"You have a lot on your plate...what does that means, you aren't eating or holding a plate," Ivan said.

Ray who was half asleep couldn't help but chuckle slightly at what Ivan said.

"Hey, I thought you were asleep...how come you are laughing" Ivan snorted.

"I can't sleep with all the talking and love plans..."

"What!! love plans... which love plans?" Ivan questioned immediately.

'I didn't even ask Selena what time we are supposed to meet, we are going outside of the city so it should be early'

"Now that I'm up, might as well get ready" Ray mumbled before he slipped out of his bed.

"Why are you getting up, are you going somewhere?" Ivan asked.

"Yes I'm going out" Ray replied.

"Hehehe...you are going out with Lily right, you are talking about me and Sofia but here you are trying to go on a date with Lily" Ivan smirked.

"I thought nothing was going on with you and Sofia, so you guys were lying to us," Ray said with a surprised expression.

"What!! lying... nothing is going on with me and Sofia," Ivan said also immediately.

Ray didn't want Ivan to ask where he was going so he quickly changed the subject and made Ivan forget about his initial question.

Ray scoffed and walked outside the room smiling brightly, but his smiley face didn't last long as he met Lily on his way to the bathroom.

"Ray..." Lily called and Ray walked towards her.

"Hi...how was your night?"

"It was good, how are you doing...I hope you haven't forgotten about our deal" Lily said smiling.

'Shit...how do I tell her about my training, she would be furious if I cancel our meeting'

"Ray, why are you spacing out, is something wrong?" Lily asked.

"Huh!" Ray stepped closer to Lily and held her arms, "Lily I'm very sorry but I don't think I can..."

Lily pushed Ray's hands off her before he could finish his sentence, she took a step back and smiled brightly but immediately tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.

"Lily I have a reason, you have to believe me," Ray said.

"Then tell me the reason" Lily shouted at top of her voice making everyone in the hallway stare at them.

The loud shout make even students who were in their room to run outside and see what was happening, as more people came outside Lily couldn't hold back her tears and ran towards her room crying leaving Ray outside.

"That jerk...why did he make that cute girl cry he deserves a beating"

"Did he just turn that girl down...I know he's handsome but why would he turn down that girl"

The students whispered among themselves and Ray walked towards the bathroom, he didn't think of going back to beg Lily because the girls were already at her door and they wouldn't let him in. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

"What happened here?' Ivan asked a boy as the three of them came out of their room.

"Your roommate made a girl cry," the boy said.

"...Made a girl cry, did he beat her... Ray isn't the kind of guy that beats a girl" Ivan said.

As the three of them stood outside, Arya came walking towards them with anger on her face, Crystal was at her back but her face didn't show any expression.

"What is wrong with Ray" Arya shouted at the three of them.

"I don't understand what you are saying, make it clear," Ivan said.

"Your friend Ray is a jerk, Lily is in her room crying her eyes out, what did he do to her" Arya shouted.

"Hey" Sofia shouted at Arya, "Does he looks like Ray to you, don't raise your voice at him you peasant"

"What!! what did you just call me" Arya shouted.

"Hey Sofie that's out of line, apologize," Crystal said in a hoarse voice.

"You guys should calm down, we don't even know what happened and you come here to blame us, Ray went to take his bath, when he's back we should talk about this" Leia said.

"You...what are you called... I've got a special power to sniff out certain things and I know you are interested in Ray" Crystal spoke with a smile on her face.

"What are you saying" Ivan shouted.

"Xavier was the one supposed to go to the academy with you but when he dropped out you didn't hesitate to ask Ray, I was also watching both of you at the mini-tournament" Crystal smirked.

All the other topics died down and all of them looked at Leia, even Sofia and Ivan believed that Ray liked Lily and Leia was not someone good with boys, only Gabriel knew and he wasn't going to tell anyone.

"W-What are you saying...I asked Ray for a reason, I ask him to come with us because he was powerful, we were supposed to show the results of our training but Avalon was attacked" Leia sneered at her.

"What happened during the tournament was nothing, I have my reasons for acting concerned towards Ray but that doesn't mean I like him or I'm interested in him," Leia said with all the confidence she could muster.

"You are a fool for thinking that" Leia spoke before walking back inside her room, Sofia and Ivan followed suit. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"Those girls are actually blaming us for what happened, what exactly happened" Ivan shouted.

"Calm down Ivan, we'll ask Ray when he comes back," Sofia said.

"Don't be angry, that girl was talking out of line claiming that you have feelings for Ray when you don't, how will Leia have feelings for Ray...that girl must be stupid for thinking that" Ivan spoke.

'He's right...why would I have feelings for Ray, I don't have feelings for him, I'm just confused and this situation would correct that, but why are they fighting' Leia pondered.

'What are both of them fighting, that's not my business' Leia said inwardly but her face conjured a sly smile.

'What!! why am I happy that they are fighting, I don't like Ray so why am I happy, there's nothing to be happy about' Leia lay down on her bed and convinced herself she didn't like Ray.

"Haaa..." Ray sighed weakly and gritted his teeth.

He didn't mean to make Lily cry especially I'm front of everyone, now he would look like a bad person but he wasn't at fault, he needs to train to become stronger.

'Draco... I'm going to break every bone in your body till I'm satisfied' Ray sighed again to calm his nerves.

He walked out of the bathroom with the same clothes he wore, he forgot to bring new clothes along with him when coming, so he would have to change in his room.

The few students that were in the hallway looked at him with anger as he walked past them, they were angry at him and he was angry at himself, he chose training over Lily.

But going outside of the city was a very good opportunity and he couldn't pass it by, he was going to see Lily every day in the academy so he thought she wouldn't be too angry at him.

'I guess I still don't understand girls, after all, last time I kissed her because she was angry at me, I'm not sure that she going to let me kiss her this time...I have to apologize'

Ray opened the door to his room and stepped in, he didn't meet Arya or Crystal because they were comforting Lily who was still crying.

"Ray, what happened?" Ivan asked immediately and Leia and Sofia who were laying on their beds quickly stood up.

"Is it about Lily"

"Yes, I heard you made her cry, what happened?" Sofia asked this time.

"It's a confusing issue, we made plans to go out today but I have something to do"

"Something to do...we are free today, no training nothing, what do you have to do that can't wait, you can take her out in the evening, you can stroll around the city and treat her to something delicious," Sofia said.

"I'm busy, like I said I have an important issue," Ray said.

"Okay...what important issue? You made her cry in front of everyone, how do you expect her to face them tomorrow" Ivan asked.
