DUMBFOUNDED

Lucas walks towards his dormitory being closely followed by Adrian.

The dormitory was also assigned according to your grades.

Students in the Elite class would get a spacious room and as long as they could maintain their results within the Ace class.

The room would be given to the student as per their entrance exam marks and the class they were assigned to and they could live in that room as long as they were able to maintain their grade and at least they could get demoted to a class lower but if they get demoted to 2 class directly then they would have to change their dorm room too.

For example, If Lucas gets demoted below ace class then he would have to leave the room and move to the room assigned for a diamond class or below.

Dorm room distribution was also the same as the canteen rule.

Elite students live on the topmost floor. The topmost floor has 15 big rooms having 70 square meters area with each having its own kitchen area with an open living area, a big bedroom with two beds on each corner, a pair of study tables, a pair of wardrobes and an attached bathroom with a bathtub for grown-up young teenage, a mirror and a cabinet to store towels.

The room was for two students to share and was big enough for them.

Ace students live on the 3rd floor with an 60 square metre per room which was comparably smaller than Elite class students but bigger than other lower classes.

Like that, the 2nd floor was used by diamond classes and platinum class with a 50 square metre area per room, it was only that diamond classes students get to choose the room first then only platinum class students gets to choose.

The first floor was distributed among gold and below classes with a 40 square metre area per room and they also gets to choose first according to their classes.

If we see the room located to the students were all first-class even for those who were listed last in the pyramid according to ordinary people but who study in this Academy.

The students were all from rich and prominent families, for them 4o square metre room was even less spacious than a bathroom they had in their home.

And this disparity between rooms for Elite to Bronze always either made students look forward and work hard to climb the ladder of success or weak-minded who would be satisfied living at the bottom.

You could say in this academy all matters were handled by your grades when you enter the academy and after that many credits and contributions were also included in it.

But what matters the most was that if you wanted to get opportunity and respect then you have to be in the topmost place.

For those who were at the bottom of ladder, they were meant to be stepped upon.

Sure in the Academy your background doesn't matter but the ones in the higher classes bully others even teachers will turn a blind eye up to a certain point.

Lucas was in the elite class and was the topper student so he was given the chance to choose the room for his roommate he had no idea, it was just that it was among the students of Elite class.

Lucas walk up to the room and was about to open it when he suddenly remember the person who was closely following him.

He turns around and sighs.

" How long are you gonna follow me around? you go to your own room and get to know your roommate, go" Lucas wave his hand in dismissal and turn around to unlock his door.

He didn't want to confront Adrian and just want to read his book, finish his assignments and get to know his roommate.

" Umm," Adrian nodded his head in agreement but he didn't budge from there.

Lucas was irritated but he just didn't want to care about this young man who was stubborn as a bull.

Lucas move to the side of the door and let the scanner scan his retina to open the door.

Every room has a retina scanner containing the retina information of the two owners of the room so the privacy of the people in the room could be maintained and other students wouldn't enter other's rooms without permission.

Lucas quickly enter the room and swiftly close and locked the room mercilessly on the face of Adrian.

Adrian just chuckle and continue to lean by the door.

Lucas places the book on the book shelf by the study table.

He was just placing the books when he heard the 'click' of the door.

He couldn't care less about his roommate but since they had to share the room for a minimum of a semester and a maximum of 3 years he had to socialize with this roommate of his whom he didn't know until today.

If only he knew how wrong he was.

He turn around to greet his roommate but his words were blocked in his mouth.

He was dumbfounded but more he was angry.

He thought he was made fun of by this guy who was standing in front of him with a grin.

Before Lucas could open his mouth and scold him, Adrian walked up to him and tightly hugged him.

Lucas was stunned for a sec but he soon regain his sanity.

He began to struggle and tried to free himself from this warm hug he so much wanted to return but he didn't.

" You.....You..... You let me go," Lucas stutter and struggle but he could liberate himself.

" What did this boy do to make himself an Ape," Lucas thought to himself.

Lucas continues to struggle only to make Adrian tighten his hold.

" I missed you too much," Adrian murmured in Lucas's ears making Lucas stunned.

" Don't you miss me too Brother Lucas, I missed you so much that it was hard for me to even continue to train but when I remember that I have you to protect, I worked hard, Plz, don't abandon me, Brother plz," Adrian quietly beg, his voice choked and Lucas could feel the dampness in his shoulder.

" I will behave and tell you everything you want to know as well all the things you don't want to, Plz, for this time forgive me, Plz, Brother Lucas, Plz," Adrian continue to beg as he holds Lucas tightly in his arm.

Lucas was feeling pain both in his body by the hold of the Ape as well as in his heart because of this Ape acting like a puppy who would die if he didn't forgive him.

Lucas sighs in helplessness, he was angry but thinking about Adrian situation and condition at that time he understood he was making a fuss and being stubborn.

He gently part Adrian's back and made him sit on the bed.

Lucas position was awkward as Adrian was still holding him tightly while sitting whereas he was bending himself to hug Adrian, with a slight pull he would be sitting in Adrian's lap.

Lucas tried to pry out of Adrian's hold only to make Adrian pull him close making him sit on Adrian's lap.

Lucas was embarrassed and was about to reprimand but his words were blocked by Adrian's.
