Cause this is South Africa [A Caspar Lee Fanfiction]

Chapter 26

Weeks past since Gray had confessed to K.C about everything. The semester had started and K.C was getting used to her new schedule. This unfortunately meant that there would be no more sleeping in or weekly invites from Caspar to hang out.

K.C had managed to make a few decent friends but she still stuck with Laura who was luckily in most of her classes.

She barely had time to talk to her friends about how school was for her and rarely had the chance to talk to them. Once in a while her dad would send her packages filled with treats or gifts. It made her homesick in a way.

Her routine consisted of waking up at 7 o clock and getting ready. Normally at that time Laura would come over and they would have breakfast together and discuss homework. Then they would leave for a 2 hour lecture that K.C would often fall asleep in, earning her a scolding from Laura after class.

This week Laura had gotten sick and missed class three times in a row. K.C would occasionally see Trent delivering her medicine or treats to make her feel better. He rarely talked to her and she felt that he was avoiding her lately.

K.C went to class the next day alone, dreading the coming lecture about nuclear fusion. She sat in her usual spot and rested her head on the table.

"Hey K.C whatcha doing?" Came a voice.

"Nothing much Caspar just Nuclear fusion again..." She waved off. Suddenly her eyes widened.

"Caspar!?" She hissed. "What are you doing?! You don't go here!"

Caspar did his usual goofy grin. "I wanted to see what you were up to. We haven't hung out in a while you know... " he pouted.

"No shit! I've been busy with University.." K.C scolded. "Leave or we're both gonna get on trouble."

"Aww why?" Caspar whined. "I'm bored and Gray went on a trip."

"A trip?" K.C questioned.

Caspar nodded. "Yah he usually leaves once a month for a little while. Something about graves or something..." He shrugged.

"Hmm..." K.C spaced out. "C'mon Caspar let's go before the professor-"

"Good morning class! Today we will be continuing yesterday's lecture on nuclear fusion. Miss Carlene please refrain from talking in my class." The man said as he eyed Caspar. "And I don't remember seeing you in my class Mr. ?"

"Covell." Caspar answered. "I'm taking notes for Laura who's sick." He smiled.

The old man cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses. "Yes yes of course. Moving back to the lecture..."

"What was that about?" K.C whispered. "You can't pretend your Trent!"

"What was I suppose to do? If I said my name people might recognize me." Caspar whispered back as the professor turned his back.

"My god your crazy." K.C face palmed. "I guess your stuck here."

The girl looked at Caspar to find the seat empty. She scanned the room as her eyes widened. Caspar was across the room as he was messing with the nuclear reactor machine. K.C panicked and looked around the room praying that no one was watching.

The boy was about to press a huge red button when K.C suddenly stood up and yelled, "NO!"

She tensed as the whole class looked at her. Ms. Carlene is there something wrong?" The old professor questioned, his bushy eyebrow raised.

K.C laughed awkwardly. "N-no I'm okay I was just daydreaming..."

"Please refrain to the outbursts Ms.Carlene.." The man scolded before he continued the lesson.

K.C glared at Caspar who was laughing in the back seat.

"You're so dead.." She mouthed to him.

After class the girl walked out of the class exhausted. "That was so bad.." She whined.

Caspar followed her while he was stretching out his arms. "Best nap I ever had though.."

"So let's go hang out now!" He cheered grabbing her hand. K.C pulled back.

"I still have like 5 more classes Caspar." She sighed.

Caspar whined. "Aww can't you just skip then for today...?"

K.C shook her head. "Nope, and since your here your coming too."

"Hell no that's boring..." Caspar pouted.

"C'mon the next class is art, it'll be fun." K.C encouraged as she put on a wide smile.

Caspar turned his head to hide the blush in his cheeks. "F-fine we can go.. But just art."

"Yay! Let's go we're gonna be late." K.C giggled as she grabbed the boy's hand and walked to the next room.

During art it was a free period to paint freely. K.C began painting whereas Caspar was messing with the paints.

"What should I draw?" K.C mumbled to herself.

Caspar was already painting and was getting paint all over his face and pretty much everywhere.

K.C smiled. "Having fun there?"

Caspar laughed. "Look I painted you and me !"

K.C looked and stared at the painting. It looked like it was painted by a 7 year old with all the stick figures and triangle clothes. K.C laughed. "You're a natural..."

"What's that suppose to mean?" He teased.

"Haha nothing it's.... Colorful..." She giggled.

"Hey you think you can do better?" He chuckled.

"Way better...." She challenged. K.C started painting and Caspar watched.

"I think it needs this." He explained before squirting green paint all over it.

"Hey!" K.C objected. She took some of the green paint and smeared it on his shirt.

"Hey that's my favorite shirt!" He laughed.

"You started it." K.C teased sticking her tongue at him.

Caspar laughed as he got red paint on K.C's arm and things followed suit. Before the hour the two had gotten paint on anything but the paper. They both were covered in a mixture of colors and were laughing. However the professor thought otherwise and they were sent to the dorms to wash up and stay there. Strangely enough K.C wasn't mad about getting in trouble and actually was relieved to the fact that she could be with Caspar for the rest of the day.

"That was so funny." K.C laughed as they walked back. Caspar nodded in agreement. As they walked in her dorm K.C began cleaning her painted face.

"You missed a spot." Caspar pointed out.

"Huh where?"

"Here." Caspar whispered as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What are you doing?" She laughed. "Go get cleaned up."

"Come help me.." He smiled as he hugged her tighter.

K.C pulled from his grip. "I can help your get the crap off your face." She smiled as she wiped the pant off his face with a wet towel.

Caspar laughed. "Thanks."

They two took turns taking showers as they were both clean and free of paint. "What do you wanna do?" K.C asked as she dried her hair.

"Come here." Caspar said as he patted the couch cushion next to him.

K.C walked over and sat next to him as he immediately rested his head on her lap. "W-what are you doing?" She stuttered as he nuzzled his head in her lap.

"Nothing, just taking a nap..." He muttered before dozing off. K.C smiled and stroked his hair. Life was changing for the better.
