The Five

Chapter 4...

All eyes are on my car it seems like, and that's before the gorgeous Syn steps out. She basks in the attention. I step out of the car and walk around to her side to pull her along. She quickly steps into my stride and I ask her what stores she is looking to hit. She says "ALL OF THEM!" That wasn't what I was expecting at all. We walk until we come across Forever 21. She skips over to all the little skimpy dresses and points several out to me. I just nod in agreement to them all. Dresses aren't my thing. Now, Jeans and tees...Yessir." She buys like a gazillion dresses and still wants to go to American Eagle. We walk and decide to stop for pretzels. We get up to the line and I spotted the boys. I point them out to Syn and she rolls her eyes but smiles and calls out to the boys, ignoring the girl surrounding them, "Hey, boys, are you all following us?!" Her smirk blatantly tells she's joking. The girls around them scowl at us both. I see Niks arm and follow it till I see it's wrapped around some blonde bitch. Wait. I don't even know this chic. We walk over to the boys and with one look, Syn sends two girls flying out of their seats. We sit down and I ask specifically directed towards anyone but Nik "How was the movie?"

"We didn't go." Veen says. Probably because they were too occupied by these chics.

"Why not?"

"Sold out." Aires said.

"And there wasn't another movie y'all could see?" I raise my brow and chuckle.

"Nope, these ladies held our attention better than any movie could." Veen winks at some brunette girl behind me. She giggles and Veen says "I meant Syn and Mey" His face dead pans. I look behind me and see the girls face go pale then change to pink. Little did she know, Veen was just messing with her. That's how he was. A class clown and such a harmless flirt.

"You girls go to Raven?" Aires ask. I shoot my brother a look and when he smirks I roll my eyes.

The blonde speaks up "Yea, well me and Chassidy do," She looks up at Nik "Do you go there too?" Nik looks up at me and holds my gaze before dropping his arm off of the blondes shoulder. "Yea."

"We do too." Syn says happily engaging in conversation. While they talk my mind wanders off. Why are we here? I mean I know we're not here to just be friends with each other. There has to be a reason we came here. Raven Academy is a prestigious school and you either got money money or you smart as hell. I've come to find out that they didn't have to pay for Veen or Aires because they're smart as hell. Now me on the other hand. Well...I get by. I'm vaguely aware of Syn dismissing the girls. She's now snapping in my face. "What?" I clip out a little irritated.

"Feisty princess." Nik says.

"Feisty my ass, Nik." I give him the finger but quickly put it down when I see who's behind him. He's fucking gorgeous. We make eye contact and his black, black eyes reach mine. They so black. I almost can't see his pupils. But he is still handsome. There's something regal about him. His movements are fluid. He smirks at me and turns toward me. He starts walking toward me. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. He reaches the table and Syn looks up and gasp at him. I take it she is shocked by his intensive gorgeousness. Almost more intense than Niks but not quite.

"Nik..." Syn says softly and I now see the worry in her eyes. Nik breaks off the conversation with Aires and Veen abruptly. He looks to the side and sees the mysterious boy. He stands quickly and faster than I realized possible. Nik is clutching the boys shoulder with a knife firmly pressed against his stomach. My eyes widen but I don't intervene. Nik speaks low and gruffly "Why are you here, Torres."

"Your lady friend caught my eye." Torres smirks and looks at me. Nik follows his line of sight and says "You will stay the hell away from her and everybody else at this goddamn table or so help me, Torres, I will end you. For good this time." Torres doesn't miss a beat though. "Synbia, you really gonna let it go down like this?" He ask
