Episode # 2

Next Morning:-

Theo woke up and saw the time. It was the time for their college; he lazily got up and got ready. Theo picked his bag and came out of his room. He came inside Nat’s room and found him sleeping peacefully. He shook his head and came near his bed.

“Nat, wake up, we are getting late for the college,” Theo said while waking up his brother, who was sleeping while keeping pillow over his head (just like their father). Nat woke up after a while rubbing his eyes. He went towards his closet and took out his clothes. Nat got ready; he came out of his room after wearing a white hoodie with jeans and sat down on the chair around the dining table.

Theo came out of the kitchen with plates in his both hands. He came and kept his breakfast in front of him and settled down on the chair beside him. Together they finished their breakfast and left after a while for the college in Theo’s car.

They reached to their college after around half an hour and came out. Nat, who was hanging his bag on his shoulder, smiled after seeing Lauren coming towards them. She had a bright smile on her face.

(Lauren Thomas: - 18 and a childhood friend of Ben brothers. Her father, working as the security head of the Knight Mansion. Bennett was the one who made them realize that they love each other, and from that day they both are together.

Lauren is a sweet and shy girl. She always admires the bond between these 2. Lauren is having a great bond with their mother and sister Gloria. Loves Benedict to her core, she knows about his quiet nature. But she didn’t have any problem because he always made it sure to never let her face any problem.

He never missed a chance to take care of her, and this thing was enough for her. Both love and trust each other, and that’s enough for Lauren. Quiet or not, it doesn’t matter to her, because Nathan has given his trust and love to her. 

She is happy in getting a boyfriend like Nathan. So what’s the need in worrying about his quiet nature?)

“Hey, Love!” Lauren said while coming towards Nat. Nat took her in a side embrace, and pecked her temple. They kissed each other many times, but not in public. It’s not that they can’t kiss in public, it’s just they never liked to show off their private moments in front of the outsiders.

Lauren also kissed his cheek and turned her sight towards Bennett. He was playing with his car keys. Theo had a bag on his right shoulder, and with the left hand, he was playing with his car keys.

“Hey Bennett bear, how are you?” Lauren asked, on which Bennett with a wide grin said, “fit as a horse, Laura panda.” Nat, who heard this, chuckled a little, while Lauren made a face after hearing this. “I’m not any Panda, you stupid buffalo,” Lauren said.

On hearing this, Bennett shrugged his shoulder and said, “If you are not a Panda, then I’m a Spiderman.”

“Nat, when are you going to find a girlfriend for this irritating creature?” Lauren asked Nat, who turns his gaze towards Theo and said, “He is a baby” and left with Lauren. Lauren, who heard this, burst into laughter, while Theo’s mouth hung down in shock.

“Hey! I’m not a baby,” he shouted from behind, “Whatever helps you to sleep in the night” Nat replied. Theo looks towards himself from head to toe in one of the glass of the entrance door. “How can he call a 6 feet tall boy as a baby?” he mumbled with a sad pout and ran behind Nat to make him understand that he is not at all a baby.

They came towards the locker area, and Laura took out her books. Theo and Nat waited for her outside the girl’s locker room. After Laura has done, they went towards the boys’ locker room. Nat and Theo went and took out their things.

They came out and found Laura was waiting for them. Nat encircled his arm around her shoulder and went towards the 1st class. They arrived inside and found a few students were sitting in the room.

Theo sat down on the chair at the back, while Nat and Laura settled down on the chairs in front of Theo. Theo, who was scribing something on his notebook, heard a voice and made an irritating face.

Nat and Laura held their laughter because it was the girl who had a huge crush on Theo. The girl with a wide grin came towards Theo and tried to sit beside him, but Theo gave her a tight smile and said, “I like to sit alone, Thank You.”

Girl becomes embarrassed and went from there. Nat and Laura burst into laughter while Theo rolled his eyes and ignored them royally.

After taking classes, Nat and Lauren came towards the canteen. Theo had a little different lectures from them, so they were waiting for him to come.

“Watch your steps, Knight!” Nat, who was talking with Lauren, heard a voice. He turned his head and found Theo standing at the entrance door of the cafeteria. One boy was standing in front of him.

“Relax Tim! It’s just an accident, I didn’t collide with you intentionally,” Theo said in a calm tone and stepped aside but the boy named Tim pushed Theo back. Because of which he collided with a sidewall.

Theo shook his head in disbelief. He opened his mouth to say something, but before that only, Tim went from there. Theo rolled his eyes and walked towards the table where Nat and Lauren were sitting and waiting for him.

“I just hate that Tim,” Lauren said while munching her chips. Theo and Tim were not having any friendly relation, because both are from the opposite teams of basketball. And Tim is jealous of Theo because he never let him win even a single match till now.

“Ignore him, he is just a jealous prick,” Theo said, and picked the sandwich kept for him by Nat.

They finished their lunch and came back to their classes. Nat excused from them, as he wanted few books from the Library. Theo and Lauren went together towards the parking lot.

Basketball court:-

Tim was doing practice, when suddenly he heard the tapping of another ball. He turns around and found one blue hoodie person standing there and tapping the ball continuously on the ground. His face was entirely hidden, under the hood.

“Hey you? Do your practice somewhere else,” Tim said and turns his attention again towards his ball and tapped it again.

“Who said I’m here for a practice?” Hoodie person said on which Tim turns around, and said, “Then why are you here? Dude! Just go from here.”

“I’m here to see that if my target is still accurate or I have to do more practice?” hoodie person said. Tim who heard this turns around being irritated, and before he can open his mouth, he felt an immense pain on his nose.

“Bulls-eye...,” hoodie person said. “What the hell...,” Tim said while palming his nose, which was bleeding profusely.

“Are you mad or what?” Tim roared in anger, but before that only he felt pain on his sensitive part, because hoodie person just kicked him there.

“Aah,” Tim screamed in pain and fell on the ground. “Next time you wouldn’t be able to go back to your home in a single piece, mark my words,” Hoodie person said while bending to his ear level and left from there while punching again his already broken nose.

Hoodie person came in one empty corridor of the college and removed the hood from his face. The person revealed as none other than, Nat.
