Take Me Away novel Chapter 27

'Ryan, so that's his name.'

Leona repeated the name in her mind.

"Ryan, what happened? She was saved by you? Tell me, please!" Sophia pleaded.

"Come on!" Ryan pinched Sophia's nose playfully. "I'll tell you later after I help Fiona unpack."

"Alright. Let's help her," said Sophia, sticking her tongue out at Ryan.

"Thank you." Fiona made sure to show them her gratitude.

"Hey, hey," Luke whispered as he gathered the boys. "Look at the four girls in the dormitory. Fiona is an absolute goddess. Sophia is super cute. Leona looks lovely. Ella is smoking hot. They're all so beautiful!"

"That's right." Warren nodded and turned to Ryan. "You know three of them, right? Who do you want the most? Let us know so we can pursue the others."

Ryan laughed. "Come on! You make me feel like I'm an emperor who's going to select a concubine." He glanced longingly at Fiona. 'Even if I have someone I want, will she want me?'

"Which one do you like?"

Ryan's thoughts were interrupted by Warren's probing. He flashed him a bright smile. "You didn't know?"

The other three boys exchanged a knowing smile.

Fiona had just finished unpacking her stuff. She wiped the sweat on her face and said, "Thank you all for your help today. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."

"Why another day? Why not today?" Sophia said and jumped up. "We're so lucky to have met each other! Why not have dinner together today? Let's bring Leona and Ella so we can all bond."

Hearing Sophia's words, the boys nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Fiona's phone rang.

She took it out from her pocket and saw Spencer's name on the screen.

"Hello?" Fiona ran to the balcony as she answered the phone. She did not notice Ryan's eyes following her.

"What are you doing? It took you so long to answer the phone!" Spencer's annoyed voice filled the other end.

"I'm unpacking," Fiona whispered.

"Have you moved to the dorm?"

"Yes."

Spencer was quiet for a few seconds. "I'm calling to tell you that I can't go back this weekend," he stated.

Fiona was thrilled.

"I see," she said over the phone.

"Don't get carried away. I'll see you soon. "I'll teach you a lesson by then," he threatened.

Fiona rolled her eyes. 'He's bluffing,' she told herself.

"Are you going to have dinner with us or not, Fiona? We're waiting for you," Sophia called out from inside the dorm. "I have to hang up now!" Fiona hurriedly told Spencer.

Before he could say something, she hung up.

"Hey! Fiona! I will go to— Damn it!" Spencer threw his phone away when he realized the call was disconnected.

"Leona, you didn't respond when I asked you to have lunch with me this noon. Now that the boys are here, you're willing to join us. What do you mean?"

Ella's sarcastic voice welcomed Fiona as she stepped into the dorm.

"What do you mean, Ella? Don't think that you can bully Leona as you like. I won't let you get away with this," said Sophia, stepping in front of Leona.

"What did I do? Am I not allowed to speak anymore?" Ella placed one hand on her waist.

"Oh my God," Sam murmured. "Girls are so troublesome."

"Shut up!" Warren patted Sam.

Fiona stood in front of them to interrupt. "Why are you all still here? Aren't you going to have dinner?"

Ryan smiled. "Are you coming with us, Fiona?"

"Sure." Fiona smiled softly, suppressing the discomfort in her heart. 'The girls don't seem easy-going.'

With a triumphant smile, Sophia grabbed Fiona's arm. "Alright, let's go! Are you coming with us, Ella?" she offered.

"Yes!" Ella nodded. They packed up their things

and walked towards a restaurant near the school.

"Sophia, tell us about you and Ryan," Sam said during dinner. "How come we've never heard of you?"

"My parents have been friends with Ryan's parents for many years," Sophia replied as she picked up a mouthful of food. "I haven't been to M City in the last three years. That's why you don't know me."

"How did you get admitted to D University?" Ryan looked at Sophia intently. "I thought your father didn't allow you to leave N City."
