See You In Cosmos

familiar voices

Chapter#8

I was sitting on the back seat, there were the stair case that goes down to the whiteboard of the class. The door to exit and enter was at the back in between the aisle.

'Why is that person's voice so familiar?' I whispered to myself.

'...Xanthophylls are the class of oxygen-containing carotenoids pigments responsible for colors like yellow, orange, and red hues flowers, vegetables and fruits in plants...' he kept on reading for the class on the mic in front of his desk. I felt like he was forced to read, because his tone felt a bit annoyed.

'Can I stop reading? I was just tired ma'am! I will not be late again, I promise! Okay?... Please?... Sorry?' that familiar voice said.

'No! keep on reading, Benjamin Cullen, and don't consider coming to my class rather than coming late. I won't mind that!' Lecturer said in angry tone.

'I will not come, but right now I am tired. I love you! Okay? May I sit?' the student called Benjamin replied.

'Keep on reading!'

'Why so familiar?' I whispered again.

I could only see his back. But the physique seemed to be intimate to me. Maybe I am just trippy. How would I know anyone from this lavish college. Maybe I am just so tired? Feels like a temperature is hot in here due to this argument! I don't want to get involved.

With those thoughts I decide to exit the class. I stood up and walked in between the staircase when suddenly someone shot their foot out to make me trip on the ground.

'Ahhhhh!' I cried out of pain

'Fuck that hurts!' I whispered to myself.

'Sorry for that.' A deep voice said.

So damn familiar. The fuck?

Before I could reply back to that voice, he stood up.

'Oh my God! Are you okay? Are you hurt? Cullen? Your sister? She is your sister right? She fell off the stairs! Maybe she needs to go to the Med care room!'

I went blank. Cullen? Who? Brother? The fuck?

'Wait I am not his sister, I am Mar...' I whispered to the deep voice.

Ooh God! My sista!' he came rushing towards me. Almost had tears in his eyes.

What in this Caucasian world is happening?

'You tripped again? You heart okay? Heart rate okay?' He shouted so that everyone could listen. 'play along, play along.' He whispered to me.

'Yeah... I guess.' I replied not knowing what was happening.

I shot a deadly look toward the deep voice guy as he covered his mouth hiding his laugh he was holding and was playing like he was about to cry whenever lecturer looked at him.

'What the hell is going on up there?' lecturer shouted in her mic.

'My...! My sister has a heart disease she often falls on the ground.' He turned back to me as I was still on the ground.

'One time she split her head open.' He started crying. What an actor. Why is he not in the film department?

'She seems fine to me.' Lecturer said quiet concerned, coming upstairs slowly.

'Are you okay?' another voice whispered from behind that deep voice guy.

I know that voice! He is? He is...? First voice? The one who said I was pretty. And Mr. Cullen is I am guessing the second voice from the river bridge?
