Chapter 50
Rise of the Crusader
50 Girls night
âHey!!!!!â
âWhat is wrong with you, why did you turn it off?!!!â
Followed by that loud voice was the angry glare of two girls.
Becky, who had just turned off the television, shrugged her shoulder when she saw how Melinda and Elisa stared at her. It was as though the two of them wanted to rip her into pieces, but Becky didnât seem to care as she kept a straight face.
âThis is meant to be our girlâs night, all we have been doing the whole time is watching television. Iâm already quite bored, so letâs do something else.â Becky stated.
Melinda and Elisa glanced at one another before one of them said, âWhat do you mean by we have been watching television the whole time, didnât we finish playing games.â Melinda pointed at the monopoly board which was on the floor.
âTurn on the television, I just used all the points I had to subscribe to webflix this evening! And you know, this movie 735 day is one of the talked about movies right now.â
âIf I donât watch it now, Iâm going to be hearing about the spoilers, which is something I want to avoid. Better still, I want to be the one telling the spoilers. So, turn on the television!!!!!!!â Melinda yelled.
None of the words which were spoken by Melinda seemed to have any effect on Becky, and instead of turning off the television as Melinda wanted, Becky stood and even unplugged the television input from the socket.
.....
âBecky!!!!!!!!! How dare you!!!!!â
Melinda was about to launch herself at Becky when Beckyâs voice rang out. âElisa, what are you going to do about Raphael and Aliyah?â
Melinda abruptly paused, and then turned towards Elisa.
Elisa was on the chair knitting when she heard Becky. She, however, raised her head, staring at the two girls, and was about to speak when the door of the room was pushed open.
âWhat about Raphael?!!â
The three girls in the room immediately shifted their gazes towards the person who had just walked into the room. âOh, Itâs this person that Elisa is really into, but another girl is advancing towards him... It is kind of really complicated because Elisa hasnât told him about how she feels.â
âAnd, why are you just coming now!!!!â Becky said, âItâs almost eleven o clock, do all members of the tech division act this way, or is it just you, Aurora.â
Aurora flashed a light smile when she heard Becky, âI was a little busy, you know the rocket I have been working on, someone tampered with it. It was really annoying as we had to start from scratch.â
â...â
Seeing the expression on the three girls faces, Aurora raised an eyebrow, âAnyway, forget about it... So, who is this person that Elisa has a crush on, and what does he have to do with Raphael.â
As Aurora spoke, her mouth opened slightly, âWait, Raphael? is that the name of the person Elisa has a crush on?!â Aurora asked in a serious tone.
Becky and Melinda nodded their head when they heard Aurora, âYes, you know we have been telling Elisa to tell him how she feels about him all this while but she is shy about it. I also keep telling her that thereâs no way he would reject her.
âElisa is both attractive and beautiful... While her breasts might not be her strongest area, those buttocks are on another level.â Becky said, staring at Elisa, âThey bounce with each of her every movement, tell me who can possibly resist that.â
âBecky!!!!!!â
Elisa glared at Becky who kept on seizing her from head to toe. And even though they had pretty much seen each other naked numerous times, Elisa couldnât help but get the feeling that Becky wanted to strip her down.
âCome on, donât act like you donât know you have large buttocks, everyone is always looking at them whenever you walk by.â
âMelinda, is she really joking, or does she not know,â Becky said.
âHahahahahah!!!! Iâm sure she knows Becky.â
âCan the both of keeping shut,â Suddenly, Auroraâs voice rang out. âThere are two Raphael in the academy, one in the norms division, and the other in the elite division. Which one are you talking about?!â
âThe one in the elite division, of course,â Becky responded, âWhat could possibly make you think that we are talking about the one in the norms division!!!â
As Becky rolled her eyes at Aurora, Melinda shook her head and a very much offended expression could be seen on her face.
Aurora, however, shifted her gaze away from the two of them, and then leaped towards Elisa, âElisa, no, no, no, no, thereâs no way you can have a crush or even try to tell him how you feel about him.â
â...â
There was a bewildered expression on Elisaâs face when she heard Aurora.
âTrust me that Raphael is not worth it!!!! He is nothing but a proud, ignorant, self-centered, narcissist person.â Aurora exclaimed.
âWhat do you mean?! Have the both of you met before,â Melinda asked.
Aurora nodded her head and then began to recount the details of what happened between her and Raphael. She started from scratch, and only excluded that other identity about him which she figured out.
As for the rest of it, Aurora informed the girls about everything that occurred.
âSo you see, why I say you canât be with someone like that,â Aurora exclaimed.
âWheeew... Thatâs quite some story you have right there, Aurora,â Melinda said, âBut, Raphael doesnât behave like that. He seems even friendly.â
âYes, Aurora, he even saved both I and Aliyah in the mansion. If he was self-centered, he could have let us be buried in acid, but he didnât. As for his proud nature, I canât really say much about that.
âBut even if he is proud, he actually is entitled to be that way.â Becky said, and seeing how Melinda, Aurora, and Elisa were staring at her, her lips curved slightly, âI mean, he is very handsome, powerful, his powers are extraordinary and to top that off, he is also a tech genius.â
âIt would be weird if he doesnât have an arrogant side in him.â
Auroraâs eyes twitched when she heard Becky, âY-You...â Aurora stuttered, âElisa, you listen to me, Raphael isnât a good person!!!! You deserve someone better than that snobbish dude.â Aurora stated.
Elisa stared at Aurora, for a few seconds before moving her gaze towards Melinda and Becky, âWhat do the both of you think?â Elisa asked, âRaphael actually doesnât seem like that sort of person, but it might probably be because Iâm into him, so Iâm unable to see all that.â
âHmmm, what do you think about him?!â Elisa repeated her early question.
âYou like him, donât you? So, go for it,â Becky replied straight away, âI was with him in the mansion, the whole time, and I couldnât find any complaint about him.â
âAnd to be sincere, the only reason I think Aurora dislikes him is that Raphael won some award before her. You know those dumbos in the tech division are no match for her, but Raphael is.â Becky said.
âNo, thereâs no way that jerk is better than me!!â A second after, and Auroraâs voice rang out.
âI didnât say he is better, I only said you see him as a threat to your number one throne.â
âThe two of you should keep shut!!!!!!!!â Melindaâs loud voice reverberated the whole room.
As Aurora and Becky became quiet, Melinda stared at Elisa, âDonât mind the two of them Elisa, it all goes down to what you want. None of us is close with Raphael, so we really donât know much about him.â
âItâs down to you like I said, you can either take more time to get to know him, or you can tell him about your feelings. There are of course advantages and disadvantages to it.â Melinda said.
Elisa heaved a deep breath, âI still donât know if he even likes me... What if he says no!â
âWho are you kidding? With an ass like that, thereâs no way he wouldnât like you. And even if he doesnât, that would mean that he is either into guys, or he is simply an idiot.â Becky declared.
Melinda shook her head, âYou canât know if you donât try,â
âAfter everything I have told you, I canât believe youâre still thinking of confessing how you feel to him,â Aurora paused, âWhat is wrong with you?!â
âIsnât that because youâre only putting your own feelings into consideration and not Elisaâs feelings,â Becky said with a sneer on her face.
âShhh!!!â Aurora gave Becky the finger, âOh yes, I remember. What about this, I saw a couple of women in Raphaelâs room the other day. They were all yelling at him, calling him all sorts of names.â
âOne of them included pervert, Yess!!! Now, do you think Iâm only putting my feelings into consideration? Not only is he proud, and self-centered, he is also a pervert.â
When Elisa, Melinda, and Becky heard Aurora, a perplexed expression couldnât help but appear on their faces. The three of them glanced at one another, before then staring at Aurora.
âAurora?â
âYes,â
âWhat were you doing in Raphaelâs room in the first place.â
âI... I...â Aurora stammered, and her eyes twitched when she saw how the three of them were staring at her. âT... Thatâs not the main point, what matters is what those girls were saying.â Aurora said.
âNope! What were you doing in the room, Aurora?!â Melinda asked, folding her hands across her chest.
As Aurora stared at the three of them, she heaved a deep breath, âItâs not what you think, I went there to confront him about something,â Aurora said and seeing the expression on their faces, she shook her head.
âFine, Elisa tell him about how you feel... But whatever happens, Iâm going to be here to tell you that I told you so.â
âDurrrhhh!â Becky exclaimed.
âSo Elisa, what are you going to do about Raphael and Aliyah, especially now that they will be having a private session with Edgar?!â
Elisa, however, shrugged her shoulder, âNothing! Even if we are to end up together, I canât always be with him all the time.â Elisa said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs talk about something else, this is meant to be girlâs night, not talking about Raphaelâs night.â It was Aurora that spoke.
âWhat movies were you all watching?â Aurora asked as Melinda went to turn on the television.
â765 days.â
âReally?â There was excitement written all over Auroraâs face, âI have been dying to watch that movie, you know after watching part one where the woman was kidnapped, I just couldnât wait for more.â
