"Jenna!"
I turned towards the person who was calling my name. "Oh Greg Anderson, Hi!". Greg was jogging towards me and I slowly walked towards him meeting him halfway.
"I just saw you from afar, so I thought why not?", Greg said while catching his breath.
"Huh? I don't get you", I replied.
"Oh sorry, I do that sometimes."
"What? Still not getting you dude", I said raising my eyebrows.
"Nevermind. What I meant was I saw you from afar and I thought you could do some company", he said, shrugging. He sounded like he's doing me a favor.
"Wow! Thank you for offering your services Your Highness. I never thought you would ever come down your high horse", I said sarcastically.
He smirked. Why does he look so cute.
He was wearing their organization shirt just like Max, but unlike Max, he had a golden badge or brooch in his left chest.
"C'mon, let me show you around", he said offering his hand like a real royalty. He was playing along and for that he earned points.
I curtsied and took his hand. "It'll be my pleasure", I replied smiling. I took my hand of his after a second. He's eyes showed a little annoyance but he covered it up well.
We went around the grounds and to the booths that I haven't visited yet. The last one left is Alpha Anima. We passed by Candice while she was busy browsing through the art catalog of ARTryst. Greg did not notice her though.
Candice gave me a knowing look. "We'll talk later", she mouthed.
Greg and I decided to get some drinks first before going to Alpha Anima. He got me a mango-banana shake while he had a soda for himself.
"So you're Candice's brother", I asked innocently.
"You've met my sister? Wow I was never addressed as Candice's brother before. It's usually the other way around, or names like 'hot stuff', 'gorgeous'.", Greg replied.
"Why are you so full of yourself", I joked. "Candice and I are classmates, along with Max. You know Max? He said you were orgmates", I layed everything out in the open. I hate playing innocent.
"What a small world. Yes, Maxie is my bestfriend. We joined the organization the same time", he replied smiling. I snorted when I heard him call Max Maxie.
I sipped my shake to hide my snort. He looked at me curiously but the curiosity slipped off after a second.
"C'mon let's go to our booth."
"I think I'll meet you there later. I'll go get my friends first", I excused.
"I can go with you"
"No, you don't have to. Your booth's the loudest so we won't get lost finding it. Also, Candice is sort of flirting with someone, do you wanna see your sister in action?", I joked. That scared him off.
"Okay, see you later". He jogged away towards his booth.

After pulling Anna from the Student Leaders' Association, we went to get Candice in ARTryst. It turns out I wasn't wrong, Candice is really flirting with someone.
"Well hello Anna and my very pretty sister-in-law, this is Tyson, he's the president of ARTryst. Tyson, this is Anna and Jenna". I looked at her and widened my eyes at her before looking at Tyson and shaking his hand.
"So are you art enthusiasts as well?", Tyson asked.
"I love art but art does not love me", Anna replied. "I can't even draw a straight line", she continued. She suddenly realized she said too much and laughed nervously.
"Hey Tyson, sorry but we have to go. We were sort of meeting up with Candice's brother", I said. Candice smiled knowingly at me. This girl has to stop.
I pulled Candice and Anna with me. "See you around campus Tyson", I waved at him. From afar, I think he was smiling, not at me but at Candice. Oooh her flirting worked.
----------------------------------------------------
Max ran to us when we were approaching their booth. I saw Greg standing at a table, looking at me and I smiled at him. He smiled back.
Candice nudged me, "I saw that", she said grinning. Seriously what is wrong with her.
"Candice, there is nothing going--", I started. "Nuh-uh, let's talk later", she interrupted me.
"Welcome future members of Alpha Anima, I'm Claire, the Council head of AA. We hope you would continue and endure the application process and be fully pledged members of the organization. Let me call my assistant for membership, Kerstin, to brief you on the tasks that you have to do."
I was nervous and sweating since the moment she said 'endure the application process'. My gut's telling me I'm not in the right and safe place.
