"Why did you lie to her about your identity?" Jason asked Oliver as they were going home.

"I didn't lie. Whatever I said was technically true."

"Technically true but not complete truth." Jason said shaking his head in disappointment.

"Well, I was pretty surprise that both of them didn't recognize me. I thought I am famous."

"I think they didn't expect to see you, which is why they didn't recognize you."

Oliver shrugged as he turned up the volume of the radio and looked out of the window. Jason shook his head as he understood that Oliver doesn't want to talk about it.

Oliver got home to find his younger brother yelling excitedly while playing the VR game.The living room was a mess. There were foods on the table. Napkins here and there and food packages on the floor and some cans on the floor.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" Oliver literally screamed at Grayson, but Grayson had a ear plug on his ears and couldn't hear that.

Oliver went and unplugged the system and Grayson yelled.

"Who dare did that!" As he took off the VR and smiled sheepishly as soon as he saw Oliver's angry face.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have anywhere else to hang out in?"

"I don't have credit cards. What do you expect me to do?" He said annoyed.

"That doesn't mean you come here."

"You were the one who blocked my cards." Grayson yelled.

"Because that was your punishment."

"Why are you punishing for your mistakes?"

"What do you mean by my mistakes?" Oliver said angrily. "Who was the one who brought the creepy stalker to my house."

"Who told you to flirt with her in the beginning!"

"You think so? You think that I am mad or something."

"You are no doubt still mad." Grayson said.

"What!" Oliver said losing his patience.

"Fine. I will just hang out with Liana." Grayson said standing up and taking his coat.

"What did you just say? Who you are going to hang out?"

"I said it already and I am not repeating it."

"If I heard correctly, you said Liana."Oliver said looking at him.

"I don't know what you heard,but I am not going to say anything because I am so done with the way you are treating me." Grayson said as he walked out angrily leaving Oliver to think.

Grayson was sitting at 7 -eleven sipping his yogurt drink and his instant food. He was not that happy and everyone around him felt it and no one approach him.

"Excuse me, you are taking a lot of space." A guy said pointing at Grayson's long leg which took up the other two empty spaces and Grayson even took another space for his bag and coat.

"Can't you see I am not in a good mood now." Grayson said really annoyed.

"For your "bad mood" why everyone have to suffer." The guy said.

"Excuse me?" Grayson said absolutely shocked by the guy's attitude.

"You are excuse."the guy said. "Now move your legs and things, people have to sit here too."

Grayson didn't want to argue anymore and just huffed before removing the things.

The guy was eating sausage and scrolling through the phone. Grayson looked at him from the corner of his eyes to not make it obvious.

"What do you want?" The guy asked without looking at Grayson.

Grayson sat up straight and said, "What?"

"Why are you looking at me?"the guy said still looking at his phone.

"I was not." Grayson said sounding defensive.

"Sure." The guy said putting his phone down and looking at him. "Lucas
"The guy said.

"What?" Grayson said surprised

"My name is Lucas."

"Grayson."he answered.

"You don't seem to be around this neighbourhood, do you?"

"Why do you think so?"Grayson asked.

"Your clothes." Lucas pointing to his expensive clothing.

Grayson give him a "are you serious?"look.

"What brought you here.?" Lucas said.

Grayson didn't answer.

"My cousin got a call after lunch to help her friend run errands and here I am trying to waste time."Lucas said laughing.

"You live with your cousin?"Grayson asked.

"Not really. I have off until my new semster starts in 2 weeks,I live in the dorm." Lucas said.

"You seem to have a good relationship with your cousin. My cousins are annoying."Grayson said.

"My this cousin and her sister are the only cousins I am cool with, the rest are just." Lucas said never ending the sentence.

"Sounds pretty cool." Grayson said.

"What sounds pretty cool?"the guy asked.

"Your relationship with your cousins."

"Yea. You might see her soon if you are staying a little longer." Lucas laughed. "Too bad she didn't find herself a boyfriend yet."

"What is her name?"

"Why? Are you interested?" Lucas smirked

"I know someone who might be interested." Grayson said.

"What? You will recommend a high schooler for my cousin? Well,the younger one the sister is still a high schooler so she can, but not the older one."

"What is the older one's name?" Grayson asked again.

"Liana. Liana Parker."

"Does she work in Comic Centre?" Grayson asked.

"You know her?" Lucas said surprised

"I know her, but I am sure she doesn't know me."

"Are you her stalker?"Lucas asked.

Grayson smirked because he now can meet Liana,finally. Grayson went to Oliver's office at home and found some information about Liana on the table. There were mostly personal informations like her home address, her family, her home, her schools and friends, her hobbies and favourite things. Grayson found it creepy and curious as to why Oliver have these things with him and he didn't mean to say that he was going to meet Liana,it was just he was so angry that he said it. He was excited to meet Liana and to learn more that why Oliver has a background check on her. Grayson smirked at the idea, while Lucas looked at him confused.
