~The Human World
Lorenzo dropped Layna and May off at the Literature department. They all attended the same college, Whiteriey College. Lorenzo was a fourth year student of Civil Engineering while May and Layna were literature majors.
After they alighted he said,
"Study well you two ... Stay away from trouble, Layna" he glanced at Layna meaningfully while she rolled her eyes.
"Please watch her May... You're more mature"
"Sure " May giggled.
Layna squinted at Lorenzo and said,
"I shall not stoop to your level this morning"
She turned on her heels and walked away. May quickly followed after waving Lorenzo.
"Bye peach!" He waved back and drove away.
Layna stopped in her tracks, mischief dancing in her. She turned to May who was blushing,
"Peach? Wow... What the hell is going on?"
"Mmhmm" May cleared her throat "we're gonna be late to class if we keep dawdling like this"
Later they were seated in class. The place was rowdy but the discussions were centered around a certain Morgan.
"I wonder who Morgan is" May said
"I'm quite interested in why you're called peach" Layna replied.
All of a sudden the surroundings were quiet. Layna and May turned to the entrance only to see a handsome tall man in a windbreaker walking in like he was on the walkway.
He mounted the podium and wrote his name on the board. He turned and faced the class,
"I'm Morgan Orion"
Squeals were heard from the students,
"So handsome" the girls gushed while the guys looked uninterested
"Damn" May swore "today is my day"
Layna on the other hand looked at the lecturer with a bit of dislike.
"He knows his charms and he's damn well using it" she said
Morgan stood like a pine tree on the podium, with straight long legs and and inverted triangle torso, he was a walking aphrodisiac.
He had a lean stature, broad shoulders, angular face, pale skin and contrasting raven black hair reaching his shoulders. His eyes were as dark as his hair and a red tear drop mole adorned his lower left eye lid. Morgan's eyes glanced through the crowd of student and spotted Layna with a glance.
'what a pretty little thing' he thought
"Why are you worked up?" May asked after Layna's snarky comment
"No reason" she replied
Finally Morgan began the class. He spoke and wrote on the board fluently while exuding male pheromones.
He turned to the class after a while,
"Now who can explain what literature is as a form of communication?"
Several hands were raised in the class. He looked at Layna who had her hands down engrossed in what she was writing and pointed at her,
"Yes miss redhead"
All eyes turned to Layna who eventually realized what was wrong, her expression crumbled in annoying.
Gritting her teeth in hate she stood up and replied,
"
"
After a brief pause she continued,
"And my name is Layna , Sir"
Morgan hooked his blood red lips in a smile. His foxy eyes were curved upwards making the mole underneath his left eye seem like it was dancing.
'Feisty' he thought
"Well said Miss Layna" Morgan said and continued with the class.
After the class, Morgan left and the students gathered in cliques all discussing what had just occurred.
As Layna and May walked through the corridor, they overheard some girls dissing Layna.
"She must have done it on purpose" one of the girls hissed.
Layna stopped and glanced at them while May urged,
"Layna... Let's just go"
"Shhhh... Listen"
Another one of the girls said,
"Her intentions were so obvious... She dyed her hair such an eye catching colour to attract attention"
One of the girls saw Layna staring at them and paled. She tried to signal the other girls quietly when one of them said,
"What a slut! She's seducing men at such a young age"
"Mira!" The frightened girl exclaimed. She gestured to look behind them and they were horrified to see Layna.
One of them cocked her brows and asked,
"You're not afraid to do it but you're scared when people talk about it?"
Fire seemed to burn in Layna's eyes. She took out a little photo form the side of her bag and stuffed it into the hands of the girl who questioned her,
"Gossip about this"
With that she sauntered off.
The girls looked at the picture flabbergasted.
"How can anyone's hair be so red?!" They exclaimed
Layna had given them a photo of her as a baby and her hair was just as red.
Layna and May made their way to the engineering building to look for Lorenzo. Wherever they passed, people turned to stare at them. They were beautiful in differing ways. Layna was more of a red spider lily of the Netherworld while May was pure and gentle like a white rose.
As they stood outside the class waiting, a group of boys approached them. The one who seemed to be the gang leader walked up to them,
"Hello ladies... I'm Richard Dutchson, son of the Mayor..."
He was cut off by Lorenzo who came out of nowhere and put his arms on the girls' shoulders.
"Let's go" he urged
Richard stared at Layna's departing figure for awhile then smirked and left.
As they walked to the parking lot, Layna asked,
"Frenemy?"
"No..." Lorenzo replied "just avoid that guy... He goes around harassing juniors like you and walks away scot free because his dad is the Mayor"
Layna broke free from his hold and turned to look at him,
"You still haven't gotten used to the idea that Dad is rich... Like filthy rich" she enunciated
Lorenzo rubbed his forehead,
"Just stay out of trouble Layna.." he lowered his head to look at May,
"You too peach"
"Why peach anyways?" Layna asked intrigued
"Haha... She has peachy..."
"Ouch!" May tripped and Lorenzo quickly held her up.
"Jeez peach ... So much for being besties" Layna sulked.
