Sassy & Studious: A Campus Romance

Chapter 8

After his class, Zee hurriedly called for an urgent meeting with the student council members. As they gathered, he informed them about Chawarin's agreement to perform for their school. "We need to prepare the stage," Zee announced, his voice filled with excitement. "Just in case he'll be practicing here or blocking."

The student council members nodded in agreement, quickly springing into action to make the necessary arrangements. They discussed logistics, scheduling, and ensuring everything was in place for Chawarin's potential rehearsals.

Meanwhile, after his class, Nunew hurriedly made his way to Lumina Institute Academy. His mind buzzed with anticipation, eager to see Zee and discuss their plans for the performance. As he drove, thoughts of Zee filled his mind, a smile playing on his lips as he looked forward to spending time with him again.

Arriving at the academy, Nunew parked his car and made his way towards the meeting location, his heart pounding with excitement at the prospect of seeing Zee once more.

As Nunew arrived at the school, he quickly called May to ask where she was. To his surprise, the guard at the gate informed him that he was not allowed to enter the premises, citing orders from the secretary of the Student Council, Jane. Unbeknownst to Nunew, Jane harbored a crush on Zee and felt threatened whenever she saw Nunew around him, leading her to abuse her power to keep him away.

Frustrated but undeterred, Nunew attempted to call May for assistance. However, before he could reach her, a crowd of students gathered around him, clamoring for photos and autographs. Unable to resist their enthusiasm, Nunew obliged, smiling and signing photographs as he posed for pictures.

As Nunew was surrounded by the crowd, he couldn't help but smile at their excitement. "Sure, I'll take a photo with you," he said warmly, posing for another picture.

Meanwhile, Zee, who had just exited the Student Council office, noticed the commotion and grew curious. 

Amidst the chaos, Zee approached, his brow furrowed with concern. "Nunew, what's going on?" he asked, trying to make his way through the throng of students.

Nunew glanced up, relieved to see Zee. "Hey, Zee," he greeted with a tired smile. "Just a little unexpected meet-and-greet with the fans," he joked, though the weariness in his voice was evident.

Zee frowned, noticing Nunew's fatigue. "Come on," he said, gently squeezing Nunew's hand. "Let's get you someplace quiet."

Nunew nodded gratefully, allowing Zee to lead him away from the crowd. As they walked towards the Student Council office, Nunew couldn't help but feel grateful for Zee's presence, his heart swelling with affection for the caring gesture.

Zee then asked Nunew why he hadn't just entered the school premises right away to avoid the crowd. Nunew then said that he tried, but the guard wouldn't let him in as someone from the student council had advised the guard not to let him in anymore. 

Zee's confusion deepened at Nunew's revelation. "Who would do such a thing?" he wondered aloud, furrowing his brow in concern.

Nunew shook his head, equally puzzled. "I have no idea," he replied, his tone tinged with frustration. "I don't really know anyone here apart from you, my cousin May, and your friends."

Zee's mind raced as he tried to piece together the situation. "Could it be Jane?" he mused, recalling her occasional jealousy towards Nunew. "She's been acting strange lately."

Nunew's eyes widened in realization. "Jane? The secretary of the Student Council?" he repeated, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "But why would she do something like this?"
