Chapter 19

I jumped from my bed and looked at my phone to check the time. "Shit, I'm late."

I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and when I was done, I grabbed my clothes and hurriedly wore them. I took my backpack and ran to the door but when I opened it, Daryl was standing outside. "Where are you headed to?" He said as he tilted his head a bit. "I have class today and I'm late," I said and bit my lower lip.

He chuckled and said, "It's weekend, Jus. You don't have classes today." I let out a sigh of relief and scratched the back of my head, "Haha, right."

Justin, you idiot!

"Change into comfortable clothes first, then let's go downstairs and eat breakfast. I'll wait outside your room," he said and closed the door.

I really forgot that it's Saturday today. My mind must have been so occupied that I forgot about it.

After changing my clothes, I went out of my room and saw Daryl leaning his back against the wall next to the door. "Let's go?" We headed to the dining area together.

I can understand why he wanted to accompany me. This house is so huge that I'd probably get lost if I went there alone.

The table was long and was filled with lots of food. How are we gonna eat all of this?

Daryl and I sat next to each other. "Where are your cousins?" I asked. Last night, he mentioned that his cousins live here so it would be rude if we did not wait for them and ate first. "They'd probably be here in a minute," he said and smiled.

"By the way, Dar. I have a question. Why did you decide to live in a condo instead of living here?" I asked as I looked at him with eyes full of curiosity. He looked up and cleared his throat. "Well, I wanted to be independent. Plus, my parents aren't even around and I don't see them at all, and my cousins did not live here until four months ago, so what's the use of staying here at home? It's not like anyone else is here aside from the maids," he said and shrugged.

He must have been very lonely. Not having his parents around and living in a very big house probably feels so empty.

"And... I have you in the condo," he continued and smiled. Before I could speak again, two people were walking towards the dining table.

My mouth fell open when I recognized one of them. He has dark brown wavy hair that was almost close to black, amber eyes, and red lips. He is full of charisma, and even the way he walks looks intimidating and mesmerizing. I can't smell anything on him, but there were plenty of rumors saying that he's an alpha, and another one was that he's an omega, but actually he might even be a beta. Regardless of what his second gender is, it's commendable that he can hide his pheromones well—that is if he's not a beta. If he's an alpha or an omega, then he must be dominant.

"Is that Troy Lee?" I whispered to Daryl. "Huh? Yeah," he said as he nodded. "Do you know him?" He asked. I looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Of course, I do! He's very famous!" Who doesn't know him?

Troy Lee, an actor who's at the peak of his career. He started acting two years ago and gained a lot of popularity in the very first movie he took part in. A lot of alphas, betas and omegas are crazy over him. Well basically, everybody's crazy for him.

"Good morning," Troy said as he smiled gently. "There's nothing good in mornings," the other one mumbled.

He looks like he's still in high school. He had the same hair as Troy, but unlike him, he had downturned green eyes. His nose was perfectly shaped and his lips were pink. Somehow, his eyes gives me some kind of familiarity. Have I seen him somewhere before?

Troy stopped walking and looked at me. "Oh?" I raised my brows, confused if he was actually looking at me or if he's looking at Daryl. "Hey, Dar. I heard you were here, but I did not know Justin would be here too," he said as he smiled.

Huh? He knows me?

"What? How do you know Justin? Do you guys know each other?" Daryl asked as he scrunched his brows. "Ah, yes. We were classmates in sixth grade, so I still remembered him," Troy said and shrugged. The high school boy, who seemed to be his brother, sat across Daryl. Troy continued walking and sat across me.

We were classmates in sixth grade? I don't remember though...

He chuckled and said, "It seems like you don't remember me at all. I'm Troy Lee." How does he know that I don't remember him? Does my face show it? "Um... Hello?" I said, with a hint of uncertainty in my voice. He just chuckled and said, "Don't be too awkward with me. By the way, this is my brother, Terrence." The high school boy looked at me and said, "Hi."

We began eating, and honestly, the meal was perfect. Though, it kinda felt like I had a hard time swallowing because of them. I really feel so small right now. Imagine living with them even if it's just for now. Daryl is filthy rich, Troy is a famous actor and a total celebrity, and Terrence doesn't really speak much. The atmosphere is just way too heavy for me. Well, I hope I can adjust here. Haaa...

TROY'S POINT OF VIEW:

Oh god, it's really Justin!

I can't believe Daryl knows him. They're even friends!

During breakfast, I tried to look cool while eating. When we spoke to each other earlier, I could barely contain myself because I was way too excited. I've been wanting to meet him for some time now. I gotta inform my brother quick.

I fished my phone from my pocket and sent my brother a text.

'Guess what? Justin is here at the house. Daryl said he'd be living with us for a while since there was some kind of situation. He did not explain further than that, though.'

After a few seconds, he immediately replied to my text. Well, that was unusual. Usually, he'd just read my texts and not reply at all, and sometimes he'd read them and then reply after a few hours.

'I'm on my way.'

I chuckled when I read his reply. Why would he even come here? He said he doesn't want to stay here which is why he got himself his own condo. Is he that intrigued with Justin?

Or could there be other reasons why he wants to see him?
