didn't mean t-", she starts spitting out apologies

I laugh, "If you wanted to be close to me again you could have just asked"

She narrows her eyes at me. 

I stretch my hand out to her so we don't have to continue our conversation while she sits on the floor, "Will".

She grabs my hand, "Ivy"

I look over at the girl standing next to us, she's laughing and staring at Ivy while Ivy looks at her like she's about to pummel her face in.

Mason steps out from behind the girl, "Will, this is my cousin Alia and her friend that you've apparently already met"

Her face turns bright pink, "Mason can you please show me and Alia to our rooms?"

"Unnecessary, I will show you you're room. And I'll call Grayson to show you to your room Alia.", I say smirking.

Alia looks grateful but also furious. She's kinda scary.

"GRAYYYSONNNN", I call out to him

"What?", he says walking up. When he sees Alia he starts fixing his hair.

"Grayson, would you mind showing Alia to her room?", I ask

"I-uh yeah um come on", he grabs Alia's suitcases and starts chatting while they head upstairs.

Mason looks uncomfortable.

"What the hell was that?", Mason says looking at Ivy and me.

We both shrug smiling.

I quickly grab Ivy's wrist in one hand and one of her suitcases in the other, "Let's go"

We start fast walking towards the stairs. Once we were out of reach for Mason to her I turned to her, "So when did that happen?"

"To be honest I don't know. First I heard of it was a day ago", she says

"So you just had to see me again huh?"

"Interesting, considering you're the one who's holding my wrist and dragging me up the stairs"

I drop her wrist and narrow my eyes.

We walk up the stairs and I guess the silence got too loud for her because she starts asking me questions.

"Do you read", she asks

"Occasionally"

"Favorite book", she asks. She looks very serious like this question was the most important.

"Hmm well, I really liked Percy Jackson in middle school. But those books are still good I reread them a few months ago. And the last book I read was about a girl and a guy sending letters through her closet, but I can't really remember what it was called", I say

Her mouth drops wide open and she turns around from where we were walking. "Percy Jackson and Divine Rivals?!"

"Yes! That's what it was called", I say

"Have you read the sequel?", she asks

"No, I didn't know there was one. But I should've known since it ended on such a big cliffhanger."

"We need to pick that up from the bookstore and read it. And then obviously discuss the book for an hour.", she says with a serious look on her face

"Sounds good let's go tomorrow?"
