Chapter 40 - James And Jeffrey Attending Royal Academy.

Just as they were walking into the living room where everything was set for the live stream, Ava walked in with a face mask on, wearing pajamas with bunny prints. She was on the way to the mini kitchen to grab a drink when she saw them enter the living room.

"AHHHH!!!!" She screamed in panic before turning around to run back to her room still screaming from the top of her lungs…

The members of EXODUS and Pearl were all stunned and unable to utter a word. With Ava's loud scream that everyone in the villa heard loud and clear, Akira, still wearing the clothes as when they had dinner, came out of her room with a frown on her face.

Chupsy and Pisces who just finished getting ready for bed came running out as well wearing only robes on top of their nightwear. Both stopped as soon as they saw the five young men in their living room and a whole bunch of lighting and a camera. Chupsy already knew what was happening, Pearl was planning on doing a live stream with the EXODUS members for her followers.

While shaking her head from left to right, she put her two hands on Pisces' shoulder and ushered her back to their room.

"Don't ask, it's a very long story. Let's just change our clothes first, I don't think those young men wanted to see us in our nightgowns." Chupsy bantered while still pushing Pisces as they walked back to their room.

Akira's face was unreadable, they couldn't tell if she was mad or what. She did however have a scowl plastered on her face, but she was mainly staring at all the lighting and the camera that was set up for a live stream.

After a moment she turned to look at Pearl, "Girl!!! Please, don't tell me that you're planning to do a live stream with EXODUS and you didn't even bother telling us?"

Pearl quickly went to Akira and hugged her, "Sister... I'm so sorry! I was so excited that Brian promised they would come for the live stream that I forgot to tell you and Ava." Her eyes suddenly widened when she remembered Ava.

"Oh! Ava! Excuse me for a moment guys! Let me just talk to Ava for a moment." Said Pearl to the boys while walking towards Ava's room.

She didn't even bother knocking on Ava's door. She just opened the door and walked right in. Ava was nowhere around. She walked toward the bathroom door. This time she didn't just open the bathroom door. Instead, she decided to knock first, because of course, she respected Ava's privacy.

"Knock! Knock! Ava, I'm sorry!!! It's Pearl! Please, open the door!" She was whispering as she made her apology hoping that Ava would open the door.

It worked because not a moment passed, the door opened and Ava was a changed person, she was now wearing loose jeans and a loose long sleeve shirt, the face mask was gone, while her hair was in a ponytail and she came out looking like the 13-year old that she was...

Meanwhile, back in Japan. James had an earnest talk with his parents in regards to Ava Go. He was about to leave in a week to start attending the Royal Academy. However, he didn't want his sister Akira to know, and especially Ava Go. He still didn't have the guts to face her, and he wasn't sure if she was ready to meet him either.

"But, how are you going to do that when you are attending the same school? Although Royal Academy is enormous, there's a really high chance you will run into them one of these days. What are you going to do if that happens?" Asked Ashley while holding her son's hands.

Ashley had no idea that Tanaga and James had already made an agreement back then that Ashton would be the one that would marry Ava when the time came. What she knew was that it was James who was still betrothed to Ava. That's why she was adamant for James to get to know Ava while attending the same school as her.

Ashley figured that this was the best opportunity for the two to get close, and who knew... they might grow to like or even love each other in the end. But, from the look of James, he wasn't interested at all. That suddenly made her think that they might not end up together.

Tanaga was only sitting there listening to the mother and son. He didn't have the heart to tell his wife that James is no longer betrothed to Ava. Also, the last time he and Jeff had spoken about the agreement, they agreed to let the children decide when the time came. So they actually had no plans to pursue the matter any longer.

"Alright, if ever I run across her, then I will properly introduce myself. However, I'm not going out of my way to meet her. Mom, you have to understand that I'm almost an adult while she's still a teenager. So what would we have in common? Plus, it wouldn't be good for her reputation if anyone found out that she's already engaged. Her high school life would be ruined," Argued James while his face was void of any emotions.

Tanaga nodded and applauded his son silently. He could not say it any better if it were him speaking. James indeed took after him in many ways.

"Sweetheart! Just let it be. James is smart, and he knows what he needs to do when he gets there. Let it go! By the way, did I mention to you that Jeff and Ann are planning on sending young Jeffrey there as well? The boy was complaining about why Ava could go and he couldn't. Poor Jeff had to call King Alexander and pull some strings once more to let his son attend." Said Tanaga while grinning from ear to ear.

He knew how much his best friend Jeff hated to ask for favors. And he was no different... They would do anything for their children, even if it kill them...

Tanaga did it on purpose to let James hear that Ava's twin brother would be attending Royal Academy as well.
