LUS – Chapter 2.3 – Elijah Holmes Act 2 – Renegades

	"Come on!" Breston called out to me as we walked through the
airport. Mom and Brandon were up near Breston, while I slowly sauntering my
way through. "Elijah! Dude come on!"

	Mom turned around. "Elijah, you need to hurry up. We still need to
get passed security." She gave me her serious face, so I sped up and kept
up. Mom only gives one warning before she gets super mad.

	I hate the idea of leaving my life behind. All my stuff is in a
moving van... who knows where that is. All I have is my suitcase, which I
left with some stranger to get it on the plane, and my backpack. At least I
have my laptop.

	The wait for security was so stupid. It took forever just to get
there and then I had to take up three of the bins. One for my laptop,
another for my backpack and one for everything else. Kill me.

	As we were getting out of security, I saw an older boy with what
looked like grandparents. His blonde hair was so blonde it could be
white. One side of his bangs hung right down to his chin and just perfectly
worked with his amber eyes. He has suspenders and a tie on over his white
dress shirt and blue skinny jeans.

	"Wow..."

	Breston caught my comment and took a look. "He's cute, but 17."

	I swung around to him. "How do you know how old he is?" I push out
my bottom lip, pouting.

	"Look, he's able to go in by himself. So either his parents trust
him way too much or he's 17." Fair point. Why do all the cute guys have to
be so much older than me? "Come on, Dad and Liz are heading to the gate."

	I sighed and took one more look at him. Just when I did, he looked
directly at me and smiled. His hand waved at me, and all I could do was
blush and turn away. I'm literally the worst at flirting.

	Now he's going to think I'm an idiot. Good news is he's never going
to see me again. He's going to show up at our gate now and be on our
plane. No worst of all he's going to be from my new home. That would be
just my luck.

	Brandon was the one to notice my mind spinning away. "What's up
kiddo?"
	I looked towards the ground. "There was a cutie at security..."

	He pinched my neck gently. "Found a looker, did ya? What's the
chance with them?" I feel like he is purposely using gender neutral terms
but who knows.

	I laughed before looking up at him. "They are spotted in an
airport, for all I know they could be from Germany." Brandon let out a
booming laugh that filled the corridor. "It's not funny..." I said
giggling.

	"You'll find love one day kid. I promise you that." He ruffled my
hair before handing me a 20 dollar bill. "Go get everyone something to
drink; that's our gate right there." He pointed at our gate. With a pat on
the back, I headed off to one of the many shops in the airport.

	I went around trying to find our favorite drinks. Sunny D for
Breston, Cream Soda for myself, water for mom and Pepsi of Brandon. If was
tempting to get candy, but I would have to get Breston some, or
share... Maybe I'll get Twizzlers or something.

	"Hey." There was a soft voice behind me. I turned to see the kid
from earlier. "You were at Anime Revolution, weren't you?"

	I stared at him blankly. What do I say? What do I do? Why is he
talking to me? GAAAAAAAAHHHH. "Umm... hi." My face burnt it was so red. I
haven't paid yet, so I'm stuck here.

	"My name is Regal; I work under Antoine Rieu." My eyes grew huge in
size as I looked up at him. "Yes, that Antoine Rieu. I was in charge of the
Blades booth when Isaac was at the signing."

	I bit my lip and lowered my head again. "That's so cool..." I stood
there swaying back and forth not knowing what to do. "Elijah, oh I mean my
name is Elijah."

	"You're cute, where are you heading today?"
	The smile crept itself onto my lips. He thinks I'm cute... "Same as
you probably. I'm moving to the hometown of Isaac Rieu."

	"You'd be right; we are heading to the same place. Maybe we should
get to the gate; boarding will start soon." Regal went in and grabbed
himself a bottle of apple juice. "Do you want anything?"

	I quickly shook my head back and forth. "No, I was sent here to
pick up drinks for everyone. Thank you though." I grabbed everyone their
drink and headed to the till. "It'll be cash," I told the lady running the
register.

	"Dude, what's taking so long?" Breston came up behind me. "You've
been like 20 minutes."

	I turned and quickly turned to Regal. "He works for Isaac's
Antoine! He was at Anime Rev and was running the Blades Booth!" Breston
wiggled his eyebrows at me. "His name is Regal, and he's going to be on our
flight."

	Regal offered Breston a wave. "I'm Breston, nice to meet you,
Regal."

	"You as well."

	"Here," I handed Breston his Sunny D. "I still need to pay."

	Breston rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's pay and get back. Hope to
see you around more Regal." I had to leave Regal there. On the plane, we
gave each other a wave, but he was at the front, and we were at the
back. The plane ride wasn't too long, but it was really boring. Breston
ended up falling asleep; leaving me to look out the window and watch the
clouds float by.

	Breston almost missed his bag when we finally got off the plane. It
was quite humorous to watch him chase after it. Mom went and got a rental
car. Ours would get to town much later.
	Tonight we would spend the night in a hotel, and our stuff will
arrive tomorrow. We drove passed our house, and it looked very pretty even
if it was 11 p.m. Breston and I had to share a bed, but that wasn't
anything new. We've done it a bunch of times before.


	The next day the moment of truth happened, we came into our new
house. We walked up together as a family, Brandon with his hands on
Breston's and my shoulder. "This is what we're going to call home from now
on!"

	Breston looked super happy. "And we're not moving again for a long
time?"

	"The contract is for five years; you'll be graduated by the time
it's over." Breston's smile made him glow with happiness. "What do you
think Elijah?"

	I shrugged. "I like our old place." I pouted as we got to the door.

	Mom raised my chin up so I would look her in the eyes. "I know you
like the old house buddy, but we needed to come here for Brandon's
work. It'll take some time for you to get used to the change, we'll be here
every step of the way. Let's go in, and you two can pick your rooms."

	Breston stepped up to mom. "How many rooms are there to choose
from?"

	"Well..."Brandon thought out loud. "We get the master bedroom,
which leaves just two bedrooms left."

	Breston took one look at me and booked it to the front door. Mom
shook her head. "We are going to discuss who gets what room. It's not first
come first serve." Breston gave a small pout until Mom unlocked the front
door. "Welcome home family."

	We went inside, and the house was pretty nice looking. Everything
looked fresh and new. Like the entire house has been renovated before it
was sold. Everything was so pretty.

	Though the house was empty right now, I could see some spots to put
stuff. Just a couple of idea, but I'm sure mom already has ideas on where
to put everything. She's like that, and I wouldn't be surprised if there
were a blueprint.

	"Where are the rooms?" Breston chimed in. "We should figure that
out before the moving truck gets here."

	Brandon shook his head. "One is beside our room upstairs, and the
other is off the living room." Oh great, they are both in bad
spots. "Follow me." He led us over to the room off the living room.

	The room was a decent size; it could fit all my stuff. I just don't
like the idea of being attached to the living room. Though it might be
better than next to the parents. It does have a small bathroom like right
beside it. "Let's see upstairs now." Breston grabbed my hand and dragged me
upstairs.

	We got up there and looked into what was clearly the master
bedroom. There was a walk-in closet and a bathroom. It was quite big too;
damn the parents are getting obviously the best room.

	I opened the door into the second bedroom. "It's a little smaller."
It has a closet, though, so that's cool. "What do you think?"

	"Beside the parents would suck... but I like the closet." He looked
at me and shrugged. "What do you think? You have more stuff than I do,
which can you work with?"

	"I kinda like downstairs more. It's more open; I could get all my
stuff on display." I looked over at Breston. "What do you want?"

	"I'll take either, your choice." His voice was clear to me... He
was letting me choose because I was taking the move harder.

	I couldn't help but smile at him. "Thanks."

	"What are you thanking me for? I'm just letting you choose the
room."

	"You're letting me because I'm taking the move harder. Don't tell
me you're not because I won't believe you." Breston held his hands up in
surrender. "I'll take downstairs then."

	"Great, I gotta drag all my stuff upstairs!" I laughed and smacked
him. "Wait, we're paying the movers to do that aren't we?"

	"Yes we are, and they will be here any minute." I turned around
leaving Breston in his new room. Well, we're here... hopefully, it's not as
bad once everything gets in.

Chapter End.
	That's chapter 2 for everyone! If you check out my Facebook page
(Link below), you will see what Regal looks like. My Twitter (Once again
Link below) you will see Elijah!

	More is in store for our cast of LUS.

	One small question: Would you like to see more POVs of characters?
If so who? I would love to know what you would like to see. I'm thinking of
doing one for Regal... I might; I like the picture I based him on.
