My Triling System

Chapter 16: Chapter Sixteen: Lexa’s question

Dan noticed that Kevin was standing behind, wondering what was happening and he had went to approach him.

“Lexa used to be our childhood friend in Elfae (Elf fairy) elementary school but when we started our high school, we parted from each other and since then we haven’t seen each other until now. We even didn’t know she was royalty, she treats us as her brother and in the time when we are hungry she gives us out of her own food. We are indebted to her.” Dan explained but Lexa who was already sitting with the two elves by her side had smiled and started talking.

“Who’s indebted to who, don’t embarrass me Dan.” Lexa smiled again and Dan had momentarily smiled back.

“It’s a good thing you’re staying with us, we’ll get to see each other more often. And we’ll be able to chat as much as we want.” Reed said.

“Yes, I’m happy I was placed in your dorm room. I really didn’t know you will be attending this school because of your situation, you know.”

“Hmm, yeah. We obviously were trying our best to attend the school, but it wasn’t enough. We wouldn’t have been here if it hadn’t been for this guy. He gave each of us three emerald gemstones out of his own pocket and said just as long as we take him to the academy with him, he’ll give us for free. Isn’t that crazy, we’re indebted to him also. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been here.”

Kevin jerked Dan on the stomach for flaunting him in public.

.....

“You shouldn’t have said that, what’s giving you free gemstones had to do with being indebted.” Kevin chuckled.

Lexa glanced at Kevin with a smile. The smile was so beautiful that it had made Kevin to instantly smile back at her.

‘ shit! Why am I smiling at her? Stop Kevin, stop.’ Kevin tried to act normal.

“Come on, you guys should introduce each other.”

“I’m Kevin, It’s a wonderful privilege to meet you.” Kevin said as he stretched his hands for an handshake.

Lexa instantly took his hands and after a few swings of their hands, they let go. “It’s nice meeting you too. Wait, you look quite familiar, have we met before? Or perhaps, do you know me?” Lexa asked.

Kevin flinched a bit but as he thought about it, he knew no one else knows him apart from his father and his disciples. He wasn’t allowed to step out of the forest so no one could ever say they knew him somewhere.

“I’m afraid not, I don’t think we’ve met anywhere and sorry to say this, I don’t think I know you anywhere.” Kevin replied politely.

“Ohh, is that so. You look just like the elven queen. Her eyes, her nose, even the colour of her hair, you look a lot familiar.” Lexa said again, noticing his actions and words.

“Errrr, I don’t think I look like her. You must have been mistaken. Unfortunately, I don’t have a mother. She died when I was a baby.” Kevin replied feeling a bit nauseous.

“And your father?” Lexa asked again, making Kevin to feel agitated to answer her question. He was getting weary of all the questions and him being the introvert type was finding it difficult to talk. He had to process the question in his mind before giving out the reply. Dan and the other elves were also getting tired of Lexa’s question but they couldn’t talk because of how important she is.

“My father is an Hunter, he’s probably in the forest hunting.” Kevin smirked after successfully coming up with a catchy lie.

“Oh, I see... but how did you get that Pendant on your neck?”

Dan had had enough, he had summoned the boldness in him and had immediately spoke after Lexa asked the question.

“Lexa, how about we walk around the school this evening. Me and you could chat along as we go, or what do you think?” Dan asked, jerking Kevin from the front. He was standing in front of Kevin and his arms were jerking Kevin. It was a signal for Kevin to leave.

Kevin had hurriedly left even before Lexa could give her reply. He was actually going somewhere before he met the boy that was being bullied, so heading back there is not too late for him.
