1 Is that me?
" Hey dude wake up, it's already 8 in the morning" Kenny's voice woke me up from my deep slumber.
I picked up my mobile to see the time: " Shit, I am late, why didn't you woke me up earlier? "
"Haa, so now it's my fault, bro you turned your alarm off at 7 and went back to sleep. Aren't you sleeping too much recently also you keep mumbling something in your sleep" Kenny said with an exasperated expression.
" Whatever, I am running "Saying this I freshened up in less than 10 minutes and ran towards my college.

" DEREK... " the teacher shouted again.
" Is he late again? I told him last time to-"
"Huff.. pre... present sir... " I said out of breath.
" Go take your seat," the teacher said glaring at me while frowning.
" Yes sir " I walked to my seat without wasting a heartbeat.
" Jason "
" Present "

" Dude, you sure are gutsy. Coming late to class even after ' bunny ' made such a huge fuss about it last time " Jack said with a smirk.
" Cut it out, as**ole. I was having a weird dream again and didn't notice the alarm. " I replied, irritated.
" Oh, you're still having wet dreams? Did you wet the bedsheet too?" Jack said amusedly.
" Fuckoff, I am not like you, who got a green hat from his younger brother. Or are you into that ntr stuff, where you're tied on the sofa watching your gf having s*x? " I said showing a middle finger.
" You... " Jack's expression turned ugly.
" Silence " Bunny, the teacher looked around the class after making sure no one was talking, he began to speak.
" Today a transfer student Is coming into our class, she's been transferred here from Oxford. "
" *gasp* "Several gasps sounded in the class and then everyone started murmuring.
" Oh you're here already. Come inside," Bunny said looking outside the class door.
Everyone gazes moves to the door.
" Beauty "
" Goddess "
" I just fell in love "
.
.
.
Several remarks sounded across the class when the new girl entered.
" Introduce yourself, please. " Bunny said obviously and openly trying to flatter her.
" Hello everyone, I am Susan Garcia. " Susan said in a loud and clear voice, even her voice was beautiful. But her expression was ice cold.
I looked at her for a moment. ' oh... She's gorgeous. ' A little surprised by her beauty, then turned my head to look outside. The pain of the breakup was still fresh in my heart, even after months.
" Take your seat," Bunny said in an uncharacteristically gentle voice, not suiting at all his rabbit appearance.
Susan nodded lightly and took an empty seat. Bunny started the lecture while momentarily glancing at Susan from time to time.
...
" I am telling you that 'lecher bunny' is surely horny, look at his face. That's why one should marry before it's too late. Now even ugly aunties refuse to marry Bunny. " Jack whispered.
But maybe his luck was too bad or bunny's ears were too sharp, and he was heard.
Bunny's face turned red and green, between anger and embarrassment. While Jack's face turned totally pale ageing 10 years in a moment.
Bunny dragged Jack out of the class towards the Dean's office, which marked the end of the class. I sighed in relief, just avoiding a half-hour-long nagging and made a RIP sign for Jack before standing up.
Just as I was going out of the class, a voice called out to me.
" Excuse me "
I turned and found out it was the new girl, Susan calling him.
" Yes? Can I help you? " I said politely maintaining a poker face.
After a few moments of silence, she said:
" What's your name? "
" Oh, hello I am Derek Corvin " I replied with a small smile.
Susan stared at my face for a few moments then turned and walked out of the class, leaving behind me completely confused.
Just as Susan walked out, several classmates of mine surrounded me:
" Hey, what did she say to you? "said a student with a big nose ' Ape '
" Nothing, just asking for directions for the cafeteria. " I replied irritated by the sudden crowd
" Don't have ideas about her just cause she talked to you, I am going to propose to her for marriage. "said a student with the shortest height in the class ' shorty '.
" Ha, shorty have you ever looked in a mirror? Even if you're the last male on Earth, I am sure she won't even look at you. " said a student with a bit too fashionable clothes ' Goldy '
" I am not that bad looking, and look at Derek he is average too in every aspect, his looks, his height 5' 6, his marks, his family background, everything about him is average " Shorty retorted.
" Shorty hold your tongue, Don't joke about Derek. He didn't takes pranks too well " Ape said
At this, shorty's face turned a little pale.
" I am not that petty. " I said while gritting my teeth.
" Yes. Yes. Says the guy who broke the leg of his ex's new boyfriend, just because he made her breakup with you. " Ape said while raising the corners of his lips.
" Also don't forget Jimmy, who did a prank on him in class, making everyone laugh at him. Only to get bald and have his photos leaked in the entire college. " Goldy added while moving forward.
" Yeah whenever you get angry, you turn into a completely different person. " said a student with big ears ' Batty '
" Guys you're going off the topic " I said to change the subject.
" Oh, right. We were talking about Susan. I had never seen anyone this beautiful, even with those modest clothes, she looked so sexy. " Goldy said while acting shy.
" Even those loose clothes can't hide her curves. I bet she's an E-cup. And her face is so beautiful, just like an innocent angel . " said Goldy with a dreamy look
I took this opportunity to make a run, and while nobody was paying attention to me, I left the class.
While going to the cafeteria, for some reason everyone kept glancing at me, making me feel awkward.
After reaching the cafe, I met Kenny and took an empty seat.
" Damn, someone is getting a new hot girlfriend. " Kenny said with an ' I know everything ' look in his eyes.
" Who? " I asked him while eating a sandwich.
Kenny took his phone out and showed me a photo making me spit a mouthful of food.
" I didn't know you were in contact with such a beauty " Kenny said while showing a photo of me and Susan.
" How... Why did you have it? " I asked with tensed nerves
" Most students in the college have it. So is she your new gf or are you planning to propose to her " Kenny said excitedly.
" That's not it. She's a new student and just joined today. She's only asking me for directions," I replied.
" Oh, well whatever. At least you'll be famous again for a while," said Kenny with a smirk.
" sigh " I sighed, thinking who might have done this.
The Lunchtime passed with small talks, and then I said goodbye to Kenny and decided to go for my part-time job as I didn't have any more classes for the day.
********
I took my bicycle, put on my earbuds and started riding while whistling to the songs.
I need to go through the jungle, to reach the destination which is 7km away from my dorm. The road is quite deserted as there is rarely anyone passing through here.
So, the crime rate is pretty high in this area. However, I have no choice but to go through here as the other route is more than 20 km long.
*GROWL*
There was rustling around me and sounds of growling. But oblivious to all this because of the music, I kept whistling and paddling.
Suddenly a big shadow covered me completely. I turned my head to the right, but before I could see anything something hit me in the head and made me unconscious immediately.
Everything felt silent, and I embraced the darkness, completely oblivious to the world around me.
***
When I opened my eyes, I was back in my dorm room. I looked around and found that Kenny wasn't there. I stretched and went into the bathroom thinking of the crazy dream I just had.
But something in there scared me shitless. Looking back at me from the mirror was a divinely handsome boy with 6' 4 height and perfectly built muscles that were shaped as if the world's greatest artist's designed with utmost concentration.
