The Nine and a Love (ON HIATUS)

33.

By the time Evelyn reached the meeting hall, the teachers were already walking out of the room. Caroline was the last one to walk out of the hall and soon noticed Evelyn standing in the hallway. Then she looked over her shoulder and saw the other students coming from behind. She crossed her arms over her chest and wore a fake stern expression as she approached them.

"I see you all are so eager to take classes," Caroline said sarcastically but in a heated tone, looking at the students who stopped few steps behind Evelyn.

Evelyn threw a lazy glance behind her before drifting back to her Aunt. "Are you okay?" She asked.

Caroline frowned slightly at her before realising what she was talking about. She sighed inwardly knowing that the words spread like wildfire in this college.

"I'm alright, Evelyn," Caroline answered with a small smile.

Evelyn regarded her silently and noticed the faint fingerprints over her Aunt's left cheek. She winced inwardly and let out a sigh. "No, you're not. Tell me who did-" She was cut off by a sudden voice echoing through the hallway. 

"What are you loads doing here?" Prof. Mithi asked as he trudged towards the students. On noticing him, all the students got alarmed and quickly walked away from the hallway except for Evelyn who was still glued in her position.

"Go to your class now. I'll talk with you later," Caroline told her softly to which Evelyn nodded at her and silently walked away. 

"You did a good job shutting that woman, as expected from our Director." Prof. Mithi said in an impressive tone and gave her a thumbs-up. "If only Robert could see how much of a gold digger his fiance is," He added under his sigh and shook his heart.

"I agree with you, Mithi. But after Fel's death, Robert's not been in his right mind." Caroline said quietly and they both grimaced in thought. They stood silently for a moment before Caroline spoke up. "How is Nathan doing lately?" She asked.

"As always, he is the top student," Mithi answered proudly. "Robert has always been the top student too." He added amusedly giving her a knowing look.

"Like father, like son," Caroline said under her chuckled. "I hope Evelyn defeat Nathan in the top and make my dream come true which I couldn't do during my college days." She drawled lazily and rolled her eyes over.

"I remember how you and Robert compete with each other to secure the top," Mithi reminisced and laughed heartily.

"But I never once defeat him," Caroline pouted and rolled her eyes over before slapping Prof. Mithi on his arm who couldn't stop laughing, reminiscing back. "Stop laughing and go for your class already," She said making a face at him before walking away with her arms crossed over her chest.

"But those were the good days," Prof. Mithi said under his quiet smile before walking through the hallway.

"Kiko!!" Blake barged inside his room followed by Carson. Kiko lazily regarded them before letting out a deep and defeated sigh. 

"Kiko's soul has been ripped by Evelyn," Pascal told them under his laugh.

"What did she do to you? And why aren't you breaking the news about today's incident on the page?" Blake asked.

"The reason why he is being quite on the page is because of Evelyn," Pascal informed amusedly.

"Did she threaten you or something? I expected that." Carson laughed earning a death glare from Kiko.

"Evelyn took my phone and deleted all the pictures of today's incident," Kiko pouted sadly making them stifled a laugh at him. "I regretted informing you all about this, especially Evelyn." He whined over.
