When The Devil Noticed Her

Chapter 5

It’s been 3 weeks since I executed my plan on avoiding Mr. Devil and I think I really made it. My plan worked out well. First thing I did is to know what time he will come in the class and I discovered that he is 5 minutes early before the start of the class. So I made calculations on what time I must be in the classroom so that I will not end up sitting beside him. I bribe my classmates with assignments to let me sit into their seats and thank God one of my classmate spare my life and let me become his seatmate. I am now away from that bastard. Because of my plan, I forgot to found out who is that no. 9 jersey player. I didn’t even saw him after that incident. Poor me. Now I am walking to my room I must be there before he comes. I don’t want to see his face inside the classroom before me.

My seatmate and I were talking about the assignment the professor handed to us last meeting. I am done with it and I examined his assignment. Yes, my seatmate is a guy, he is Darwin, and he is simple and sweet. He smiles on me every time, he became my seatmate since I avoided Mr. Devil and that was 3 weeks ago. His assignment is a bit imbalance. The calculations were bit weird. I asked him how he calculated the dimension and I explained to him my own calculations. We are engrossed with our discussion when a loud noise occupied the room. It is like something was dropped on the floor, then all our eyes focused on an angry guy “Kai”, the Devil is doing his tantrums again. He lift the chair and dropped it on the floor.

What is the problem of this guy? He is very self-centered. He made his way to his chair, making us all dumbfounded. I really hate him. He has no manners and he thinks that everyone is afraid of him. Well, everyone is afraid of him, he is a member of an influential family in the country and even has a great share in this institution. He is also in number 1 spot in all freshmen architecture students. That is why no one stands to fight him. How did I know those information? Did I tell anyone before that my bff’s has their own way of stalking people? Yes, they stalked him, because Marcel has a huge crush with this bastard. If she only knew. I cannot let them know that the bastard bullied me, they will just exaggerate things. But I will never let that Devil touched my friend. Never. I swear.

After that scene, the professor entered the room and we started our class. We sketch building in a graph paper using our technical mechanical pencil. The professor said that the theme of our draft must be based on modern architecture and I have so much in mind, so I started sketching. It made me smile every time I draw a line in the paper. This is what I like, this is what I was born into. I handed my work to our professor when he said we have to submit our works. I am done with my work and I am confident with it. After that, he announced something that made me very excited.

“Okay, listen everyone.” He said while arranging the papers in his desk. “I will be choosing two from this section  who will participate in the international school competition on Modern Architecture Design that will be held soon, no accurate date for now” it made me shout in my head, I don’t want anyone to know that I am really interested in doing this kind of competition.

“These two people will be evaluated through their works since the first day of school”, he continued. “The faculty of Architecture, saw many talented freshmen students that is why for the first time, we included freshmen in the list, it was supposed to be 2nd year and 3rd year only. 4th  and 5th  year students will not be part of the competition because they will be very busy complying their reports, plans, lay-outs, and more and also they are doing their best to review for the board exam. Here in Xavier University, as early as 3rd year, we will be stricter and more focused on tending you students, we don’t want failure, it will taint the school reputation”. He said in a fierce voice. My excitement dropped, I don’t want to taint the reputation of the school, it made me scared but there is this something in my heart that really want to join. I think I don’t have the chance. Many people in this room is better than me. I don’t want to expect anything, it will just made me sad if I am not chosen. But I have to try my luck with this. There is no way I will skip this one of a lifetime opportunity.
