A/N: I am so sorry I can't do any episodes for this book. I intended to do episodes but I could not find any place to watch them effectively. I am really sorry for those wanting more chapters. This will be skipped ahead to the after the last episode.
"You know it feels weird not having to be constantly called to quarton because of some emergency." Alexis says as she is sitting with the boys in the park.
"Yeah. But hey I'm not gonna complain." Chooki says happily.
"At least now we can finally relax a bit." Toxsa says peacefully as he is laying back on the grass.
"True but there's always gonna be threats." Guren says as Alexis nods.
"But we'll face them together." Alexis says confidently.
"You know you don't have to hang around us anymore if you don't want to." Ceylan says as Alexis looks at him.
"Huh? What are you talking about Ceylan?" Alexis asks curiously.
"Well I mean the whole reason you met us was to help us get to be a better team to protect Quarton. Yeah you've been a good friend but you still act a bit distant from us. I don't understand why. I mean we know everything about you now." Ceylan says as Alexis gives an offended look.
"Excuse me!? What exactly are you getting at?" Alexis asks offended.
"I'm just saying if you don't wanna be friends with us or pretend to be you're welcome to leave." Ceylan says as he looks away from Alexis.
"Ceylan!" Guren shouts as the three other boys look at Ceylan.
"Oh so you thought me working my butt off to help you four was me protecting to be your friend!?" Alexis asks angrily.
"Yeah I mean.." Ceylan says unworriedly.
"I can't believe you! After everything I've went through with you four." Alexis says angrily as she stands up.
"Ceylan that was rude. Alexis wouldn't have stuck around if she didn't wanna be friends with us." Chooki says angrily as he looks Ceylan.
"But do we really know that for sure?" Ceylan says as Alexis looks at him shocked before looking away in anger.
"Why you! Ugh! Just forget! You wanna act like that Ceylan then fine! I guess we really are not friends after all Ceylan Jones. I don't know what has gotten into you but you're not the person I thought you were or the person I cared about." Alexis says angrily while trying to hide her sadness.
"Wait what? Alexis wait!" Ceylan says as he goes to get up.
"Forget it! Just leave me alone!" Alexis shouts as she runs off.
*Timeskip*
"Men. Such infuriating creatures. I can't believe I fell for him. That was a mistake." Alexis says angrily as she is pacing back and forth in an alley.
"Alexis?" A voice asks revealing to be Chooki.
"Chooki?.. Uh how much of that did you hear?" Alexis asks nervously as Chooki walks over.
"All of it. Are you okay?" Chooki asks as he looks at Alexis concerned.
"I don't know... I just.. I wish I knew why he said that." Alexis says sadly as he keeps her eyes looking down.
"Well he shouldn't of said it to begin with. It was wrong." Chooki says protectively.
"Do you think I was just pretending to be your friend Chooki?" Alexis asks sadly.
"What? No! I know you weren't. Look I don't know what got into Ceylan but he was wrong." Chooki says.
"It hurt so bad Chooki. I felt like my heart just got ripped out of my chest by Ceylan." Alexis says as she begins crying causing Chooki to immediately pull her into a hug.
"How long have you felt that way about him?" Chooki asks.
"Since back when he stood up for me that one day against Gen. Back when Gen first came to our school." Alexis says as she feels Chooki rubbing her back.
"Well that explains why you would act the way you would around him. Does he know?" Chooki asks as Alexis looks at him.
"No. I don't want him to know now. Not ever. Not after what he just said. I don't care if I ever speak to or see Ceylan again right now." Alexis says harshly while pulling away from Chooki.
"Well I can't change what he said but I can offer you company for the night. Do you wanna stay with me at my house? You seem like you could use a shoulder to cry on." Chooki says as Alexis nods.
"Please.. but can you do something for me?" Alexis asks as Chooki looks at her.
"What?" Chooki asks curiously.
"If he comes asking about me tell him I don't want to speak to him. He was clear how he saw me. Now he can live with it." Alexis says coldly.
"I can do that. It's clear he needs give you space anyway." Chooki says as he placed a hand on Alexis's shoulder.
"Thanks Chooki. I'm glad to have you as a best friend." Alexis says as she smiles softly at Chooki who smiles back at her.
"Come on. Let's head to my house. I'm sure my mom will be getting dinner cooked soon." Chooki says as Alexis nods and follows him.
