An Extra’s POV

They went past the town square, towards the marketplace.

Throughout the journey, Rey kept bringing up random topics, and Alicia didn't quite understand why.

For example; things like her dreams, her thoughts on certain guys in their class.

The breaking point for Alicia was when he asked about what she thought about Billy.

She actually considered him to be an imposter at some point—maybe Justin disguised as Rey.

But on their way out of the Royal Estate, they saw Justin hanging out with his friends.

It couldn't have been him.

Stil, Alicia wasn't sure this was really Rey.

To exercise caution, she asked him questions that only Rey would know—questions involving things they discussed in the Library or in his room.

"How many cats do I have in my grandparents' house again?" Was a good example.

And every time… EVERY SINGLE TIME…

"Over thirty-seven, right?"

… Rey knew the answers to her queries.

It had to be him!

'So why is he being so weird?' She wondered to herself.

Perhaps this whole surprise thing had him all worked up. That was Alicia's excuse for him.

The two of them eventually went to a shop that sold "The best Fruit Juice around!" according to Rey.

She didn't know he had been exploring much of the city, especially since he never told her about it.

'I would have liked to know… or even come…' Alicia's thoughts trailed.

But she quickly shrugged it off.

The Shop was more like a restaurant, with tables and chairs set in multiple places.

For a place meant to be the best, it was scanty at best. A few men were seated in certain corners here and there, but there weren't more than seven of them.

They all had big jugs of juice in front of them, but the liquid contents were almost full to the brim, showing that they had barely been touched.

'Is Rey really sure about this place?' Alicia wondered to herself as she scanned her surroundings.

She saw a few men taking sips, but they were hardly making pleasant expressions.
