"i guess i have to leave now, i shouldn't create an un-necessary scandal" rush said and walked away as he sighted three girls walking towards Alicia
"oh, the guy who just left must be the reason you broke up with jerry" the first girl named Abi said and the others scoffed
"i can't believe a low life like that turned jerry down" the second girl named mara said in disgust
"she even has the mind to post it on the school forum. i must say you are too full of yourself for an orphan" the last girl named clara said
"If he's too good then you guys should have him, must i also drool over him because he's handsome even though he's a jerk?" alicia said angrily
"what! did you just call jerry a jerk?" Abi asked furiously
"yes, so what?" alicia said and the next moment a slap landed across her face
"how dare you...." Abi spatted at her and the others eyed her
Rush used his face cap and mask before walking out of his hiding place
"you have so much guts huh..." clara said and kicked her
"What are you doing Ali? fighting back is the best weapon against bullies" rush said and pulled her into his embrace "i dont prefer a dumb girlfriend no matter how much i claim to like you so....." Rush poised and brought his face near to hers "Next time, make sure each of them go bald" rush said and smiled
Alicia's heart race as she saw his smiling face behind the mask
"what- what is he saying?" Abi panicked
"hey! who are you? I'm sure you aren't a student here" clara said
"Let's just leave guys, he looks suspicious" mara said and dragged her friends away
"i thought they were crazy fans, i would've recognized you right away even though you are in disguise" Alicia said and rush smiled
"maybe that's because you are a special fan and not just crazy or perhaps, you are too obsessed with my beautiful face" rush said and alicia glared at him making his smile widened
"I thought you left" Alicia said
"i wanted to, but i suddenly felt like eavesdropping and i found out that my friend is the bullies toy" rush said and alicia blushed
"what, friend?" she stuttered and rush smiled
he caress her hair and tuck her hair strand behind her ear
"yes, i decided to make you my first friend, i saved my contact on your phone, you can call me whenever , I'd come rushing if I'm not too busy" rush said and Alicia blushed and looked away coyly
"so, how did you unlock my phone? Wait, were you the one who.....?" Alicia trailed and glared at him suspiciously
"Yes, i shouldn't have done that without your consent, now everybody is blaming you" Rush said and alicia laughed
"You have a problem, are you aware?" she asked and rush frowned
"what problem?" he asked
"You never apologize for your mistake" alicia said and rush chuckled
"oh, my bad! but, don't you think I'm too big for that? my pride would be hurt" Rush pouted and Alicia laughed
"your bio is very different from the physical you, i think you should really go now, those girls are still watching" alicia said and Rush glanced at the three girls from earlier who were watching them from a corner side
he pulled Alicia by the waist and pecked her cheek which went crimson red immediately
"what- what was that for?" she stuttered after snapping out of her daze
"i told them you are my girlfriend earlier, its only normal for me to give you a goodbye kiss, besides it's a gift for always making my day whenever we meet, I'd leave now....since the girls are watching" Rush winked at her and walked away with his hands in his pockets in his perfect gait

"even with the mask on, anyone can tell that he's dazzlingly cute, his blue eyes are so beautiful and rare'' mara said dreamily and held her chest dramatically
"you are right, should we waylay him and remove his mask?" clara suggested
"should we?" Mara turned to Abi for permission
"come to think of it, in the whole of xx city, only one person has such sparkling blue eyes, his features, and the disguise..."
"Don't tell me..." Mara and Clara's eyes dilated
"Right! that might be Larson Rush" Abi said with squinted eyes
"But, isn't it quite impossible? what would Larson Rush be doing with a low life like Alicia? he even called her his girlfriend and pecked her, that's utterly impossible! Larson Rush isn't that friendly" Mara thought aloud
"I think we should just save the stress and ask the bitch herself, she's the only one who knows the face behind that mask" Abi said said and they all thrusted towards Alicia
~
"If you are here to ask me about the guy who just left then I'm sorry to disappoint you,
"and I'm sure you heard what he said earlier? i might really pull your hair out, I'm sure you don't wanna go bald" Alicia said with a meaningful grin on her face
"oh oh, look at her talking back now" Mara said I'm disbelief
"Let's just go guys, its useless talking to her" About said and walked away with the girls
"wow" Alicia said and smiled
she remembered Rush pecking her and subconsciously touched her cheek which is still red
"girlfriend huh?" she thought with a smile and sauntered towards the lecture room

Jason was operating his laptop in the study when Isabella walked in
"sorry to barge in unannounced" Isa said
"it's fine, do you need something?" Jason asked
"Yes, please can you help me invite your grandmother over?" Isa requested and jason frowned
"and why should I?" he asked suspiciously
"She might be off help, please. and one more Thing! i think you should be nice to her. when things are clear, I'm going to tell you everything" isabella said and walked out of the study
Jason tapped on the table and his brows creased
"grandmother? what business does Isabella have with her?" he thought aloud.
