Truths Hide In Shadows

Chapter 6

Xcellence tapped his fingers on the coffee table of a small, downtown café. He and the team were out having some drinks, so they could prepare for another tutor session.

Honestly, when they went for the class, they actually understood the math terms that the teacher tried to drill in their heads! Though, Hall took no crap from no one! For a small nerd, he knew how to freeze anyone with a single eyebrow raise!

"Hey, maybe the little guy could help us on our other classes?" A man named Eraser called out, jugging down his pumpkin latte.

"Hey! That'll cost me more money!" The golden blonde smacked the dude with pale, greyish-rainbow dyed hair.

"Hey, how much do you pay him?" One of Pup twins asked, his deep black eyes shining with interest.

"A month's worth of good chocolate..." Marvel groaned, leaning back in his chair. "He's gonna get diabetes if he continues like this."

This caused an up roar of laughter! The men didn't even know why they found it hilarious!

"Are you sure that you two are related!" Dogamy shouted, tears rolling from his dark green eyes.

"As positive as you dating your girlfriend!" The blue eyed twin laughed out, earning another round of belly laughs.

Slowly, their laughter died down, all flushed from their guffawing. "Come on, we don't want Halluciv outside in the cold." The star of the team commented, pulling out three twenties.

The other's nodded and got their stuff. They all carpooled in either Marvel's or Xcellence's car. The drive was relatively short, but loud nonetheless.

"Guess we're early." The tall twin smiled at his friends when they saw that no small, black haired, young adult waiting outside the plain white door.

He reached for the door knob, finding it unlocked. He never leaves his door unlocked...

They all held a confused look, did someone break in?

Slowly, the blond-haired jock opened the door, the smell of cookies and cake wafting out like the smell of pumpkin in the autumn wind.

"Marvy?" The dark twin walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of frosted cupcakes, some blue frosting on his cheek.

The star jock felt heat pour into his cheeks as he stared into the soft indigo eyes. They were bright and full of life, much unlike the bored and dull ones he saw the day prior, so filled with childish wonder as they held confusion. They were breathtaking...

"How did you get in my house?" The brighter twin looked around, his blue eyes filled with worry.

"Oh! I unlocked your door of course!" An innocent giggle sounding from him as a sugary smile was thrown on his lips.

Xcellence felt his heart beat faster. There was no way in Hell, someone could make breaking into their sibling's house, just to bake sweets, seem innocent!

"How! I didn't give you a key!" The blue eyed twin shouted, exaggerating every word.

The other just rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen.

"This isn't my first time getting into your place." Came a simple reply.

Marvel face-palmed, muttering a few curse words under his breath. 

"Dude, your bro is a psycho." One of the other jocks snickered, an annoying smirk on his lips.

The blond only nodded and motioned for them to go into the living room.

They all lounged around the living room for a bit, being quiet for once in the last few hours. Then Lucy, Lu and Reboot walked in, the two most nerdy and hot students of the College.

Reboot held two covered trays of chocolate and strawberry cupcakes? The college slut held a smaller tray with chocolate chipped cookies, leaving the tutor holding a large plate of several different kinds of cookies.

Jerry whistled at Lu, wiggling his eyebrows. The taller male scrunched his nose up in disgust, boys only wanted one thing from him and he knew what it was.

"Sorry, Jerry," The name was spat out like poison. "but I don't date morons." The sassy male growled, standing taller with a very peeved look to his face.

"Pfft! I didn't know you had standards, Lust!" Greater barked, earning a couple of laughs.

Lust winced as a hurt look crossed his face, glancing down at his tray.

"Oh? Didn't you date this one chick just because she said hello? At least Lust tries to get to know them first." Lucy fired off, getting 'Oh's from the immature adults and a chuckle from the quarter back.

"Hall's got a point." Celly smirked brightly, glancing at the odd trio.

Greater blushed a deep, blood red as the two extra males snickered.

"Well, I got to go to work. See ya later, Lulu!" The lavender-haired male called out, exiting the house quickly.

"Bye, Lulu. Next time we should go to your place and fix it up." Chirped the dark friend as he gave a quick peck on his friend's cheek.

"By, Re, I'll call ya later tonight." The soft spoken brother told, smiling at his friend.

The game designer giggled and nodded. With that, it was only the football team and their tutor.

"Okay, let's get started."
