22 To Surprise (2/2)
”Oh how I've missed youuu.”
She then noticed that Ryan, now smiling at the sight of her, had spilt his cereal.
**Time Slo-Mo** (1 Second)
Elektra jumped off Tedi, picked up all the cereal from the sofa and floor, then threw it in the bin. She then ran to the bathroom to wash her hands, ran to one of the kitchens to find a Dave box, and dashed back to Laboratory 2 to refill his bowl.
She then sat besides Ryan on the couch, wearing the widest smile in the world.
**End Slo-Mo**
”Here you go c:”
Ryan looked down in his hands to observe the new cereal then back up to Elektra, quickly understanding what had happened. He mirrored her smile.
”Oh, thank you :3”
As they conversed Xero and Gale entered the room, each holding a coffee in their hands (white mocha with 2 sugars and a caramel macchiato). Xero had not gotten over the surprising gaming session they had the previous night.
”Why didn't you tell me you played CoJ? We've been friends for years?”
Xero was mildy irritated, but made his best efforts to hide those feelings, as per usual.
”Because you'd be so annoying about it! Anyway.. I wouldn't wanna play ranked with you..”
”Aw come on.. I won't ruin your winrate I promise :)”
”My ranked winrate is 97%..”
...
”Okay what about normal games? They're more rela-”
”Also 97%”
Xero stopped in his tracks and stared right into Gale's eyes.
”I hate you.” he said quietly, before walking towards Aloe and Yami and joining them on Tedi.
Gale sighed.
”Ah that boy.. Amber is one lucky girl” she said to herself sarcastically.
She turned around to see Amber walking towards her, also holding a coffee (iced macchiato to be precise).
”Speaking of which..”
”Good morning Gale :3”
”How was your evening? Did you get any sleep” Gale said, before gesturing towards Xero and nudging Amber in her side.
”Shhhh. What about you though? I saw you go into Hikari's room..”
”Meh. We're close :)”
”Yes we are :) ” Hikari butted in, his head suddenly appearing between the two.
”Hikari, I thought we agreed that you wouldn't use your speed around me..”
”I didn't.. I snuck up on you guys hehe”
Amber was intrigued. ”Are you faster than Elektra?”
”Nope.” Gale said, quickly and confidently.
Hikari shrugged and walked off to the front of the room, much to the amusement of the girls.
”Man, why do the boys seem like they have to try and act cool all the time?”
”Nope, that's just Xero and his weird cool attitidue. Hikari genuinely doesn't care about that kinda stuff, which is kinda annoying..”
”Oh.. interesting.”
Amber and Gale joined the rest and sat on Tedi. Seemingly everyone ignored the few other sofas, but in all fairness Tedi was just too cute to ignore.
Alas, it was 10:00AM and they were all assembled in front of Hikari, as planned.
”Morning guys, hope you all slept well” he said before giving Amber and Xero a cheeky look, both of whom blushed at the remark.
”Anyway, let's begin.”
