Defying Destiny

Chapter 3: Have I found you yet?

"JAMES!" Angel shrieked. "What are you doing here?" 

'James?' Merlin wondered. 

"Well I guess I didn't have to tell you after all," 'James' said to Merlin then turned to Angel, "Oh you know. I was just visiting your town, Angel." 

"Whatever for?" 

"Why-ever- not?" 

"I thought you said you were going somewhere during our break," Angel stated, "I didn't think you were coming here out of all places." 

"You two know each other?" Merlin interfered. 

The two looked at him. "We see each other around campus. He's my good friend's brother," Angel explained to Merlin, "His real name is Jamey Nogard." 

"Nogard?" Merlin asked, "Are you serious?" 

"Is there a problem with my name?" James said begining to sound angry. 

"Oh no, I just think it's rather..." Panicking Merlin thought of some words to describe his outburst without being rude," foreign?" 

"Was that a question?" James was getting really ticked off by now. 

'Oh God, you can literally see steam coming out of his head. I gotta fix this,' Merlin thought, not wanting to get a bad impression from a new 'friend'. 

"Well?" A really pissed of James asked. 

"Err, n-no, s-sir- I mean, I was just asking..Uh-" 

James walked up to Merlin and brought his balled hand up only to send it forward, causing Merlin to flinch and close his eyes tightly. Only for him to feel a hard finger flick his forehead. 

"Just kidding" And with that, James burst into laughter. 

"Huh?" Merlin thought out loud unmoving.  

"Hahahaha- My sides!" 

"I swear to God you're on crack, James," Angel scoffed. 

"What is going on?" Asked Merlin. 

"James' stupidity is what's going on." 

"Hey! It's a rare chance to be able to do this to someone and I thought I might take that chance just to see their faces!" The laughing James stated. 

"Anyway, what are you doing here? seriously this time," Angel asked. 

James stopped laughing and stared at her,"I came here with my sister. She said she was studying something, you know, school stuff."  

"Oh" was all Angel said before going back to work. 

"Well, I should get going. I still have to go do some more shopping," Merlin said before heading to the door again,"It was nice to meet you James." 

"Oi, see you somewhere 'round town eh mate?" 

Merlin chuckled,"Heh, maybe we can get some coffee next time too!" 

"Of course, you're paying since it was you're fault my coffee took a trip to my pants!" 

"Hey, I said sorry didn't I?" Then Merlin left.

The sky suddenly got clearer for Merlin. It seems like he has found his friend. Though that said friend was a bit strange, he might still be that arrogant-prick-of-a-best-friend Merlin was destined to meet.

Walking around town to the market, Merlin looked up. "Strange day eh?" He thought out loud. 'At least, I finally have a good start..'

A/N: I am so sorry for the wait. I had soccer tryouts last week and I had some projects to finish. If anyone's asking, yes, I made the team. I haven't chose a number yet, so if you guys want you can pick for me. I honestly want to pick either 6 or 17. Anyway, what is going on? Who is this supposebly prick-of-a-best-friend? I'm taking a while to get the plot written based on the show. With the druids, and evil witches, all that but more modern, since druids and witches are overrated in the 21st century..
