After four days of observation, Elliot finally given clear slip to go home to the relief of staff of the hospital. In those day Brad had somehow managed to shut complaining owner of the hospital about the mess Nixon made by his arrival and the damages. Natalie stayed with her twin something about being together help other heal faster. Nixon did not believed Natalie's excuse because the guilt was clear on her face. He know that Natalie felt guilty for not sensing it on time and blamed herself for her twin being hurt because of her. His wounds are also healed just a scratch on his jaw that going to be scar by depth of the cut.
It going to take maybe a month for Elliot to be back to normal because of the stitches. The attackers of Elliot were still unknown. Elliot did confirmed that they are six in total and wearing masks with different accent in their speech. The moonless night and absence of lighting made it extremely difficult for Elliot to picked anything. He was a bit drunk too. The clues are not enough for Nixon to pin point attackers from people in the guest list of the party. Whoever they are well aware about all the members of the Blood family.
Darius and him had taken care of the media. Much of Nixon's irritation neither of their parents came to check on their own son who was attacked. Nixon did not know why he even consider that they would give a damn about them. Tyrone Blood was too busy in his business meetings and Mrs. Blood only care about her parties to took notice that all her children had not return back home. The household staff was there to take care of their needs. Brad and Margret were actually the most supportive one. Without even saying they handle every situation because Nixon was too out of his mind seeing his little brother who he adore as his own injured in his presence.
" How is Elliot??"

"Elliot is Elliot."
He spoke in gruff voice making other three nodded in understanding. He did not wanted to leave Elliot alone but Brad had thrown him out of the house with the help of security. Nixon can easily fight his way in but he did not because he respected the head butler. Brad might be a employee for Mr. and Mrs. Blood but to Nixon and his siblings, the old man is family. He and his wife, Margret had always been there for them. The couple is more of parents to Blood siblings than their real birth parents. Margret thrust a plate of breakfast in his hands after ordering him to get his ass to college while they all look after Elliot. He was not the only one to be thrown out but other three siblings get the same treatment by the couple.
He nodded taking seat behind Hunter and Jack. His friends had used to Nixon's short answers. They four are together since kinder garden and had knew about each others actions. They known as Four Aces' of the university. Girls throw themselves at their feet, boys envy them. Nobody able to get in between them. Anyone who tried to break their bond had never seen again. No one dare to mess with them because if you harm one of them than other three will be on you. Whole student body including professors afraid of them or more particularly of Nixon's anger that's what his friends had told about them. Reed is sitting alone ahead of them lost to the world.

The first lecture is of Physics, the only lecture which always full because of Mr. Dave. The only professor who actually put effort to make his lectures entertaining and worth attending. The plus point he does not poke his nose in anyone's business as long as you submit his assignment on time. The sixty year old Spanish man can recite any topic of physics you ask him without any reference but when it comes to remembering names he failed every time. Students tried to make fun of him but the man had a whooping amount of patience to twist words thrown at him in a sarcastic manner. All professors might dislike Mr. Dave's ways of teaching but Nixon liked his lectures so the other students of the class judging by the piling hard-copies of assignments.

Nixon grunted and hummed in return to his two idiot friends, Jack and Hunter who are mindless chattering. Reed as usually silent, headphones on his ears with his hood covering half of his face. Reed is the quietest in all four. Always lost in his own world but a damn good observant. Nothing missed from his eyes. Most of the time you don't even know he is there unless he spoke which was a rare thing on its own. Hell, he barely spoke a word in a week. Jack laughed out loud suddenly glancing at the phone in his hand, making Nixon raise his brows while Hunter smirked after sneaking a glance at Jack's phone. By the looks on both idiots faces, they are up to something. Might be pranking or causing trouble to some professor. Nothing new.

" Salvi massaged me about new admission."
If it is possible Jack's grin widen it almost look crazy. Hunter and Jack both high fived. Nixon shake his head but a smirk tug on his face. Jack love to prank new student, it doesn't matter from which department they belong. His female fans had spread all around the campus to speed dial. Jack is the prankster of the group. If trouble has a face then Nixon is sure it has Jack's face. His pranks are always entertaining. He wish Jack's prank does not spook the poor soul. A chuckle escaped his lips as both Hunter and Jack whispered while giggling and crackling. Even Reed's emotionless mask cracked as his lips twitched upwards.
And just like that Nixon's mood lift up.
Then a girl wearing pastel pink sweatshirt and ripped faded blue jean with air force one, enter after Mr. Dave. Her brunette hair are messed up in a 'just had a make out' type, making some guys whistle at her but a swinging cap on her bag pack told Nixon the reason of tightening on her mouth. The new girl moved with calculated moves and grace that show swiftness and flexibility she possesses. She moved and only available places are either beside Reed or him. New girl took seat beside Reed without uttering a word and her whole attention at the front on the slides. Jack pull Percy out from its travel box. Why Jack always carry her with him is still a mystery. With a splitting grin, he placed Percy on girl's shoulder. Stretching his legs, Nixon waited for the drama to unfold. Hunter and Jack both are practically vibrating in anticipation. Their faces lightened up like a kid on the Christmas who about to get lots of gifts.

The screaming and shouting never happened instead new girl calmly took Percy in hand and cooed at her. Yes. She cooed at the big hairy tarantula spider. Her hands are not trembling so Nixon know she is not faking at all. The fuck. With a smile on her face, she asked Reed if the rodent is his. Reed's noticeable shifting to the edge of the seat answered her as she bobbed her brunette head in understanding.

" So cute. . . ."
Percy
She petted the eight beady eyed creature which lean back on its haunches, raised its head and front legs making Nixon jaw drop open in shock. Jack is gaping at the act of his pet while Hunter's eyes is blown wide. Even Reed staring at the girl beside him in shock. Nixon only seen Percy doing the same thing when its breeder had petted her goodbye for the last time and sold it to Jack. He told them all that Percy did it when she feel affection. Percy never had done this before not even when Jack give her treats.
" What the fuck. . . . "

Hunter exclaimed in astonishment. The girl turn with disgusting thing still in her hand. Her eyes are twinkling in delight as if the best thing in the world. Nixon shuddered. He feared that creepy crawler though he never admit it out loud to anyone.

" Yours . . . ."
Her tone held no question instead it is a statement. Jack bobbed his head still gawking at the new girl who had enchanted his pet in mere seconds. Reed is silently studying the brunette beside him still leaning away from her. Her reaction had got Reed's attention, Nixon can tell by the way Reed keep glancing at her. Just like Nixon, Reed also reading new girl. She is strange.
" What's her name??"
" Percy. . ."
New girl's eye

She nodded before handing Percy back with a grin which show a dimple on her left cheek. Molten mercury iris connected with his vibrant green. Tilting her head to the left, something flash on her face and vanished, too fast for Nixon to catch it. Before a teasing smile tugged on new girl's lips, she blinked both of her eyes in certain pattern at him with a mischievous glint swirling in unique color orbs. Nixon is certain that there is a meaning behind blinking but what. Taking hold of pen, he write the gesture. What she did with her eyes. Closing his eyes, Nixon counted the fluttering eyelids moves. His hand moved on paper, writing it down.

His brows scrunched up in confusion. The pattern does not fall to any known word. He know for sure. Maybe she is fooling with him. Stupid girl. Nixon huffed in annoyance for thinking so much but she did that only looking at him. Why the hell he giving some bitch importance. She is no one. She must heard about him around from others and now she wanted to gain his attention. He groan out loud maybe a bit louder as all around him turn their heads. Nixon glared making other quickly turn their heads away from him except four, three of them his friends and the new girl. Then she does that again, tricks with eyes with slight uplift of red lips in teasing way making Nixon sneer at her to which new girl flashed her dimple. She flashed her fucking dimple to him.
The pattern was same making Nixon gritting his teeth in irritation. She was toying with him and fuck him for letting new girl getting under his skin. Reed turned his face with a brow raised up in silent question. That damn observant. Nothing missed from his eyes. Inhaling softly, Nixon nodded getting a narrowed eyes filled suspicion thrown at him. Rolling his green eyes, he glared making Reed return the favor with his creepy blank stare before he finally turn his face to the front. Leaving Nixon alone from his silent interrogation just for now. The brat might not say much but with his face alone he intimidate others. It's works. The blank dark eyes staring at you without blinking. Huffing, Nixon lean back trying to focus at the front but his eyes without his permission slides back to the brunette girl sitting ahead of him.

Mr. Dave continue to explain about LCR Circuit even when Nixon stomped off the hall with Hunter, Jack and Reed behind him. Just giving them side eyes that filled with understanding. Nixon doesn't miss the grey orbs set on him while walking out the door. They burn his back like laser. He can feel them observing him.

" Dude, what the hell happened??"
Jack asked catching up with Nixon's fast pace. Hunter is walking while tapping on his phone screen which hardly left his hand. He always remain glue to it. Reed is the last one who is following them lazily with his headphones on.
" Don't feel like attending classes."
