Professor Sebastian Jones - Is It Love? Fan-fiction by SW

Chapter 15 - Just an ordinary day

Sarah is already in the cafeteria waiting for me with her usual morning good mood that it's really creepy! After her warming good morning, she mocks me as she's surprised with my deep dark rings down my eyes.

Sarah: Oh, my God! You look horrible today!

I smirk and answer in the same playful tone.

Khawla: Thank you, Sarah. It's very kind of you.

Sarah: Seriously, you're looking like a zombie.

I should consider putting some makeup on in the mornings...

Khawla: Be careful, or I'll eat your brain!

We laugh like two school kids. Then, I sigh tiredly and add in a sad voice.

Khawla: I had nightmares almost all night...

Sarah: Prophetic dreams?

Khawla: No, I don't have this ability, and I can't foretell to myself either. I think it was because of the hectic day I had yesterday.

Sarah puts her hands on mine with a sad face, trying to comfort me because of my hard night.

Sarah: I understand, Khawla...

The sunshine comes back to Sarah's mood just after few seconds of sadness. I start to think she's bipolar, as she has an incredible ability to swing between moods in no time.

Sarah: What about a Spa day this weekend to relax? There's a nice Spa that just opened this month in the neighboring city, not far from here. It's about half an hour by car only.

A Spa! Great! Everything I need! Relaxing massage, Moroccan bath... But I don't think I can this weekend.

Khawla: I don't think I'll be free this weekend... With my sickness and Nicolae out of town for some days, I'm far behind in the schedule with the work. And I also have to go through the books Sebastian lent me to my Master.

Sarah: I see...

Sarah is a little embarrassed that she even blushes a little. I know she has feelings towards me, but I can only offer her my friendship in return because I'm not into women.

Sarah: You know I like you, don't you, Khawla?

Khawla: Yes. I also like you, Sarah. You're my best friend here.

"I would say the only."

Sarah: I don't like to see you like this, stressed and sad.

Khawla: I'll be fine. I only need some time to recover...

I smile mischievously and say in a playful tone of voice.

Khawla: But I think it's better to Mystery Spell University me not being in my best, or it'll get upside down!

Okay. I'm exaggerating... but just a little...

Sarah: I know. We already had a sample of what you can do!

We laugh heartily and drink our coffees. We continue talking about anything and everything till our time to go to our classes.

***

My first class isn't as exciting as Myths & Legends. Today is a day I don't have a course with my fierce amber eyes Professor. I don't know if I go to the Library in my second hour to study more the books he lent me or if I sneak into Sebastian's class of the second year.
