11. THAT LUCKY BASTARD

Elijah's POV

I found Ethanael waiting for me by the cafeteria door. I introduced him to Dean and Olin and soon we had settled on a table in the middle of the cafeteria.
"Hello." A tall slim guy with brunett curls joined us a few minutes later.
"Eli, this is our friend Oscar but we all call him panda. Oscar, this is Elijah and this is Ethanael." Dean made introductions.
"Why Panda?" I didn't hesitate to ask.
"First, he looks like a panda. Second, he has a wicked kungfu skills like kungfu panda," Olin said and Oscar smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Oscar." Ethanael and I said at the same time.
"Nice to meet you two. Are you guys twins?" Oscar asked and we both burst into laughter.
"We only met for the first time yesterday and we are not even related," I responded with a smile.
"You are like the 10th person who has asked us that question today," Ethanael said, "Do we really look like much alike?" He asked.
"You two kind of do look alike, but it's all good," Oscar responded before digging into his lunch.

I turned to my lunch tray that was overflowing. As I have mentioned before. I love food.
"Are you sure you want to eat all that?" Olin asked and I gave him a death glare.
"Do you have a problem with my eating habits?" I asked.
"No...no i-it's just that you are so small and you eat so much," Olin stuttered a bit now scared.
"You don't get the energy to throw a flying kick from salad. You get it from real food. Anyway, I don't gain any weight. I gave up trying to grow bigger when I was 16. Puberty had done its job and I accepted my cute petite sexy body as it is," I responded with a smile and everyone laughed.

"I like you Eli. You're cool," Oscar said and I gave him a genuine smile. I didn't have to pretend I was enjoying their company. We were all naturally getting along.
"So, what brought you guys to Oasis Island? We don't usually get a lot of overseas students," Dean asked.
"If you want to know, my parents forced me to come here to woo a prince. Which is utterly ridiculous," I said as I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I still couldn't get over the fact that I'm actually here for that.
"Wait a minute. Both of you are part of the ten candidates for the prince?" Dean, Olin and Oscar responded in shock.
"Yes." Ethanael and I responded at the same time. If we keep this up people are not going to believe that we are not related.
Before they could ask more questions, the bell rang signaling that lunch will end in 5 minutes.

"Guess it's time go back to class," Ethanael said and I followed behind totally done with my mountain of food. Olin looked pretty shocked I was able to finish everything.
"Aren't you guys coming?" I asked when I realized Dean and Olin weren't moving.
"We need to check something. We will see you in class," Olin said.
"Okay," I said before leaving with Ethanael and Oscar.

Olin's POV

"Explain why you needed me to stay behind. I have a lot of work to catch up on," Dean said giving Olin a serious look but he got a smile in return. A devious smile.
"Eli is quiet a handful don't you think," Olin said as they thought about their new friend.
"Yes, he is," Dean smiled remembering how Elijah single handedly took down Nick. It was very impressive, "He is strong, confident, direct and fearless".
"And he is totally Marcus's type," Olin finished his statement.
"Do you know what else?" Olin said as he pulled out his phone and showed Dean a picture.
"Oh no." Dean looked at the picture again just to be sure.
"Oh yes. He is our mystery guy from that night. Marcus must be having the time of his life. Finally, that idiot can get what he wants for once in his life. He must have saved a nation in his past life because this is crazy. That lucky bastard," Olin said and they both laughed.

If only they knew Elijah hated Marcus at the moment.
