~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:50 PM)~~~
"Oh my GOD!!! Ms. Adamo!! I\'m such a huge fan of yours! I never thought I\'d get the honor to meet you in person! Marcus didn\'t say he was taking me to meet his sister!"
Her head darts in Marcus\'s direction, and I can see she\'s a little upset at the lack of a warning. I look nervously at the fan, and I can\'t help thinking this is a bit weird. No one else has done this to me, and everyone in the Arena knows who I am.
There is an unwritten rule when it comes to talking to people with a Class Grade of Legacy and higher. Basically, you don\'t bother them unless they go out of their way to talk to you first.
However, it appears that... Kelly Michells... Doesn\'t know this rule or doesn\'t care about it. My eyes land on Marcus for an explanation of what\'s going on. But he\'s just leaned back in his chair and watching the current match.
I know this is his partner for the 2v2 that he\'ll eventually have, but that doesn\'t explain the woman herself. She\'s a bit older than Rianna, but maybe only by a year.
"Umm... It\'s always nice to meet a fan?"
This is the first time I\'ve dealt with this situation, and my confusion about it is obvious to anyone that would look this way. But the dense girl doesn\'t seem to be fazed by my confusion and suspicion of her. It\'s almost like she doesn\'t see that part of people.
Which is dangerous for her.
"And please, if you\'re partnering up with my little brother. At least, refer to me as Hailey. Ms. Adamo makes me sound older than the dirt in the Arena. If you\'d be so kind as to back up a little, that would be appreciated."
She\'s beginning to enter my personal space. My words seem to fall on deaf ears. All that I\'m met with at this moment is an awestruck person. Some people shut down when they meet their favorite celebrity. But I\'m not on that level.
Sure, I wanted to be an actress at one point. I would\'ve loved fame and fortune. Now that I\'m experiencing something that I dreamed of having, I don\'t like it.
Goes to show that you never really know what you want or don\'t want until you\'ve got it. To my surprise, Rianna stands up and gently grabs the elbow of the girl. Leading her to an open seat next to her. All Kelly does is giggle as she day dreams about something.
"Just take a seat next to me."
I\'m glad Rianna is helping with this. She\'s proving to be more useful the longer I invest in her. People\'s potential can really shock you if you give it a chance to blossom.
My focus shifts to Marcus, and he sees me looking at him for an explanation. There is an annoyance in his features. After all, he did have to deal with that chatterbox all the way here. I don\'t know if they\'ll become friends in the process of all this.
But it seems that Kelly is a reliable girl. One that wears her heart on her sleeve. You can always trust those kinds of people.
Well, not always. Most of the time, you can. There are the exceptions, like psychopaths and sociopaths. Who have learned to blend in. I highly doubt Kelly is one of those. However, her power seems to suggest something else.
She\'s definitely strong. There is no doubt about that. Which makes me wonder why she acts the way she does. I\'ll hold reservations on the whole psychopath and sociopath thing.
I know what it\'s like to live with a sociopath. Given that some members of my family are, in fact, sociopaths. Cera is the biggest one. It\'s given me the ability to spot them when talking to them. Kelly isn\'t setting off any alarms.
That doesn\'t mean it still can\'t happen.
"Where did you find that one?"
The sarcasm and teasing in my voice do nothing to make Marcus smile. I think he\'s just dreading the fact he\'s stuck with her until the time comes for his 2v2. At this point, it could be until tomorrow or the next day after that. There is no saying.
"I found her sitting alone in an Inn during my search for a partner. Little did I know at the time, the reason she\'s alone is cause she never shuts up."
I look over to Kelly to see if she minds being talked about like this. All I see is the same starstruck smile I\'ve already seen from her. She\'s used to the abuse of others. I shouldn\'t pile onto that. I raise my hand and smack the back of Marcus\'s head.
He looks at me with a cocked eyebrow.
"What the hell was that for?"
He\'s not angry. Mostly confused. Usually, I\'d let him say and do anything he wants. I\'m not Mom and Dad. But I think I should make sure he\'s not talking badly about people right in front of them.
"Listen, how you talk about others behind their backs is your business. Still, have the decency not to do it in front of their faces."
He rolls his eyes, and I do have another urge to smack him. But I can see on his face he gets the point. I have a feeling this is going to be a long couple of days until the 2v2 portion of the tryouts is finished.
Marcus is the one that has to deal with Kelly for the majority of that time. So, I feel worse for him than anyone else.

~~~(Time: 5:48 PM)~~~
The 2v2 matches for the day have ended, and we\'ll be resuming them again tomorrow at 8 AM. This is bad news for me since I\'m stuck with Kelly. She hasn\'t shut up since we left the presence of my sister. Hailey this, and Hailey that.
She\'s following behind me right now. Talking about how my sister has inspired her to be a strong Solo Player and stand up on her own.
I\'m doing my best to tune her out. There is one thing I like about Kelly, and it\'s her voice. It\'s smooth and silky. Easy to listen to. Even when she talks too much.
"I can\'t believe you have such an amazing sister! I\'m so jealous! I wish any of my siblings were as cool as that!"
It\'s a good thing she doesn\'t know that Slayer Zern, The Divine Class Wielder, is my brother. She\'d probably flip out. We\'re the strongest family in all of Gaia. In all of The Ancients World.
"She may be amazing to you, but she\'s just my sister to me. You may not realize this, but I\'m stronger than she is. I\'m able to kill more enemies, deal more damage, and have more versatility in a fight."
Maybe if I break the image she has of my sister, she\'ll stop talking about her. One can hope, right?
"That doesn\'t matter. Hailey is so popular cause she was the first female Player to have a Legendary Grade Class. There are so few Legendary Class Wielders, and all of them are male except for her and Saliandra Orvello. The girlfriend of Slayer Zern."
When she puts it like that, I can see how young and easily influenced women can be inspired, or obsessed with her. My brother already has a hard enough time with The Church Of Light and NPCs swarming him when he reveals himself in a city.
This is going to be a long few days. And I\'m not looking forward to dealing with this.
