Office

As I stayed in Evan's arms for a while without him mentioning anything, I became calm and came to consciousness that I was really in his arm after getting his fresh colon. I didn't pull away instantly because it felt really comfy but something came to me like a knock that Evan is not the demon I felt he was. It was someone else I still need to find out who that is.

My hands were still tugging him tight like a child holding her dull. I didn't want to let go but I did and he slowly let go giving a soft gaze.

He properly wiped off my tears robing his hands on my fragile jaws causing me to lean into his touch.

"Are you finally going to tell me what's going on?" he questioned almost in a whisper.

Sincerely, I don't plan on keeping it from him. the only reason I didn't tell him last time was that I felt he was making a fool out of me by making me sound crazy since I knew he was the beast but that theology has been erased.

I stare into his eyes pouring out my emotions and he receives with upon hands beaconing me to trust him.

I nod and begin "During lectures…I-I started feeling dizzy and I knew something bizarre was about happening to me so, I recalled the teacher's advice of me excusing myself to the infirmary if I have to, which I did but the instance I stepped out, I couldn't control my limbs which landed me against the wall followed by a trance. In my unconscious state, I-I saw a strange girl wearing shattered cloths with a blunt hair which was a little messy, altogether with her frozen look but she wasn't facing me and she kept screaming which sounded like the entire humanity was yelling at once in my ears…When she turned around, my pulse increased and lungs tightened, I was unable to move as I found myself gasping for air. It felt like my world was coming to an end. Then-then I saw those eyes…dark, merciless, grievant…I couldn't bare it…I-I don't know what could happen to me if you didn't show up…"

"That's ok…She's not here anymore�� he wraps his hands around me and I do the same falling my face on his broad breastplate.

We stood there for some time holding each other tight when we heard a voice "Nice, Evan" Mrs. Jana's!? I pulled away instantly but Evan didn't seem surprised by her presence.

Her eyeballs moved to me, then to Evan and back to me with crunched fonts "What's going on here?" Mrs. Jana interrogated.

How could I be so dumped by letting my emotions take the whole of me in such an open atmosphere? I sigh not knowing where to start since I knew what Mrs. Jana was thinking after seeing us this close.

"Uhh-"

"She wasn't feeling well so I hugged her to calm her down" Evan picked up instantly.

Mrs. Jana still wasn't satisfied as she kept on a confused look between both of us.

"Are you feeling better now?" she questions staring at me

I nod at once "Yes I'm well now…" For some odd reason, I become very nervous causing my wrist to move spontaneously taping my tights.

Her gaze follows my action and back to my tensed face "You sure?" she persists

"Absolutely" I respond trying to keep a steady posture this time and Evan is just so normal and steady.

But yeah he has to be. After all, we were just hugging, right? Uhh…I do not want to know what is wrong with me. The question should remain unanswered.

"I should head to class now," Evan says

"Yeah me too" I take over immediately and they both stare at how quick I let that out.

Evan doesn't say anything else as he turns back and strolls away. I was about following him when Mrs. Jana called "Nice"

I turn around at once and stare into her look blankly "Could you see me after school?"

"Sure ma'am," I say shortly and she walks away living me wondering what exactly she wants to say.

Turning around, of course, I couldn't get a trace of Evan but when I moved ahead, I got his strong scent and rolled my head to the side only to see Evan gesturing himself to walk. Why didn't he go to class?

"I thought you left already," I say and he looks at me blankly before responding "What if you got attacked again? I had to make sure you're safe to class before I walk in so common"

He gestures for me to move ahead and I do not resist as I walk into class partially amazed at his characteristics.

He has never portrayed any other form of emotions apart from the concerns he shows but he isn't so formal either.

I gratefully take my seat and though I don't look back, I'm certain he just walked in because of the look the teacher elm ahead then at me with crumbled fonts but I don't pay attention to that as I look into my book very focused.

An extravagant book with a dragon in the name of physics. Unfortunately, I'm not Merlin who understands or controls dragons, and neither I'm I from his lineage. So why kill me?

**

It was lunch break and everyone had dispersed to the cafeteria except Koryn who stayed back for I don't know what reason.

I matched out with Abigale and as soon as we arrived in the school corridors, Abigale exclaimed "I can't believe she carried the courage to return to this school after what she did to Evan with his brother"

"We're not certain she did that on purpose girl. Like you told me, maybe she was drunk" I stand against

"Maybe… is not being certain"

"Exactly! We can't stand strong on our opinions so let's stick to it then judge. I guess that's why she's seated alone in class. I feel pity for her"

"I will take back my words if I was you," she says and I stare at her with folded brows and she adds "Because you have no idea what she can do. Maybe I didn't mention that to you but get this in your skull." She stops and faces me "she's not the type of person you think she is. She is even crazier than Jessica and her puppies. And about her being alone, it won't be a matter of time before you see the friends she'll gather from the acts class, then you will surely reverse your statement"

I've never seen Abigale so serious and frightened about anything the way she is now. Her words really got into me and erected my spine and I can see the endorsement in her eyes.

"Ok," I say and she smiles broadly "Let's head to the lunch hall before those creepy social prefects swallow all the food" I laugh at her sarcasm and we proceed with our momentum.

As we sat and dinned together with the juniors on the same table, johns burst out from nowhere and settled next to me and at once, I heard a loud lope dub from the left side of my chest, loud enough for the entire room to get.

"Heyy" he gestures towards me and Abigale and she reddens as well as the juniors who were sitting with us.

"Hi" we respond at once the juniors started giggling and murmuring to themselves.

His fragrance was so fresh, light-headed, and less intense. I just loved it.

"Hope you don't mind me sited here?"

I raised my brows "Of course not…Are you kidding me!" I speak out the last sentence under my breath but he gets it chuckling.

He opens the can drink he has been holding, raises it to his pink lips, and drains the liquid within into his esophagus which goes down showing off his Adam's apple, after which he drops the can drink on the table and his pink lips become red due to how watery it became.

I inset a fork full of spaghetti into my mouth and begin masticating but stop in the view of Johns' piercing gaze.

"You have some paste on the corners of your lips" he informs and my eyes grow wide as I tensely move my eyes but before I could wipe it off, he did with his thump causing me to freeze, and trust me, I wasn't the only one who froze except for the fact that my eyes were not moving but I felt other teens on the table looking in between the both of us.

"Uhh…thanks" I appreciated giving him a quick look and back to my food while I was cursing myself within me for the embarrassment.

"You left during the physics' teacher's period…were you alright?" he questions

"Yeah…" I say giving him my most serious look and he smiles faintly not taking his gaze from me repeating my statement more in an acknowledgment than a question "Yeah…you're sure"

I just stare at him blankly then nod slowly "Yes…I am sure"

"If you need anything, don't hold back. I'll always be there to help you out" he renders and I give him one of my most grateful smiles.

Abigale gestures with her eyes for me to say something but I just stare at her with an exaggerative questioning look.

"Umm…you did well with the physics teacher. He deserved that for all the pressure and treats he gives students against his sanctions." Abigale praised and he smirked showing off his deep dimples. Damn, he's even more handsome than what I thought when he smiles!

I didn't want that smile to fade off yet so I contributed to the little talk taking this chance to appreciate his assistance in class "Yeah…you did great though I didn't get what you said that cause him to back off. But he sure got kicked by your words. Also, I want to thank you for distracting the teacher from me and speaking up for me. I'm sincerely grateful"

He just stares into my balls with his eyes portraying so many emotions but I don't seem to read all but one which is admiration. And once again, his curved lips grow wide into an electric grin that made me shiver and I automatically found myself smiling back getting lost in his hazel iris.

"He deserved it more, unfortunately, the lady I threatened him about was no other than SV. Annette which I guess they'll be caught soon because I have my eyes pocked in every domain of the school interior." He reports

"What don't you know?" this question slips from my mouth and I which I took it back but go blank when he responded "I don't know what's in those eyes of yours that make me go weak"

Did he just say what I heard him say or my brain has a different translation?

Abigale seals her mouth into a thin line while I and Johns don't keep gazes away from one another. He must be wondering what I'm thinking now I guess. I need to pull away.

But just as I'm about to take eyes off, he announces "I like you" I freeze again for the second time "And I won't hide it"

I've been speechless from the first statement he made but now, I dump for real. I can't speak. It feels like something is sowing my lips.

"You do not have to say anything if you don't want to. Just have your meal before it gets cold. Your plate has not been touched since I walked here"

My mind breaks free and I stare at my plate full of spaghetti that has been seeking my attention.

Abigale acts as though she heard nothing as she plays with her fork on her also a full plate of spaghetti and ketches up.

I spy at the other females by her side on the left and they seem focused on discussing their own stuff. I breathe out a sigh of relief taking up a fork full of meal in my mouth with my eyes making 90degrees towards Johns who still hasn't pulled his countenance away.

It makes me so uncomfortable as I eat very carefully, making sure the source doesn't touch the corners of my lips to prevent a scene from repeating pulling the attention of those chipmunk on our table.

I'm certain just this act will go viral because of them. Can't risk a part one, episode 2 and 3. I sure do know what juniors are capable of doing, and they have no shame for that. I won't blame them anyway, it's a stage in life and when they get older, they'll understand the concept of extravagant gossip.

His stare starts giving me severe heat and I begin making supplication for him to leave which happens surprisingly fast as a guy calls from the end of the hall gesturing Johns to come over.

Oh wow! Today isn't that bad though… I say within me, smiling outwardly but when he turns his gaze from his inpatient friend to me, my grin fades instantly into a slight one.

"I should leave now. We'll see soon…I guess" he says with a sweet smile on his face. "Sure…" I reply

He nods a little hesitant as he looks at me then Abigale and she returns a wide smile before he rises and walks away.

As he faded away his scent aroused the more seeming like he was still here. I just stare at the back of him moving towards his friend who is now bringing his gaze to me with squinted eyes causing me to look away only to find Abigale showing off owl eyes.

I flinch at how wide they were and she burst into laughter not so loud for the other girls to stare at her craziness. And for some unknown reason, I join her since her laughs are always very contaminating.

I've never seen someone who makes me smile or laugh even when I'm not in the mood to, if there's something I hate about her, then it must be that.

To be continued…
