The Game of Pride

The sudden words of Xavier made Raylan come out of his thoughts.

“Wait, what did you say?”

“Raylan Are you okay? Did you feel sick? Why are you acting so weird?” Xavier put his hands all over Raylan’s face as he shoots questions totally forgetting the topic they were discussing.

“Xav, what are you doing? Leave me I am fine.” Raylan said.

“No you are not fine. See You smiled; You procrastinate; you are totally out of mind. Wait what ‘Xav’?” Xavier replied.

On seeing how he behaved Jamie and Edward who were highly confused of Xavier’s behaviour understood that he just expressed the astonishment that they too have.

They laughed out loud. Raylan also can’t hold his laugh on seeing expression on Xavier’s face.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” all laughed out loud till their stomach hurts.

Xavier couldn’t get what they are laughing at.

“Huh???” is the only expression that he gave.

“Mmmmhmmm”, Raylan cleared his throat, trying hard to control his laugh and get a breathe.

Xavier get that they are making fun of him. But he couldn’t get what they are making fun of.

“I know these devils mock me. But Raylan Why you too joined hands with them?”, Xavier asked with cute face

“Xav, you are indeed innocent like an angel with pure heart. Don’t you…...”

“Look I am an Angel. You guess are just too evil that you actually mistreated this angel.”

None of them can take a grasp of how his concerns changes. Even Jamie and Edward, who were with Xavier for past Two years, can’t get this one yet.

All smirked.

“Raylan???? Are you on my side or on the side of them. Is this also a plan to mock me.”

“No dear Xav, did you let me finish off what I was saying?”

He shook his head rapidly.

“Then listen to me completely.”

Everyone started to listen carefully.

“Why so serious? Relax I will not eat you out.

Things are Like this.

First, Xav, I am sincere with the words That I say.

But regarding all the other matters, you have to play the game” He winked his eyes and speard a wicked smile in his lips.

“wahhh, I don’t get a good feel about it?” Edward screamed.

“Me too” The others agreed.

“I already decided on who goes first. It’s Xav.”

“Hah!! What first?”

“Did you forget the game Xavier?” Jamie questioned. “Or don’t tell me your prideful brain lost track of the purpose of us gathering around the table.”

“No No No, I remember…”

“Then Tell me what are we gonna do?”, Edward teased.

“Umm, We… That…”

“What?” Both Jamie and Edward Questioned him all together.

“If he Zoned out don’t you guys know? Come you tell me.” Raylan turned the table around towards them.”

“See, God had sent my Guardian Angel.”

“You are not also allowed to sneak. Tell…”

“That…”, Edward

“Huhh”, Jamie

“Go on………”, Raylan

“Is this a trial run? Why are you so serious and this strict?”, Xavier.

“Simple… Draw a picture”, Jamie started. Edward and Xavier followed.

“Let others guess”, Edward

“Who answers correctly can ask question to the one who drawn”, Xavier

“If answered wrong”, Jamie

“anyone can pick a choice based penalty”, Xavier

“You have to do either one of it.”, Edward.

“I thought you guys are clumsy. But you are not even if you are all playful.”

“That’s just to have fun.”, Xavier.

“We can’t always be serious, Aloof in life.”, Edward.

“After all, we are humans and we have one life. Life is all about having fun in living it.”, Jamie

“I will just add one more condition to it… The one who ask the highest number of question will be considered as the leader of the dorm… others have to follow his rules. The one who gets a lot of penalty will do all the chores of the dorm for a month from today.”

“It is making this game more interesting. Huhooo, I am gonna get my revenge on you guys…..” Xavier exclaimed on pointing to Jamie and Edward.

“You are still clinging to that point” All three said at the same time.

“If no objection, Xavier Start.”, Raylan said.
