Chapter 3: Strange Encounter

"It's fine but you got quite a tough push there", said the man as he chuckled. His voice sounded amiable and a bit flirty? Huh? Zafyra stared at the green eyed man and couldn't help but feel a bit deja vu. The man was good looking indeed he had this vibe to him that made her feel...nostalgic? Why though?

The man had brown curly hair that stuck up at the top but on sides he had a fade. He had a very defined jawline and round red lips. He had a great physic overall. He was skinny and muscular. He was tall and knew how to dress well. He was wearing light blue jean shorts with a white shirt. He had white shoes on and a black watch on his left arm. He had sunglasses but they just seemed to dangle on the collar of his shirt. Overall he looked like a perfect man.

'How boring' she thought. 'He's probably just another player. I just like Arianna said 'Thank you, next' wow that song is stuck on my head I really gotta play it again.' As he was still staring, he gave her his million dollar smile that showed his nice white teeth. However, her eyes seemed to drift away from his gaze over all. She looked past him which made him think she was disinterested which in fact was true.

Just before the man was about to say something she smiled politely and walked past him. Zafyra naturally had a stunning face but what made people pay more attention to her today, was that swollen cheek of hers. The man saw her earlier walk into the store and she caught his attention. He was confused in how such a stunning beauty looked like she got in a fight. IN. THE. MORNING. Huh? She had very pretty hair but right at this moment it was messy and not to mention her smooth white cheek was swollen with a visible purple bruise on it. He decided to follow her and see what she was getting and just as he thought, she bought items that could disguise that swollen cheek of hers. He saw her walk away and couldn't bother but be fascinated with her.

He followed her secretly behind her and he never thought that a day would come when he was the one doing the 'stalking'. Usually it was the other way around slowly his pride got hurt but oh well. He saw her walk to her car and open her grey door. She sat in it, turned on the car and she opened her supplies while holding the popsicle to her cheek. She suddenly looked panicked from afar and he saw her talking on her cellphone. She put on a big smile and said in a high pitched cheery voice," Whaaaaaaat's uuuuuuup Jezza! Ima be a bit late so I hope you can hold up for a couple of 10 minutes alone bro. I know how lonely you can get with out me so I'll be speeding to the location!" she teased.

"Okay spit it out. What happened? Did she hit you again? Damnit ZyZy, I told you to at least try to dodge the attacks but I bet you just stood there frozen! Ok whatever just come quick and we'll talk about it when you get here" said Jezza concerned. He already knew that whenever she made that really high pitched 'cheery' voice something must have happened to her. Nobody could understand Zafyra more than her best friend Jezza, in fact they were probably meant to be best friends because they shared the same pain. Trauma.

Zafyra frowned knowing that Jezza caught on early and so she instantly set the car to drive. From afar the man still looked at her with captivation, decided to not think further into it. But why did she look familiar? He walked back into the small convenience store and bought the small fruit gelatins he always liked. He walk out of the store after paying the lady and walked into his white porche and drove away.

Zafyra finally made it to her destination. She called it "The Course Of Embarrassment" she called it this mainly because her friends always embarrassed themselves one way or another. If it wasn't because of their skills, it was probably because their parents treated them like little kids. She loved seeing their parents love them and pinching their cheeks while recalling embarrassing stories. Although she felt slightly envious, obviously joy for her best friends overcame it.

The place was a big mansion. As a matter of fact, her best friends parents were all rich. I mean it would make sense how a famous underworld group is rich. Especially, since some of them actually started their own businesses which only made them richer as they succeeded. Her best friends lived in the same poor neighborhood as her but that was to protect them from any danger. And also because their parents wanted to teach their kids what it meant to live in the hardships of life. Being members of Hades had its advantages and disadvantages. For starters they were feared which meant power but on the downside they also had many enemies. Therefore, in order to protect their loved ones, they decided to send them to live in a family friendly neighborhood.

The mansion was big, I mean we're talking about private property with a gate and a fountain in the middle of the driveway, big. Zafyra never expected for the house to be this big the first time she came here. She knew that this was one of the private properties they owned as a team it wasn't even their individual houses. The mansion had many rooms and it was visible from the outside. It had huge windows in the living room but you couldn't see anything from the outside in. The mansion had 3 sections. The first was the rooms, which took up a lot of space. The second was the kitchen with living rooms and dining rooms. The third section was where she needed to go. It was the course section meaning where all the courses took place. They had a shooting rink in there combined with a fighting rink. With that there was also a computer lab where basically all the hacking was done. Then they had other rooms for fitness, like a gym and a pool. The third section was obviously the biggest section. The house layout was like a peninsula, with three sides connected with the backyard and lake.

Zafyra got out of the car and walked towards the third section after she quickly checked that her cheek was concealed up. In fact, she almost looked normal again because the swelling had gone down and the bruise was covered up. She walked straight into a regular room with just a table. She saw her best friends fidgeting and she chuckled at the sight of them.

"Now now my dear friends calm down. I'm pretty sure this time y'all would surely ace the 'test' this time. What could go wrong? Besides y'all had me teach ya the skills for months. Just chill and do what you know and you'll be good kay!" Zafyra encouraged with a thumbs up. "Oh and later we'll definitely have a match together you know y'all could definitely need a stress relief! So we'll go to that famous H.S.O.G's turf field! Huh? That sounds good right!"

They all looked tense but suddenly relaxed at the way they thought of playing on that rich soccer turf field. Then suddenly Nate said,"ok that sounds good but like what happened to you?"
