An Extra’s POV

'Oof! This is looking bad…'

As Rey was on the ground, eating dust just like the rest of his friends, he actively observed the current battle unfolding before him.

Of course, he did so inconspicuously, since most of the people that Billy had defeated were either unconscious or too tired to watch anything.

'I made sure to get eliminated among the first batch of students. He practically one-shot me…' Rey smiled, almost as if he was proud of that achievement.

He hadn't spoken to Billy since that night when he walked back their living quarters with Alicia, but Rey constantly caught him throwing bad stares his way.

'I don't get his deal. If he wants to talk to Alicia, he can just go and meet her in the library. I'm sure they'd bond well there…'

Of course, Rey didn't like the idea of Billy sullying the sanctuary that was the Library, but it was always an option for the latter.

'Billy looks pretty well-toned now. He's also in great shape. Plus, he's strong and popular….' Rey could easily notice all these things because of the body-hugging outfit Billy was fond of wearing.

It was in direct contrast to the baggy stuff Rey constantly put on.

'I'm sure he has more of a chance with Alicia than I ever could. He should just give it a go or something…'

Once again, Rey didn't like the idea of Billy hanging around Alicia too much.

It wasn't because he felt jealous or anything, but because he knew the kind of person the guy was.

'He was able to easily abandon me—his friend from middle school—as soon as he got the chance to.'

Billy was obviously a grifter, and Rey thought he was unreliable.

He certainly wasn't the kind of person Alicia needed in her life at this point—especially with the rumors going around and her increased isolation.

'I wonder what he's doing about the rumors, though…'
