During lunch the constant voices of the people were not a distraction for the club president who was writing down a few things in a notepad; he was alone but not for long since two more people decided to join him.

¨Still working with the information that person gave you?¨ The blond boy was smiling, leaning over to see what his friend wrote ¨That sure is a lot…¨

¨Can I see it?¨ Taliyah asked as he grabbed her plastic fork to get some of the beans in her meal.

¨Mh… not yet, I have to write these down and make the connections¨ Ren just kept on working on the notepad, ignoring his food ¨Some things do not make sense…¨

¨Can you tell us who your `contact´ is?¨

The brown haired slightly looked up, his eyes trying to find the white haired girl and on one of the tables, almost on the opposite side of the cafeteria was her. Riven was with Katarina and some other girls from different groups; could they be the rest of the team? Certainly Katarina would fit a role in there but not only he wanted to preserve his life but to keep the secrecy of his contact. By the time the other two club members decided to look in the direction their president was looking he just directed his vision back to the notepad ¨Sorry, but it's a secret¨

¨Then you want us to go and ask every person in this academy about having any relation to you?¨ The blue eyes from the boy just went to the different people in the cafeteria, mostly girls ¨How about…¨ He stopped at the girls from the Literature Club, especially on the raven haired one who was already a close friend of Ren ¨How about Sophie? You are already close so she might be your contact, she might know something about the ASG; maybe even be a member of it?¨

¨What? No! That's impossible, Soph would never be part of that team¨ Taliyah defended her friend, aiming with her fork at the blond.

¨And how can you be so sure about it, mh?¨ Ezreal smiled.

¨Because… uh…¨ Reginald also looked at the tanned girl who was getting slightly nervous ¨Well first, she's my friend, I would know. Second, she is innocent… pure… there's no way she can be one of those evil guardians or something. You know her more than I do Ren¨

¨Yeah I guess you are right, Soph can't be part of that team… maybe…¨ Ren raised his pen to the chin ¨Maybe she's a Star Guardian? Along with the entirety of the Literature Club¨

¨W-wait… a-are you serious?!¨

But he remained silent and just chuckled in the end ¨Nah, I know Sophie, she would tell me such a big secret¨

¨But would you tell us if that was the case?¨

¨Wouldn't know… besides you should be the one that would have more information about the Star Guardians, you kissed their leader!¨

¨Just because I… we kissed that day it doesn't mean I know everything about it! Besides I haven't received any clue or anything that I would be meeting with her again for a talk or anything¨ Ezreal defended himself, after that kiss he got many questions from all of the members of the club, they also wanted to keep that thing a secret for the sake of the blond's privacy, especially if he wanted to take on his crush ¨Anyway you should eat, we have two more periods before the club¨

¨Yeah… I guess¨ Ren sighed and put his stuff away just so he could eat; it wouldn't make a difference writing everything now or later, his theories were still there and by the looks of it those wouldn't abandon his mind for now.

…

After the two periods passed the club reunited again, only this time it was the same three people that were on the park during the battle between the two teams, the rest were on their own clubs or already went home. Ren was the spokesman of this meeting as he was mentioning all of his theories, some of them were accepted while the others were just mere jokes to the other two students.

¨Have you heard yourself?¨ Taliyah laughed ¨While it would make sense the guardians learned how to aim somewhere, don't you think they would be in a gun range rather than the archery club?¨

¨The academy doesn't have a gun club or the sorts, so the best bet would be archery¨

¨That doesn't make sense, none of the members of both team use bows; besides how do we know their powers don't give them the… knowledge of how to fire those weapons?¨ Ezreal countered, once again sinking Reginald's theory.

¨Well… maybe… uh…¨ The president started to go through his notes, trying to counter with another theory ¨Probably they… uh…¨ The boy did nothing but to feel frustrated; even if Riven gave him some information these theories could prove nothing; this also made him think whether the white haired was actually telling him the truth or just playing.

¨Ren come on, don't feel bad. You put effort in these and I'm sure some of them are quite true but right now we are back to square one. If only you could tell us about the person who gave you information, then we might also help you with this… theorycrafting of yours¨

¨I said I can't, I promised not to tell anyone, for my safety and that person's too¨

¨You know we are trustworthy, we are not going to-¨ Ez got interrupted when his phone vibrated, he then put all of his attention to the screen rather than on the conversation he had.

¨He is right, we will remain silent with this; whoever is your contact can be safe that we will not spill any information or any of the sorts, he… or… she will not have any problems¨

¨OH!¨ Ezreal immediately stood up from his chair ¨I-I-I… I.. Lux sent me a message, she wants to talk to me behind the bathroom area near the track course¨

¨Wait… really? What could she want?¨ The other two students looked at each other, this was sudden.

¨I don't know, maybe some help with maths… or… I don't know¨

¨First: You are bad at maths, I often need to help you¨ Ren commenced, trying to keep his friend in the classroom ¨Second what if Lux is actually part of the ASG and she plans to attack you or anything?¨

¨I can defend myself, besides if the Star Guardians are also people from the academy they would help me, right? After all their leader loves me¨ He grinned and walked towards the exit but both Taliyah and Ren blocked his path ¨I will be fine… you worry too much¨

¨Ez, you're my friend, and you should listen to me¨

¨Yeah we don't want to lose you, besides I don't want to be the vice-president of this club if something were to happen to you¨

¨Wait what?¨ Ren immediately turned to Taliyah.

¨Trust me… for once… ok?¨ The blond gently pushed his two club-mates to the side and left the classroom.

It was a moment of silence, Reginald and Taliyah looked at the door for a couple of minutes until they decided their next course of action ¨We are going to follow him, right?¨ He asked and the girl nodded in response.

¨He almost got himself killed during the battle, I trust Lux but I'm also scared that it might be a trap¨

¨Right, let's go¨

…

They gave Ezreal some advantage and tried to follow him without the blond noticing, taking cover behind columns and even trees when they were in the courtyard. Taliyah knew what Lux might be doing but considering there was a war right now between the two teams, the idea of one of the ASG stealing the leader's phone just to lure Ezreal out was one of her theories that she wished it wasn't true.

The two students had to stop their chase the moment Ezreal decided to go into the bathroom, giving them some time to reposition or even to spot any suspicious activity, however Ren decided to do something else.

¨Say… I don't know much about you Taliyah¨

¨So?¨

¨I don't know¨ He shrugged ¨You are part of my club and I want to get to know everyone if possible, I feel like Soph told you a lot of things about me… or maybe not¨

¨You've been friends with her for many years, come from the same school, you like maths and plan to become a scientist in the future, engineering is your second option and flying your third. You like winter and your favorite sport is baseball, too bad the Academy doesn't have a club for it… or an area to practice it´

¨Maybe she told you too much…¨ Ren grunted, keeping his eyes on the bathroom but Ezreal was still inside ¨Probably the lunch… yeah… maybe that's why he takes so long there¨ The brown haired then switched to her partner ¨Well it is clear you know stuff about me… more than I imagined, how about you? Family? Likes? Dislikes?¨

¨Family… that's a hard question¨

¨What? Your parents are divorced?¨

¨More like… I never knew them¨ Reginald widened his eyes ¨I am adopted, or well, my adoptive parents found in a corn field, they took me in and… the rest is history¨

¨You come from a family of farmers?¨

¨Sort of, that family used to live on the city before moving to a farm to have a calm and quiet life. I learned to live like that, to live from the land and all that; had to attend to a rural school until I decided to apply to the Academy. I got accepted but going from the farm to the city would take two hours, maybe three. The whole transportation would take a lot of time so my parents supported me and we moved to the city, and ever since I live in the Shurima district¨

¨Must've been hard to be away from the city¨

¨Not really, I liked the farm, helped my family there. I wouldn't mind returning there, but with my studies the best option is this place. Thankfully I found friends, I am part of a great club and we're also doing stuff that is related to the Star Guardians… sort of¨ Taliyah looked up and saw the blond leaving the bathroom, his hand on his belly ¨There he is… and… not so good it seems¨

¨Maybe he'll think twice not to eat fish here. Come on, he's getting away¨

Eventually their chase led them to the vice-president finding the girl that was waiting for him. The eyes of the two students were fixated here, looking from a safe distance so none of the golden haired would notice them.

¨What do you think is happening?¨

¨They are talking… but if we get close they'll notice…¨ Taliyah slightly looked up and saw something she wouldn't expect at that moment. Above the bathrooms, the dark skinned girl saw two girls, one of them a Yordle with blue hair while the other a human with turquoise hair and wings; she definitely recognized who the latter was and just like them they were spying on the two students on their private meeting ¨Oh no…¨

¨Mh? What what's wrong?¨ Reginald was about to look up but he got distracted by Taliyah.

¨Look at Ez, he's doing something¨

¨I don't see…¨ But in mere seconds all of them saw this. Lux lunged forward and hugged Ezreal so their lips could touch. Taliyah left a happy sigh while Ren was confused ¨Wait… this… could be a problem¨ The girl slightly looked to her side to hear what the president had to say ¨What if the leader of the Star Guardians finds out about this? Ez would be in serious trouble¨

¨I think he'll be fine… Come on, there's nothing else to do here¨

¨Yeah… we're just butting in to a couple's private moment¨ The two students walked away from there and returned to the classroom ¨Taliyah I have been wondering… Are you a Star Guardian?¨

¨No… and even if I was, why would I tell you?¨

¨Just asking…¨

And the true golden-haired couple is now formed, we'll hear more from them in the next chapter since Sophie and Poppy were very close to them. Also I'll try to add more background and bonding between Ren and the rest of the members of the club, of course some will have more background/bonding in the future but that is not a topic to talk right now.

Chapter done, next one will be Sophie and then Heroes & Legens. Right now it's kind of a rest moment in the story as I'm preparing the next conflict for both OCs, but for now, I'm out, hope you have a great weekend and as always

See you in the next chapter ;)
