Aspen didn't take out her phone till she got to her school lounge with Sky. She brought out her phone to check the message she got from her brother only for her to see a notification that made her scream her lungs out.
'Please Lord, is she a banshee?'
"why are you screaming now?" Sky questioned as he shielded his ears and tossed his bag to a nearby couch.
"No! No!! No!!!" she screamed again thereby startling Sky who was about to open the fridge to get some water.
"alright!! Aspen!!" he yelled in frustration.
Ignoring his annoyed look, she asked instead "Do you remember that guy from our summer vacation?" initially Skylar couldn't grasp what she meant but soon he did. He saw this as an opportunity to get back ay her a bit.
"oh you mean that hot tall half Asian guy with steel abs that you drooled over?" he inquired without looking at her face. 'he really got aunt's traits' he thought
"Ahh!! Or is it the one who beat you at swimming? tsk tsk it was a sight to behold" turns to look at Aspen who was boiling in fury. "oh silly me, they are the same person, right?"
"Skylar!!!"
"what?? Am trying to think here!" Skylar defended himself earning a sharp glare from Aspen.
"Fine fine, I understand your hatred for each other even though I don't understand why you hate each other for no reason, so if I may ask, what happened to him? Cus you remembering him feels weird"
Aspen's face had turned pink in anger and embarrassment as she recalled the past event. She shuddered in disgust.
"You could have told me you planned on getting back at me instead of pissing me off with that nicompoop!" she said.
Skylar chuckled "If I had told you, it wouldn't have been fun now would it?" Aspen rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, Why do you think I'd remember that over grown jerk? tsk...he's not worth my remembrance. Check your phone idiot!" Aspen said as she stomped her feet angrily.
"And one more thing, I never drooled over him, he's definitely not my type" with that said, she picked up her bag and left the room.
On her way out, she bumped into a guy with Harry Potter glasses. "am so sorry, i wasn't watching" she apologised quickly and walked away. Her sense of smell tingled as she subconsciously took in the cologne of the guy she bumped into. Shaking her head vigorously, she thought 'I should get way from here.
The guy she bumped into smiled and walked into the room she just came out from leisurely.

Few minutes later, class started with physics. It continued for two straight hours before the teacher left the class after instructing them.
"Since you all are in you final year in college, I'd advice you all to please focus more on your studies. I can understand that you're all from prestigious family, but its not all the time your family name will speak for you. I hope you understand my good intentions?"
"yes teacher!"
"good! So your assignment will be....."
And that was how the class ended for that period. Aspen remain seated while the rest of her classmates headed out to do some things. Two female students walked up to her.
"Aspen! Hey!"
Aspen responded to them with a small smile adorning her petite face. "what's up?"
" we're cool....just wanted to say your back pack looks cool" the brunette girl said as she tried to curry favour with Aspen.
Aspen's family is among the top five families in the whole of country F, so it was natural for many to curry favour with her or her elder brother.
"nah there's nothing special about it....thanks by the way" Aspen shrugged.
"actually.....thing is....umm.....we need your help....." the second girl stuttered.
Aspen raised a brow in question "am not a monster, feel free to talk"
The brunette girl cleared her throat lightly before saying "we didn't understand the topic for today, so we were hoping you could explain it to us." Aspen chuckled frightening the two girls. "fine, let's head to the café after break. Is it okay by you?" she asked earning a quick nod from the both of them.
"All right then, its settled" she smiled before asking "mum please what are your names?"
"oh am Layla and she's Doris" the brunette girl said with excitement which seemed strange to Aspen. Normally, she expected them to get passed off for not knowing their names even though they've been in the same class for six years.
After the brief exchange, Aspen settled down in class with her head phones on as she tried to distract herself from the news she had received about King while programming her games on her tablet. Minutes later, the students rushed out with their phones in hand.
As a result of the head phone and the video game she had deeply engrossed herself with, she didn't realise it. The head of the school's cheerleading team walked up to her and tapped her making her jolt.
"You're not going to see them?" she asked
Aspen feigned ignorance as she looked at the girl "see who?"
The girl was flustered "the trindom!" how can you not know them! They were our classmates before they went to join the military!!"
Aspen could only mouth an 'O' as she looked innocent. "should I know them?" she asked "besides I still have to program my games" she left the latter part unsaid. She then returned her attention to her tablet making the girl turn around and leave as she muttered "boring". Aspen heard her and rolled her eyes "it's not like they're new anyway, at least I'm not on good terms with....ughhh"
She continued to program her games, as she did so, She got a call from her brother.
"what's up bro!" She said casually. "are you in the class already?" Finn asked.
"yeah...why?"
"seriously.....you know what, let me call you on video call" Finn ended the call and called through video call.
'He's already at the company' she thought.
"poppie, say, if you're done for the day, can you come over to the office?" he asked making Aspen smile "bro, is that why you wanted to call me through video call or you have another thing to say?"
Downstairs, the teachers and security team tried to curb down the commotion but all their efforts were made futile. One of the teachers wondered in frustration "are these not elite children? How can they act like commoners!!?"
A while later, a girl exclaimed "we've been tricked!!" thereby making everywhere silent.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" another girl asked.
"Or are you trying to trick us??" a gut chipped in.
The crowd echoed "Yes" making the girl panic .
"No no! They're upstairs! On the third floor! Look!" she said and pointed towards the third floor, everyone looked and saw three boys walking towards a class with elegance and the chased after them.
Aspen who was lost in her own world and was oblivious to her surroundings, continued with her programming. She only stopped when she noticed six pairs of thighs in front of her desk....then she perceived a familiar scent. Her brain reminded her of the guy she bumped into earlier on. Raising her head to meet the guy with the unique scent, she was immensely disappointed as she saw the person whom she had never wanted to see!!!! Making her scream her lungs out!
