《The Academy 2》21
Advertisement
After an hour of snuggles, Ali and I decided to head downstairs. We walked into her kitchen to see Gemma sampling a variety of fruits. Apparently, Chico gave her exotic fruits from Brazil, so Gemma wanted to sample them all.
I was surprised that Zara wasn't around Gemma since those two were like glued at the hip. Ali plucked the jabuticaba from Gemma's hands. Gemma whined as Ali took a bite of it. Ali offered me some, but I declined. I then took the plate of food from Gemma and began eating it. Gemma crossed her arms and let out an aggravated huff. Ali and I smirked at each other.
"Ali we hav- what are you still doing here?" Tamsin glared at me. "I thought you would've scrammed with Ali's friends."
"Nah." Ali responded through bites. "She's staying for as long as she likes. "
"Ha! No she isn't!" Tamsin picked up some keys and threw it at Zara, who caught it as she entered the room. "We have preparations to do for our grandma's arrival." Tamsin began snapping at Gemma to finish up eating.
"But, we saw them like last week." Ali scrunched her brows in confusion. One look from Tamsin and her eyes widened and she groaned.
"I thought you loved your grandparents." I stated.
"Yes, the ones on my dad's side. Tamsin is talking about my mother's mom. She's even worse than Tamsin." Tamsin scoffed at the comment.
"Whatever. You need to get ready for the ballet show." Tamsin stated. "That means a driver needs to be fetched to drop Ali's special friend home." She glanced around. "MARCUS! Where are you?!" She stormed out the room, searching for the driver.
Ali apologized for the change in plans, but I told her it was fine since I actually had homework to do. Marcus scurried into the room and escorted me outside. I gave Ali a quick kiss and waved bye to her sisters before leaving.

The drive wasn't that long considering there wasn't much traffic. I thanked Marcus and entered my room. I went to do my homework, but got bored. I decided to call Rue and Logan to keep me company as I did my work.
Rue was talking about this girl she hooked up with at a party. She really liked her, but was so drunk that she forgot what she looked like. I asked if she even knew her name, but she said even that was a mystery. Logan then mentioned this girl he was "talking to." He wanted to make it official, but was really nervous. I demanded that I meet the mystery girl when I return to NC.
They asked when I would grace them with my presence in NC. I told them that in a few weeks we had a break. I also wasn't sure what I was doing for Spring Break, so that might be another opportunity to see them.
Rue wanted to know if Ali was treating me right or if she had to set my girlfriend straight. I proceeded to tell her that Ali was the farthest thing from straight. Logan laughed while Rue rolled her eyes.
I jumped off my bed and showed them my guinea pig, Sir Plumpy Wumpy ( I decided to modify his name). Logan wanted to know how on earth I managed to convince Ali to buy me that. I told him he had a name and wasn't a that. People can be so rude.
Rosé came in with Hailey, Cher, and Taylor. I introduced them to Rue and Logan. Rue, in typical Rue fashion, proceeded to shoot her shot with them. No matter how many times I told her they were straight, she continued flirting, hoping for a different response.

Cher remembered I went to France and wanted to know how everything went. I began relaying the events to them. They were freaking out that I partied with Floyd Mayweather. While retelling my account, I remembered meeting the elusive Skye.
I asked my friends if they knew anything about her. Well, they were shocked that she spoke to me. When Skye attended the school, she spoke to a few elite kids. She was even particular with which elites she socialized with. As one would expect, she was close to the McAllisters. She would always be around Ali.
Skye and Ali one day sort of fell out. They didn't hang together anymore, so Skye began hanging around Zara or Tamsin. No one knew the reason since those two were very private and didn't speak to many. Ali still only speaks to a select few.
They couldn't offer me anymore answers since they had questions of their own. They wanted to know if Alicia and Skye had dated? Why they broke up? Rue wanted to know what Skye looked like. Taylor googled a picture and showed Rue. Rue's jaw dropped at the picture, and then she nearly fainted when she found out Skye is a princess. Rue immediately wanted to know if she was single. I flashed Rue the finger and began speaking with Hailey.
We tried to do our fair share of stalking, but couldn't dig anything up. In the end, we decided to have a movie marathon.

Gaius Atiius Quadratus will not forget this kindness. The MC is based on the monk class of many rpgs, but the story isn't Litrpg. Also he will gain non monk abilities after a while. Fair warning I don't understand the rating system but I'll say M-rated just in case. This is my first story, I accept criticism but I would like the critic to explain the reasoning behind it. Also I'm still figuring how this site works and I have no schedule so updates may be sporadic, at least once a week. Not a native speaker but in the practices, too lazy to actually get the diploma, I got an average of 9.7 out of 10 at the Cambridge C1 level, the CAE, second highest european level for foreign languages, so it should be no problem.
