The main campus of Amaryllis was situated in the countryside of F city, for the vast area it acquired. Other than the agricultural fields on either side of the highway that connects their University city to A city—everything was very developed. Another reason being the University City. The area surrounding the College generally tends to be quite developed regardless.
After Roy and his grandparents shed some tears, the surroundings became lighter and happier.
Roy felt shaken to his core. What just happened?Avoiding Bonnie's stare from the driver's seat, Roy blinked a couple of times to make sure if he was hallucinating or not. But the outcome steeled his limbs.
Roy gingerly exited the car, bidding goodbye to Bonnie.Evening was ascending down rapidly—sky bathed in fiery shades of orange, yellow and melting blue. A flock of white birds flew past Roy's head. Shaking off the drowsiness catching him, Roy went up the stairs to the fourth floor, keyed the door open with weighing shoulders."Vhloo!!" Roy was greeted by a half naked—unruly Ken, whose words just now got jumbled up due to toothpaste foam in his mouth.Roy dodged Ken's arms and knocked over his shoes, waddling to the couch—and dropping on it both physically and mentally exhausted for the day. He may need to catch a three-four hour sleep before going to EDEN fo
Roy didn't like the way, the curvaceous brunette girl prompted him. Her strong perfume felt nauseous. Rather than calling it disgusting, it felt suffocating.The orange-yellowish lights above the bar counter, alighted the girl's appearance. Her little round face wasn't caked with makeup and she can be called a beauty—looks-wise.&
Roy energetically left EDEN—completing his shift.The temperature had significantly dropped since evening and one can feel that winter is coming. Cold air bristled past Roy and he hugged himself, sneezing lightly.
Ken cried out appally to Roy bustling around the apartment, early in the morning—the day of the reference study.The sound of shower lasted for an whole hour and then simultaneously Roy spent another half, shuffling through his clothes.
The reflection of Roy glimmered back from Jeremy's watery crystal eyes, profoundly.Jeremy's eyes pulled in Roy's attention like a magnet attracting the Iron.
The best feeling in the world—is always said to come accidentally. It just comes and overwhelms you and then leaves like it never happened.That's what happens when Jeremy turns to face Roy.
Everyone's story had come to a more or less acceptable ending, except for Sasha Dahl. Sasha didn't stay with them for the celebration party after the award ceremony. She sneaked away when none was paying attention. 'I'm dating Jun, Sasha. The one we met on La Forde. I want you to meet him properly this time. Will you?" Her face had ashened and the throbbing of her heart intensified. She had guessed but the truth was more hurtful then she imagined. Winter has slowly passed and the temperature gradually rose. Sasha walked down the empty street, sounds of night traffic fading to a far distant place behind her. Memories of Sasha first meeting Kovit resurfaced and a trickle of tears slid down her cheeks. The soft whimpers soon turned into undisguised wails. Full of pain. Sasha grabbed the cloth near her chest and heaved. Her lips red from constant biting and hair disheveled. How ironic of a heartbreak this was. Sasha had always known that Kovit never understood or responded to he
Who would've thought that Ken would be noticed by the representative of a pro team today, after the game?By the time Monroe reached the players locker room, Ken had peacefully showered, dressed in another pair of Jersey, waiting for the award ceremony.As soon as a newcomer opened the door to their team's locker room, Monroe dashed inside, jumping in Ken's arms, hugging him tightly. Her arms encircled Ken's neck and brought down the happy player to meet her lips with his in a soft kiss.Sasha too followed Monroe inside and pleasantly congratulated Kovit, hugging the strict player sideways.The rest of the members, in other words, the single dogs lamented at their Vice Captain and star player's luck. They both have extremely gorgeous female partners that made others feel envious.Roy and Jeremy simply stood at the door, looking from outside. The locker room had very less space left with the changing bags and getting in will only clog the left space.Ken eagerly returned the kiss from M
The fourth set began and the T team knew this was their last chance to counter and steal away the game. Ken knew the T team would become more difficult to trap this set so finally bought out their hidden card, Kovit. Kovit had a meager appearance in the game till now only doing the necessary but when unleashed fully, Kovit could rule the court like a demon.And it was Ken's job to bring out that demon from Kovit. Ken picked Volleyball and looked at Kovit, who stood broad in the court.With Ken teaming up with Kovit, the T team finally realised that Amaryllis had a boundless demon attacker too. Kovit didn't miss or refuse any of Ken's sets. All brutally landed on the T team's court area, sparking points one by one continuously.The T team, who were proud of their power immediately sported pale faces and baffled expression. What's that power? That demon energy that froze the limbs of the T team blockers?Kovit didn't smile after scoring eight points in a row. His expression was chilly,
The game was ferocious. T University has been bashing the Volleyball with explosive power from the absolute start.Amaryllis could barely counter except for the blocks where Kovit heavily touched the ball stopping it's momentum. Also it was Kovit only who could break through T University's wall with his raw skills. Ken, as a setter, was frustrated with how his offense planning got repeatedly tampered and his sets getting ruthlessly blocked.The first set was already won by T University, which rather bought fear in Amaryllis' eyes. Before they really didn't expect that the T University team would breeze through the Set.Coach Yves understood the gradual changes in the team and called for a timeout to change the strategy they were adopting so far. Yves was the kind of coach who usually the players make decisions and handle the situations. It supposedly improves the overall mechanism but now that the players were given a taste of fear, Yves knew he had to jump in.The players of Amarylli
Roy had the most memorable New Year in Jeremy's house. By the time he came, Sasha was deep in sleep, leaving him and Jeremy alone.Well none of Jeremy's clothes were okay for Roy to wear but even if they were like second skin to him, Roy wore them with a happy expression.The whole night they talked and cuddled in Jeremy's bed, sometimes kissing and sometimes playing with each other's fingers. To Roy this was the most happiest thing he ever did. Jeremy really does fill the absence from Roy's life.Just like that days passed, everyone spent their time at their own business. Soon the second week of January arrived and the bracket for Winter Cup was announced. There were many mat
Ken's training camp came to an end on 29th of December—just before the year's end. Even if he looked haggard after the hellish training session, Ken's body seemed visibly more agile and toned.Monroe touched the bulge of Ken's muscles in his biceps and squeezed, as if trying to measure the muscle.
The end of winter vacation also meant the upcoming new year.Nobody was preparing for this occasion except the Blanche family. It was on the new year that Alexander decided to have the banquet to introduce his heir.
Monroe calmly filled the pamphlet application and went towards the submission counter. Some people from the crowd gave her envious looks, probably thinking that she had some exterior connections.Submitting the application form, Monroe took off from the crowded place with the envious gazes directed behind her.
Roy recovered faster then even the doctor had predicted.And when Roy and Jeremy came out after spending their personal time, the news about the Winter Cup had them shaken. From the swollen eye crevices of Ken to Monroe's blackish face, it didn't take Roy long to understand what had happened.
