Price of the Truth

"H-Hello?"

Its her, the new member, what a first impression.

"Aargh"

She notices me coming towards me fast and widens her eyes.

She screams

I scream

We make contact

"Hi"

we crash into eachother.

Im on top of her, she's below me.

I though this bullshit only happens in mangas and tv shows.

I slowly start getting off

"Uhh, can you, please get off me?" she says

"Yes, Yes, excuse me"

I get off her, and help her get up.

"Sorry, this is awkward."

I scratch my head

Before she can even talk I immediately say

"Look, i know you have plenty of questions but i'll answer them all later, for now…

Wait, wait a minute, that logo, on her shirt.

I lock eyes with the logo and get closer.

It really is, the same logo those 2 from earlier had on their black cloaks.

I knew it looked familiar.

Wait, what could this mean, is she sent by them? what does she know about the-

"Can you please stop staring at my tits."

The girl hides her tits with her arms, and turns to the side, a bit angry.

"Wait, wait no, its not like tha-"

Fuck, Fuckkk, i completely zoned out, now she's gonna think im a weirdo

"Look, i gotta go."

I turn back to Haruta and tell her to keep the newbie busy, she seemed mad for some reason?

I finally reach the bedroom, take a deep breath, exhale and

"EVERYONE. GET. UP"

I scream at the top of lungs, a little bit out of spite too for letting me sleep on top but thats mainly Haruta's fault.

"Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you" Zayna grumpy ass replies immediately

"Michael, what?" Asma adds

"Man, it's 9 in the morning." And matias lets out a final blow.

Zara just stares.

"Its Important."

After a bit of complaining and whining, they all eventually get up.

"So look, guys, it's, i dont even know where to start.. first off, the girl from yester-"

Haruta opens the door with the girl behind her.

Everyone's jaw drops to the floor, Zara even widened her eyes.

"Yea, this just happend." I point to her

Zara gets up from her bed and starts approaching the girl

"You've recovered this fast?"

She stays there for a second, completely shocked and adds

"It's, it's unnatural, a grown adult would need 2-3 days of good rest for stuff like this."

"Did you help me? Did you all help me?"

"Yea, so how about it, you're part of the team now." Matias gets up from his and smoothly puts his hand on the wall close to her

"Part of the team? What are you talking about?"

"Look, the girls confused. Lets all talk over this at the dinner table." Zayna says, we all nod in agreement.

Everyone goes to get ready, so me and Haruta naturally lead the girl to the dinner table, and we wait there for everyone, describin the situation as awkward wouldn't even begin to describe it, especially after what happend earlier, they're sure taking their sweet time getting ready though.

"Whats your name?"

Haruta decides to break the silence.

The girl startled by the break in tension answers immediately

"It's, its Sumana!"

Sumana? Never heard of such a name, intersting.

"Nice, im Haruta."

Sumana nods and gulps nervously before barely muttering.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me."

Ah, yes, of course, saving her.

I didnt vote for that

We didnt vote for that.

I give her Haruta a side eye which she doesn't reply to.

"No problem."

Haruta goes for a fistbump, which Sumana replies to, Haruta follows it up with a smile and Sumana back.

"I see yall are starting to get along, that's good." Asma enters carrying some eggs she cooked, and some rice, being carried by Zayna enter the room

"Yo, yo wassup my people"

Matias follows up, and then Zara enters and closes the door.

Asma places the food on the table, god i love when she cooks, let me get a egg right of the bat.

"Ouch."

Zayna slapped my hand.

"First, we feed our guest, our newest member."

"T-thank you."

She grabs a egg and immediately devours it, drinks 3 glasses of water too, 3, someone needa tell her we aint a luxury hotel.

Now, she's grabbing the bowl of rice?

Asma smiles and Matias pupils dilate.

"Do you like it?"

Sumana nods repeatedly and starts eating a little rice.

She notices that all of us are watching her, and she stops, then she covers herself like a hedgehog.

"I, im sorry everyone, im just so hungry and stuff, and with everything going on, eat please, eat the rest."

"It's fine." Zayna replies

"Yea, you can have my half im not even hungry." Matias quickly adds on.

We all eat the deliciou food Asma made and after cleaning the table, we sit again, everyone sat in their previous spots except Matias, he's sitting closer to her this time.

Matias instead of introducing himself or asking about her, immediately fires up the conversation.

"So, what do you say, you in or not?"

Sumana takes a deep breath and answers swiftly.

"I appreciate your hospitality, but i cant join your team."
