The Campus Encounter

ch 4 - First day of classes

Alida was still feeling a bit off the next day, so we came outside the campus to find a cafe and have a bite for breakfast

We wandered around a bit before our first classes . As much as I wished for her to be in the same classes as me , she wasn't. She and I only had Mathematics in common .

After saying our best wishes to each other we took our paths to our classrooms .

I entered the class where I was about to have my 1st lecture of finance and saw almost everyone seated in groups , only freshmen like myself were seated alone . There was a particular group that came to my notice .

Only girls surrounding one boy . I couldn't see his face . Well anyways . I started walking towards an empty seat with coffee and books in my hand .

Suddenly a girl rushed almost knocking me down and took the seat I was reaching for . She Immediately turned back after sitting and started trying to have a conversation with that boy whom all the girls surrounded like flies, without saying sorry . He was handsome.. really handsome...

Pissed that the coffee spilled a bit on my tshirt , which was opaque 2 seconds ago , but now it's translucent.

I angrily looked at her and the group she was talking to.
And walked away taking the seat in the next row .

To my surprise the boy came towards me and handed me his jacket .

" Here, I'm sorry " he said

" It's not your fault " I said , meeting  a rather pretty gaze, he had a masculine face with sharp jawline and pretty hazel eyes, sharp features and now that he had his jacket off I could see that he spends time in the gym.

" The way you looked at me , I felt like I was at fault " he said smirking

" Well it isn't your fault , sorry for looking at you like that , and thank you for your jacket " I said giving it back to him .

He just puts the jacket around me .  Like he could ? I feel touched and exploited at the same time. I try to protest. But something about his gaze tells me he wasn't buying it .
The smell of his Cologne hit my nose in the right amount, it was definitely "The Paco Rabanne" my rich cousin has one on display to flaunt  how rich he is . He only ever uses it to brag about it .

"Can I sit here " he said pointing to the seat next to me .

" I don't think that's a good idea " I said looking at all the girls glaring at me from around the classroom .

He sat down crossed his leg and said " you worry to much "

I look at him kind of annoyed .
And don't say another word to him .
