Chapter 65 : Enjoy it while you can.

Peach had woken up when she heard her sister's voice. She had originally shrugged it off and was already dozing off again when she saw Kofi walking off with her phone. She didn't really want the two talking, they both had robust and domineering personalities.

She was always sluggish when she woke up. It was like her body couldn't keep up with her mind, coupled with the stress of the last few days, she seemed even worse. When she heard Kofi scolding her sister, she was oddly amused.

Her sister could be a brat most of the time but she never called her out for it, especially since their grandma would never let her hear the end of it. It hurt when her own sister didn't think she could ever amount to anything but Kofi surprised her even more, especially with the compliments.

She was high on giggles as she skipped back to her room, " Coming to GEMS was the best thing that ever happened to me ". The letter Byran told them he'd send must have reached them which meant her mom would be out the house now.

She shook her head and she entered her room, " I can't wait to tell mom about everything ". She suddenly frowned, putting a finger to her lower lip as she opened one of her drawers, " Well, maybe not everything ".

Kofi ended up leaning against the terrace and looking out at the horizon. She sighed as she rubbed Whiskers chin " Is it bad that I don't like how peaceful this place seems "? Whiskers frowned, taking his head away " Yes. It is very bad ".

She sighed again, looking dejected as she put her head on the terrace " I know ". Whiskers patted her nose tiredly, " What's wrong now "? Kofi shrugged, looking up at the clouds " I don't know. I just feel really on edge ".

She blew a raspberry and continued, " It's not like Delvara. Here, there are things to work for and protect, there are too many things to get attached to here ". Whiskers sighed, using both paws on her cheeks " You're right, this can't last forever but that's why you should enjoy it while you still can ".

Though he was in his animal form, he was still strong. Strong enough to keep her face mushed up " But.... ". He shook her up again, speaking seriously " No buts. If things do go south, you've got me to keep you out of trouble. You got that "?

She nodded and he let go of her cheeks. She smiled, rubbing her jaw " Yes ". She suddenly pulled him close and slipped back into the house, " Let's see if there's any meat left ".

Liston had reached the school gates somewhere around nine. He sighed as he put up his sunglasses and drove in, " I wonder how much trouble I should make so I get kicked out "?

He mumbled as he looked at the holographic map of the school. He rubbed his hands against each other as if washing them and sighed " The gold tower, was it ". His car suddenly lit up for a few seconds, showing the GPS of both systems were now synced.

He was surprised by the gold painted storey building and whistled as he drove around it to get to the underground parking lot, " Must have close to thirty floors ".

He smiled as he stepped our of the car, " Maybe I'll be able to convince Cousin Odette to give me the penthouse ". He suddenly frowned, shutting the door behind him " Probably a bad idea, I'm already in enough trouble for stealing her formulas ".

He scoffed as a sudden text came through, showing on his sunglasses. Valentino wasn't a big fan of Tapi products but no matter how hard he tried to have them banned, it never worked and they were quite popular.

Liston himself wasn't a big fan of MAC - which stands for Mind, Soul and Body - tech, the idea of putting artificial intelligence directly into his subconscious unsettled him a bit but that was probably because he'd spent a lot of time with Valentino.

" Apartment 5A it is ". He tapped his foot as he stood in the elevator. He frowned slightly as if remembering something unpleasant, " I hope I don't have to see those two anytime soon ".

Barely a minute after he said that, the elevator doors suddenly opened on the second floor and Leonardo, frowned, " It's you "!? Lloyd smiled evilly as he suddenly held his shirt, " What are you doing here "?

He held his hands out as if surrendering when he'd been pinned to the cold silver wall and smiled, laughing nervously " Nice to see you guys too "? [ I guess I don't always get what I want ]
