Chapter 2 - "Aquarium"

"So thank you for today's lunch Ken, it meant a lot to me, and it was very nice to meet you" said June smiled carrying her shoulder bag, and ready to leave

"Wait where do you live, I can take you home?" ask Kenneth trying to stop June

"Actually I'm not going home, I'm about to walk around here, looking for ideas" said June smiled at him, trying to hide the fact is she ran away from home

"Are you sure, you're seems like you don't know where to go?" said Kenneth staring at her

"No I do actually, thanks for the offering" said June smiled and leaving him standing there alone

While walking in a crowd, June started to sit down and check her cellphone, the battery was almost dead, so she went to a place to plug in her charger cable there.

"Well, after my stomach is full, it's my phone's turn to be hungry..., where can I charge my phone for free?" muttered June while looking at the crowded place

She walked to a free charging place in the public park, but there's a man who is trying to get there too, seeing that she rushed herself there to charge her already dying phone.

"Shit, he shouldn't get there first" muttered June running in the middle of the crowded park, and yet she's still late, the man got it first

"Are you alright?" ask the man to her, staring at her that looked very exhausted

"Yeah, I am actually, how long does your phone take to charge until full?" ask June head tilt at the phone

"I'm taking this for 10 minutes, I have an upcoming practice" reply the man to her

"Alright I'm waiting, I need to charge too, my phone is literally dying" said June standing next to the man smiled awkwardly

"Would you like to have a seat, I'm Joshua Marshall, call me Josh" said the man introducing himself, Joshua Marshall

"I'm June Sawyer, sure I do love too" said June introduce herself too, and take a seat at the public bench

"June Sawyer, you have a pretty name" praised Joshua to June smiling

"Thanks, you're the first person to say this, and I appreciate it" reply June awkwardly to him

June was sitting on the bench, confused as to why people kept staring at her and Joshua, who were talking in the middle of the crowd in the park.

"Is it me, or you also noticed that people have been staring at us all this time." said June looking at the crowds

"Yeah they always stare at me like this, I'm used to it" reply Joshua to her gave the crowd a wave

"Are you a star?" ask June confused

"Not technically, I'm a tennis athlete, I'm having a practice in 10 minutes, and I'm charging my phone right now" reply Joshua casually to June while smiling at people in the crowd

"What happened to me today, having lunch with an athlete, and now suddenly sitting with another athlete" muttered June awkwardly smiling staring at the crowd too

"I didn't know you're famous, how long have you been a tennis athlete?" ask June curious about it

"I started training when I was 10 years old, and entered a football athlete academy at the age of 15, and now I'm 23." said Joshua to June

"You're definitely skilled" praised June shocked a little after hearing the information

"And what's your job Miss Sawyer?" ask Joshua to her

"Right now I'm doing nothing actually, but I'm planning to become a writer" reply June to the same question that Kenneth did ask her about earlier too

"It's actually amazing to meet a future star here too, I'm glad to be this earlier" said Joshua smiled at her

"You are a great charming praiser, it is natural that many of your fans are captivated" said June stared at him

"Are you interested in tennis?" ask Joshua to her curious

"I didn't, but I think I will actually get into it, because of you" reply June to him

"So you're charmed too, I'm glad, looks like I have to go soon, you can come tomorrow for my match, I'll give you a free pass, you can see the location on social media, it was nice to meet you" said Joshua walked away while carrying his phone

June was stunned, today she was lucky enough to be offered a free lunch, and now a free ticket to a tennis match, even though that place is known as a sport for the rich.

"It was actually weird to have all the best things happen in a day, there must be something wrong" muttered June plugged in her phone to charge

...Evening, Courtyard, Carolstrings Hotel...

"Starting a little faster today, are you nervous about tomorrow?" said a man in a suit walked in

"Did you get any information about her?" ask Kenneth to the man in suit while holding his tennis racket, it turned out he was a tennis athlete too

"Yes I did, but it's not that important compared to your match tomorrow" said the man in suit to him

"Can you tell me about her while I'm doing my practice?" ask Kenneth staring at the man in suit

"Yeah sure, so I actually search on her social life too, others than background" said the man in suit sitting in the audience seats, while Kenneth starting to hit the tennis ball, by the auto machine

"Tell me everything that you know about her" said Kenneth hitting the tennis ball

"She lives with her mother Ammy Sawyer, and her brother Jaden Sawyer, her father Ronald Sawyer has long since divorced her mother, and she comes from a lower class family because her Ammy was a single mother."

"She's just turned 22, and unemployed, she had a job before, but she quit for a reason wanted to develop a business" read the man in suit to Kenneth

"And her social life, she had no friends, she was all alone by herself, having no one, but she got an ex though" said the man in the suit

"Who's the guy, are they still in contact?" asked Kenneth, take a break for a moment and staring at the man in the suit

"Andrew Baker, no he has a new girlfriend after breaking up with Barbara Rink, a socialite and model" said the man in the suit

"Alright that's it" said the man in the suit, kept the paper inside the training bag and leaving Kenneth in the courtyard practicing alone
