Chapter Thirteen.Nina's POV."Who's there!?"Suddenly we heard a shout from the right. My eyes went wide like an owl's when I saw a glimpse of faint yellow-orange light moving.Then followed by heavy footsteps.Our eyes widened when we heard that voice.It's the guards! It's the freaking guards! And it looks like they are getting closer to where we are.Oh my gosh! This can't be happening right?! How could this happen?I'm starting to panic. My pupils shrink, my hands tremble in fear, and my body turns cold. Why are my scenes always like this!? Is this a type of curse lurking on me? A bad luck because I'm a villain?There are so many possibilities that come to my mind right now. Getting caught, sent to prison, and then, punished by hanging."Tsk. Meirda," he said softly cursed so I looked up, his golden eyes met mine.Very amazing. It's shining like a star in the middle of the night. A fairytale-like experience.He frowned and stared at me. He squinted his eyes, observing me.Darn! I
Nina's POV.He stopped running– I still haven't asked him his name until now! Let's just call him Mr. Alien for now.When I tried to look around, all I could see were blurred objects. He is running so fast, that you thought he was running on a straight and paved road. For pete's sake, there are many trees and large bulking roots above the ground.The run was so smooth that I thought it was just a walk in the park. No bumps, hops, and zigzags at all!A few minutes later Alien stopped running. He stopped at the side of a huge tree and took a deep powerful breath.Its breathing is very heavy. He was heaving air in and out, and that's not surprising, given the distance we ran through the forest plus the fact that he was still freaking carrying me in that whole duration. I won't be too surprised if he suddenly falls due to his leg shaking.But the thing that surprised me is that he didn't even stop to rest for a bit, he was running very steadily earlier.And looking at him right now made m
Chapter Fifteen.Nina's POVThis is surely disturbing. I have never imagined that this would happen in my entire life. It's not new to me to be looked at or unable to stare, being the so-called-nerd and outcast in my previous school, gives you quite an attention. Some would have that mocking smirk plastered on their lips, and some would show that disgusting look on their face. The rest would just ignore and threaten you like air, in the worse case like trash.I don't believe they haven't been bullied in their whole lives. Starting inside the house through the outside world, even in the cyber section.Sometimes the ones who bully you are your own relatives, siblings, and parents. It is just sad, they should be the ones protecting you but they are still the first. Even your friends are sometimes below the belt.Some might have mild bullying which happens all the time or if you're lucky enough just like me to only receive hurtful words, it might crush your self-confidence but I think it'
Chapter Sixteen.Nina's POVEveryone hitched their breaths. They weren't expecting someone this early. Even I was shocked when someone suddenly spoke.I saw Kaiden pause his movements for a minute before a smile crept on his lips.Strange you may say. It was not the typical reaction I had been thinking or imagining.Everyone was quiet with the arrival of an unexpected visitor. No one made any noise because they were afraid that they would be the subject of the anger and attention of a famous and powerful person.No one would like to pick up a fight with the infamous son of the Dukedom Emanuelle. Getting on their bad side is equivalent to suicide! Messing with big-name people is like wanting to have an early ticket to hell and the afterlife. Totally dangerous.And I bet everyone is on edge right now. They are very careful with their movements and words, it was so weird because even their breathing was so weak that you thought they were dead, they were even all in synced in breathing! I
Chapter Seventeen.Nina's POVHuh!? What!? Magic introduction!?Why the hell!?Oh my geeee!!! What to do? What to do?!!!I could help but silently gritted my teeth. What kind of self-introduction is this?What is in the mind of this professor of ours?Everyone jumped in delight, they were so excited because it is their first time doing this. I guess I'm the only one who isn't excited about our introduction."Professor James is so cool." others whispered. I could almost imagine their eyes turning into heart shapes.I sighed again and again.Sorry Professor, even though I like you, I don't like your tricks. I guess I just regretted that we didn't do the stereotype introduction. I really hate it at first because, in everything I've read about school settings, that's the scenario. But I need it now to survive.I don't know if it's just me but ever since I woke up in this world, I have had many regrets that I didn't know about in my life before. Things I didn't expect I would regret later
Chapter Eighteen.Nina's POVI sighed mentally, let's focus on what's on my current plate right now. There's no need to eat everything right away. I might end up having a stomachache.I slowly stood up and faced Lord Ethan. When I saw his unwavering eyes and emotionless expression, I can't help but be in awe.What a great actor he is.I wasn't very sure if I guessed it right. But when I saw his surprised expression when he saw Gina, I thought I was mistaken or either he was really surprised that someone interrupted their conversation or it was because of the spark. You know the one when the heroes meet for the first time and then there is a sudden spark, a rapid heartbeat, and a sense of familiarity.Maybe I was expecting too much just because this world is inside a book.I was wrong. He knows her but didn't expect to see her.When I look at Gina. She was staring back at Lord Ethan, her eyes showed great admiration. I think she was not expecting Lord Ethan to introduce her to the self
Chapter Nineteen.Nina's POVNo one dared to answer Professor James' question. Every one of us looked at him like he had gone crazy.I knew he had a crazy side but I didn't expect it to be this crazy! I've just started taking care of myself, the first day of class, and first period today and I'm going to experience this right away!?This is abnormality! I'm starting to believe that everyone in this world is scary, and first on the list of crazy people is this handsome professor of ours.I really want to shout right through his face if possible.'Are you crazy!? You want us to capture those little devils?! Have you gone mad?! That's a beast, not a pet!' that's what I want to shout in his faceI know you're pretty handsome, Professor James, but don't abuse your handsomeness. It doesn't you're handsome I'll simp right away, just a bit though.Now I'm starting to regret my past action. To think that I supported all those crazy characters that I've read in every single novel because they
Chapter Twenty.Third Person's POV."You've got to be kidding me, right?" Lady Marina mumbled subconsciously. She stared back at bunny who was also eyeing her.Lady Marina couldn't stop her weak smile when she saw that the vengeful rabbit was approaching her. Everything happens so fast that she can't keep up with what's happening around her.All she could do is to blame her crazy Professor and curse lightly. She doesn't even know why this kind of thing is always happening every time she is around.“Shit.”The white rabbit started hopping in their direction, however, Lady Marina was still standing frozen in her place. Her mind was in a state of chaos, thinking about what did she do in her previous life to deserve this kind of treatment.'For pete's sake! I'm not even the main character!'She couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. Perhaps this is the price to pay for her almost perfect second life.Just like what everyone says, "There is no such thing as free lunch."You would always pa
