I Got News

"You two really do look good together. One may mistake you for a couple."

Andrew smiled at Susan

"Exactly what I keep telling them. This uncle wants to see his nephews and nieces before he dies."

"Die?" Susan was unsure if she heard him well, just why would he joke with death. "Do you have a disease or something."

Andrew looked at the others but the look they gave him was a look of 'you are in this alone.'

He smiled at Susan

"I actually mean dying of old age. Who knows, you both might stay single forever."

"You got a death wish?" said Sussy with an annoyed tone.

Susan smiled at them, but then curiosity creeped in.

"Just curious, have you both never thought of having a relationship?"

That look of curiosity, made Sussy and Stanley face each other, and while looking at each other's eyes, memories came flooding in.

"Michael, Michael, come over here, I got something to tell you." shouted Sussy as she stopped right in front of an open door.

They had just finished training, and some were having some rest before having dinner, but she decided to find Michael before doing any other thing.

She really felt like going in but didn't dare to, as she was not a member of the Revengers. Only the best among the best were there, and they were just a total of eight people who kept competing to be the number one.

Sussy really aspired to be among them, even though that would mean she would be the first female to be a part of them. But it was a hard task, she was among the Silent Killers, if only she could be the best among them, it was just that being the best was not enough, she would have to have a fight match with ten students from the Silent Killers, but not just any students, she had to fight with their best fighters, and must knock them all out without weapons.

Though she knew she still had a long way to go, she was not ready to give up.

She saw Stanley coming towards her, she probably just assumed that Michael sent him.

Stanley stood in front of her and just stared right into her eyes.

She was getting impatient and was about asking him for Michael's whereabouts, when he finally decided to speak.

"Not here."

"Then where is he?"

"The Sacred Room." he was busy studying her

"Oh" she said disappointed.

She was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered that she received a message from Master Bong Ju which she was to tell Stanley.

"Before I forget, Senior," she said, stressing the word 'Senior', as she was not used to calling them senior, since they all were close,and her having to call them senior somewhat reminded her that she was yet to be among the Revengers.

"Master said to join him for dinner tonight."

She turns her back at him and ran off.

Stanley found himself staring at her until she was gone, and now had thousands of thoughts going through his head.

'Is she playing dumb or does she really not know that I like her? Or is she in love with Michael, is that why she can't notice me? But Michael's got a cold personality, and he definitely does not love her. Well, it must have been an information she wanted to tell him, maybe one of her secrets, after all we all keep secrets with him. I really shouldn't jump to conclusions, I should trust Michael. '
