"Are you sure you are gonna do this?"
Noah questions smiling sheepishly observing Lauren sulking. Lauren nods her head and Zoey squeals hitting Noah's forearm with her small fist.
"Why are you acting as if I am going to propose someone? Excited much, huh?" Lauren says scoffing at the other two who had been smiling and snickering at her and mostly at her situation and decision.
"I would say that day would come soon."
Noah says and hides behind Zoey. Lauren snaps her head at his comment with gritted teeth and burning eyes.
"What did you say?"
Lauren raises her fist positioning towards him and dashes towards him. Noah squeals dozing Lauren using Zoey as his shield against Lauren and her attacks. As they were heading for their classes and walking down the hallway, all eyes were on them. Actually, they looked like two kids fighting for candy.
"Yah!! You two stop it!" Zoey yells making the two halt on their position.
Noah was shielding his face with his arms extended around his face, his left leg slightly raised and backbend trying to distance himself from the girl. While Lauren was standing on her both feet with her right hand grabbing his collar while left hand raised up in the air fisted ready to land on his head. Hearing Zoey yell, they turn their head towards her but they were in the exact same position. Zoey stood there firm on her feet, hands folded around her chest with her eyes throwing daggers at the other two.
"What? He started!" Lauren yells back totally offended. She distances herself from him and glared at Noah who was smiling at her scratching the back of his neck. Lauren sighs trying to calm herself.
"Shall we head to class? It will start soon." Zoey says grabbing their attention. They both nod their head and walk towards the class down the hall.
"But Lauren, Do thank him and ask for his number. It will be easy for you to make move.!!" He says and makes a run for his life, he runs away to the class leaving them behind. Zoey was laughing while Lauren was burning in rage. She felt like murdering him at that instant.
"Come on, let's go. He will save a seat for us."
Zoey says pulling Lauren with her towards the class. As soon as they enter the class, they saw Noah waving his hand from the middle row. Zoey waves back running towards him dragging Lauren with her.
"Zoey sit beside me! I am sure she will kill me. " Noah says pulling Zoey to sit beside him. Lauren rolls her eyes glaring at him, Zoey chuckles seeing them. Lauren takes a seat beside Zoey. Lauren unconscious scans the room searching for the figure she had been having in her mind, no he as haunting her in her mind. And she hated that, having to be asleep late at night and get less sleep made her more troubled. She missed her carefree days.
She shakes her head realizing what she was doing. She coughs and looks in front of her. Noah coughs too making Lauren look at him but he smirks with a mocking gaze. Lauren points her index finger at him with a glare as she mouths 'I will kill you!' Noah laughs and Zoey looks at them confused as she was not aware of their fight over signs. Lauren kept glaring at him, but she raised her leg and stepped hard on his leg making him yelp. He stumbles backward with his legs on his hand but as he raises his leg further, he hits his knees on the desk. He screams and hisses in pain while Lauren laughs and Zoey watches him whimper in pain feeling pity.
"Serves you right!!"
She says tucking her tongue out mocking him. And this time, Noah was the one glaring but his eyes hold more pain than anger. "Can you guys stop? Please." Zoey says with a pout but she was annoyed with them bickering and hurting each other.
"Ok-"
The whole class goes silent as the professor makes his way inside making Lauren halt on her words. They then drop their fight and focus on the class. The professor takes attendance, but he stops when he gets no reply from Ryan. Lauren's ears perk up at that name being called but seeing no response she felt disappointment.
[Maybe thank you need to wait.] She thinks to herself and sighs.
The professor continues attendance. Soon, he starts teaching for the day.
After fifteen minutes, the door opens with a figure making his way inside. All the students come out of their slumber, as most were dozing off while few were paying attention and some of the others were busy scribbling on their notepads. With the intruder, they all perk up in excitement and refreshment. Some even were thankful for the disturbance.
Ryan walks up the steps ignoring the professor's presence in the front as he makes his way to the last row of the class. As usual, Ryan sits at the corner of the class not giving a shit about the class and the professor. This very attitude of his attracted attention- mostly of the girls. Despite being rude and arrogant, he surely was popular and favored by the girls. Most of the boys were envious of him, not only because he was handsome and he had a great fan following but because of the power he had.
"Ryan..."
The professor calls out for him and he stops on his step. He slightly turns around looking through his shoulder. The professor sighs and makes his way upstairs towards Ryan. By now, Ryan completely turns around facing the professor. He is not such a person to disgrace professors and elder but he being himself he couldn't control his unusual habits.
"Look, I know you hate to study but just don't waste your time. This is already the second time you are repeating this year. This year please make sure you graduate. Okay?"
The professor ends with a hopeful gaze but he was left disappointed by the younger as he really rolled his eyes over the elder's words. Ryan signs looking away. He bits his lips between his teeth and looks straight at the professor's eyes.
"Thank you for being a concerned professor. But I guess you need to see me much longer. Or I can just not join. I don't want to do anything." He says to his professor's face to face with no hesitation. The professor's eyebrow twitches in annoyance as he for sure is looking forward to not see him next year but he was not having luck in his favor. The professor sighs again turning around and making his way down to the front.
Ryan turns around but then his eyes met Lauren's, Lauren widens her eyes as she found him looking at her and she looks away. Ryan smirks slightly making his way towards his usual seat.
"He is so rude."
Zoey speaks and Lauren calms herself as she felt the heat rise up on her cheeks. She facepalmed and look straight at the board and focused on the lecture.
"Are you going to talk to him and that him?"
Zoey questions looking straight at the board. " I think I should, shouldn't I?" Lauren questions back as it was an obvious thing to do. Zoey nods her head. "Yea you should. And here he really did save you from that awful accident. If he was not there then you wouldn't have been here with us. Ugh! I can't even imagine you getting admitted in hospital with b-"
"You two girls can you please stop talking and focus?" the professor all of a sudden speaks making them flinch and nod their head embarrassed being the center of attraction. "Ugh... Embarrassing." Zoey says with her eyes shut and head bowing down. Noah chuckles beside us. Lauren nods her head and looks down at her finger playing with each other.
"Am I really going to than that Satan?"
She murmurs to herself with a tired sigh escaping her lips.
