24 Frey
After Arvid and Gwen left Angeal's room last night, Gwen informed Ivar that they will be having a guest tomorrow, and asked him to speak for Angeal since the human girl was still embarrassed to talk to Devin.
Ivar completely understood why he was asked for a favor from Angeal, so he accepted. He found it cute, knowing that Angeal had this side of her. He still couldn't get over the fact that they kissed, even though it was accidental.
When Ivar talked to Devin about having a guest, the Soul Eater was hesitant for a bit, but he still agreed to let her in since she's the human girl's only best friend.
Given the talk by Ivar last night of how Angeal grew up being treated differently and all, made him understand her in his own ways.
"Ah, I'm finally here," the human girl exclaimed as she looked at the mansion gate.
From afar, Angeal noticed her best friend already. She ran as fast as she could to greet her. The moment Frey entered the gate, she was greeted by a happy Angeal that jumped on her to give her a hug, making the both of them fall to the ground.
Frey laughed as she was being hugged tightly by Angeal. It looked like she was being embraced by a kid who hadn't seen her mom for a long time!
"Hey! We haven't seen each other in like... only for a few weeks," Frey commented and Angeal smiled at her as the both of them stood up, then gave each other a proper hug. "You're acting such a child!"
In front of Angeal stood a beautiful girl with short hair and green eyes. She was wearing a white shirt and a blue jumper, and wore a brown Timberland for her shoes.
During their days in high school, Frey was considered attractive. Even now! She had a lot of admirers but Frey was too headstrong in her studies to even think of being in a relationship. She had crushes, yes... but she prioritized her studies and her family more than anything else.
Soon after, the young immortal came, then greeted her.
"How's your vacation," Arvid asked and Frey gave him a nod of approval and a grin.
"It was nice," she answered and then she looked around, expecting for the others. "Where are the others? Out on an errand," Frey asked and Angeal nodded then typed in her app.
"Pops went somewhere since Ivar sent him to do something. Gwen, Martha, and Edwin are doing their duties for the day," the app read then Frey nodded, understanding why it was quiet in the mansion. It was always busy in their place, after all.
"Ehem," the young immortal cleared his throat, making the two girls look at him. Arvid pointed his thumb at the back as he looked at Frey.
"Let's go? They will see you later once they're done," he said and the three of them walked to the garden.
As the three were walking, Frey wondered about the whereabouts of those who came home just recently. She asked some information about them and Arvid and Angeal did their best to answer.
They even told her about the incident that happened days ago, making Frey worry about Angeal. Her best friend, however, showed that she was okay, making Frey relieved that Angeal was headstrong.
"So other than your master and his personal servant who just came back, what else is new," Frey asked, changing the subject then Arvid gave her a cheeky grin.
Ever since Frey and Angeal became friends, Frey also visited them from time to time. The three of them have also been close since they were young so the three of them are seen as three inseparable best friends.
"Guess who's going to Green University with you guys," Arvid said excitedly and as they sat down on the garden chair, Frey's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really!? Arvid is now going to school with us?"
Angeal smiled as she typed on her app. She knew that Frey would be happy to hear this.
"Yeah! Pops fixed his papers so he can go to school with us."
Frey looked at Arvid teasingly, not expecting him to be interested in studying.
"What made you go to school? Is it because of..."
She didn't finish her sentence and she just gave a quick look at Angeal who was oblivious to what was happening around her. Angeal started browsing her notes to show them her plotted schedule.
Arvid rolled his eyes at her. Frey knew ever since they were young teenagers that he started liking Angeal. Even though there were hints that Arvid liked her, Angeal didn't even notice the signs, and just saw him as her brother slash best friend.
Somehow it hurt the young immortal... but he just left it as is.
"I've been taking an interest in learning, you know! Besides... it would still be related to something physical so it could be beneficial for my training," he answered Frey then Angeal showed her phone to her best friend.
Frey noticed it was her schedule, so she looked excited to look at these subjects, wishing that they would be classmates for the next semester.
"Oh! Let's see if the three of us have the same minor subjects," Frey commented then the three of them put their phones on the table for them to compare subjects.
Frey was taking her undergraduate degree in psychology. As for Angeal, she was taking creative writing. For Arvid, he enrolled for physical education.
"So you guys have the same alternate schedule," Frey said then Arvid furrowed his brows.
"You're going to take 21 units? Ain't that stressful," he asked and Frey shook her head.
"It won't! I love what I'm taking!"
Since they were in high school, Angeal and Frey talked about the courses they would take in college.
Angeal loved reading and writing so much, that she wanted to major in creative writing. As for Frey, she loved studying how the mind and the emotions work and how it affects the people around him or her so she started taking up psychology.
Angeal smiled as she pointed out one subject common for them. The moment the two of her friends looked at it, they gave each other a high five.
"We're taking world literature every MWF together!"
The moment Frey said this excitedly, they looked on their schedules again and Arvid pointed another subject.
"Angeal and I have another subject in common. We're going to take general psychology on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays," the young immortal said and Frey looked at the two of them.
"I already finished that, but if you guys need help, I can help you with anything," she commented and all of them kept their phones.
Angeal got the picnic basket and put it on the table. She pointed at it, signalling for everyone to eat.
Arvid got the food outside. He took out the tuna sandwiches, and served it on the table. Angeal got the three glasses at the side and poured orange juice.
They conversed as they ate the snacks. Soon after, Gwen came and joined them.
"Hey," Gwen greeted as she walked over to them. "How's our future psychologist? Can you read what is on my mind now," she added and Frey just rolled her eyes at the immortal.
"Can you please stop with the thought that psychologists are mind readers?"
Angeal was listening to the three have their own conversation until her eyes wandered.
She looked at the trees that gave them shade. She felt the soft breeze on her skin then she sighed, appreciating the life she had now.
As she looked up in the sky and watched the clouds come and go, she was suddenly reminded of what her grandfather told her.
Their master, Devin, saved her life.
Angeal's blue eyes suddenly turned serious as she continued looking at the sky and thought to herself if that was really the reason why they were working for him. She thought that her grandfather wouldn't have worked for someone without a heavy reason why. What if there was another reason other than her being saved.
Was her being saved by him really the main reason why they work for him?
