The man had pointed his gun up and pulled the trigger, sending both warning signals and alerting god-knew-who, then he brought it back to Nathan. "You have two minutes before all the security inside is on you. Leave n--"Nathan elbowed his hand, without letting him finish. He was fed up with the annoying guards. At the same time he deflected a blow from him and channeled a punch in his face, sending him staggering backwards. The other tall black man dashed towards him, gritting his teeth and cursing. Maybe he'd would handle him the same way he handled Arthur, but a jab to his ribcage made him think twice. The man came for him again, blow upon blow that Nathan deflected with swift darts of his hands, counter punches and blocks. Then Nathan made a double-hop on a large sill closest to him and spun, kicking the man head first into the large stone pillar and then the floor. Then there were loud noises from inside, hurried footsteps, a lot of them. Nathan sighed. He didn't sign up

"I doubt your Dad would smile to that." He said. "Well, this is College and my dad ain't here." She pursed her lips. "Just avoid me, that's all. If you must guard me, then do it from a mile away . And don't ever let anyone find out the real reason you're here."Wow. He felt more like a servant, than he was a bodyguard. A rejected servant. "Yes Rose" He said coldly. She eyed him. "It's Rosetta ""Pls, enlighten me on the difference?" He gestured with an open palm. She shook her head and walked away. She wasn't the least bit boring, but she was going to be a pain in his ass alright. He went through the books on the shelf, examining the thick covers in search of one to distract himself with. If she was still in the library, he had no place else to go. .............Back at the auditorium, Nathan climbed the steep stairs, his eyes roving for an empty chair. The hall was almost filled, and the History lecturer was in class. He'd waited for Rose to get back to class, before followin

"That was weird." Dark-blonde said. "I think she might have gotten uncomfortable with you " Nathan said absentmindedly, and going back to his unfinished burger. She raised a brow. " I dare to think....look"Nathan raised his head. The girl had dropped her tray and walked towards a tall guy---waiting impatiently at the door with his back turned to them---with red hair just like hers. "Oh. Guess that's her brother" He said. "I know " She replied. He looked at her. "How do you know?" "It's a long story. One I'll tell at the right time" She said. There was a brief silence. "I don't know your name though?" He said. "Letha... Letha Bates" She said. "You? Oh don't tell me, I already know. You're Nathan" She smirked, revealing sparkling white teeth. Nathan took her in then. If the red-haired lady had a pleasing body, then Letha had bedazzling shape, curves, a body to die for. Like Rose. Like Rose? What was his business with the spoilt prat. He shook himself out of his thoughts and

"For?...oh, of course not " Her leaving the way she did wasn't part of his concerns really. Though he had questions. His thoughts and concerns were more in the form of: 'who the hell was Cayden? and was he part of the people Mr. Swack instructed him to protect her from?'"You had your reasons" He continued. "I know. But I needed to apologize for the way I left, I should have given you a heads up "He chuckled. "I think you did, you informed me before hand remember?"She gave a weak smile. "I guess.... So what you up to?...are you free later?" Before Nathan could respond, a big brown ball landed on his head and bounced off and the girl giggled. "Oops, my bad" Drew bounded towards them, a tall guy with chestnut skin and curly black hair, on yellow Lakers was with him, and he got back the ball, bouncing it in his hands. gods. Drew. "Oopsie--doosie," Drew said. He wore a checkered red shirt with the sleeves rolled up, on a white vest and black jeans. "And who's this hot auburn babe

The next day at school, Cayden and his guys sat on one of the rows of chairs in the class auditorium, oblivious to the lesson currently ongoing. One of them, Alex, the black haired guy, was rambling on to Cayden incessantly while Cayden’s eyes never left Nathan. When Alex saw he wasn't listening to him, he followed his gaze. “Dude are you just going to let him walk away?”He asked, realizing the conversation Cayden would be interested in.“No. I’m not, I’m simply bidding my time.” Cayden looked irritated. The boy scoffed. “We've never had to hesitate this long to deal with somebody, and the offences then were even trivial…compared to what he has done.”“Maybe Cayden has lost his balls” The other guy with brown hair, Pedro, laughed. He sat on the other side, of Cayden .Cayden banged his desk so hard that he startled the other students around them. Nathan turned as well and shook his head. Those trio couldn’t just do with drawing attention to themselves. The lecturer had taken not
