Chapter 3 - III

" Good Moring, Austin and Sebastian. Where would you like to sit?." He said.

I can feel my heart beating.

Why?.

Because all the vacant seats are around us.

Sebastian wondered his eyes and landed on us. I quickly bowed my head down as if I'm sleeping.

" Okay, you can sit there now. We will start our discussion in 3 minutes." I heard the professor say.

My head is still down waiting for the teacher to give a signal so we can start the class.

" Oh hey, You're the ones who helped us earlier right."

Fck I can hear them right next to me.

" Yeah, you're welcome by the way." I hear Kate say.

I hear them giggled.

" Is she asleep?." They said.

Kate started nudging me.

" Yeah, She's not in shape lately." She said with an awkward laugh and continued nudging me.

" Oh I see, Hope she gets better."

'DUG' 'DUG'

My heart raced from that phrase. I started lifting my head up and started stretching making it seem that I just woke up.

" Hi."

I turned to my left and then I saw him.

He was smiling and looking straight in to my eyes.

" H-Hi." I said stuttering and forcing my self to not smile too much.

" Okay class, Let's get started. Sit properly and listen carefully!!." Our professor said.

It's the first day so this is just an orientation for us to be prepared for the following lessons and discussions.

I rested my head on my palm and listened.

...

I suddenly got bored so I randomly wondered my eyes throughout the room.

Then I looked to my left to see an angel.

He was sitting straight and hands on his table.

Long wavy hazel hair, Thin glasses, Neatly worn clothes, Beautiful clear skin, Red plump delicious li---.

" MISS LAUREN!!!."

My eyes shot wide and I quickly turn my body to face the board.

" I have called you a hundred times, What in the world are you doing?!." He yelled so loud that I have to lean back on my chair.

All eyes were on me.

Even his.

" Care to explain, Ms. Lauren Travis?." I can see the frustration in his eyes.

" I--."

" She's not feeling well, sir."

I was about to say something that I just made up but someone cut my words.

" Why do you say that, Mr. Sebastian. She looks fine to me."

My eyes shot wide again as I looked to the professor and to my left.

He was defending me.

" I believe she might have a headache since she was taking a rest earlier. I recommend taking her to that nurse's office." He said confidently without any facial expression.

" Oh is that so?, Then take her out now before I have a headache because of her." The professor said massaging his head afterwards.

Sebastian stand up and extended his hand to me.

I looked at him and he still had no facial expression. I also stand up and I denied his help.

I'll have a heart attack when I get to hold his hand.

We walked towards the door.

" Excuse us." He said to the professor and headed off outside.

We are now walking in the corridors towards the nurse's office. He doesn't know the school well so I leaded the way.

" You're welcome by the way." He said.

I looked at him and he was smirking.

'DUG' 'DUG'

Seeing him smile always make my heart beat race and now he's smirking making it faster.

" U-Uh y-yeah thanks I guess."

" It was a lie that I have a headache actually." I said and forced a laugh.

" I know."

He said and his smirk got bigger turning into a smile.

" I-UH Wha-What?." I said stuttering.

He giggled.

" I said I know, It was pretty obvious actually."

" Bu-But how?!." I said still in disbelief.

" Well earlier when my brother was talking to your friend, I saw her think for an excuse when my brother asked if you were asleep."

Wait what?, It was her brother talking to Kate earlier and not him?.

Then that means when he said---, I'm not even gonna talk about it.

" Y-Yeah right, haha." I said and faked laughed.

We continued walking until we passed the gym where the nurse's office was near.

" Are you sure you still want to go in there even though you're not sick?." He asked me.

" I mean, What choice do I have?."

" If you want we could just hang out together." He suggested and smiled.

I never thought that I could experience this, yet even talk to him this long.

" Uhm is it good for you?, Because I don't want to be in your way." I said and he just shook his head while smiling.

" T-Then what do you want to do?."

" Do you play chess?."

" A little bit, yeah."

" Then let's play!." He sound so excited.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards this one room that I haven't been to.

He opened the door and pushed me in. He then entered the room himself and turned on the lights and aircon on.

" So what's your rating?." He asked while preparing the stuff we needed.

He placed the table and two chairs opposite to each other.

" I rather not say it, I think I need more practice." I said while watching him place the chess board on the table.

" Okay, I respect that. I'll help you then." He said and smiled at me again.

He then sat on the chair and allowed me to sit at the opposite chair to him.

" Do you prefer to play white or black?."

" I'll take anything."

" Nice confidence, I like that. I will take black then." He said and started placing the black pieces on his side of the board.

Then I take mine and placed the white pieces on my side of the board.

" I was just wondering, Why are you so kind to me. We literally just met earlier in the morning."

" Well, I have this one fan that always supports me in my plays. But sadly she remains anonymous so I don't know what's her name and what she looks like. She's currently my motivation to win tournaments and also be kind to others." He said that while smiling.

What a lucky girl.

" What about you?. Do you have any motivation?." He said and finished placing all the black pieces.

" Yeah, You."
