Chapter 1 Part 3

After our first class together, and our reunion in over a month. Our group named, 'The order of the goons' the name I came up with for our team name after I took control of our group chat and left it as that's name. But the goons wasn't meant to less that long, me and liz gotten the same class while Nix had to his own special class. Seeing there wasn't any argument about giving me dictation, she gladly showed da way, and not wanting to be late we both started heading towards class with the others who also were heading towards class.

When we were walking to the class, we made little talking about things like actually friends, not me being a sadistic or trying to get her mad but just genuinely enjoying our time, till we were at our classroom door and she came to a stop just before we gotten in, "Hm." I smiled "We doing our usual routine?" I tried to look into the classroom even though the window were color pain glass instead of actually normal glass you could look through, "Yes, I don't need to willing force myself to be your friend since Nix isn't here." she sighed probably having enough with my antics by now, even though we just reunited just a hour ago, "Hm, welp cya you again once we see Nix again." I laughed and when inside first before her. Then after like a minute she came into the classroom and left to her desk far away from my.

"Alrighty class, today I thought we just get to know each others and speak to each others about your past experiences, because knowing each others background and experiences is key to not repeating history." the teacher then started looking around seeing how many people they were in this class to make this work, "Well considering that's were little in numbers in this class, I think it'll work well." he nod and was going back to his desk, "Bid- Wait, Mr. Eir!" one of the 'noble' class student said "I don't understand how this will help us with our history study." she kept going on "Well Miss?" now he trying to make her a actually character, by trying to get her name "Greylin Knox." she told him now showing her Scottish accent and now him giving her the spot light "I dinn-" she stopped herself and continued "I don't understand how the need for this 'mingling' when we could be working about actually history." she sounded pretty okay in most parts, but I couldn't really understand her much with that's thicc accent, "Well Miss. Greylin, I bet everyone here didn't know you were Scottish tell you started talking." he said "And this is why I'm putting this social experiment for today. Just by speech we could identify others background, history and culture just by them speaking. And a book could only take you so far in study, while speaking to one another can give you a better understanding them and their history." he sounded like a actually teacher, but it's mostly was overlooked because his choice of clothes spoke a different story.

After he was done explaining his reason for his plans instead of just giving a vague answer like anyone else. But thanks to his plans, everyone started getting up from their desk and started mingling with each other, it was uncomfortable with the regular students at first, but for the 'noble' they were at home. They were the first one to started talking, and they talked like they done this a hundred times already, they flocked to others who shared their backgrounds, exchanging their power and gloating about their connections.

Looking at this gathering. Just made me annoyed. 'Do they enjoy this?' I started looking over at a big gathering over by the water cooler, 'Are they pretending that's a punch or something?' confused by their actions and how they when from regular looking students, to people who came to a fancy meet and greet. And taking aback to this, as well as the others common folks in this class. But they were only one person who actually when to the others and greeted them like nothing.

"Hey, well met. Name Elizabeth Gabriell." said liz looking confident as always, now this shocked mostly all the common students as well as some 'noble' students at her actions, but not me. I knew if anyone gonna be talking to the 'nobles' like nothing, even with the social border wall up from them. She was the one who were gonna break them, "Hmm, Hello Miss. Gabriell." said one of the minor characters in there "Hmm, I don't like formality, too strict and no fun. How's about you call me lizzy cutie." she winked at her, taken aback with this sudden situation and probably swoon by her words, she started blushing in front of the gathering. With liz's confidence and charisma it was like she wasn't even a sticking out from them, and now looking back at the others common folks who been too shy or nervous about it, were now trying to follow liz's advice about not caring if she wasn't in their league, she just talked, and now seeing all of them getting up and heading off to the gathering or just making a small gather for themselves, annoyed of this social gathering and not wanting any of it, I decided to take a well deserved rest, still feeling tired of the experience I had today and still going.

"Hey! Wake up you arsehole." shouted a person with a British accent "Fuck off." I told the unknown person who probably wanted to socialize with me, but simply not caring about him and trying to rest, I given him a slightly of hints that's I'm not interested in socialize, "Hmm, is someone tyred and forgot about how he disrespected me earlier?" he said now slamming his hand down on my desk, " Time to own up." now creating a scene getting people attention.

I gotten up with a big smile on my face "Well now. I didn't think this puppy would show up quickly." I was pretty shocked myself that's the person I dis early was British as well, I probably zoned him out that's much for myself if I didn't hear his accent. "Why you." he was still surprised at my actions "Hmm? Did the puppy came for second? I didn't know he was a glutton for my insults." I kept up the verb assault, "Do you even know who I'm?!" he now shouting "I'm Oliver Hunter! The proud heir of the Hux's Corp!" Mostly all the people were shocked about his outburst, probably knowing his name or just disgusted by his outburst.

I was about to roast him again, till a person who stepped in. "Alright, that's enough." I was expecting the teacher to break it's up, but what's respectable teacher listens to the cries of students? "Oh! Isn't this hilarious?! Greylin Knox. Daughter to that's crazy historian! I'm not surprised that's failure are attractive to you!" he pointed at me while he kept on yelling, I was surprised that's the teacher wasn't coming, but to only look at his desk seeing him dead drunk asleep, none probably known he was drunk, but thank to my experience with drunks in my life, I seen right through him. She was about to say something probably gonna calm both of us down with that's look of her, but I wanted to make him suffer a bit for ruining my sleep, so I cut her off "Hmm, if failures did attract to me, then why did you come first then?" I then started walking up to him "Are you implying that the heir to Hux's Corp admit that's he is a failure and can only hide behind a name?" he was taken aback from my words and seeing how I'm on a roll I kept the vibe abuse going "Tell me oh great heir, with such a great name behind you. You just feel as though you are above any person here because of it." I had a serious tone while coming closer to him and then put my hand on his shoulder "To others they just suck up to you and look at fat king who easily pleases, but to my eyes. I only see a tiny puppy braking behind his master." I pushed him away with the hand on his shoulder, surprisingly he felled down by that. I was expecting him to get more angry or at least fight, but he just stayed there a daze.

Seeing there's no point in this anymore I simply walked back to my desk like nothing ever happened, and since I left and him now going back to his desk as well, the group that was entertain now left as well, going back to mingling with each others. Thinking everything was right with the world and after triumphantly defeating my opponent quickly rather then having to fight him three episodes, or something. I when back to my desk and get some well deserved rest, to only feel someone near me again..

"Awright mah freish best mukker." I heard her proclaiming something while standing in front of me, confused by her thicc accent and wondering what she said to me. I had this a big brain moment on how to handle this situation, "Huh?" I question her "Ohh, sorry. I got excited and when full on Scottish there." she still had her thicc accent, but I can understand her a little. She pulled up a chair from out of nowhere and sat at my desk. "Ohh, I'm just gonna skip this experiment and gets some sleep. Soooooo, could you maybe go over there?" I kindly suggest to her, but nope! She just kindly sits there till I gaven up and social with her.

We talked throughout the whole class, and I was surprised at myself at how I didn't just walked away once she started going full Scottish on me throughout the conversation, she started off with something I understood and we talked, but after while she when back to her thicc accent. And I kept amazing myself with my patient and conscious to let her go on about something I don't understand.

"So what happened to your hands?" she question and had a worried looked once she gotten a better look, at first I was in tears, because my actually friends didn't even care to ask what's wrong with my hands, and she actually looked concern for me. When I told them what happened, they laughed at me and how I easily gotten beaten and how I mess up my hands over it, but for her to be cornered for my health, I felt something in my cool hard heart 'there's nothing more powerful then a wholesome person being wholesome to you' I was blinded by her kindness and wholesomeness. But not wanting her to worry about something that's wasn't important, I quickly made up a lie saying I fell down pretty hard on my hands, and thankfully she bought it.

After her worries were gone after I told her it was gonna be okay, she quickly when back to her story " 'N' ah wis lik', 'no ah loue him, tak' me instead' pure weird dream richt?" she happily chirped, "Hmm, I only knew bit of what you said, but okay." I tried to decipher her accent as good as I could, but still lacking the ability to, "Ohh, I'm sorry. When I get nervous and shy I start to gang stowed oot scots." she twhittled her fingers together.

"Okay, I didn't understood the last part at all." I was confused at the last part for it's was too complex to understand "See, I get shy and I lost my tongue and people are too confused by my accent." she sighed.

"Hmm? Well I can't do anything about that's, and since you're too shy and nervous to talk with others, I guess you're stuck with me, or me stuck with you." I laughed a bit sad I'm stuck with her for the time being.

After my comment, she was shy and blushing nervously. But thankfully she was less nervous around me and started talking okay-ish. Theirs were times when she when full Scottish, but that's alright, she stopped and repeat herself so I could understood. It's was actually a great time, a bit sad that's I couldn't take a well deserved rest, but I could take one during lunch.

Speaking of lunch, we were having such a great time talking that's the bell ringed faster then I expected, "Uhh..." she sounded very disappointed that's class was over, "Hmm, well thanks for the fast forward skip lin." I given her a great nickname that's was so original that's nobody expected at all, "I hope we meet again. Maybe?" I wasn't too sure we meet again, but I didn't really care that's much and left my desk and started heading towards liz.

"Ehh, liz." I bad boy snapped my fingers towards her, "Since class over, and I don't know where the cafeteria is, and I know Nix is going to be looking for the both of us, why don't you show me da way?" I put a very convincing point, while still getting a freebie direction and maybe a chance to get a rematch?

"Uhh..Fine, but on the condition you don't talk the rest of the way, kay?" she put a mighty fine price on the line, dragging this story longer and trying to find it on my own, or for my complete silence the whole walk. 'Longer story, or just a skip?' I thought on that's, both were kinda awful and lazy.

But not wanting to makes this longing, "Fine, and considering I'm a very nice person." she scoffed "When we are their, I'll leave both you and Nix while I doing my own thing." she was surprised at this offer.

"Okay what do you want now?" she was skeptical at my offer "What? I feel bad at my attitude before and almost got both of us in trouble with my tongue." I admit "Are you done acting now?" she looked unsurprised

"Hah, for someone who keeps telling me we aren't friends, you surprisingly know me well." surprised she caught on quickly "Grey, we basically been doing this since we met, of course I know when your acting by now." she sighed remember our history "Hmm, maybe someone being a tsundere about our friendship." I laughed at how she basically knew me by now.

"But still, I'm going take a rest and you guys can have your time. I'm too tired to keep a conversation with the both of you." I yawned, rubbing my knocked while still feeling the aching pain. "Hmm, well I was hoping to laugh at you more for the embarrassing story about how you basically beaten yourself up with my bestie, but spending time is more important." she smiled.

While that's was done and now she showing da way again to the cafeteria, I had this feeling we were being watched the whole way their.

After a quick walk to the cafeteria and seeing a medium sized of students, I was shocked at how few there were compared at my last school, "God, this virus isn't letting up huh." she said moving by the students, "Yeah, remember how many kids there were back then? Well till that's 'event' happened." I was following behind her when we made our way across the cafeteria.

Decided that's we should grab food first then find Nix second. We were in line waiting for the long line to move a bit during that's time we spent waiting, but it's seem that's this line would have been too long of a line to bear of boredom, I tried to make some conversation "Sooo, line yeah?" I questioned blankley staring somewhere in the cafeteria "Yeah." she replied as well with the same boredom I felt. "Aye, waiting in line sooks." someone familiar said behind my shoulder.

"Hmm." me and liz said at the same time agreeing with whomever said that's, "So liz, seen anyone who catches your eye during that's mingling." I said "Hmm, nope." she replied again "Is yer mukker thinking aboot getting a kinship 'ere?" that's same voice came again but now on my left shoulder.

"Nah, I been too busy with everything, and letting Grey know would just be sad for him." she replied to the voice "Hmm, how do you understand what it said?" confused at how she knew a bit before I had to learn the hard way "Hmm, I been watching some movies around Scotland." she answer "Hmm, well that's convenient. Anymore bomb shockingly things you did during the outbreak? New skills or learnt anything during our break?" I question her, "Only worked, quick workouts, and watch movies." she replied "Hmm, same." I kept on looking if the line got any shorter since we came here.

"Urr ye pure gonnae dingy me even though a'm richt 'ere!?" the voice finally came out from behind me, and now all pouty for me ignoring her "Ohh-" I got cut off "Ohh my! Are you the cutest thing!" but liz starting to fawning about lin, liz then started smothering her with her height different between them, lin was taller then any regular girls, while still being shorter then me around maybe 3' foot, and considering that's me and liz are basically the same height, anyone who were shorter then liz were considered cute.

"Hmm? Lin? I didn't know you were here, you waiting for the line as well?" I now look to a smol person being crushed by a amazon "A-aye, nea lik' ah follaed." she was still crushed by her, "Hmm, I still don't understand." I just smiled at what every she said.

"Oh, I could translate." Liz kept crushing her "She said 'yeah not like-" she didn't finished because lin broke free from her grip and tried to cover up her mouth "Stoap!" she tried blocking her voice.

After her arrival, we finally gotten in front of the line. Tired and hungry, I quickly picked out any food that's looked appealing to me. Finally free from this long side story about getting food, we quickly found Nix near the long line. Finally getting the three goons back to together, I quickly put my food there and feeling the if the table will do for sleeping. I felt that's it was a okay table to sleep for, I put my head down and laid to rest till, "Urr ye pure gonnae lea me 'ere?"

I remembered my clingy friend was still here. "Hmm." I kept my head down too tired to care, "Phoenix, Greylin. Greylin, Phoenix." I waved my hand at Nix I think, "Elizabeth, Greylin. Greylin, Elizabeth." I waved randomly again thinking I got it right because there weren't any sas afterwards "My friends are your friends so that's be fine" I gotten comfy again in that's right spot.

'Wake up'

"Grey! The heck you actually slept through lunch? Come on! Wake up." I felt someone pushing my shoulder trying to gently wake me up. Till that's person had enough and I felt a sharp pain on my side, "Come on." I flinch up from the pain, "The heck wrong with you?!" I semi shouted still recovering from the stab, "Oh calm down." liz said "I only poked you on your side is all." she said getting up from her spot.

"Yeah well, you're so masculine, even your fingers are!" I rubbed my new found pain, "Ohh calm down, anyways, since your class is down the hallway to my class is. And considering you don't know where you're going, you'll hitch a ride with me." she said moving to the hallway.

We moved quick fast through the hallway, "So where did Nix and lin when to?" wondering where they when, "Oh, Nix classmates needed him for something with the office. Something when wrong with something electric, I don't know." she kept moving quick "And Lin, after Nix left, I don't know why she didn't stick around after Nix left? Maybe because you were a sleep? Or-" "You basically smother her when you met her. So I get why she left when Nix left." I was amused by her lack of awareness why she couldn't figure out something simple.

"So I'm just gonna ask. Why did you make friends with that's lonely person? And how do you gain from it?" she stopped in her tracks and now staring me down "Heh, is your image of me that's low?" I smiled at her "Cut the bull crap, I know for a fact that you aren't that's patient with her when she talk and how clingy she is. So the only reason you aren't shooing her away is because you have something to gain from her." she looked hella pissed, "Huh, I guess I'll let you on a secret then." I sighed knowing I couldn't keep it from liz of all people.

I told her about Nicole, and how I made a partnership with her. "Are you a simp now?" she looked in disgusted by me "Huh?"

"I mean, I know you're a lot of things and stuff, but being a simp is something I'm caught off by. Considering you aren't great with girls with your whole gender equality thing you keep saying for making it's right for punching them."

"What's the heck!? Me and you have the same goals for gender equality. If some girls or guys deserve to be dropped kicked by my hands then I won't hesitate to do so, not my fault if they deserve it."

"But there's a difference between you and me, you may now be a simp. But I'm the pimp here with my charisma."

She smugly said placing her hand on her chest, I literally cringed at her for calling herself a 'pimp' with no hint of discouragement at what she said.

"But, hmm." she said now stomp "Why did you submit to her? I mean the offer is good, protection for your hand. You usual tell people who tried to use you 'Fuck off' from there offer, what's makes her so special that you easily submitted to her without a bit of sas?" she was confused by my change of heart

"Well, in a new environment where noble basically rule over this school, and wanting to protect the goons from pirck noble like Hunter, I thought leading a hand isn't that's bad of a deal for something essential here. Plus if you met her, she have this present that could shake anyone who isn't careful around her, and not afraid to speak bluntly about what she want." I felt embarrassed by the reason I kept the truth from them

"Oh my god your actually a simp!" she laughed at my reason so hard. "What's the heck?! I thought this was gonna be a bro moment between us! Give me back my feelings!"

After she was done laughing, we made our way through the hallway looking for my class.

"Grey, I can't stop you from hurting people like Greylin. But please don't hurt her too bad if she realizes you are only using her for power and getting more connections." she said in a saddened tone while standing there waiting for my response.

I was caught off guard by this comment, and knowing her, she could easily just tell Lin my plans and be done with my whole plans with her. But I couldn't promise her anything so I simply just made my way down the hallway thinking maybe I'm close to my class.
