ᡣ𐭩₊˚.⋆⁺₊

you were on your way out to your class right now, but you kept getting distracted by your phone. you were in a constant pull between wanting to text sylus and just waiting for him to text you.

"what's got you so worked up?" tara asked, glancing up from her own tasks. she was currently getting ready with you, though she couldn't help but notice your frantic movements. "take a breath, y/n," she told you, placing a small hand on your shoulder.

you paused, obliging and taking a quick breath. "sorry, i've just had a lot on my mind," you replied, making sure you had your computer and textbooks in your bag.

tara nodded before pulling her hand away, returning to her own things. "did something happen yesterday?"

the image of sylus flashed in your mind at her question, his harsh stare and indifferent smile making your chest tighten. something definitely happened, but you weren't sure it was real.

"uhm.. yeah," you answered, patting yourself down and making a mental check list of all the things you had. "but i'll tell you after i get back from my classes."

tara nodded again. "good luck today!"

"thanks," you gave her a quick smile before slipping out the door. though even on your way to class, you were constantly checking your, the questions in your head begging to he answered.

when you found your first class, you sat at the back of the classroom like you always did. in a few minutes, your professor was already droning on about something, though the details went over your head. you couldn't focus for the life of you; you'd only met sylus yesterday, yet he was already
plaguing your mind.

with a heavy sigh you grabbed your phone, your fingers flying across the keyboard as you texted sylus.

sylus, however, hadn't responded to any of your texts until an hour later which made your head spin with unease.

sylus

i still don't know what's happening

you didn't explain yesterday

-

well, aren't you eager?

please tell me what i signed up for

all in good time

besides, that feels like something we
should discuss in person

please answer me, sylus

alright, then.

i'm giving you a chance to back out now
because i feel i might've been too vague
yesterday. you will be required to accompany
me to events and pose as my partner and in
return, you'll get money.

how's that?

seems easy enough...

which is what makes me suspicious

plus, i still don't know a lot of details

like what about rules? boundaries?
