Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}

🖤 Chapter 31

Ody's green eyes locked onto Mano's, his face burning with heat.

"W-What? No. I-I don't like you. I-It's just..." He fluttered his eyelids awkwardly, avoiding his gaze, making Mano chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" He looked at him, and Mano did the same.

"Because you're cute when you're embarrassed"

"I-I'm not embarrassed" He quickly turned forward, his face bright red, while Mano smirked sideways, watching him.

"Whatever you say" he turned his gaze toward the nighttime view.

When they decided to leave, Mano gave him a ride home on his motorcycle before heading back to his own place.

The next morning, they both woke up early to go to their university for an exam—it was their second-to-last subject.

Ody met up with Steve and Chris before entering the classroom. When he spotted Kash sitting at one of the back desks, a wave of embarrassment hit him, remembering what had happened two days ago.

The way he touched him, the kisses on his lips, on his neck, on his chest...

He shook off the memories and sat in one of the front seats while Brandon and Pablo caused a ruckus in the room.

Once the exam was over, Ody handed in his paper to the professor, ready to leave.

"Stevens, come to my office for a moment" the professor said, making him stop in his tracks.

"For what, sir?" he asked curiously.

"Didn't you mention that there was a mistake with your grade in the system? I have your exam paper there"

"Oh, right, of course"

"Head to my office, I'll be there in two minutes" the professor added as the last students handed in their papers.

Ody walked out of the classroom with his friends.

"Should we grab some coffees and wait for you outside the building?" Steve suggested.

"Yeah, get me one too"

"Got it" The two of them left while Ody made his way down the corridor, stopping outside the professor's office door, which was locked.

Just then, Kash walked out of the classroom and froze when he spotted Ody at the end of the hall.

"Oh, look who we have here" Pablo muttered playfully.

"It's been a while since we messed with him. I'm so in the mood right now" Brandon added, and at that moment, Ody turned his head and saw the three of them staring at him.

Kash gave him a desperate look, silently urging him to go inside the office—immediately.

Ody understood both Kash's signal and that the other two were about to start harassing him. He stood frozen in place, unsure how to react.

Brandon and Pablo began approaching him, and Kash mouthed the word "Go!"

Ody took two steps back as the three of them closed in.

"Long time no see, Stevens" Pablo said with a threatening tone.

"How's life treating you?" Brandon smirked mockingly as they stopped in front of him.

"Odysseus, come on in, I'm done" the professor's voice called out from behind them, and they all turned to look.

"Do you guys need something?" The professor's eyes shifted to the three students.
