Mine & Only Mine

Chapter 4

<<NEW FRIEND?>>

After examining Rose's ID, he put it in his pocket *Well, this should be an interesting academy.*

He look at his watch and walked towards his classroom where Rose is. When he arrived he saw her sitting near the window in the third row.

He approached Rose who was absent-mindedly looking out the window, clearly lost in her own thoughts.

He cleared his throat to inform Rose that he would like to talk to her and he approached her "Ehm, Miss Rose, your ID. You dropped it."

Rose turned, looked up at him and arced her eyebrow questioning as to why he has her ID or if she should believe his reasoning.

"When you bumped into me awhile ago, you dropped this. Do you remember me now, Miss Rose?" He handed her ID

Rose contemplated for a second and remember who he is "Ohhh, it's you, I'm really sorry for bumping into you. Also thank you."

The guy smiled as his crimson-red eyes twinkled in happiness"It's no worries! A pleasure to help. By the way, my name is-".

He was cut off by Rose as she turned to look at the window again indicating she won't listen to what he'll say "I don't need it."

The guy was taken aback by what she said but dismissed it as he walked towards his seat which is in the first row across from Rose.

He thought to himself *Am I really that rude? Or Does she not want to be friends with me? Or-*

His thought came to a halt as their teacher went inside to start off their first lesson.

While their professor was discussing, Rose looked out the window as she was lost in her thought *This is much better, it's fine for me to be alone in this academy at the very least I have my grandma and my only friend LingLing.*

She smiled at the thought of her friend who was in her previous academy. They met at a fencing tournament finals and they made a history as they have multiple ties before she was crowned as the final winner.

Their friendship blossomed as Ling Ling Cartier transferred to her school, she naturally joined the fencing club and they both had friendly matches against each other.

The once fierce rivals became inseparable friends, her name is Ling Ling Cartier, who has milky-white skin, long dark-blue hair, and emerald-green eyes is the one and only friend of Rose Cind.

After classes, lunch break was set upon the students of Royal Academy as they all flooded towards the cafeteria and some of them went to their hangout place.

Rose who has no hangout place nor wants to go to a crowded place went to the school garden as she sat down on a bench and unpacked her lunch that was prepared by her mum Ellisa.

Meanwhile Hawk and his friends obviously went to their hangout place as they cooked their food there.

There is a mini kitchen there because none of them is fond of eating takeout nor cafeteria food. The academy allow it  as long as the rooftop doesn't get burned.

The main chef of the four is Travis, well all of them is good at cooking and has skills above average but the one who really loves to cook is Travis, so they leave the cooking to him while the others do what they can to help or their just lounging like what's Esquire is doing.

But right now, Esquire who was supposedly sitting on the couch and just playing games or doing other things is missing.

The three noticed their youngest friend was missing and as they made a silent agreement to go look for him. A loud sound on their door entrance startled them.

Esquire came towards them panting "G-guys, ha-have y-you heard?"

Shawn patted his back while Travis gets a glass of water for him and Hawk was just standing there contemplating on the fact why his friend end up on that state.

"Calm down Little Four. Breathe." Shawn instructed Esquire.

After Esquire calmed down, Hawk inquired the question that was on his mind "What news shocked you that you ended up in that state?"

Esquire paused for a moment then he looked at the three of them for their reaction "It's confirmed Ambrosia Bailey is transferring here." While saying that he gave Hawk a side glance to check his reaction.

Travis who was the first to react "What?! That girl really has a death wish, doesn't she?!" His voice laced with anger as he remember the girl in question.

Shawn who was never the type to show exasperating emotion, has a raging glint in his eyes as his face scrunch up in anger and disgust "Hah, she dare come back here!"

Contrary to Shawn and Travis reactions, Hawk remained emotionless by the news as he said nothing but his mind was swirling with thoughts *I gave her chance to not show her face in front of us anymore. What is that Ambrosia Bailey thinking?!*

While Travis, Shawn and Esquire's thoughts run wild Hawk walked throught their mini kitchen, his action abruptly stopped the thoughts of his friends as their eyes followed him.

Hawk went to the kitchen to prepare the things they needed in cooking then he briefly glanced at them for a moment and turned back on what he is doing "So, what if she's back? It's not like she's a threat that should be taken seriously, besides what can she do?"

Travis angrily countered him "Did you forget what that girl did, Hawk?!"

"She will and always will be a nuisance when she transfer here." Shawn said lowly but the anger in his voice is evident.

Hawk said nothing as his two friends fumed in anger behind him.

Esquire who noticed the tension that was building up between his friends casually said "Enough of the talk guys, I'm hungry! Go and cook now."

Before they went to their respective duties, Hawk's turquoise eyes flashed a dangerous glint "If she ever mess with us again, mercy will not be an option."

He said it lowly but the three of his friends heard what he said and smirked.

The tension that was built instantly disappeared when Hawk dropped his statement or oath to them, and the three went to cook their lunch while Esquire picked up his phone and started playing games.
