Malevolent or Virtuous?

Chapter XXXIV

(Hotel lobby)

An hour later....

"Ugh, I still can't get over the fact that Kilo-san is our new roommate," Drake said as he paced the lobby back and forth. Everyone else was doing their own thing but in their rooms, well except for Drake, Khalid and I. "It's already bad enough that Khalid is my roommate, just putting more stress into it already."

"Hey, I'm right here!" Khalid said angrily but Drake doesn't care. "Who is this Kilo Yasheato, anyway?" He asked who was sitting on a couch across from me with his arms folded.

"It's not your business!" Drake yells. I'm glad we're the only ones in the lobby, not even the person at the front desk is there anymore.

"Drake, yes it is, it's his new roommate too, not just yours." I reminded him.

"Why can't he move in with one of the teachers or a different room?" Drake asked acting like he ignored my comment, as he still paced back and forth.

"What....me?" Khalid said curiously.

"No, not you," Drake answers, "I mean Kilo-san."

"Oh." Khalid replies back.

I wonder why Tyrone and Kyirosh aren't going to be roommates and squeeze in one of other rooms or they could be roommates and Mrs. Kya didn't mention about them. But she and the teachers usually tell us when we have another kid in our school. Maybe only Kilo is doing this and not Tyrone and Kyirosh. I still don't get what their plan is.

"Now what are we going to do?" I ask Drake.

"Now Khalid and I have to go upstairs and move stuff around so we can make room for Kilo-san," He answers and stops pacing. "Come on Khalid."

Khalid gets up from his seat and Drake and him go to the elevator.

I watch them as they step into the elevator and the doors close. Now I'm the only one in the lobby.

"Actually you're not." A voice said behind me. I jump from me seat and turn to see who said that.

"King Norman?" I said in shock. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm here to see you," He said as he smiled.

"What did you want to see me for?" I asked keeping my distance away from him.

"Well, you know to see how you're doing, and you're looking great it seems." He answered. "Plus I wanted to talk with you."

"And what was it you wanted to talk about?"

Before he answers back, the elevator dings and the doors open. King Norman and I look over at the elevator and see Richard step out.

"Emily, I thought you'd be here, plus Drake told me you'd be down here," Richard said as he made his way over to me. "What are you doing here Gale?" He asks King Norman in a stern voice.

"Talking with Emily." King Norman replies.

"I hope you didn't lay a finger on her, if you did you will regret it, and you will regret ever coming here." Richard said standing in between King Norman and I, to separate King Norman from me.

I'm glad Richard is here, he is able to handle things when King Norman is around.

"Get out of here." Richard hissed at him.

"It is such a shame we didn't get to finish our talk," King Norman said to me. "Good bye, and farewell to you, Emily dear." He said and then exits the hotel.

"Are you alright?" Richard asked after turning to me.

"Yes, I am." I answered.

"Let's go back to our rooms, I think your roommate is wondering where you are." Richard said as we went over to the elevator.
