Chapter 25&26
•Game House•
The game house is a one storeyed building. Bored guys come here to play games to calm anxieties.
Stephanie and others stayed on the lower floor, by the right corner where snooker games are played.
The lights glimmered blue. Fast beats with low bass bloomed in the air.
Guys roared, clapped, screamed and hissed loudly.
Stephanie watched her friends play. They’re playing two against two. Emmett and Evan against two guys which she knows one’s name cause he’s in her level and she’s heard people call him so many times today.
His name’s Blake.
She screamed and cheered but not much.
She’s just thinking about Logan even when she doesn’t wanna think about him.
She just wish he’s here,at least. Even though they won’t talk.
“Yo!”Emmett raised his fist and brought it down by his side.
“füç?!”Blake screamed.
Emmett and Evan knocked their knuckles against each other and hugged.
“Bestie,your turn”Emmett called Stephanie.
“I haven’t really played snooker”Stephanie said.
“C’mon dude”Emmett pulled her.
Cooper stood up and snatched Evan’s cue, he got to Stephanie and stood beside her.
“I’ll pair with Stephan”he said and Blake glared.
“I only let your friends win,I won’t take it easy on you and your friend”he muttered, smirking strangely at Stephanie.
She murdered him in her mind. She doesn’t know but she wanna kill this guy.
His behavior is rather annoying.
His partner took the shot first,he did fairly.
Cooper shot next, perfect.
Blake, incredible.
“Bestie,you can do this!”Emmett yelled.
Stephanie couldn’t even hold her cue stick well,but she aimed all the same.
She was almost pocketing a color ball when large hands held her arms from behind.
A red ball was pocketed and boom!
Multiple reds rolled into the pocket.
🗣️:Whoa!
🗣️:That’s one shot!
🗣️:He’s gonna pot a color ball
🗣️:Nice one!
Stephanie widened her eyes and turned to Logan who released her already.
His eyes are still bland but she could spot a glint of little emotion in them.
“I’ll try”he gloomily started.
“Hey that was cheating,you’d have let him play himself!”Blake yelled but no one even looked at him.
“I’ll try to reduce my harshness. I’m sorry”Logan said.
Stephanie smiled and without thinking,she hugged him.
It took a little while before Logan hugged her back. Not too tight,just okay.
Cooper didn’t know when he dropped his cue on the board,he stared at Logan and Stephanie with an annoyed expression before walking away.
Evan rolled his eyes and followed him.
“Is this a reconciliation or what?”Emmett finally found his voice.
“Weirdo,it’s hard for you to apologise. What’s the length of your sin?”he continued.
Stephanie almost broke the hug but Logan tightened it. He hugged her tighter than anything she could think of.
Blake glared with a wicked smirk and marched out, throwing his cue away.
“I’m beginning to doubt that Logan isn’t bi. I haven’t even hugged my bestie that long”Emmett said.
Guys laughed.
But Logan and Stephanie didn’t break the hug.
They won’t. Not now that both are feeling warm and satisfied.
Outside
Evan pulled Cooper and hit his chest lightly.
“There’s nothing love can’t do right? Logan is gradually falling for his roommate without thinking. He’s turning gay”Evan chuckled.
“yon give a füç?”Cooper rolled his eyes.
“Coop, Stephan isn’t your type ah swear. That guy is almost a baby”Evan said.
Cooper nodded. “I know”
“So..”Evan tilted his head.
“Gotta calm my brain”Cooper muttered and walked away.
Evan sighed and checked his phone when a message entered,with a little smile,he started typing as he walked.
•Nelly’s Home•
Nelly’s legs are crossed on a table as she sipped her pepperish icecream from its straw with one hand and scrolled on her phone with the other hand.
She’s reading her fans comments in the school blog. They’re highly eulogizing.
The votes are out. Nelly won.
She’s got 5 million votes and those disgusting H whatever girls are nowhere close.
She’s not smiling but she’s pleased. This is exactly what Nelly loves.
People respecting only HER. And seeing her enemies go DOWN for her.
That’s exactly why she loves being among the clan. Clan doesn’t respect the enemies.
Nelly’s phone rang, disrupting her thoughts.
‘George’ is the caller. She ignored it.
“Not now,man”she groaned.
•Queens College~Room 070•
“Great,we got a million votes”Hazel groaned and fell her cheek on her pillow.
“We tried”Paige shrugged. She didn’t look up from her phone. She’s been on it for minutes.
“We didn’t get quarter of what Nelly has”Harper said.
“Okay”Paige nodded.
“What the hell is wrong with my fortune teller? Is the gods speaking to you through your phone?”Hazel sat up.
“Exactly,”Paige laughed.
“You both, idiots”Harper said.
“Show me your friend and…”Paige started.
“I’ll show you who you are”Hazel completed.
“So you’re an idiot too”They both chorused.
“Whoa”Harper stood up and fell back on her bed. “Quite catchy”she muttered. They laughed.
“Really? Now?”Paige blinked at her phone.
Before the girls could ask what’s up,she ran into the bathroom.
“Gotta be three times cleaner”She yelled.
“Okay,I think Paige is really a fortune teller”Hazel nodded at Harper who almost burst in anger.
“I’m changing topic,when am I meeting Stephan?”Hazel continued.
Harper literally divided into two.
•The Swimming Hall•
Cooper’s gaze is as usual on his phone. His scrolling through his gallery and he’s got this sad expression on his face.
In the photo is himself and another guy,both almost in every photo.
The guy looks almost familiar.
The scene flashed almost immediately.
Flashback
Sounds of thuds can be heard. It’s raining that night and the masked person running won’t stop running. He’s running for his life.
He finally hit his leg on a little rock and that made him fall.
He looked back and tried standing up but the chaser got to him and gave him a defeating blow that sent him flying.
The chaser who’s also hidden behind a mask walked forward.
The first guy groaned on the wet ground. His black clothes is already making holes as a result of the cruel rain and sword slashes.
He weakly turned to sit on his butt, moving backward slowly with his hands as support.
His chaser pulled out a gun and wasted three bullets on him without thinking twice.
Then the chaser removed his mask revealing his cold face.
Cooper.
•Reality•
Cooper opened his eyes and looked around before sighing.
He kept his phone beside him and stared at the pool.
He has to calm his mind from his past and Stephan.
He jumped into the pool.
•Open Park•
Logan and Stephanie sat across each other on a table for two, like they’re on a date.
Stephanie is eating everything on the table.
Cornchips, burger, sandwiches, popcorn, burritos and fries for semi-snacks.
Then Grilled turkey,samosa and spring rolls, Veggies and a bottle of milkshake for food.
Upon all those,she still got popsicle in between her lips.
Logan stared at her like she’s a movie. He didn’t take his eyes of her. Not for once.
“Yunno,I’m grateful for you agreeing to keep my little secret”Stephanie chewed.
“I didn’t agree,I just wanted to”Logan replied.
She swallowed and shook her head
“No wonder you’re called Weirdo. You’re still you,can never change”she muttered.
Logan said nothing.
“But thank you”she smiled. He didn’t talk.
Stephanie stabbed her turkey mercilessly, slicing out a part with her knife.
“So weird”she muttered under her breath and forced a smile.
“So you got siblings, family?”she asked, shoving the sliced part into her mouth.
“No”he replied.
“Ohh”she nodded. “Wait, what did you say?”she blinked.
“My parents and my four sisters died in an accident years ago. I was part of the victims but I survived”he said.
“That’s bad. You’d have cried a lot.”she said.
“I also lost my parents…I don’t know my parents. Heard dad died a long time ago,mom died while birthing my brother…she couldn’t help it after pushing me out to this world,she lost blood, strength. Well Stephan successfully came out but mom was dead by that time”She bit her lower lip sadly.
Logan’s brows twitched slightly.
“Stephan and I were taken to the orphanage,we grew up together,we were told our story and we both promised not to leave each other but he left,my little twin brother left and…”Stephanie started crying even when she didn’t wanted to.
Logan stood up, walked to stand beside her and gave her a handkerchief.
She looked up at his poker face, sniffling.
“Here,you shouldn’t cry in public. You’ll draw attention and it’s risky”He looked away.
Stephanie smiled and collected the handkerchief. She wiped off her tears.
Even with Logan’s moody attitude,he gave her his handkerchief?
He’s not cruel after all. He’s just a weird dude that has to be kissed to calm his weirdness.
Stephanie chuckled at that thought and gave him back his handky expecting a ‘after using it for your annoying tears,you’re returning it?’
But Logan collected the handky and placed it back in his pocket.
“Stephan died,his corpse was brought back to the orphanage, whoever brought his corpse is not known till date but I..”She burst into tears again.
Logan was forced to roll his eyes, looking away as he stuck his hands in his jean pockets.
“It’s okay. Let’s go back to training in the resort, that’ll at least calm you”he said.
Stephanie wiped off her new stream of tears with her hand, using the arm side of her hoodie as a handkerchief.
“Help me get up,I’m full”she stretched her hand to Logan who faced her with a soft glare.
“Stop behaving childish”he muttered.
“I am childish. Now would you help your childish friend and roommate?”she mouthed.
Logan removed both hands from his pocket reluctantly and placed his palm for her.
She took it with a happy smile and he pulled her up. She stuck her popsicle back in her mouth, before dusting herself off.
“You’re my new bestie. Second to Emmett”she winked.
“I’m more than that, girlfriend”he started walking.
“Whoo, really? What are to me then?Am I right to think you’re crushing on me?”Stephanie teased as she walked with him.
“I’m your secret keeper”he replied.
“füç? you weirdo”she said in between her teeth.
They both walked back to the resort.
•Room 100•
Emmett and Ryan approached the door same time. Emmett leaned and stared at Ryan’s face before smiling.
“You’re not drunk”He said.
“My middle name is drunk,huh?”Ryan frowned.
“C’mon bro,I’m joking. You didn’t wanted to come with us to the game house and I was scared you were thinking about your ex”Emmett explained.
“And since you called yourself a friend,you’d have followed me”Ryan sneered.
“Not when it’s snooker dude. After Skiing is Snooker. Okay,I’m sorry,but you’re not gloomy and I’m glad”Emmett patted him on the arm.
“Wanted to go destroy this, but I changed my mind. I’ll give it to someone I cherish”Ryan brought out the bead necklace from his pocket.
“Awwn,that’s the spirit bro. So who’s that one person you cherish? Me right?”Emmett winked and tried collecting the necklace but Ryan moved back.
“I rather break it than to give it to someone who’d abandon me for a game of snooker”Ryan scoffed and entered.
“Ryan!”Emmett entered too.
•Somewhere In Montreal, Canada•
•Condominium•
On the highest floor sat a penthouse.
Beautiful with posh furnitures and glass wall that has panoramic view.
One can literally see the world from up here.
The livingroom is spacious with wide terrace. Comfortable black leather couch,a TV set,large foot carpet standing in the middle looking like a sofa,tiny red light signifying doom and danger.
A man in suit stood before the glass wall, staring at the beautiful city.
There’s a mug in his hand which he’s sipping from
Someone entered through the elevator’s door. It’s the same guy who intentionally pushed Stephanie and obviously he was shadow watching them that night at the resort.
The man didn’t turn to look at him
“Proceed”his fingers danced on his mug.
TBC…
