- THREE -

As I walked the halls and into my lecture class, I sat down in my regular seat as I turned on my laptop.

"Well, isn't it the smart ass." I look up to see Zach as he takes the seat beside me, "And, if it isn't the boy who doesn't know what E equals MC squared means and the first four numbers of pi."

"Oh yeah? Well, at least I had a date to prom."

"Who said I didn't?" I asked as he chuckles, "I bet you stayed at home reading about numbers of pi. Woopie." He says, mimicking how fun it was.

"Haha, funny. We reveal our answers. If you do know the first numbers of pi and if I went to prom... in three." I state as he nods, "One, two, three..."

"I did not have a date to prom."

"I do know the numbers of pi."

We said at the same time as my eyes widen, "Wait, no way."

"As for you, you had no date to prom?" He asked as I squint, "Say the numbers of pi and I will believe you."

"3.1415926535... and so on." He states as my jaw opens, "How did y—"

"You do know that I was top two in my other school?" He asked as I shook my head, "Sorry, but I am the first. And, I know I am going to be the top one here, too."

"Well, we'll see about that." Zach says, "You know, I wonder why people think I am so dumb. I mean, hey. I lack common sense sometimes. But, it doesn't mean I am super dumb."

"Right." I roll my eyes.

"Please be quiet, you intellectual inferior for I am going to hearken to thy pedagogue." I state as he looks at me and chuckles, "Hearken? Pedagogue? You do know you just said I am going to listen to my teacher in a more perceptive manner, which is dumb because you could just say it in simpler words. Doofus."

"I was testing you."

"You were trying to  make me look like a fool." He says.

"Same thing." I shrugged.

After hours of presenting, I fixed and grabbed all my things before the dimwit beside me could speak more.

"Andrea, wait—"

His hand takes ahold of my wrist as I look back, "What do you want? I have to go to my friends in a few minutes."

"I just... If ever you get to the top. Just remember that there are fallen kingdoms, and if you don't choose wisely, you can fall, too." He explained as I quirked a brow, "Why... are you telling me this? I'm not even top one, yet. You already backing down?"

"Maybe I will. But, the thing is, I know some things that you don't. And, I am keeping it very discreet and short that you're going to fall." He says as I nod, "What? Like, falling in the hall? What are you a future teller? Because I'm not into these games, Zach. You know that."

"Just... Just do the right thing and watch your back. You don't know what a person can do. Most importantly, to you." He shrugged as I chuckled, "Why me? Why am I chosen? Why will I become a victim? This is outra—"

"Shh." He covers my mouth, "You can never and will never speak about what I had just said to you in public. Luckily, you and I are the only ones who chose this course, but do not speak of anything else towards you friends. Your closest friends... could... be your worst nightmare."

"O....Okay." I state, almost freaking out as he nods, "See ya later, Andrea." He walks away with his bag slung over one shoulder as I huff.

Another day, another enemy.

I shouldn't tell my friends. Should I? I mean, Savvy and Gabriella seem like  the most trusting best friends ever.

But, at the same time, I just met them for around five months. Have they proven themselves yet?

I stopped infront of my friends' dorm as I huff. My book in my arms, "Boo!"

I look back and started smacking the person with a book, "Holy shit!" I shout as the boy covers himself with his arms as he chuckles, "Sorry, I'm sorry." Zach chuckled as I furrowed my brows.

"Dude! You can't just say someone's out to get me then scare the hell out of me! Are you crazy?" I groaned as he smiled, "I'm a prankster. You really thought someone was out to get you?" He asked as I nod, "Uh, yes! Zach, what the fuck."

"No one's out to get you. And, you said I am the gullible one." He chuckled as I nudge him, "I hate you."

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"You love me."

"Yes— Wait..." I push him as he laughed, "No! I hate you. Doofus, you broke up with me then say you love me?"

"And, you're gullible."

"Well, if it isn't the two used-to-be lovebirds." A voice says from the side as I look at the direction.

"Daniel? Jack? Corbyn? What're you guys doing here?"
