Chapter 4 - Chapter 4:it's just a cup ...

Well today was a busy day , it was the first day of their lectures... . The first lecture was the 'Introduction to Robotics' lecture , all the students crackled with anticipation.

The room smelled of fresh ink, nervous excitement, and a hint of metaphysical curiosity. Peach ,sat near the window,with an open notebook in front of her ,her pencil in-between her lips , her eyes scanning the room for adventure. Next to her, an empty seat ...

Cyrus padded in, wagging his invisible tail .His golden eyes swept the room, assessing each student. When they landed on Peach ,he tilted his head. 'familiar scent ' he thought.'. Sandalwood '.

" Heyy , you early "...Cyrus said with a smile plastered on his face ..

" Well I wanted to find the best spot in the class ".. Peach said , feeling proud of herself..

" You did , this is a perfect spot , " Cyrus said patting Peach's shoulder .

Professor Hartford swept into the room, her silver hair catching the light. She was an elderly woman, her way of teaching was somewhat understandle and tiring at the same time ..

She spoke of kinematics, sensors, and robotic arms, well this was a lecture on Robotic Arms ...it was not exciting...but well they have to learn how to enjoy it...

Cyrus doodled in his notebook-robotic wolves chasing mechanical squirrels. His sketches danced with hidden magic. The lecture was draining hence he chose to draw ...

Peach leaned in closer as she looked at Cyrus's drawings .."Your drawings are wild."

"Metaphorically," Cyrus agreed. "I like to think they're portals to other dimensions."

" That's cool , you should teach me how to draw"..

As the lecture ended, Peach closed her notebook. "Want coffee?"she asked.

Cyrus's ears perked. "Coffee is like liquid curiosity. Let's explore the café , I've never bothered to look for it " ...

"Well because you enjoy sketching all day ,instead of trying something new ..."

" I'm different.. besides I used to be a certified loner ... Now I got you "... Cyrus said trying to look like cute puppy ..

" Ohh please ,don't give me that look " ... Peach said her laughter echoing in the corridor.

After getting their coffee they opted to sit in the school cafe ,and get some rest before their next lecture...

They were having a great conversation when Aven appeared with Soren... Aven's cheecks flushed , "Hi," he said. "I mean, hello. I'm Aven ,oh shit , we've already met ".

Cyrus could not hold in his laughter and so did Soren , Cyrus nudged his brother .."Smooth, big brother, why are you acting this way "

Aven had no time to entertain Cyrus so he focused on Peach ... He stuttered." Peach,you're like...a rare algorithm. My heart's buffering."

Peach could not help it as she laughed a little ,"Buffering? Cute." She said while focusing on her coffee.

Aven felt at loss of words , he was saying the wrong things whenever he opened his mouth... He felt like he has to say something to Peach. He stammered. "I-I like your…uh, coffee cup."

Peach blinked. "It's just a cup."she looked confused...

Aven's mind blanked. "Yes, well, cups are important. I mean, they hold coffee. And life."

Okay that statement took , Cyrus, Soren and Peach out as they, burst out laughing. "Smooth." Peach said ..

" Umm brother I think you've said enough for today , please excuse us , Soren please take your friend" ...Cyrus said trying to ease the awkward situation..

"Sure" . Soren answered as he shock his head , taking Aven as they left ...

"Owkaay what was that " ," is your brother on drugs " ...Peach asked trying hard to suppress her laughter .

" His not , maybe he likes you , yesterday he just snapping at me , because he saw me hugging you "...

" That's crazy , " Peach chuckled

" Right let's drink our coffee before that psycho comes back to tell us that , coffee cups are important".. Cyrus said with a grin on his face...

" Oh please,I don't wanna laugh anymore"..

" Would you date a wolf though...?".. wth Cyrus found himself asking such a stupid question to Peach ....

Like what the hell.....
