The lecture flew by quite slow and soon enough three hours had passed .The professor's old in age quickly packed his things as his lecture came to an end, but not before giving out the most dreaded thing in college a group assignment. From the students groans he easily rescinded his words and quickly turned the affair into a duo task, a task that was as exhilarating but much better received by the people.
Cliff, who was always a loner, was ready to suffer looking for a mate,but fate had other things in store. "Hey want to do it together?" He heard someone ask him. Dismayed he looked beside him to find the source of the familiar voice. He locked eyes with the small lady seated next to him and for a moment he could see the shine in her eyes expecting a positive answer.
With a deep sigh he eventually yielded and nodded. Heri the laddy in question could not help but smile widely from the answer a smile which she quickly retracted inwardly bashing herself for her weird reaction.
This reaction did not escape Cliff's watchful eyes as he was slightly amused, he let even let out a slight chuckle much to both their amazement, both for different reasons.
Heri's POV
I don't know what's wrong with me. Ever since I sat next to this guy i cannot even concentrate in class. He has good facial symmetry and a sharp jawline and his beautiful green eyes although always cold still cannot hide how good looking he is.
God what am i thinking during class time, it's all his fault. I mean how dare he ignore me when i did my best to be polite and say hello. She thought as she stole glimpses of Cliff who sat next to her. She could not help but notice his good looks and his cold demeanor added more to his male charm.
This was not the first time she had seen him as they had had more than one encounter but this time, she truly took a closer look at him and could not help but praise his looks compared to the almost goblin from the night before Cliff looked more like a prince.
She blushed lightly from those thoughts cursing her brain to concentrate on work. As the lesson came to an end, she was secretly happy as the professor assigned the duo project .Once the class was done, she quickly turned to her side asking the guy first guy she had ever thought of as handsome to pair up with her an action which not only left her surprised but also the other party.
Am such a dork oh my god he's definitely going to say no, and ill be embarrassed. Please earth swallow me, ancestors am sorry I failed you. She thought as she waited for his response surprised at herself that she did not flee immediately after uttering those words.
When she saw him nod his head, she was shell shocked, a wide smile appeared on her face that she quickly covered up. She glanced at the guy in front of her only to see him chuckle, an action that left her astonished as she thought that was an act that could not come from someone cold like him.Although he easily covered the smile which left her thinking it might have been a figment of her imagination.
She quickly asked to exchange numbers as she fled the scene to avoid further embarrassment leaving behind a perplexed guy who for some reasons his eyes had become a bit warmer .
Cliff was also surprised from his reaction. The only people he'd ever been open with were his little sister and depending on his mood Ella. He however shook his head and was just glad that he would not have to have a hard time looking for someone to do the assignment together with.
He soon left campus as that was his only class for the day and heade for the small library which was his part time . Getting there in notime he quickly changed into his staff uniform and got ready for the day.
