Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Familiar Gaze
"Haven't you noticed anything?" Keke asked Keva.
'So that's why?' Keva thought.
"Keva? Keva?!"
"Huh? What?" Keva asked, her brows knitted in confusion.
"Are you even listening to us? What happened?"
"No... nothing. I need to use the restroom." Keva stood up and left.
"What's wrong with her? Since the past three weeks, she have been avoiding us. Especially, after that incident. Could it be she have noticed something or seen what she shouldn't have?" Keke was scared.
"And why are you scared? We did nothing wrong. I only taught that girl a lesson." Nevaeh humph. "As for why Rhema and Arya are close, is none of our business. Let's just focus on the game."
....
Rhema turned and glance at where Yuka and her friends were.
"When did she get a cat?"
Arya glance at them. "No idea. Could it be...."
Keep a close eye Yuka and Keva."
"Keva? You think she'll tell on us?"
Rhema smirked. "She won't dare. But just in case she's up to something."
"I will."
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Rhema glance on the phone and sees a name. "Ivy?"
She picks up. "Hello? Ivy?"
"So you're alive?" Ivy scoffs. "What happened to you? You don't call, text and pick our calls anymore."
Rhema furrowed her brows. "Our?"
"Rex and I. Do you know how worried we were. We thought something had happened to you, not until Neema told us you're alive and now friends with Arya. Like what the heck?! I thought you aren't a fan."
"Neema?"
"Your sister. What's wrong with you? Nora, your Assistant called too. She said, you weren't picking her calls."
"My Assistant? What does she want?" Rhema asked even though she doesn't know what Ivy was talking about and why she has an Assistant.
"For the movie. The shoot will start next month. You have to get re...."
"Wait!" Rhema chimed in. "What movie? What shoot?"
"YAH!!" Ivy yelled. "What's going on? What happened to your brain?"
Rhema hangs up. She glared at Arya. "You never told me she's also an actress?"
...
"Allegra, why is Rhema always with Arya? Aren't you two best friends?" Chaya asked.
Allegra sighed. "We are."
Yuka wasn't listening to them, rather she was communicating with Rhivy.
TELEPATHY
"Why do I feel a familiar gaze?"
"Familiar gaze? Could it be your brother?" Yuka's eyes widened. The only 'familiar gaze ' you've always talked about, is your brother. But I don't sense her presence."
"We're shapeshifters and can also hide our scent, but if you can't perceive his scent, that only means one thing."
"That witch is with him!" Yuka unconsciously pinched Rhivy.
"Ahh!! That hurts!!"
END OF TELEPATHY
Meow~ Meow~
Chaya and Allegra heard the cat. They looked at Yuka who was absent mindedly pinching the cat.
"Yah! Yuka!!" Allegra yelled.
"Yuka, you're hurting Rhivy." Chaya said.
"Huh? Oh sorry." She furrowed her brows. "I need to go use the restroom. Hold him." She gives Rhivy to Allegra and left.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know. Where is Kumir? Why haven't I seen him since yesterday?" Allegra asked.
"No idea. Maybe he is in the dorm."
Allegra sighed. "Is he even a student? I don't know his department or room."
Rhivy smuggled into Allegra's embrace when he heard them.
.....
RESTROOM
Neema came out of the restroom, she raised her head and sees Rhema. Surprisingly, Rhema didn't smile or talk to her but walked straight into the restroom. She raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't she see me?"
Neema turned back and walked into the restroom, waiting for her.
Three minutes later, Rhema came out of the toilet, she sees a girl who was glaring at her. Rhema rolled her eyes.
Neema was stunned. "Di... did she just..."
Rhema arrogantly walked to her. "Do I know you?"
"Huh?"
"I don't think we know each other, so why are you glaring at me? Do I owe you?" She smirked. "Just stay far from me if you don't wanna lose those pretty eyes." Rhema sneered walked out.
Neema stood imobile not understanding what just happened.
