The Perks of Having a Double Life

Chapter 2

Aiden

I hurried through the steps of hall B. People passed me by looking at "physical complexion" or handsomeness. I liked the feeling of being stared at. It made me feel loved and appreciated... Just kidding, it got me girls.

My stomach grumbled. I knew I had to have eaten the fries Jeff had bought, but I also had the urge to throw them to him. It was freaking hilarious.

Jeff is the weirdest dude I have met since I entered the university. and despite the fact that he is studying architecture, which is the gayest career ever, he makes me laugh the hardest, mostly because he is an idiot, and really stupid, and I still don't know how he manages to pass. He makes everything seem as if we were in high school all over again.
My stomach grumbled again and I lost track of my thoughts.

I got so lost in the feeling of my empty stomach that I didn't notice that the class had just started. The teacher stood in front of the panel and was mid sentence until she looked at me. I knew that look. Girls gave it to me every time. Well, now and then. It was kinda weird seeing it in an "authority". but I didn't complain. It gave me some perks.

"Excuse me Professor Frances. I didnt mean to interrupt your class with my tardiness, but I sincerely apologize. Could I please attend your class?" I said in the best manner possible, but I really didnt care if she threw me out, because I didn't have a hard time understanding this class.

"Well Mr. Harlow, I'm sure the class would be better off without you, but I am not the kind of person to restrict other people's education, so please do be seated." She said while arranging some things in her table.

As I walked by she looked at me. Her brown eyes were very aware of me, and I instantly knew she was being flirty with me.
She looked away and started giving her class by the time I found an empty chair.

When Ms. Frances was starting to pass on papers that contained everything we had to know for the exam, a girl entered the door.

She seemed small from the distance I was seeing her. Her brown hair was curly and it was graciously free in her back. she moved over to talk to the professor. Ms. Frances looked annoyed at first, but at the end of the conversation she seemed to have understood what the girl had said. She then dismissed her and gave her a paper too.

The girl wasn't even affected by the eyes that laid on her. She proceeded to look around for an empty space and she started walking firmly towards it. It was next to me.

When she was close enough, I could see her eyes, they were a deep brown. Not the kind you forget, but the kind you remember. I knew who she was, she is the best friend of my best friend's ex. If I am not clear enough, she was the best friend of Jeff's ex. I think her name is Clare or something like that. We crossed a few words now and then, but since they broke up, we mostly didn't talk.

She sat down next to me, and inmediately grabbed a notebook from her bag and the pen that laid on her ear and prepared to write. I then returned my concentration to my laptop, which I had bought with my latest and possibly hardest work.

Frances was already giving us a review of the semester for the exam, so instead of copying it down, I started playing Majong on my laptop. I knew the girl sitting next to me was watching me how I played because she inmediately stopped writing.
People must have noticed because Frances stopped writing on the board. She was staring directly at me.

"Harlow, do you care to tell us what time it is?" Frances said looking at me with her hands on her hips. she looked in shape.

"Why yes professor, it is-"

"It is time to start paying attention or losing my class." I knew I shouldn't talk back so I held my tongue and said something more... gentlemanly.

"Of course, then I suggest it is time to learn?" i said. a few guys laughed quietly.

She simply dismissed me and started talking about a chemistry process on the board.

I was taking copies again, just so I could pass another half hour in peace and without drawing much attention.

I felt a tap on my left arm. I looked away from my laptop and saw the girl of brown eyes looking at me.

"Dude, she's really into you", ahe said looking at me half amused, half mockingly. Her eyes were wide open, with her eyebrows up, and her smile set cockily.

"Ummm... Pardon me? What do you mean?" I said setting my body posture towards her hoping to maybe intimidate her to not bother me.

"Well... I was just saying that she really does have a thing for you because after what you just said, you deserved to get thrown out, or worse, expelled." she said, smiling at me like she was completely right.

Then she stopped looking at me and continued writing, but then i noticed part of her page was also full of doodles, they seemed realistic. It was a shoe on top of what I guessed was a broken... CD?

I was about to tell her something, when the bell rang, of course.
I started packing my things and when I finished, I looked that the girl was gone. I started my way back to my dorm.
