Fell University

chapter 4

Violet and Ella were hanging out , wondering around the campus .

''Did you get what Mr. Flinch taught today? According to rumors, this will be on the self assessment test and make a major part in it.'' Violet said.
'' a little bit but I'll have to work on it''

They went on discussing about their psychology class when Claire walked past them. The look she had when she noticed Ella wasn't pleasant and this doesn't go unnoticed by Violet but she chose to ignore it.
It was almost 6 pm and the days were speeding by.
It was already the last week of September.

They decided to get dinner and go back to their dorms . When they reached their room Violet decided that they should study for their up and coming test.

They both sat down on her bed with books in front of them . They read , made notes ,asked each other questions , linked the key points together and revised the topic .

After an hour and a half they decided to pack up.
It was nearly eight and the moon had taken over the sky.
Ella picked up her laptop and headphones and told Violet she was going on the roof . The students were not allowed to go outside the university after 8 pm but can roam around the campus till ten.

When she reached there , she found someone already there and when she saw who he was , she let out an irritated sigh.

In the month and a half she had been here , she was unfortunate enough to have Dane around at all times. He was both her friends' friend.
And every time she said something, which was rare , he would or rather his expressions would set her off guard.

Dane smirked , tilted his face upwards towards her.

'' Why am I not surprised to find you here. You appearing everywhere I am is not uncommon''

''I don't find you worthy enough to be stalked, Hamington.'' Ella scoffed.

''Your actions suggest otherwise, Sterling.''

''There is a phenomenon called coincidence. It means, by mere chance . Make it your word of the day''

Dane scowled and said, ''you know you are actually tolerable if you don't open you mouth. The other boys in class want something from you and once they hear you speak , they won't anymore. '' implying something completely inappropriate which set her off guard .

''And by the looks of it you would want to give them what they want.'' He continued staring at her shorts clad abdomen for a little longer than necessary.
''So you better keep that mouth shut''
Their argument had taken a complete U-turn .

Out of all the things he had to say this.

''You - '' Ella cut herself off by flinging her hand in the air with an attempt to slap him but was caught midair. Within seconds her hand was twisted behind her back at an uncomfortable angle. Her back was to him now. His hand wrapped around her wrist so tight it hurt. She sucked in breath as he twisted her wrist further on , almost doubling the pain.

With his mouth right beside her ear , he said'' Stay away from Raymond and Violet , don't drag them into your matters. This will be my first and last warning''

Ella snatched her hand back with a power she didn't knew she had. An ardent desire to rub her hand on her probably bruised wrist consumed her . However she did not want to show Dane that his reactions had affected her.

''You don't dictate either mine or Raymond's or Violet's actions . I will do what I want , hang out with whoever I want . '' Her tone was as cold as ice and words as sharp as a knife.

''And if you are so persistent, try. Try to make me do something that I don't want to . And let me tell you , you won't succeed. There are enough people who exist to prove that.'' Ella was ferocious now.

'' Well you are wrong right there . Everything in this place happens the way I want it to . You are in a competition where loss is inevitable.''

''Only time would tell , Hamington.''

Dane only smirked , knowing full well that it would set her off guard.

Ella with her belongings in her hand , strode to her dorm. She took deep breaths . When she finally calmed down she realized the extent of her words.

What have I done , my chance of getting through the uni without trouble is lost. Shit.
