Rise of the Crusader

50 Girls night

“Hey!!!!!”

“What is wrong with you, why did you turn it off?!!!”

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 didn’t seem to care as she kept a straight face.

“This is meant to be our girl’s night, all we have been doing the whole time is watching television. I’m already quite bored, so let’s do something else.” Becky stated.

Melinda and Elisa glanced at one another before one of them said, “What do you mean by we have been watching television the whole time, didn’t we finish playing games.” Melinda pointed at the monopoly board which was on the floor.

“Turn 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.”

“If I don’t watch it now, I’m 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!!!!!!!” 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.

.....

“Becky!!!!!!!!! How dare you!!!!!”

Melinda was about to launch herself at Becky when Becky’s voice rang out. “Elisa, what are you going to do about Raphael and Aliyah?”

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.

“What about Raphael?!!”

The three girls in the room immediately shifted their gazes towards the person who had just walked into the room. “Oh, It’s this person that Elisa is really into, but another girl is advancing towards him... It is kind of really complicated because Elisa hasn’t told him about how she feels.”

“And, why are you just coming now!!!!” Becky said, “It’s almost eleven o clock, do all members of the tech division act this way, or is it just you, Aurora.”

Aurora flashed a light smile when she heard Becky, “I 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.”

“...”

Seeing the expression on the three girls faces, Aurora raised an eyebrow, “Anyway, forget about it... So, who is this person that Elisa has a crush on, and what does he have to do with Raphael.”

As Aurora spoke, her mouth opened slightly, “Wait, Raphael? is that the name of the person Elisa has a crush on?!” Aurora asked in a serious tone.

Becky and Melinda nodded their head when they heard Aurora, “Yes, 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 there’s no way he would reject her.

“Elisa is both attractive and beautiful... While her breasts might not be her strongest area, those buttocks are on another level.” Becky said, staring at Elisa, “They bounce with each of her every movement, tell me who can possibly resist that.”

“Becky!!!!!!”

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 couldn’t help but get the feeling that Becky wanted to strip her down.

“Come on, don’t act like you don’t know you have large buttocks, everyone is always looking at them whenever you walk by.”

“Melinda, is she really joking, or does she not know,” Becky said.

“Hahahahahah!!!! I’m sure she knows Becky.”

“Can the both of keeping shut,” Suddenly, Aurora’s voice rang out. “There are two Raphael in the academy, one in the norms division, and the other in the elite division. Which one are you talking about?!”

“The one in the elite division, of course,” Becky responded, “What could possibly make you think that we are talking about the one in the norms division!!!”

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, “Elisa, no, no, no, no, there’s no way you can have a crush or even try to tell him how you feel about him.”

“...”

There was a bewildered expression on Elisa’s face when she heard Aurora.

“Trust me that Raphael is not worth it!!!! He is nothing but a proud, ignorant, self-centered, narcissist person.” Aurora exclaimed.

“What do you mean?! Have the both of you met before,” 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.

“So you see, why I say you can’t be with someone like that,” Aurora exclaimed.

“Wheeew... That’s quite some story you have right there, Aurora,” Melinda said, “But, Raphael doesn’t behave like that. He seems even friendly.”

“Yes, 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 didn’t. As for his proud nature, I can’t really say much about that.

“But even if he is proud, he actually is entitled to be that way.” Becky said, and seeing how Melinda, Aurora, and Elisa were staring at her, her lips curved slightly, “I mean, he is very handsome, powerful, his powers are extraordinary and to top that off, he is also a tech genius.”

“It would be weird if he doesn’t have an arrogant side in him.”

Aurora’s eyes twitched when she heard Becky, “Y-You...” Aurora stuttered, “Elisa, you listen to me, Raphael isn’t a good person!!!! You deserve someone better than that snobbish dude.” Aurora stated.

Elisa stared at Aurora, for a few seconds before moving her gaze towards Melinda and Becky, “What do the both of you think?” Elisa asked, “Raphael actually doesn’t seem like that sort of person, but it might probably be because I’m into him, so I’m unable to see all that.”

“Hmmm, what do you think about him?!” Elisa repeated her early question.

“You like him, don’t you? So, go for it,” Becky replied straight away, “I was with him in the mansion, the whole time, and I couldn’t find any complaint about him.”

“And 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.” Becky said.

“No, there’s no way that jerk is better than me!!” A second after, and Aurora’s voice rang out.

“I didn’t say he is better, I only said you see him as a threat to your number one throne.”

“The two of you should keep shut!!!!!!!!” Melinda’s loud voice reverberated the whole room.

As Aurora and Becky became quiet, Melinda stared at Elisa, “Don’t mind the two of them Elisa, it all goes down to what you want. None of us is close with Raphael, so we really don’t know much about him.”

“It’s 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.” Melinda said.

Elisa heaved a deep breath, “I still don’t know if he even likes me... What if he says no!”

“Who are you kidding? With an ass like that, there’s no way he wouldn’t like you. And even if he doesn’t, that would mean that he is either into guys, or he is simply an idiot.” Becky declared.

Melinda shook her head, “You can’t know if you don’t try,”

“After everything I have told you, I can’t believe you’re still thinking of confessing how you feel to him,” Aurora paused, “What is wrong with you?!”

“Isn’t that because you’re only putting your own feelings into consideration and not Elisa’s feelings,” Becky said with a sneer on her face.

“Shhh!!!” Aurora gave Becky the finger, “Oh yes, I remember. What about this, I saw a couple of women in Raphael’s room the other day. They were all yelling at him, calling him all sorts of names.”

“One of them included pervert, Yess!!! Now, do you think I’m only putting my feelings into consideration? Not only is he proud, and self-centered, he is also a pervert.”

When Elisa, Melinda, and Becky heard Aurora, a perplexed expression couldn’t help but appear on their faces. The three of them glanced at one another, before then staring at Aurora.

“Aurora?”

“Yes,”

“What were you doing in Raphael’s room in the first place.”

“I... I...” Aurora stammered, and her eyes twitched when she saw how the three of them were staring at her. “T... That’s not the main point, what matters is what those girls were saying.” Aurora said.

“Nope! What were you doing in the room, Aurora?!” Melinda asked, folding her hands across her chest.

As Aurora stared at the three of them, she heaved a deep breath, “It’s not what you think, I went there to confront him about something,” Aurora said and seeing the expression on their faces, she shook her head.

“Fine, Elisa tell him about how you feel... But whatever happens, I’m going to be here to tell you that I told you so.”

“Durrrhhh!” Becky exclaimed.

“So Elisa, what are you going to do about Raphael and Aliyah, especially now that they will be having a private session with Edgar?!”

Elisa, however, shrugged her shoulder, “Nothing! Even if we are to end up together, I can’t always be with him all the time.” Elisa said.

“Let’s talk about something else, this is meant to be girl’s night, not talking about Raphael’s night.” It was Aurora that spoke.

“What movies were you all watching?” Aurora asked as Melinda went to turn on the television.

“765 days.”

“Really?” There was excitement written all over Aurora’s face, “I have been dying to watch that movie, you know after watching part one where the woman was kidnapped, I just couldn’t wait for more.”
