Zada groaned and looked behind her to see Liam Fredrick smirking at her.
"Don't even think about making me miss another lecture." Zada warned
"Oh you want to miss me instead. So that you could realise the depth of your feelings for me" Liam said flirtily
"You know what. I am not going to respond to your silly pick up lines and waste my time. Goodbye Fredrick" she said and stalked away
Zada entered her literature class and took her window side seat in the last corner
She took her text book out of her bag and placed it on her desk when she felt someone sitting on the seat next to her
"That was rude sweetheart. Walking away from the love of your life without so much as a goodmorning kiss. Mean Mirrie" Liam complained and Zada pursed her lips in annoyance
"What are you doing here? You are not in this class" Zada said
"Who cares??" He shrugged
Before she could respond, their professor Mrs Rachel entered the class room
Everyone stood up to greet her. Well everyone except The great Liam Fredrick. He simply sat there leaning back against his chair, his legs stretched out in front of him leisurely
"Good morning class. Take your textbooks out. Let's continue from where we left off in the last class"
The paper they are doing this semester is William Shakespeare's classic Romeo Juliet
Zada opened her book and was listening to the lecture when she felt the hot breaths on her neck
She jerked back and looked beside her to see Liam leaning towards her
"What do you think you are doing, Fredrick" Zada whisper yelled
"I don't have a book. Let's share yours" Liam said
"No"
"Sharing is caring Mirrie"
Zada ignored him and tried to concentrate in the class
"Don't you think Romeo is a paedophile??" Liam asked
"What?" The voice came out louder than she expected
"What is going on in the last bench" Mrs Rachel asked
"Nothing Ma'am" Zada responded quickly
"You! You do not belong to this class" Mrs Rachel said pointing at Liam
"That's really sad " Liam said with a mock sad face
"You are Liam Fredrick right??" Mrs Rachel asked
"The one and only" Liam grinned at the professor
"What are you doing here boy. Why are you sitting in my class"
"You should feel lucky to have me in your class Ma'am. Do you have any idea how many professors have begged me to attend their lecture? And here I am, attending your wonderful class without you even asking me. Isn't that awesome" Liam asked and students laughed at that
"Uh.. Well. Don't disturb my students. If you want to attend the class, sit quietly and do that " Mrs Rachel said flustered and Zada shook her head in disbelief
"Oh I was just pointing out a doubt to Mirrie here"
"Mirrie?"
"Yeah Mirrie. The point is, don't you think Romeo is a paedophile?" Liam asked
The professor looked at him in horror
"What??"
"Come on Ma'am. Juliet babe here, is only thirteen and Mr Romeo married her. And you call it a tragic love story. The real tragedy is a thirteen year old being married off. Don't you think so" Liam asked
"It's a 14th century love story Mr Fredrick." Mrs Rachel said
"You mean paedophiles of 14th century could be respected" Liam asked sarcastically
"He was not a paedophile. He was not an old man"
"Yeah I agree his age was never mentioned. But he was definitely older than Juliet. And moreover he attended the ball where he met Juliet, so that he could meet Rosie. He was even in depression because of not having Rosie"
"It's Rosaline Mr Fredrick"
"Rosaline Rosie, it's all the same. You know what I mean. What I think is, he was depressed when he met Juliet. So Juliet is definitely his rebound fling" Liam said
"Shut up and get out of my class, Mr Fredrick" Mrs Rachel pointed the door to him
Liam threw his hands up in air
"This is why I don't attend lectures. The professors here are not qualified enough to clear my doubts. Come on Mirrie. There is no point sitting in the class" Liam said pulling a horrified Zada along with him
"What the hell. Let go of me Liam." Zada tried to wriggle her arms out of his hold
"Where are you taking my student? Leave her"
"She stays, I stay. I leave, she leaves. Your choice Ma'am" Liam said shrugging his shoulders
"Get out of my class you both" Mrs Rachel said losing her patience
"Ma'am. I didn't do anything" Zada began to plead her case when Liam cut her off
"Come on Mirrie. Value your self respect more. Do not stay where you are not wanted." He said pulling her out of the class
Once they are in the corridor, Zada pushed him away angrily
"What the hell is your problem? I lost my attendance again. All because of you"
"Attendance doesn't matter sweetheart. You could always do some volunteer works at the end of the semester to compensate"
"Unlike You, I come here to study."
"Nerdy Mirrie"
"Yeah. And who is the one who is well versed with Romeo Juliet here. Secret nerd" Zada said crossing her arms across her chest and Liam looked caught for a moment
"It's my mom. She used to read it to us when we were kids"
"Yeah right. Romeo Juliet was your bedtime story."
"Yeah. My mom is a hopeless romantic. What can I do??"
"What you can do is leave me the hell alone Fredrick"
