*Alice: Bro, keep your aura down. I can’t concentrate on lecture*
*Chris: Calm down, brother. The whole class is freaking out except for this tiny monster*
Chris sent a picture attached to the message where an unbothered Alice was writing something on her book and the rest of class was looking here and there in utterly frightened expression.
Luke was about to keep his cell phone in his pocket again when another message popped up.
*Ira: Is that you, Luke?*
Meanwhile, In the girl’s locker room,
Elena removed the lipstick and compact from her bag to do the touch up, Lily removed her vanity bag. All of them went towards the washing room to get ready before lecture.
“Come here, Topaz” said Elena politely and Topaz stood in front of her.
Elena was doing Topaz’s touch up when her eyes fell on something strange and turned as wide as moon in shock. Topaz followed Elena’s gazes and under 30 seconds, she was having the same expres
“You feel that?” asked Luke in an utterly curious tone. He wanted to know everything about her and also this weird compassion of Mark about Elena.“Hmm. Sometimes, when she looks really down because of her not changing fact. We always go for long walk together and I try to cheer her up. I don’t know how much it works though” said Mark with a small chuckle while looking down in embarrassment.“Mark, do you really not like her?” asked Luke while looking him directly in the eye with his curious gazes.“I do like her. I mean who wouldn’t! She is the perfect girl out there. She is extremely intelligent, brave and kind with looks of a real celestial angel. I had a crush on her in middle school but then soon, I realized that she is not my mate. So, honestly, I am not romantically interested in her anymore but she is an important part of my life. A really good friend” said Mark with a genuine smile on his chise
“Wow!” escaped a girl’s mouth when Luke just raised his gazes to observe the class room“He is so damn handsome! Who is this mysterious guy?” said the girl from fifth bench from third row and the girl sitting next to her commented,“Is he even real?”“Who is he? Isn’t he the hot guy from Grand hall?” asked the girl from the last bench.“Stop looking at him!” said her boyfriend sitting next to her while keeping his hand on his girlfriend’s face to cover her eyes but she managed to remove it every single time to bless her eyes with the new beauty.“I heard he is from Moonshine who recently merged with Dark Sapphire. Dark Sapphire girls are so lucky!” said the girl from sixth bench.“So, Moonshine was hiding such hunk from us for so long? This is torture!” commented another girl from behind while keeping her hand on her chest dramatically.
“Mark is trying to sit with her” said Sky while shaking Liam rigorously.“What Rubbish! He sits alone in the class. He hates distractions!” said Liam plainly without raising his head from his book.“Exactly! Then why is he suddenly trying to sit with her today? Don’t you think something is wrong?” asked Sky in a suspicious tone.“What the hell!” said Liam suddenly when he realized what was happening.Meanwhile,“It’s okay. I will just sit with Sir Virtuous Mateo and life will be filled with so much fun” said Topaz with a small smile.Even Mark was looking at her confusedly when she suddenly tried to run away. It was right that only three students mostly sit at a bench but it wasn’t a written rule or law, four of them could easily sit there.Right now, Elena was halfway inside the bench standing between Lily and Topaz. Mark was standing next to Lily on the ri
“Thank you very much, Ms. Williams. I really needed that shower” said Mrs. Grizelda in a sarcastic tone.Elena and Mrs. Wang Bong gave their handkerchief to Mrs. Grizelda to clean up.“Sorry for the water gun attack, ma’am. But you can’t do that!” said a very disheartened Lily who fought with everyone, even she was tolerating these two weird wannabe Romeos just to sit with her best friend.“And why is that? What is stooping me from doing what I want?” asked Mrs. Grizelda while raising an eyebrow.“Uh-Oh. Looks like someone is in big trouble” commented Mateo from behind.“Because I need to sit with Elena. I can only concentrate when I sit with Elena and you told me last time that when I sit with her, I focus more on studies, remember?” asked Lily standing from her place and requesting like the most obedient and disciplined student of the college.“On that note, yes,
A series of sudden worried voices dragged them out of their fantasy world.“Elena, are you okay?” asked Topaz and Mrs. Grizelda in unison.“Elena, are you hurt?” asked every single person in the class one by one.Lily literally cursed everyone for disturbing their romantic moment. She was just waiting eagerly to meet Alice and tell her all about this.Another pair who cursed the people for interruption were Luke and Elena themselves but they didn’t show it on their faces.“I am okay. I just lost my balance” replied Elena in embarrassment. Her cheeks turned strawberry pink.‘Why my cheeks are burning?’ thought Elena touching her cheeks.Same goes for Luke, who for the first time in life turned completely pink. He was known for being playboy and hunk, never once in his life, he felt shy about being so close to someone. Elena unknowingly had a really deep effect on him.“
“Have you seen the look on his face? I told you Luke likes her but what was wrong with Elena?” whispered Sky in utter confusion.“I did notice something!” said Liam emotionlessly as he was deep in his thoughts.“Let’s do something before that arrogantly handsome guy steals her. What’s say?” asked Sky in an aggressive tone.‘What was it? Why didn’t Elena let go of him? Why she wasn’t getting out of his arms? Why did she close her eyes? Why was she so relaxed in his arms?’ thought Liam in utter astonishment.“What say you, Liam? We should do something, right?” asked Sky again with the same level of enthusiasm.“Oh, Huh? Huh! Yeah. We should… we should” said Liam when he was forcefully dragged out of his deep thoughts by Sky’s overflowing enthusiasm.Suddenly, Liam stood up and raised his hand before speaking,“Mrs. Grizelda
“You can anytime sit with her” said Lily while getting up with a fake welcoming smile.Sky sat between Elena and Lily happily with a wide grin on his handsome and Luke rolled his eyes.“Liam, you can sit with Mark and Nicholas for the meantime as it will benefit all of you. Anyways, you are just one bench away from Elena” said Mrs. Grizelda and Liam nodded as he was already sitting next to Mark.‘Then why does it feel like she is going too far away from me?’ thought Liam while glancing at Elena from the corner of his eyes.Liam turned around to glare at Sky and Luke. He smiled mildly at Elena who also smiled back nervously.Mrs. Grizelda then rearranged everyone’s seat in the class. Topaz, Mateo and Mina were sitting together at the first bench of the second while Ruby, Ira and Riley were sitting at the fourth bench of the same row. Mark and Liam who were supposed to sit with Nicholas were sitting on the se
“Here, take it. I am allergic to fruits anyways” said Luke teasingly while keeping the drink in front of Elena.“Thank you” said Elena with a fake smile while grabbing the drink form the desk and holding it in her hands so delicately like Luke has given her a part of his heart.Even though, she didn’t show much interest, she felt touched by his gentle behaviour. After she realized that he supported her in her lie and he was affected by her ignorance, her heart started racing like horses galloping in a wide free field.She felt a sudden urge to hold his hand and never let go but she controlled it. A thought other than holding his hand crossed her brain.‘I am sure I saw him eating pancake with strawberry cream this morning! Then why did he play along? Was I wrong about him all this time?’ thought Elena while staring at him with suspicion.She clearly remembered now that when she went down, Luke was eating hi
