His gaze was glued on his book as if it was some kind of tv
Mara left out a lopsided slyly smirk
‘ So she’s the one trying to get his attention? How cheap” She scoffed
” I need to make her understand Ryan is mine and mine alone” She muttered balling her fist.
“You mean Ryan helped you? Like for real?” Yixian asked
“Well… Something like that ” She nodded.
” Where’s Fei? She’s nowhere in class”
“She might be somewhere around campus, cos I know she doesn’t skip classes” Yixuan replied
Another lecturer entered and class started all over again
★★★★
” So, how was class?” Violet asked Jeffrey as they left the class to the cafeteria. It was lunch time already
” Well, Not bad ” he replied
Yixuan was quiet all this while
” What’s wrong?” Violet turned to her
” It’s just …I can’t get the fact that you got 99.5% in the exam outta my head…..
” Let’s not talk about that right now, I’m hungry ” Violet pouted
“Right, let’s get something for lunch ” Yixuan said pulling her away
✯✩✯✩✯
Remy was about taking a corner when he suddenly bumped into Ryan
” Are you seriously stalking me right now?” Remy frowned
His eyes darkened as he stared at him. It held hatred, deep hatred
” I…
” What do you want?” He asked coldly, cutting Ryan off
“Just wanted to thank you for what you did earlier ” Ryan replied and he scoffed loudly
“I didn’t do that for you. I did it for myself, I can’t have people discover I had a past with you” he said
“All the same, thank you” Ryan said and walked away.
” Yoh man, we should be going to the cafeteria together. Why did you leave us behind? ” Fargo asked
They just arrived
” Wait, isn’t that Ryan?” Justin asked, pointing at a direction
” Yeah it’s him” Reece agreed
” Gawd, I so much like the guy’s meekness.. he must be lonely…it’s not easy being an only child” Reece sighed
“Yeah, I guess that’s why he’s calm, cold and quiet….he has been alone all his life.. Justin said
” I’m an only child too but I’m not lonely” Fargo spoke up
” That’s because he has no one but you have us you dummy” Justin Smacked his head
” Yeah, that’s true ” Fargo said
” Poor thing ” Reece breath out, staring at him till he was no more
Remy just kept mute till they got to the cafeteria
★★★★
Ryan made to walk into the library when he sighted Fei. His steps faltered and he hissed lowly
He was contemplating whether to asked her about the post but he thought against it since the deed was done already. Everyone is aware and he wasn’t sad about it anymore
Fei walked to him, smiling.
” Hey” she said, stylishly brushing a strand of her hair behind her ears
Ryan’s frown deepened as he stared at her
” Why did you do it? I mean the pictures?” He asked, his face showing no expression
“Ah…, I was just surprised and I thought the rest of the students would be surprised too if they knew” she bent her head, unable to look at him since he wasn’t putting on a friendly expression
” My personal life shouldn’t be of any concern to you. Stop blathering like the addlepated nincompoop that you are and work on your empty brain…. If your brain was donated to science, I’m sure science would return it ” he said meanly and walked into the library leaving Fei in shock
She still couldn’t believe He just insulted her
Tears almost left her eyes as she stood at the spot, dumbfounded. She let out a breath before leaving for the Cafeteria
★★★★
” Fei.. yixian waved at her when she got to cafeteria
She forced a smile and walked to them
” Is something wrong? ” Violet asked and she just stared into thin air
” I’m the one… I uploaded the pictures ” She said and Yixian’s eyes widened
“What were you thinking? I’m sure he hid the truth for a reason so why did you do it?” Yixian whisper- yelled
“I don’t know, let’s say I wasn’t thinking straight” She said
She was sad the guy she likes threw insults her, and to think he’s the first guy she ever fell for made her even more sad
” I shouldn’t have done that ” She sighed sadly
Mara walked into the cafeteria with Claire. She glared at Violet before walking to an empty table
She sat quietly with Claire who was busy staring at Violet
” Can you just stop staring?” Mara rolled her eyes
“I want to but my eyes wouldn’t let me. I wish I was a guy, I would’ve date her.. Claire said, dreamingly
She kept stealing glances at Jeffrey too
” You’re unbelievable”Mara rolled her eyes again
She pretended to be busy with her phone but her attention were on Violet who was smiling and talking to her friends.
” I’ll be back” Violet stood up
” Going somewhere?” Jeffrey asked
” Yeah, wanna use the restroom….
” I’ll be coming with you this time” Yixian said and she nodded
“Let’s go then.”
“I’ll be back guys.. Yixian said and walked away with Violet.
Mara stood up too
” And where are you going?” Claire asked, picking on her food
“Wanna use the restroom. I’ll be back shortly” she said and walked out of the cafeteria too.
Jeffrey saw this and he didn’t feel good about it
He stood up but Fei held him
” You wanna follow them to the restroom?” She asked and he sighed before sitting back
★★★★
Violet left the rest room after she was done. She met yixian outside still waiting for her
” You’re still here? I thought you’d be gone” She said with a hint of disappointment in her voice
Somehow she was hoping to go to the rooftop and hear the unknown guy sing again
” I was waiting for you ” Yixuan replied
” Let’s go then” she said and they began to walk their way out of the restroom
Mara leaned against the wall patiently waiting for them
” Hey.. She called, drawing Violet’s attention
Violet didn’t even notice someone was standing somewhere next to them. She turned to Mara with a frown,
” It’s Violet not hey ” She corrected while Yixian poked her gently with her fingers, warningly
” Let’s just go okay?” She said and Violet nodded.
They made to walk pass Mara but she pulled Violet back
” What do you think you’re doing right now?” Violet sighed, facing her properly
“Do you know who you’re talking to? I’m Mara Zhang, the…..
“Ah, the Minister’s daughter. I thought you were the president’s daughter” Violet said sarcastically while Yixuan grabbed her hand tightly and shook her head at her ( Violet )
She knew the repercussions of getting on mara’s nerves and she wasn’t ready for the aftermath
” So what does the Minister’s daughter want? Violet asked
” I don’t have time talking to lowlives like you so I’ll just go straight to the point; Stay away from Ryan, He’s mine understand?” Mara said and she scoff
“I don’t know if I should be saying this but if truly he’s yours like you claimed he won’t look elsewhere ” she said and Mara balled her fist
“I h@të your guts.. she said and made to slap Violet but someone held her hands
” Who the f*ck has the guts to.. she didn’t complete her statement when her eyes landed on Remy who had a smirk on
” Gosh scholarship, I love your comeback ” Remy giggled but Violet didn’t say a word.
He pushed Mara away roughly and she staggered slightly
” Gosh, I h@të touching trash…. I should sanitize my hands once I leave here ” He said wiping his hands like he just touched dirt
” Bully her next time and I’ll make sure I draw the map of China on your face. I own her…. No one else can bully her except me, hope you get that?” Remy said while Mara glared harshly at Violet before walking away angrily
” You don’t own me, I own myself. You can just go buy a dog so you can own and bully any time you want. And…. don’t fight for me, I can do it myself ” Violet said and walked out with Yixuan while Remy burst into laughter
” You think I’m hitting on you? You’re totally not my style…. I love cute girls” He shouted after her, laughing
” It’ll be fun bullying you too ” He smirked
