~~Chapter 4~~

They both arrived at their university. they entered their classroom where the lecture was going to be held. As they entered the classroom a group of girls were waving their hands while George who was almost squashed by those  girls waved his hand to Steven,"Steve* come and sit with me." Steven walked towards George and Raymond also followed him.

*A/N- Steven is usually called by the name Steve while Raymond is called by the name Ray.

Steven nodded and Raymond followed him. George waved at Raymond too while the latter offered a smile. On One side of Raymond, Steven and George were sitting while the other side was covered by a bunch of fan girls. After they settled at their place, Lacy came. She went towards Steven," Don't you think you should sit behind Raymond?"

Steven shrugged and went to sit behind Raymond. George as always was angry that he was about to burst but since it will do harm to Steven his best friend he kept his anger in and went to sit behind Raymond with Steven. Raymond looked behind him to see why Steven moved behind. lacy always say things like this in a low voice to Steven and someone who is so close to him like George so that Raymond can't hear her

.

The lecture had begin but George was getting bored. He opened a blank page in his notebook and wrote 'Steve I'm bored.' and showed it Steven

Steven wrote back in George's book, 'Be quiet and focus.'

'But I'm already being quiet' George made a pout

'Shut up and Focus.'

'Steven can you explain this to me later?'

'you don't understand this? Are you stupid it is so simple'

'Yes I'm stupid.' This time George nodded

'Okay'

'Steven.....'

'What now?' Steven eyed him.

'i'm hungry' George wrote back again with one hand on his stomach.

'Are you a monster? How can you eat so much? I remember when I entered the class you were eating chips.'

Steven let out a sigh while moving his shoulders a bit. George seeing this let out a small chuckle. This chuckle gained attention from Raymond who as sitting in front of George.

Raymond thought to himself ,'Why is he chuckling? There is no else sitting besides him so I'm sure it was because of Steven. Did Steven say something or even do something to make him chuckle like this?' Raymond's thought was now all focused on Steven and George. He couldn't focus on his studies anymore. He wanted to ask Steven wat happened but can't as the lecture was still going on. He was now getting annoyed so he stated fidgeting with his pen. While George and Steven went back to their studies

Finally the lecture ended. Raymond sighed. All his fan girls have already gone away. Raymond turned around to ask Steven," What did you say to George that he was chuckling? " Steven was taken aback with Raymond's question because George always does this writing thing with Steven and in the end laughs it off but Raymond has never asked Steven about it.  Steven tilted his head ," Oh! Nothing much. George is just playing around."George was looking at Steven who has now started to speak more words recently. In the past It was rare to hear Steven speak a word but now he can even hear him speak a sentence.

As the lecture was over Raymond decided to go out so Lacy followed him clinging to his arm. Steven followed him due to his duty while George was walking besides Steven as a best friend. All four of them went out of the lecture room and entered the canteen to grab some drinks. As Raymond was buying some drinks for himself and Lacy, he felt that he should buy some for Steven too. Raymond turned behind to ask Steven what he likes but George had already bought a Drink for Steven. Seeing this he was very sad.

Steven was standing away from George as he  was paying the bill for their drinks. George was going back to Steven then a girl came rushing towards him and pushed him down and ran away while shouting," sorry." as George was falling down someone grabbed him by his waist. George looked up to see who it was and found out it was Nate who was standing with his sister Kate but still holding on his waist.

**Nate and Kate are Step siblings of Raymond. They always stay close to each other. Nate is of Same age as Raymond while Kate is one year younger than him. Nate and Kate are nice to Raymond and does not considers him as Half brother but as a blood brother and Raymond does the same. But in the main villa of Reed family or in front of his Step mother he tries to avoid them as much as he can in the view of the fact that they will be in trouble if they talked with him. But he is nice to them anywhere else and Nate and Kate also understands Raymond's feelings and understands why he avoids them at their house. **

**Nate and Kate also treats Steven nicely but n in front of their mother and father.  They also know Lacy and George. **

Nate was still holding on to George's waist even if George is Standing properly now. George was feeling a bit awkward now,"Umm... Nate you can let go now." Nate looked into George's eyes and uttered a 'Mn' Then he slightly squeezed his waist and let it go. George gave Nate 'What was that for?' look  which Nate returned with a smirk.

Steven worried about his friend ran towards George," You okay?" George nodded,"yeah"

Raymond came  towards Steven and George. Nate waved at Raymond,"Hi! Raymond and Steven you too." Steven just gave a slight nod while Raymond,"Hi Nate and Kate you too." Kate who was silent all time said,"Brother would you like to eat with us?" Raymond gave her a smile,"Sorry Kate we have lecture in 10 minutes." Kate gave him a displeased look. Nate then patted Kate's head,"We will eat with him next time." Kate looked at Raymond,"Sure Kate let's eat next time together."

George still thinking why Nate Squeezed his waist was interrupted when Steven said,"George what are you thinking? Let's go. The class is about to begin." George snapped out of it and saw Raymond already walking towards their class with lacy while Nate and Kate sat on the table in the canteen,"yeah sorry. Let's go."
