Starley's POV

/ edited /

These two weeks would probably be the fastest two weeks of my life even thought they started out to be slow. It was the same routine as it would be in any year, everything in college was normal as it could be, The same classes, the same students, the same professors, and the same boring day over and over again.

Some people in biology class got suspended for watching porn during class obviously, and other than that, it was just plain studying, where the 'stu' would be silent.

But at the same time, even during the prolonging boredom, if there was something interesting going on, it was probably because now I was introduced to a new circle of people.

And by circle I mean only two guys, in which one guy has been one of the many reasons why I actually find college fun now, and not because of our previous encounter or anything...but because I can safely say that he is genuinely a cool person in secret.

There were many things I had to take into consideration after the arrival of both Davien and Brandon here, after you know, coming to know about their secret life as criminals. I don't know if criminals are the right word to use here, but what other word can I use to describe them?

And for that matter, I've been trying to have an actual serious conversation with Belle about the really brutal I discovered that day while eavesdropping.

But I couldn't find the perfect timing to talk about it, simply because all three of these people were working on something really important and private after college, with keeping everything discreet and cut short, and Aria and I would normally have to hang out more with some restrictions.

Don't get me wrong, I already figured that it was because of whatever they do as a gang, but now it included the watch over our own activities. Belle would often lecture in being skeptical and suspicious on the topic of whether I would go, with or without anyone since anyone might be watching us, but she wouldn't give me the exact reason.

So it's safe for me to assume it's because of this supposed Carter guy. Even Davien avoided talking about him with me, so I honestly have no idea.

To be frank, it was at first terrifying to process everything at once. It took me a good amount of days to understand why Belle, or especially Brandon, would be so rude and closed off to me at first, now it's so obvious, he probably grew up in a very dangerous environment.

Heck, even Davien is just that, all quiet and observing, someone who finds no value in talking to strangers as it wouldn't benefit him, or he was worse.

But no with us.

I was at first concerned on whether the guys were even safe enough to freely walk around on the grounds of Los Angeles, with all the authorities being surrounded like normal, but again, I was told to not worry about it. And I wasn't much of a help to them either, it's not like I know how to fight.

And in addition, I got to even know why Davien is going to college in the first place. It was odd to find a dangerous gang leader to be a good college student and appearing to have a normal life, turns out he's doing this as a mechanism to keep himself safe. No one knows how Davien Kar looks like or where he is, and mostly he would use an alias in college to keep his name a secret too.

Same goes for Brandon, but if Belle didn't have enough enemies, boy oh boy did he have a fun history with many other dangerous people out there. Let's not even discuss that, after judging on how he is in general? It's not a surprise that he has made so many enemies.
