HIS ADDICTION

10: ATTRACTIONS

"Why are we here?" Lil spoke first. After 3 minutes of silence and intense staring.

"I got a warning from James" Chris said.

"What?" Everyone chorused.

"Chris was with the registerer yesterday. He needed to sought out an issue in his profile." Damian said.

He motions for Chris to continue.

"I was about leaving the office when James and two other guys blocked my way.".

"What did he say?" Lil asked

"He said, we had something that belonged to him. his girlfriend. and he would come back for her and also put an end to the Elite group" Chris said with a frown and he looked at his mates and they all shared grim looks.

Lil and I gasped.

"What will happen to us?" Lil asked.

"Nothing will happen. It's a mere threat" Stanley said.

"Should we inform the others?" Tiffany asked.

"Yes, give them a call" joe said

"Tell them to track down all of James activities, his house, family, relationships. I want every single information about him!!!" Damian barked out orders.

"Is it necessary to involve the others about this" ray walked up to damian "they might end up telling us to go back home. And that's not the agreement"

"I am scared" lil turned to look at Chris. They both shared solemn looks that almost seem to ease Lil's worries but then she shook her head slowly "I am really scared, I didn't come here to Join any group. I came to study, what if I get hurt" tears slid down her face.

I rolled my eyes in obvious irritation. Who cries over a threat. What is with James and wanting me to be his girlfriend, last I checked we went on one date and I liked to lil about our relationship not because dating James would be fun but because I wanted to keep the boys away from. According to hierarchy here, nobody wants to get into the black book of a course rep. Few months into the university and I am being threatened. Or rather the elites are being threatened.

Who are these elites. Why would they take the threat to slides. Fighting with a course rep is fighting with all the course representative and few lecturers and that's like coming into the school to just fight cuz you won't graduate. No matter what. But these guys don't seem to mind, they smell like trouble. I remember Damian telling James something about their history. What history?. Have they met before?.

"Lil, I promise you, nothing will happen to you" I stood up and walked up to her "I promise".

"How can you promise. This is all your fault"  I stepped back at her outburst Everyone had the same shocked expression. That was the first time she was overreacting over something so little. Maybe a little big if both words could be placed together.

"You are overreacting" Tyler cried.

"I am not overreacting I, I, " she started sobbing.

I understood her fear and worries, reminded me of when I was younger, I would cry on my way back from school. My fellow kids bullied me all the time, they'd say my dad was supposed to be the breadwinner and the head of the family but he couldn't work for a loaf of bread and he had to keep his head in the house all day while his wife went out to provide food for the family all day. But I was older now, braver and maybe stronger.

"Hey, it's going to be okay" Chris held her hands and tried to calm her down.

"No it's not. You don't know what the course representatives are capable of doing. Once they set their eyes on something, they finish it off. no matter what. we will be surrounded by threats and danger!!" she shouted.
