Alorah

Part 26

🖤🖤

It's been three fucking hours that classes had started and my eyes wonder on everyone but can't spot the only person i want to look at.

Right now is the first class I've had where she's supposed to be but when class started and i saw her friends around the room but not her, my fists tightened.

The only reason i got up today to come here was for seeing her.

My eyes couldn't stop going on her empty seat in front of me and it starts to drive me crazy how much it bother me when she's not near me.

Class is about to start when her friend, who's on the seat in front of Drake, turns around to grab something from her bag she putted behind her chair. Her eyes meet mine and she frowns when my eyes keep her from looking away because of my gaze.

I nod at Alorah's seat, asking her where she is without saying a word. She looks at the seat then me, but her gaze doesn't stop on me right away. They turn to Drake who's looking at her too before finally focusing back on me

She just shrugs but there's something in her eyes that tells me she knows something i don't and i absolutely don't like that at all.

I learn forward on the table and darken my glare "stop fucking lie to me. Where the hell she is ?" I whisper harshly.

She narrows her eyes and If I wasn't so angry right now I would love that reaction of her. "she's at home. Sick" she shortly says

"she's the one who told you that ?" Drake asks before I can ask something.

She rolls her eyes "she texted me this morning" She snaps. From behind her I see one of the guy in her friends's group watching us. "now let me concentrate. I have to explain the lesson to Alorah after" she snaps before looking back in front of her.

My back hit the back of my seat as my glare doesn't change at all during class. The teacher goes on and on about French Revolution but my mind couldn't concentrate. 

Was she alone at home while being sick ? 

Or was she with someone like her mother or aunt or someone like that ? 

Is she really sick ? 

My jaw tighten when i noticed how caring i become toward her. It's not on my nature to be like that and i should probably laugh at myself. I learned since i was little to only care about me and the empire. Those are the only things i should get worried about.

But surprisingly, those are the only thing i care less about.

"do not forget to complete chapter 24 to 31 for next week" the teacher yells as students hurried out of his classroom because it's lunch time. Everyone in the hallway walk to the cafeteria but of course when we walked in, our table is empty.

"should we deal with it by ourself without telling the boss ?" Lucas asks as he's taking a sip of his drink right after putting his butt on the bench "are you fucking stupid ?" Sam snaps as his gaze darken on him "do you have a death wish ?"

"i'm just saying that we already dealed with things by ourself without telling him" he mumbles as he drops his drink on the table "yes and we agreed to never talk to him about it" Chase arches an eyebrow at him, probably wondering why the hell he brought this back up.

"I know, i'm just saying- how do you want to prove ourself to him if we can't do anything"

"we prove ourself to him by respecting him" I interrupt their argument with a low voice "we prove ourself to him by getting his trust. You'll only prove to him how much you didn't grow by going behind his back"
