The Nine and a Love (ON HIATUS)

11.

Evelyn crossed her arms over her chest and regarded him for a moment longer. She thought inwardly trying to figure out why those eyes seemed familiar to her. And also she couldn't help but think about the foreign feelings she felt earlier because of him. And even right now, she could feel herself going uneasy inside her at the way he was staring down at her.

"If you want to kiss me, you can just say so." Nathan teased and smirked at him. Evelyn scoffed and rolled her eyes over before turning away from him.

"He is so full of himself," Evelyn muttered under her breath and grabbed her jacket for the bench. Then she made her way to the exit, ignoring his mere existence beside her.

"I hope you didn't forget about the Group Assessment," Nathan reminded her as they leisurely walked towards the hostel.

"I am well aware of that," Evelyn said lazily. "And because of it, I won't be able to spend the weekend with my Nana," She muttered bitterly under her gritted teeth.

"Get used to it, Grumpy," Nathan drawled amusedly before shoving both his hands under his jacket's side pockets. "The first year is one of the hectic years in Outrival," He snickered. 

"How do you know? You, yourself is in the first year or are you a repeater?" Evelyn mocked.

"Please, no," Nathan said under his laugh. 

"If I quite remember, the location for the survey has not been informed to me yet," Evelyn said lazily crossing her arms over her chest as they walked on.

"I posted the location in the group some minutes ago," Nathan informed amusedly to which Evelyn let out a huffed at the thought of her phone's condition. Her phone was dead out of battery some minutes ago.

"I'll check it out later," She rolled her eyes over before throwing a glare at Nathan, "Tell your boys to stop spamming in the group—it really pissed me off." She said under her gritted teeth but Nathan simply let out a chuckled and shrugged off.

"Well, the world doesn't run under you, Grumpy. I can't do that." Nathan said in a taunting manner and gave her a sarcastic smile. Evelyn stopped at her track and glared at him furiously. They were now outside the entrance of the Common building.

"The group chat has always been like that from before." He added in a shrugged.

"Yeah—sharing sexual videos and sexting, if you guys are as horny as fuck, why don't you just create another private group chat without me in it," Evelyn growled. Nathan scowled at her. He didn't like the way she thought about them.

"If you think we are as fuck as horny, you wouldn't be standing here right now." He seethed his words slowly and dangerously as he stepped closer to her. 

Evelyn stood on her ground and glared at him but soon defeated when he became unbelievably close to her. An involuntarily gasp escaped her lips when Nathan leaned down and kept an inch away between their lips. She wanted to push him away but her body was not cooperating with her, she couldn't move in her position, it's like someone has cast a frozen spell upon her.

"You don't know any of us so you better stop assuming things with your sensitive mind," Nathan hissed and quickly moved away from her. Evelyn let out a shaky breathed before glaring at his back.

Nathan got inside his room and banged the door behind right as William walked out from the bathroom, shirtless and damped hair. He creased his brows at Nathan before turning his handsome face into a wide amused grin.

"Did she defeat you in the basket?" He asked amusedly before going towards his bed. Nathan threw him a bitter glance before strolling towards his bed and diving in, face first.
