Professor Nickolas was surprised that he couldn't bring himself to say a word at that time then he came back to his sense and tried to avoid his gaze because the look in his eyes showed that he wasn't joking when he said 'I'm gonna make you mine'. Professor Nickolas laughed as he has taken his words a joke without looking in his eyes.
Professor Nickolas, "Hey kid, are you playing prank with right now?
Charlie, "Smirk, Hey Professor, do I look like I'm joking with you. I'm seriously gonna make you mine so prepare yourself bye see you later."
He went back by slamming door with smiling face and left Professor Nickolas stocked. Professor Nickolas couldn't believe what just happen was real. He thought it was just a prank played by some brat though he hasn't able to erase the look on Charlie's face at that time. Professor Nickolas ignored it and thought he would not see him again but he didn't know that it's just beginning of their story.
Mary, "So you come back where were you?"
Charlie, "I was just wandering round haha."
They were waiting in the school canteen for Charlie. Mary has been doubting that there was something they both hiding from her Three of them have been friends since they were kid because their families have been known each other before they were born. There was no secret between them that's why she was anxious wanting to know what would be there to hide from her.
Mary, "Hey didn't you say that you have some important work to do ah?"
Charlie, "Did I? I don't remember."
Mary, "What the… Mike didn't h…"
Mike, "Hey dude don't you want have drink? Let's go buy some, I want another drink too."
Mary, "Hey where you both going believing me behi… oye?"
They both left her behind to avoid her more questions because they knew that she would never accept the relationship between same gender. They have been keeping this secret from her that Charlie has feeling for another man top of that a 35 years' older man.
Mike, "Did you meet him?
Charlie, "yeah he is still handsome as before."
Mike, "Ah seriously man you are hopeless. So did you to talk to him?"
They were standing at the counter of canteen to buy drinks and Charlie said something that even the person who was serving drinks remain his mouth open to the shock of his words.
Charlie, "I told him that I would make him mine and he was so cute at that time, smiling"
He was so happy that even Mike's mouth remained open until he heard the voice behind him.
"Hey dude if you done buying move on so next person in the queue can buy too, weird dudes man."
Mike, "Sorry, I'm sorry go ahead please, you are crazy man who said the person they like in their first meeting that they would make them their property huh?"
Charlie, "Who say I make him my property, I want to become his and he becomes mine that's simple man why are making it so complicated, he is not some object which can become anyone property."
He was said it so loudly that people were started to staring at them. Mike grabbed his arm to drag him in the corner.
Mike, "Hey keep your voice down people are staring. You think he will take it as simple as you are saying man after hearing you said whose words huh? If you say these type of words so casually, he will take your feeling as kid possessive over his toy which is hard to get."
Charlie," Ah he didn't man, did he?
Mike laughed at his stupidity and hit his head as they were walking back to her.
Mary, "You are finally back what takes you guys so long, why I'm feeling as you both are hiding something from me huh?
Charlie, "It's nothing like that!"
Mike, "It's nothing like that!"
Shout at the same time.
Mary, "I know there is something you guys hiding from me, tell me, tell me now."
They stood up and left her again walking in the way of school gate go back and she ran after them.
Mary, "Oye wait for mee…"

Mary, "Why are classes so early in the morning? I'm sleepy yawning…"
Mike, "Hey close your mouth otherwise mosquitoes will go inside your mouth, haha"
She was hitting his shoulder "Shut up Mike they won't go inside. By the way when is your Piano class? My dancing class is in evening."
Mike, "The piano class is after this English Literature class. What about you Charlie?"
Charlie, "Oh mine is with you smiling."
Mike, "What do you mean yours with me?"
Mary, " What do you mean yours with him?"
He walked away with secret smiling face and they were running after him.
Mary, "Hey then what about your singing class, are you listening me? Charlie wait…"
Mike, "Hah… he really going to make a mass out of things."
In the class…
Professor Nickolas, "Hi everyone my name is Nickolas Admin. I'm your piano teacher who will take piano class from today on so let's get along everyone. Okay I completed my intro now it's your turn to come here one after another to introduce yourself."
They started to introduced them one by one and Professor Nickolas was listening them with pleasure, he didn't know that Charlie was sitting in the end of the raw behind other students.
Mike, "Hi everyone my name is Mike Wilson, I come here to learn piano to become a pianist in the future, so let's get alone."
There was a person sitting in the corner who has been listening them quietly. They all introduced themselves but he didn't come to introduce himself as he was waiting for something.
Professor Nickolas, "The young man who is sitting in the corner come here to introduce yourself."
He didn't reply at first then the voice that come from behind make Professor Nickolas surprised that his face become paled. He already knew even without looking at the person who was sitting behind others that he was the one who said those words to him that he didn't even want to remember.
Charlie, "Smirk… Hey Professor are you sure you won't regret to calling me?"
He stood up from his seat to started walk towards him with his burning gaze and was standing beside him. Professor Nickolas felt awkward so avoided him by turning his face as he didn't want to look in his eyes that made Charlie to tease him even more.
Charlie, "Hey Professor how are you going to listen me if you not look at me huh?"
He made him to look at him even though he didn't want to. Professor Nickolas already realized that he would be a danger to him in the future so he shouldn't be near him anymore. Charlie was looking as he's enjoying his every reaction to his words.
Charlie, "Smirk… hi everyone my name is Charlie Lee, I want to be a singer so I come to this school to improve my vocabulary."
Everyone in the class started gossiping that why he has come to this class when he was interested in singing. "Why is he here..., he is weird..., what the... is he here to time pass..., is he think learning piano is joke...," they were all curious that what was a singing student doing in their class.
Professor Nickolas was also surprised to know that he was a singing student.
Professor Nickolas, "Hey kid, why are you here if you have no interest in piano?"
He didn't reply this time too, he just looked at him with his suspicious smile as he has already planned of doing something stupid that would make things more hard for Professor Nickolas.
Charlie, "Hmm…mm, it looks like you all curious why I'm here so let me tell you all that the person I like is here in this class so let's get alone."
Suddenly silent fall in the class, they all were surprised to hear him say that then they started to cheer him up, "Oh man you are something…, ah seriously who is she… come on tell us her name…, go for it man we will support you…, these words were making Professor Nickolas more conscious of him.
Charlie, "Hmm… Should I tell you all his name huh? Ah nah I don't to create problems for him because I love him a lot, smiling."
He was looking at Professor Nickolas the whole time that was obviously showed his intention that would not give up easily. What will Professor Nickolas do? How will he make him stop from doing these things?
