Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed To Love You: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Cassian’s POVI was stunned when the lecturer called my name. My eyes darted around the room. I hadn’t realized my voice had been that loud. Even the lecturer heard me?I mumbled an apology, and She raised a brow before nodding.“Alright,” She continued. “I assume everyone now knows their group members. I don’t want anyone coming to my office saying you don’t know your group. As soon as I leave this class, make sure each group picks a leader. That leader should create a group chat and add everyone so information can be passed around. Am I making sense?”“Yes,” the class echoed.But none of it was sinking in. My head wasn’t in that room. My eyes kept following Drasa. She was all over the place, restless. Her body couldn’t stay still for more than a few seconds. I didn’t hear a single word the lecturer said after that. My mind was just stuck on her.The second the lecturer walked out, she moved like she was about to bolt too. I was faster. I reached out and grabbed her wrist.She froze.

Drasa's POV The sharp buzzing of my phone jolted me awake. I squinted at the screen, groaning when I saw the time 9:00 AM. My phone was flooded with notifications, dozens of messages that had apparently been piling up while I slept.I rubbed my eyes and scrolled through them, quickly realizing Cassian had created a group chat for our project. The messages were flying back and forth about meeting up to discuss the assignment. My heart sank when I saw the agreed time: 10:00 AM. "Shit," I muttered, scrambling out of bed."You're awake?" My roommate, looked up from her textbook with raised eyebrows.I nodded quickly, already rushing toward the bathroom. "Yeah, sorry. I have a group meeting in an hour.""At 10 AM? Saturday morning.""Tell me about it," I called over my shoulder, already turning on the shower.I had exactly one hour to get ready and make it to the library meeting room they'd chosen. As the hot water hit my skin, I tried to shake off the grogginess and the lingering anxiet

Drasa’s POV I dragged my exhausted ass back to the hostel after telling Cassian exactly where he could shove his party invitation. The audacity of that guy thinking he could just declare me his "girlfriend" after calling me a slut and expect me to play along like some kind of accessory."Fuck off, Cassian. I'm not following you anywhere," I'd snapped at him, and even when he got that stubborn look on his face the one that probably worked on other girls I made myself crystal clear. I wasn't interested in being anyone's fake girlfriend, especially not his.By the time I made it back to my dorm room, it was already evening and I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Thankfully, my roommate wasn't there. I didn't have the energy for small talk or explanations about why I looked like death warmed over.I collapsed onto my bed, finally allowing myself to process the morning's chaos. Just as I was settling into the quiet, my phone started ringing."Hello?" I answered groggily."Drasa, it's Ame

Drasa's POVI looked up to see Kai holding the microphone, his eyes wide with what looked like genuine surprise as he took in my transformation. The spotlight from the stage area seemed to follow his gaze, illuminating me like I was some kind of exhibit on display. Maya's hand immediately found mine, her fingers warm and reassuring as they interlaced with my own. She could sense my growing panic, the way my breathing was becoming shallow and rapid. Without hesitation, she raised her voice loud enough for everyone in the immediate area to hear."Hey, Kai! Continue with the program and stop eating Drasa with your eyes!" she called out boldly, her tone carrying both authority and protectiveness. "Give the girl some space to breathe!"I felt a surge of gratitude toward Maya that was almost overwhelming. Here was someone who barely knew me, standing up for me in front of a crowd of people, refusing to let me be turned into some kind of spectacle. Her boldness in that moment made me feel l

Drasa's POVThe pool party was in full swing now, with music pumping and people laughing as they splashed around in the crystal-clear water. Maya had been persistent about getting me to actually swim instead of just sitting on the edge like a wallflower."Come on, Drasa!" she called out, already waist-deep in the water. "You can't come to a pool party and not get in the pool. That's like going to a restaurant and not eating!"I was still feeling self-conscious about everything, my hair, my outfit, the earlier confrontation with Elara but Maya's enthusiasm was infectious. Reluctantly, I slipped into the water, the cool temperature immediately making me feel more relaxed than I had all evening."See? Isn't this better?" Maya grinned, splashing me playfully.Before I could answer, one of the servers approached the edge of the pool with a tray of colorful drinks. The glasses were tall and decorated with little umbrellas and fruit garnishes, clearly some kind of cocktail."Ladies?" the ser
