Adopted Soldier Chapter 14

Chapter 14
"I want a circle that would make my excitement boil with youthful vigor!" Oliver exclaimed what he wanted the circle to be like . Rachel already lost all hope with Oliver so she looked at Alex .
"How about you what kind of circle would you like to create?"
"Before I answer . . . Can you explain to me what a circle is?" When the two heard Alex's answer they almost smacked their faces at the surprising question . 'Don't you know what a circle is? Are you really a student?' Though Oliver was still keeping a cool unperturbed appearance deep inside he was confused as well .
Noticing their weird looks Alex explained his situation . "Before transferring here, I have always been home schooled . This is the first time I have heard of clubs and circles . "
Hearing Alex's timely explanation the two were able to calm down . 'Still I wonder why he would be home schooled until now, and then suddenly attend a public High School?' Rachel had many questions about Alex, but decided not to pry . She decided since they might eventually start dating the secrets they have will slowly be revealed . If she knows the answers to all his mysteries even before they start officially dating, then once they do date it might get boring real quick . As they say a bit of mystery in a couple will help the passion burn longer .
Oliver on the other hand was getting excited . 'A mysterious transfer student that who has been home schooled all his life has suddenly entered a normal high school . Not only that his father is both a martial arts enthusiast and a survival enthusiast . It's like Alex came straight out of a novel, and I'm part of it! Hehehe, there actually might be hidden implications in Alex's transfer . '
As Oliver was going deep into his delusions, Rachel started explaining what Circles where .
"Circles are a gathering of like minded individuals to well . . . Basically they just gather to have fun doing what interest them . "
"Then what's the difference between a club and a circle?"
"A club is a more serious and bigger organization . The clubs are also supported by the school and given funds to operate . Since a club can bring more prestige to the school, and majority of them join tournaments and a percentage of their winnings if they ever win are given to the school . "
"Then why don't we create a club instead?"
"Like I said you need at least five members to create a club, you would also need a teacher to be the supervisor of the club . Not only that, you need to explain to the Student Council how your club will benefit the school . So all in all in our current state it's better to simply make a circle, and if we ever expand then we just upgrade our circle into a club . "
"That does sound like a good plan . "
After explaining everything to Alex, Rachel looked at him and asked one more time . "So Alex what kind of Circle should we create?"
'It really doesn't matter what kind of circle is created as long as I can do my mission, all other things become unnecessary . . . ' Alex's thoughts were cut off when he saw Oliver's expectant look, as well as Rachel's hidden excitement . 'Is those things really unnecessary? I could try to have fun with them . . . Yah if I have fun with them then they wont suspect me, and find out anything regarding the mission . ' Alex couldn't notice the subtle changes in his thinking, but slowly and surely he was changing .
"Like I said it doesn't matter what kind of Circle is created, as long as I can stay by your side it's enough . " Alex said so with his indifferent tone of voice, he looked at Rachel with his emotionless face, which made him look like he was always serious . Rachel who once again heard the same cheesy line felt goosebumps, but when she saw Alex's calm looking face as he said those lines so seriously she felt her heart beating faster .
The two were staring at each other's eyes, the people who saw this misunderstood the situation as the two created a world of their own . Rachel was having girlish romantic thoughts as she stared at Alex's deep dark eyes, she felt things she couldn't understand 'is this love?' Rachel wasn't sure what the answer was but she continued to look at Alex's mesmerizing eyes .
Alex on the other hand was staring at Rachel to see if it was possible to place a tracking device onto her eyes . Once Alex had concluded that it was impossible and inefficient to place a tracking device on Rachel's eyes, he noticed that Rachel had long eyelashes . Some of the eyelashes seem to be fake, while the others were real .
When the people passing by their table notice the group of handsome young men and a beautiful girl they wondered what the three were doing . One of them, the bigger boy was smiling as he dazedly looked out the window, the girl and the boy who were sitting face to face were staring at each other's eyes .
Rachel finally snapped out of it and dryly coughed twice . Oliver was also put out of his daze when Rachel kicked him from under the table .
"We still haven't decided what kind of Circle we should make . You guys are no help at all, both of your ideas are so vague . " Rachel sighed as she kept going back to the point that they had no idea of what kind of Circle they should create .
"Why not start a self defense enthusiast circle?" Oliver suggested, Rachel looked at him like she was looking at a fool, but after thinking for a moment Rachel's expression changed .
"You know that can actually work . Self defense doesn't just revolve around martial arts, there are many ways to defend oneself, researching the different ways to defend oneself might actually be interesting . " Rachel was being affected by Oliver's enthusiasm .
"So what say you comrade?"
"If Rachel is joining then of course I will . " Oliver shrugged at Alex's answer, was he really that love struck by the girl? Oliver didn't bother with the thought anymore and decided that this was also part of their youth .
