Royal Blood

Aaron

Axton Green that is the new kid's name. Big nerd glasses, awkward smile, looks like he just hit puberty. Boring. What is with these kids joining in the middle of the semester. Trishika and Allayah are laughing together like always. Trishika waves bye to her and leaves. Now is my chance. I follow her but keep a distance. 

The day just ended; everyone is already out to go home. She blends in with the crowd, but I did my homework, she'll go say hi to her boyfriend and head home. And I was right as always. I hide in the bushes and watch; I know it's creepy, but it is what it is.

Finally, she is alone. She freezes, didn't take much for her to notice me, huh. My friends told me I have the ability to disappears. Of course I do, all those years sneaking around the castle, tip toeing so that mother doesn't notice me.

"Hello Trishika." She whips her head around, she was surprised but covered it quickly, she knows something.

"What's up Aaron." She says smiling. She looks at me expectantly.

"Nothing, just wanted to ask if you let you know if you could let me in that secret of yours and Allayah." I say nicely as possible and give my sweetest smile, that shit works on anyone.

"I don't know what secret you're talking about?"

"Oh, just that one that involves taking extra classes, bunking school, sneaking off to The Angels dressed as a waiter." Her eyes widen ever so lightly. I smirk.

"You know, it's just us girls partying and stuff." She dismissingly waves her hands.

"Cut the crap, Trishika and tell me." I stop smiling, my voice deepening with a lethal edge. She gulps, good we're making progress.

"Aaron, are you angry for some reason, plus we needed some money and sneaking off and bunking that is normal." She shrugs her shoulder. Her phone rings, she puts it to her ear.

"Sorry" She mouths and starts walking away.

"It is normal but what is not normal is entering a building and coming out five hours later wearing completely different clothes, and I checked that building has been abandoned for eleven years." I say in my mind, she stops completely still then starts walking again. Purposely talking louder now.

.

"Hey watch it!" Rohan says half turning back. He has been irritated since morning. His crush rejected him. Sad.

"S-Sorry." The new kid, Axton says. Fixing his glasses, he has a gap between his teeth, face filled pimples. He scurries off.

"Geez, Rohan you scared the poor kid away." Xavier says, walking backwards.

"His fault, he bumped into me." Rohan huffs.

"Still, you could have been nicer." Ok, something is definitely wrong, Alex has been taking way too much lately.

"Who are you and what have to done to our Alex." Rohan says dramatically.

"Our... Alex." Alex deadpans, looking up from his phone.

"What? Are you somebody else's? I thought you were ours." Rohan says putting his hand on his chest. 

"Yes, our Alex who doesn't have time for us, and has an attachment issue with his phone." Xavier says nonchalantly.

"Aaron?" Her sweet voice rings in my ears. I turn around and look at her. She is tying her hair. She has the same outfit as Trishika when she disappeared into The Angels. Interesting, she also works here.

"Allayah right?" Rohan cuts me off, he smooths his way towards her.

"Yeah, you are Rohan, Xavier and Alex right. Aaron's friend." She says pointing at each of them one by one.

"Wassup?" She asks.

"Oh, we just wanted to know if you are dating our Aaron already." Rohan asks, this bitch, I elbow him in the chest.

"Damn it, I thought I had a chance with him, but he is yours already." She smiles, it's...it is beautiful. I want it. Not now Aaron. Rohan and Xavier start laughing, Alex is still stuck up on his phone. 

"Oh no, he is our friend, you can make him your boyfriend." Rohan says, I'll murder him one day.

"Aww thanks, say Aaron will you date me?" Allayah says, laughing, I can see a challenge in her eyes saying "you think you can handle me". Well darling, I can, i say in my mind to myself.

"I mean, I am not that bad, right guys." She continues, Rohan and Xavier move to her side.

"Of course, if he doesn't say yes, I'll date you." Xavier says.

"You will do nothing." I growl. Allayah eyebrows raise up as if silently saying I won.
