"Hey, Tasha! When's the biology test happening. I accidentally got out of the class group lol" Areles sent the message to her best friend Tasha with a sad frown on her face. " lol that's so funny , how'd it happen Els? By the way the test is tomorrow!! Lol I hope you are prepared." Areles' frown became even worse. Tomorrow!! What the heck!! How was she supposed to study in so little time. Shit!! She cursed her luck. " well umm Tasha, I'm going to grab some coffee first." Areles couldn't tell if she was mad at the stupid guy that removed her from the biology class group or sad that she might fail her biology test. ' God help me!' She whispered to herself.
At the coffee shop, Areles was seated further from the window not even battling an eye to the scene outside the coffee shop. She was completely lost in thought, planning for tomorrow like today meant nothing. ( coughs) The man seated on the other side of the table seemed to have choked on his coffee. His loud cough caused Areles to jolt and immediately turn in to look in his direction. The moment she saw him her heart was thumping loud that she hear it beat herself. She stared not out of love or attraction but resentment. She gave him a bloodshot that him choke seemed better than the stare he was getting from the unknown lady beside. " Is your name Collin? Are you from biology class 2?" She asked him while keeping her eye contact intact. " oh so you know me. I'm the class representative for that class" Collin replied with a smile plastered on his perfectly sculptured dark skinned face. Areles squinted her eyes upon hearing him admit to being the class rep. " oh really, when's the biology test for that class, are you prepared?" Her cherry red lips asked yet another question. " Am I being interrogated here?" Collin spouted out with raised brow on his face. " please just answer the question Collin!!" She retorted in a slightly higher tone though her expression was unreadable.What was this guy even asking. If only he knew how much she wanted to just punch in the face. ' calm down pretty face ' Areles calmed herself . " umm sure, I'm prepared yes, and the test is on tomorrow at 9AM! Why do you ask?" He faced her with questions in his eyes. " Do you know that you removed me from the group sick ass. How am I going to prepare for the test in less than a day?" She couldn't hold on to her anger anymore. She was really pissed from the look in her eyes. " Sorry but I remove a lot of people from the group if they misbehave, post things unrelated to biology and send unnecessary texts. It's my job." Collin responding trying to make her understand that if he did remove her from the group. There had to be a reason. " Alright Collin, I understand. So you removing me from the group for asking about pendant was justified?" She raised her brows. " I'm sorry....I..." Collin at point was just confused. He couldn't recognize the lady speaking to him nor could he remember the issue with the pendant. " I thought so...if I fail Collin..." She trailed off." I'll help you!!"
"..." Areles was dumbstruck. Did he just say he'll help her. How? " huh" she spouted out with surprise filled in her eyes. " I'll help you get ready for the test tomorrow!" He said in a more determined manner. He was Collin after all. No way he'd let a nameless pendant girl make him feel the guilt he was beginning to feel. 'Fuck!' He cursed inwardly. " Alright then but how?" Areles asked. She was now calm and a bit relaxed so it became easier to stop glaring at Collin the whole time. "Follow me to my room, I don't bite just so you know." He smiled at her and gestured to the waiter. " what do you mean follow you to your room?" Areles asked with a bit of shock written all over her face. The waiter arrived seconds after. " How much is the bill?" He asked the tall man on his right. " That would be k50.00 for one cup of espresso!" The waiter replied politely. " Sorry, For the both of us." " I can pay for my cup, besides I came here alone" Areles retorted. " Yes you did but we're leaving together Pendy." He said and smiled before turning to the waiter. And what did he just call he ...Pendy??? Huh. " The total is a k130.00 for everything....Thank you. Please come again!" The waiter said with a smile as he collected the pay. Collin turned to the little Pendant freak in front of him. " Shall we?" He stood up gesturing her to follow him. " I'm only coming with you because of the test. I'm allergic to the male hostels!" She spouted out. " Allergic huh, well I don't live in a hostel. My house is close by." Collin said with a half smile. " oh I see. Your family will be fine with having me come over ?" Areles asked a lit puzzled and shocked that he lived outside Campus. " well You are not someone to worry about plus , I love alone. My family lives overseas Pendy!!" He said as he directed her to his car. It was a black Rolls Royce boat tail
