HOOKED (CHAPTER 8):
PLAY NO GAMES

༻❁༺

"Before I dismiss you, I will give you an assignment for next week." The professor says as she disconnects the cable from her laptop. "I need you to study the discussed nursing theories. Memorize who the theorists are, and what the theories are about. I will call 10 random students next week for graded recitations, and the rest could volunteer to answer after the 10 selected students."

Silent and muffled groans are heard from several students, that includes Tiffany.

"On the second day? Really?" Tiffany mutters under her breath.

The lecturer stops what she's doing and turns her eye to all of the students, her gaze alternating from one student to another.

"Why? Is there a problem?" The professor's voice sounded icy and authoritative.

The classroom immediately went silent, most of the students avoiding the sharp gaze of the lecturer in front.

"What do you, guys, expect? You're already in college. Don't act like you're still in your junior high school." She adds while zipping close her laptop bag.

Your eyes remain on your desk, secretly stealing a glance from Atsumu in your peripherals. Ever since you came back from your lunch with Semi, he hasn't said a single word to you. He was already in his seat, in front of Tiffany, when you arrived earlier, but he didn't even look at you - he looked cold.

You huff quietly, Then don't? Not really a problem for me. You tell yourself that you're not bothered by him, but it annoys you that you know how much of a lie that is.

"I suggest, go to the library and read about the theories because I will include situational questions next week." The lecturer's voice interrupted your thoughts.

You let out a deep sigh, shifting your gaze forward as you try to ignore Atsumu who's sitting adjacent to you, fighting the urge to react to his presence.

All of a sudden, Tiffany elbows you, making you turn to her.

"What?"

"Let's meet with Tarou after this?" She asks in a quiet tone, pertaining to Rintarou.

"Where?"

"You wanna visit his university?" A thrilled smile plaster Tiffany's face.

"Are you insane? That's so far away."

"So what? We don't have a class tomorrow until 10 AM, so I think we're good." She shrugs her shoulder.

She wiggles her eyebrows at you, hinting her eagerness to convince you to come with her. Besides, she has already texted Rintarou while you were out with Semi, and he said it was fine.

"Come on, it's been 2 weeks since we saw him." Tiffany pouts, but you look away.

"I'll think about it," You sigh. You just didn't wanna go because you're not in the mood.

"Just say yes!" She whisper-yells, not trying to draw the talking lecturer in front. "I'll pay for your gas."

"Can we go tomorrow? I'm tired. I wanna sleep when I get home." You ask, not meeting her eyes.

Tiffany scrunches her nose before giving you a nasty look, "The hell did Semi do with you that you're already tired at this hour?"

A sharp glare is thrown at Tiffany upon her question, making her chuckle.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Hahaha! Just asking. Such a killjoy." She murmurs, you just roll your eyes at her before shifting your gaze at the front once again. "Anyway, Tarou said we can come over to his dorm."
