Chapter 368 I Think I'm In Love
"What are you doing here, Adrian?" Ria asked in mild surprised.
"Can't I visit you? You know I have missed you. You're always busy with the wedding, and other things... This is the only place I can see you." Adrian smiled. Enjoy new adventures from empire
"In school?!"
"It's Your Brother-In-Law's fault, He stopped everyone from seeing you two... Look at those five staring at me like I'm a stranger." Adrian said with a sad smile, staring at Borne and his brothers.
Ria chuckled with a smile, and shook her head. "You're putting everything on my Brother-In-Law? Can you say that in front of him?"
"Hmm... Mm... When did I say that?" Adrian moved his gaze around the place, even looking at the sky, and ground.
"Mira, You--"
Maria turned around, only to see Mira looking all over the school, from a student to another... She gestured to Adrian to wait, and slowly walked towards Mira.
"Mira!"
She exclaimed, holding Mira's shoulders from behind.
Mira jolted in surprise, and turned around to Maria.
"Who are you looking for? Or did someone caught your eyes?" Maria asked with a smile, moving her gaze all over the place.
"What? What are you saying Maria? I... I'm not looking for anyone." Mira said in a low voice.
"Hmm... I have a question, why are you guys wearing masks?" Adrian asked in mild confusion.
The two girls turned their heads towards him, before they could say anything.
"Ira! Ria!"
"Huh?"
The two turned around, seeing Carl and Jimmy, who was also their classmate, walking toward them.
"Ira? Ria? Are those your names?" Adrian was stunned.
"It's a long story." Maria said.
Before Carl could get close to the two, three men appeared In front of them, separating them from the girls.
"Stop!!"
Borne said sternly.
"Mr Borne, I want to see Mira and Maria."
"Mira and Maria?" Jimmy, who stood behind him was stunned frozen.
"Let them pass, Sir Borne." Mira said with a smile.
Borne nodded, and made way for the two friends. Carl nodded, and walked towards Mira.
"Who would have thought both of you are our classmates? You hid yourselves well." Carl said.
"That's for our safety and well... So we can have a normal school life... If we show ourselves, Everyone will be scared, Amaze, and all over us... That's not what we want... You understand?"
Carl stared at Mira for some seconds, and slowly nodded: "I understand, but..."
"No But... I was looking for you."
"For me?" Carl was surprised.
"Wait." Mira said, and walked towards the car.
Maria stepped back, and stood beside Adrian, then whispered:
"What do you think is going on here?"
"I don't know, I think Mira likes him."
"You think? I'd known Mira for a long time now, And I know she likes him... I think she was impressed on how he handle the matter last time."
"Last time? What last time?" Adrian was confused.
"We encountered some dead soldiers, some days ago, I can't remember the day, but it's longer than a week... We asked him to take off the heads of the dead soldiers, and he did, not even hesitating for a bit."
Adrian thought about Maria's word and slowly shook his:
"I don't think that's the reason, Mira had seen a lot of beheading, that won't impress her... I think it's something else."
Maria thought for some seconds, and nodded. "You're right."
Mira walked back, with an envelope, and handed it to Carl.
With confusion, Carl took the envelope, and slowly opened it... His eyes widened in surprised, bringing out an invitation card.
"This."
"I'm inviting you to my Brother's wedding, will you be there?" Mira asked with a smile.
"Will I be there? Of course! I won't miss it in the world!! Thank you so much!" He thanked gratefully.
"It's nothing, Oh! About your plan on getting stronger, and finding a teammate to help you, how is it going? Are you still searching for teammates?" Mira asked with a smile.
"Well..." Carl placed the invitation in the envelope, and looked up at her expecting gaze.
"Well... I already--"
"--I'm his teammate...!"
Jimmy quickly stepped forward, and wrapped his hand around Carl's neck. Mira's face fall, while Jimmy continued:
"...But... I'm a low rank holder, Bronze 3-stars actually... It will be good if you join us." He smiled.
Mira turned her head to Carl, who smiled lightly.
"He's right, We'll need an extra teammate."
"Hey what about two?" Maria asked.
"If she's going, I am also going." Adrian said with a smile.
"Wow, Dude. You asked for one, but you gained eight." Jimmy whispered.
"Eight?" Carl was confused.
"Yes, Mira, and Maria are coming, and there's no way, Borne and the other four won't follow behind... And If we're lucky, Supreme, or more core members will join... Your plan on joining The Conquerors might really be fulfilled."
Carl slowly nodded, staring at Mira with a smile.
RING!!!!!
A loud Alarm sounded all over the college, while the girls looked at one another, then at the boys.
"It's time for class, we'll get going now, see you two tomorrow... You can ask of me if you want to see the whole party in close view." Mira smiled.
The girls took their bags from Dick's hands, and walked towards the college entrance with smiles on their faces.
The boys fixed their gazes on them, as they walked away.
Mira looked over her shoulder, staring at Carl, she smiled, and looked away.
"Jimmy, Jimmy."
Jimmy turned to Carl, hearing his name: "What's it, Dude?"
"I think I'm in Love."
"Ahhh!!!" Jimmy's mouth dropped wide open.
"In Love, With... With Mira?!"
Carl slowly nodded.
"She... She's still 15, I hope you remember that.... Don't let her height and mature body deceive you."
"Who told you I love her because of her body?" Carl turned to his friend, a deep frown on his face.
"Just saying... But you should think on how to face Supreme."
"That won't be a problem."
"...."
Jimmy was stunned.
"You're right, Love is something you should fight for! So I'm with you." Adrian said with a smile, while Carl nodded.
Borne, and his brothers looked at one another, and slowly nodded their heads.
