Chapter 14 - 14

Previously..

"Tanya." He called, interrupting the two as the exclaimed girl turned to look at the tan who bobbed his head, telling Tanya to follow him as he left the scene.

The latter faces the ash-haired girl again, giving her one last sharp look before exiting the bathroom.

Natalia paused, looking over the leaving figure of the brunette.

'Imbecile..?'

. . .

Cleavon's POV

"I just couldn't believe what happened! I entered that bathroom to release my bullshit not to gather more bullshit!" Natalie screams out, students nearby quickly gave her a glare.

"I think you shouldn't treat this place like the girl's bathroom as well, people are giving us looks." I whispered, begging for Natalia to calm down as i gripped tightly onto her sleeve, gritting my teeth in nervousness.

The feral girl could blow out any moment now.

"Tanya?" Kynt murmured confusingly beside me, his body jolting by the mentioned name. "How did you two meet even?" He added as i facepalmed, seeing Natalia fuming once again.

"Stop! Stop asking her questions that'll lead to another tantrum, kynt!" I screeched as i gripped on his sleeves, i now pulled both of their sleeves as i fastened my pace, Raya and Valerie screaming behind us to slow down.

We all now sped up inside the sport's canteen, this university has a lot of other canteens, but the sport's canteen seemed to have more cheaper food than others.

"I feel like a mother taking care of two kids." I scowled jokingly as Valerie and Raya snickered beside us.

"Uhm.. you forgot about us?" Valerie giggled mirthfully as she gave me a small wave, i chuckled through my nostrils.

"Oh, no. I'm contented with two. Less spoon to feed." I bluffed, raya cooed not far behind us as we finally arrived at the line. There weren't that many students in here, despite of the amount of cafeterias' in the school.

There, we saw Estelle and Kimberly waving furiously at us from the middle lane.

"Heyy!" Estelle greets as we waved back, it was their turn to order. Kimberly though left where she stood at as she moved beside me. I gave her a confused frown.

"Just wanna ask, what competition you guys are joining in! It's almost the school competition season and it's going to be so exciting!" Kimberly asked as we all looked at each other, having no idea about the competitions.

"What?"

"A competition!"

"A competition? What kind exactly?" Natalia sneaks behind me, facing kimberly beside me as the said tall girl snorted.

"It's more of a Science and Math competition! Slogan making, poster making, video performances, singing, and dancing about Math and Science thingies or whatever." Kimberly explained furthermore as we all cooed, we were nearly at the end of the line as Kimberly then ordered ahead.

"Seems cool." Kynt mumbled behind Natalia.

"And it seems like i can't join any of it! Do you know how bad i am when it comes to those things?!" Valerie snickered, facing Raya with an outraged look.

"You? Bad? At those things? Wow, i'm offended. You do know you're better than me?" Raya snaps back as i nonchalantly shook my head, i finally ordered my lunch.

. . .

"Oh come on, raya! You have such a low-self esteem! Your therapist's therapist probably needs a therapist by now!" Valerie wheezes as we all turned to look at her with shocked faces, looking over to Raya who we expected to be genuinely offended only had a stank face in display.

"I don't even have a therapist to begin with, val."

"If raya ever gets a therapist, let me know, cuz, i will need to get one too." Estelle sighs hysterically as Kimberly snorted beside her.

"For what? You don't need a therapist, estelle. You need calcium to grow your bones, you pocket-sized kiwi." The latter added while estelle chortled with her. We all continued on finishing our food.

"I'm going to drop a TMI, since i know nobody else would." Valerie lightly taps the table to gather our attention. "I ate 13 servings of sushi last night, 4 plates per serving and it was so good!" She added, we smiled in response.

"That's so much food.." Kynt silently gasped as raya raised her hand at us.

"I recommended it to Valerie, there's a sushi house near the dormitories. I suggest that we should go there!" She excitedly clapped her hands in a child-like manner.

"But, i kinda live far away.."

"Shut it, quarter. Come with us i say, cuz i feel like treating you."

"Speaking about dormitories." I crooked a jokingly angry smile as i looked over the two confused girls. "You said it was a house for two, why are there seven beds?" I added, shoving the last piece of melon into my mouth that i bought as a lunch.

They looked at each other with confused but soon raised their brows in realization.

"Well, we must've miscalculated some things, you know not all math geniuses can calculate houses." Valerie awkwardly laughs as she bumps her arm with raya, the said girl laughing with her.

"That's not even close to Cleavon's question." Natalia snickered, pointing her thumb at me as all i could do was laugh with them. "So, what really was the reason?" She added.

Valerie and Raya looked at each other, asking each other by looks. 'Should we tell them?' is most likely the question between their gazes.

Me and Natalia mirrored their stances as we four then looked back at each other.

"Someone's moving over your rent-house this week."

=Time Skip=

"It'd be a problem if Natalia and Vanessa don't want any more people moving onto the house." Kynt voiced out beside me as he grabs another small plate of sushi from the sushi train. I looked at him with bewilderment in my eyes.

"That's the first ever long sentence you spoke out since we left the university." Kimberly looked at him with shock as well as i looked over with her with the same gaze, she just said what's on my mind.

It was finally the end of the day and everyone agreed to get sushi from the sushi house Raya recommended. Based on my last time check, it was already 5pm.

"We're really sorry! We didn't want you guys to have a hard time finding a dormitory before the second day of school so we just gave you the house!" Valerie fidgets with the wooden chopsticks on her hands, raya scooted closer to her.

"And we didn't know actually know that the house was for 7-10 people until we reached the reception desk." Raya added, patting valerie's head in addition to the said latina's answer.

"So, we just gave them to you two without any hesitation--"

"Uh-uh. YOU gave them the house without any hesitation, i would've actually let them move onto someone's rent-house, but you insisted to lend them their own for the second day, cuz you care for Cleavon that much." Raya corrects, cutting of valerie's sentence midway. I almost choked on my sashimi.

"Oh valerie, you didn't have to do that!" I screeched as i inclined my head closer to her to meet out gazes as she avoids it in abash. Natalia snorted.

"Wow, only cleavon?" The ash-haired girl snickered, pinching her nostrils at Valerie who lowered her head, deeply in abash.

"I thought it was only the first week of school, what is this chemistry i'm seeing?" Estelle remarks, stuffing her 8th sushi as kimberly steals it from her before she could even put it in her mouth.

"Look who's speaking!" Valerie snaps back. "Lovebirds.." She mumbles after making the two girls stop from eating as they went dead silent. Natalia snorted once again.

"Well.. i don't really talk especially if i don't feel belonged in a certain place.. you're all girls and i'm the only male here, but i really feel comfortable with you guys.." Kynt murmured, we all turned out attentions onto him as he wipes a swipe of soy sauce on his reddened cheeks.

"Speaking of certain places, who's the people moving onto us this week?" Natalia asked as we turned onto the two eggheads.

"I.. actually kind of remember their names, i do sometimes visit the reception desk so i sometimes get a sneak peek on the registration books." Valerie stated. "And! I actually saw them on the day they checked in!" She added, rubbing her chin, seemingly trying to remember their appearance.

"At least, tell us their names?" Natalia tilted her head questioningly as Kimberly snickered at her for being 'nosy', natalia then had her rage moment again as the two started arguing.

While the two continued arguing, i opened my can of coke as valerie yelps in surprise.

"That! It's them! The one whose moving to the rent-house this week!" Valerie screeched out, covering her mouth with the tissue box nearby as i turned my neck behind me where the latina pointed while everyone around me tried to calm the two fuming fires arguing with each other.

It's Tanya and Lawrence?
