Zelda and Tristian ignored the stares as they walked forward. When they reached the classroom a professor welcomed them with a warm smile.
The professor slammed the book on the desk to grab some attention from the class, ''Good morning class, welcome your new classmates, Zelda and Tristian, please introduce yourself,''
''Hello, myself Zelda, I am 18 and nice to meet you,'' Zelda spoke with a bewitching smile but no one knew the ill intention behind that smile.
''I am Tristian,'' Tristian coldly replied which led to an awkward silence.
''Ahem...Ok, you can go and occupy the free seats,'' The professor spoke.
Most of the backseat was occupied so Zelda and Tristian found a seat in the corner of the class.
As the professor started explaining Film studies, Tristian yawned frequently, as he was about to ask the time, his eyes widened in shock.
Because Zelda was completely focusing on the class and was even taking notes, Tristian couldn't believe that she was doing this.
''What's so interesting about this?'' Tristian whispered to her.
''Shhh...concentrate!'' Zelda spoke making Tristian speechless.
Tristian knew that Zelda was that bookworm student but why was she noting these down?
''Idiot! Why aren't you listening to the class, if you don't know let me tell you, We are staying here at least for half a year, if you don't study you will fail and get kicked out of college if you want our mission to be successful concentrate!'' Zelda reminded Tristian.
That is when the realization hit Tristian.
That was not the only reason Zelda was concentrating, she was fascinated by Film studies as everything was new. Zelda had only heard about movies and cartoons but never had the opportunity to watch them. Soon the first hour was over and it was break time. A huge discussion was going on between the students about the newcomers.
''Don't you think the new guy is too handsome!'' a girl squealed.
''Tristian...ah...a name that melts in my mouth,'' another replied and the girls started giggling.
During the break, Zelda and Tristian went to meet Lucius.
''Why are you guys here?'' Lucius asked.
''Why can't we be here?'' Tristian smirked as he spoke.
''I know I have a handsome face, did you guys miss me?'' Lucius started acting cocky.
''Stop spouting nonsense! Did you find the soul?'' Zelda came directly to the point.
''Well, yes but I have to conform on it,'' Lucius added.
Something dark seemed to possess Zelda's eyes, ''Who is the person?'' she asked.
''It's a girl, I don't know her name,'' Lucius replied.
Zelda gave an evil smile, ''Don't you think it's time to make friends?''
Tristian and Lucius also gave a sinister smile agreeing to her point.
''I think we should be more cautious about choosing, we don't want anyone doubting us''. The bell rang and Tristian and Zelda left. Lucius was now seated between a girl and boy, who seemed to be very unapproachable and reserved.
This was the first time Lucius found difficulty in starting a conversation.
As he was having a brainstorm on how to approach the girl, the professor spoke, ''Rose, what is the answer to the sum we have been doing?''
The girl next to Lucius stood up, she seemed blank, taking this as the perfect opportunity, Lucius took his pen and wrote the answer on the back of her hand which was placed on the desk.
Rose was startled for a moment when he did that but when she saw what he wrote she answered, ''56982.39''
The professor smiled proudly, ''Excellent,'' he complimented Rose and continued taking the class. And there goes the first impression, she was astonished by his immediate response and seemed quite impressed. According to his timetable, Lucius had to shift classes now, it was when he heard someone calling out ''hey, you the new one''.
Lucius turned around to see Rose with her arms crossed Lucius smiled and took two steps towards her before he replied, ''Yes,''
''Do you think that you are too smart?'' Rose asked.
Lucius didn't expect this, the wizard in him was boiling due to anger. But calming himself down Lucius spoke, ''I am sorry if I made you think that, I am not too smart, I am a genius,''
Rose was taken aback for a moment when Lucius smiled and put his hands inside his pocket.
''Aren't you too much of yourself,'' Lucius heard another voice, that is when the guy who was sitting beside him stepped forward, his name was Levi.
''No my friend you have had it all wrong, It's just that I love myself,'' Lucius replied.
Levi gritted his teeth as he took large strides towards Lucius but Lucius just remained there not even taking a step back.
''You are Inviting trouble,'' Levi spoke as he held Lucius's collar.
''But I think that's the opposite, my friend,'' Lucius replied with a devilish smirk.
