Chapter 818: Chapter 3- Rika – Touring Campus (VOLUME 5)

Rika

~~

It had been three days since our graduation party. Reagan and I were going to be starting our classes at university in just six days, and right now, we were taking part in the freshman tour of the campus. It was us and a group of the other freshmen. And a good chunk of this group was made up of people that I had known my whole life. Levi, Luka, Alyssa, Alexa, Cypress, Beech, Ashle, Ilana, Rowan and lastly my cousin Elias. They were all here with us and about eight other people that were touring the campus as well. With the twenty of us, there were four tour guides.

I was excited to see this campus and what it was like. This was the school that my mom and dad had gone to when they were younger. Or as Reagan would joke once in a while, back in the age of the dinosaurs and cavemen. I know he was referring to that super old cartoon that Móraí had shown us when we were little. It was something like the ‘Flintrocks’ or something like that. It had Flint in it, that was all I could remember. If I had Talia’s memory I would know it right away, but it didn’t matter.

No, what did matter today was that I was meeting other people. People that hadn’t gone to the supernatural school in Trinity Falls with us. People that I hadn’t literally known my entire life.

I had told my mom once that I didn’t want to experience my dad rejecting my boyfriends when I was growing up. In truth, it was just that I wasn’t attracted to anyone in school because I had known them all for so long. Now though, I was ready to have a boyfriend, even if he wasn’t my mate. I just wanted to start living a normal life and not the life of a princess.

…..

There were a couple guys in the group that were with us today. Three of them to be exact. And while I was ready for a boyfriend, that didn’t mean that I was going to be picking him from this group. I didn’t know them for one thing, and for two, they were definitely humans. Well, at least they all seemed to smell like they were humans. That meant that I would need to be careful with them. And unless they were my mates, I shouldn’t date humans. That would just break their hearts when I did find my mate.

Just because I didn’t expect to end up dating any of these guys, that didn’t mean that Reagan and I couldn’t be friends with them. It was always fine to have more friends. That was why, as I walked around with Alyssa, Alexa, Ilana and Ashle, we were talking about befriending as many people in our group as possible. Including our upperclassmen that were showing up around.

The guides were twenty year old Justin, twenty-one year old Grant, twenty year old Olivia and twenty year old Penny. They were all nice and seemed to really like this school. Those in our freshmen group were Aloisius, Clovio, Gunnar, Armina and Lovisa who were all from Germany. There was also Evelyn, Harper and Macy who were also in our group, and they were more local. And by local I mean that they were all from Colorado, but not from within the city. All of them would be living in the dorms on campus, so that was one of the stops that we were making. We weren’t going to be exploring every dormitory, but we would be seeing how they were all typically set up.

While we continued to walk through the campus, the three guys from Germany kept looking over at me and my friends. I could tell that they were wanting to talk to us, but they probably felt self-conscious about it. Or so I thought.

After looking over at me for a minute or two, one of them broke away. I didn’t remember which one he was, but he was kind of cute. He was on the tall side, maybe around six feet tall. He was shorter than Reagan, but taller than me of course. I was only around five feet seven inches tall. I was taller than my mom at least. And even though I was tall compared to the humans, I was on the shorter side for the wolves.

The boy that came over to me though, he had dark hair like mine and some pretty nice green eyes. He looked like he had worked out a lot in his life because he had a lot of muscles, but I was used to buff looking men. They trained a lot at the castle.

“Hallo, there. My friends and I couldn’t help but think that you are so beautiful. Are you perhaps a model?” The guy was looking right at me when he spoke, so I knew who he was talking to. That left me speechless for a moment. I couldn’t believe that he just said that. And that accent, it was so thick. Thicker than Uncle Dietrich’s accent. Then again, Uncle Dietrich was almost five hundred and fifty years old, so he has had a long time to lose his accent.

“No, I am not a model.” I blushed a little despite myself. I can’t believe that I was letting his words get to me like that.

“Oh, well you should be. I think you are the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life. Meeting you here like this makes me know that I am going to enjoy my days here in America.” He grinned at me then, revealing his perfectly straight and sparklingly bright white smile. He was very good looking, in a sort of boyish way. Even though his face was slender and lean, it was soft and sweet as well. He was like the perfect mixture of a man and a boy. Though, I had a feeling that he would lose that boyishness over time, but for now, it was working for him.

“I will keep that in mind.” I laughed at the idea of it. I never once even thought about it, and I never would, but it was nice hearing that from someone.

“My name is Clovio Mathias. It is lovely to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you as well, Clovio. My name is-.”

“Rika! Hurry up.” Clovio and I had stopped walking while we talked, which had caused the group to get a little ahead of us. Because of that, my brother took it upon himself to call out to me and embarrass me in front of a new friend.

“Ahh, Rika is your name. That is a name from my country. Did you know that?” Clovio smiled at me but then turned to look at Reagan who was glaring at us. “Is that your boyfriend?”

“Oh, God no!” I said it so fast and so vehemently that I made Clovio laugh. “That is my twin brother, Reagan.”

“Ha ha, well Rika, I think that your brother is waiting for you. Shall we go?” He didn’t offer his hand or anything, not that I would have taken it, but he was waiting for me like he was going to walk me back to the group that was waiting on us.

“Yes, I think we should. Before we lose the group entirely.”

Together, Clovio and I rejoined the group and listened in as best as we could. While doing that though, we started to talk about lots of different things. I found out that he, along with all the others from Germany, were from an orphanage that had received a special stipend to send their children that were never adopted to different colleges. While living here in the United States, they were going to be working on becoming permanent citizens and living here when they graduated. It was nice of the benefactor to do that for them.

I didn’t talk much about myself. I did talk to him just a little about the family, but not who or what my family really was. I didn’t tell him that I was a princess. I didn’t tell him that I was part werewolf, Fae, and witch. I didn’t tell him that my mother and father were a goddess and a god. I couldn’t tell him any of that because he wouldn’t believe me. Or he would think that I was crazy.

I did, however, tell him that my family name was Gray. I told him that I had a lot of siblings, so I knew what it was like to grow up in a house full of kids. I expressed my sadness that he had to be without parents and that he didn’t get to have that happy childhood.

Despite the hardships that Clovio had obviously experienced as he grew up, he didn’t seem to let it get to him. He seemed happy and very easygoing. He was also quick with a laugh and a joke. I actually found that he was quite funny. And, well, I think that I did like him a little bit. He was definitely interesting. If he just wasn’t a human, then he could be on the list for my first boyfriend.

I didn’t have anything against dating humans, like I said. I just didn’t want to be in a relationship with one, to fall in love with one, or to have one fall in love with me, only to find my true mate and end up leaving them. It wasn’t fair to them. It would just hurt them for no reason at all.
