CHAPTER 4

It was Glen's first day of college as he headed to his major there were people crowding at the entrance, as he approached the crowd, a student from no where collided with him and his books scattered across the floor, the student hurriedly picked up a few books handing it to him and hurried to to crowd. Glen picked up the remaining books himself.

Well at least he made an effort.

As Glen finished picking up his books, he swiftly glanced at the crowd when his eyes met a familiar face beaming through the crowd, his heart fluttered slightly. Henry?

He approached the crowd and it was Henry, his 5 years crush, he now attended the same college as him.

Glen found his heart fluttering over again.The lecturer soon arrived and everyone rushed inside the hall. Henry entered the same building with Glen. He blinked baffled that they ended up in the same building.

Henry takes the same art course with me?! I can't believe…my heart is racing so fast right now!

Everyone assembled their seat and Glen sat at the back row to avoid drawing attention to himself, he couldn't help but notice Henry's broad shoulders from where he was sitting.

After lectures, Henry had crowd of students flocking around him just like in high school. Glen did not want to keep staring at Henry or he might straight up look like a weirdo if someone unexpectedly caught him. He packed his books and headed over to charlotte's major to invite her for lunch, she soon finished what she was doing and they both went to the cafeteria to grab lunch.

As they both ate their lunch, Henry walked in with students bustling around him as usual. He has become more handsome and enchanting, manly and distinguished with his hair immaculately styled. He wore a long coat with a turtle neck beneath it, he truly looked like the son of a wealthy man.

Charlotte eyes widened as she realized it was Henry from their high school. "Isn't that your crush Henry from highschool?!" She yelled.

Glen got startled by Charlotte's loud question and answered hesitantly. "yes…"

She returned her gaze to Henry's direction mesmerized. "He looks more handsome now…"

Charlotte and Glen could not help themselves from stealing glances at Henry's direction as he soon sat down on a table opposite them with his friends—crossing his legs over the other—smiling magnificently as they chatted boisterously.

Glen wondered what sort of things people like him talked about as he snickerd brushing his hair backwards. Some seniors who sat behind Charlotte and Glen were denigrating Henry and they could hear it.

"What a rude brat, being so full of himself on his first day."

"I know right, he couldn't even greet me this morning when we ran into each other."

"If he's rich then so what?"

Glen and Charlotte did not mean to over hear them and pretended like their ears weren't there.

Charlotte lowered her head sneakily peeking behind her. "Wow…already having haters on his first day of school…let's pretend we didn't hear it."

After school, Glen and Charlotte wandered out of the building when they overheard some girls chitchatting about a welcome party for freshers around the campus while they headed to the location.

"Did you hear about the welcome party sponsored by that handsome fresher?"

"Yes! A lot of people are excited to go."

"Let's hurry so we can sit close to Him."

The chattered chummily and scampered to the location.

Charlotte suddenly pulled Glen to follow the crowd—but he resisted. "Charlotte,why are you.."

She cocked her brows. "Didn't you hear those girls just now?"

"I-I did." He replied awkwardly.

"Henry is going to be there."

"Yes…I know. You can go without me, you know I hate crowded places." He said scratching his temples awkwardly.

"I know! I'll be bored without you!" She continually insinuated and Glen could not decline any further.

— — —

They ended up going to the restaurant for the party and sat at a different table from the other students with just two of them like they had been ostracized.

"Glen…let's go over to them." She insinuated.

"I'm fine here, you can join them." Glen continued to sip his drink, but Charlotte was till persistent. "Come on!!"

"Charlotte, please…" He answered hesitantly siping his coffee awkwardly.

She stood up swiftly. "Alright then." And eagerly wandered to the other students to introduce herself.

Glen just sat there awkwardly watching her as she blended in with the crowds. He suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice interrupting his quietness.

"Hey!, why are you sitting on your own?"

Glen looked up and it was the student that bumped into him earlier on his way to his major, his hair was bleached red with a sharp jawline, dark brown eyes—he had piercings on his lips and on the edge of his brows. He was so loud and full of charisma and appeared to be quite tipsy.

"I'm fine…"

"No ways!, Come let me introduce you to the other freshmen and seniors!"

He pulled Glen by his forearm to the other group of students, griping his shoulder whilst Glen stood there nervously fidling his finger and kept glancing at Charlotte as she grinned at him mischievously.

"Let's introduce this fella here while we await Henry!"

"Wooooo!!" The crowd cheered.

"My name is victor, what is your name and your major?"

"G-Glen, L-let's all get along!"

"I'm Chloe!, a fresher in fine arts!

"I'm Gary, majoring in film."

"I'm Sarah your senior, let's get along."

There were numerous introductions that followed after wards.

A male senior suddenly stood up approaching Glen's direction, he looked decently handsome and relaxed, his hair was black and curly, his eyes were light brown he had a soft smile beaming through his exquisite face and he wore a knitted sweater.

He crossed his hand over Glen's shoulder pulling him slightly closer. "Welcome to the department Glen, I'm Williams, and your senior, let's get along." He said in a languid voice.

"S-Sure!"

Glen frantically glanced at senior William to look at his face properly. The senior chuckled slightly as Glen was acting all sneaky. "Glen has beautiful eyes."

Glen looked abashed and soon the other students began to shoved their face at his to get a better look at his eyes.

"Wow…it's true.."

"Oh my Gosh, his lashes are long."

"It's like emerald."

Glen grew uncomfortable from the compliments he was getting and his palm became sweatier than it was from embarrassment—sweat drops falling from his face.

Williams noticed that he may have put Glen in a tight spot by drawing too much attention to him. More female students were coming to peek at his eyes.

Williams abruptly shoved his hand over Glen's face pulling him more closer to him. "That's enough now, you guys are making Glen uncomfortable."

The other students stopped rushing over as William their senior had spoken and sulkily went back to their tables.

Whispering Williams said. "Sorry I made you uncomfortable."

There was a sudden low and deep voice from behind them interrupting their interaction. "Who has beautiful eyes?"

"It's Glen!!" The fresher, Chloe yelled abruptly.

Glen looked behind him; it was Henry. The crowd began to cheer and became more lively at his presence.

"Sorry I'm late Guys"

Indinstinc voices from every angle welcomed their celebrity. Henry did not need to introduce himself since he was already well known on his first day of college and he was the sponsor of the welcoming party. He suddenly leaned forward to Glen to have a better look at his eyes since everyone was talking about it.

Glen was startled and slightly moved away from Henry's face towering over him. He was so freaking tall and that was the first time Glen ever got to see him upclose and in person.

His dark brown eyes, his thick brows and pale skin, his stern expression, his immaculately styled hair, his strong cozy perfume were all over Glen's face scrutinizing his face.

Glen couldn't stop his heart from thumping loudly. His face flushed from embarrassment.

Henry pinched his chin. "It's true, it is pretty."

He retracted his gaze with Glen's eye still following him as he walked up to the group of students he was familiar with to sit down crossing his leg magestically.

My stupid heart!!

Glen couldn't avert his eyes from the man he had liked for years, the fragments of his perfume still lingered where stood.

William suddenly tapped his shoulder startling him out of his thoughts.

"Glen, let's sit down."

"O-Okay.."

The party went on with everyone being loud. Glen couldn't stop himself from glancing at Henry. He chugged down alcohol frustratingly to get him out of his thoughts.

Henry suddenly stood up and excused himself out of the party, one of the female senior sarah, soon followed after.

Why did they suddenly excuse themselves out, would it be another scene like last time?

Glen let his curiosity wander far and excused himself out when no one was watching.

He sneaked out to take a peek at what Henry was up to when his eyes caught Henry and the senior student kissing affectionately outside the restaurant shed in the dark night.

He really is at it again, isn't he scared of a scandal? He's the son a well known man…whatever this shouldn't be any of my concern…

He couldn't watch any further as it made his heart to feel heavy—he had to go back into the ongoing party.

Soon it was late and everyone began to exit the restaurant, Charlotte was quite tipsy and Glen had to support her inside a cab to get home.

The cab zoomed off as Glen watched in a daze. William's languid voice interrupted from behind him.

"Glen."

He slowly turned to his direction. "Senior, Williams…"

"Where are you headed?" He enquired.

Nervous Glen replied. "It's late…so I guess I will just call it a day today."

"Let me have your phone." Williams asked leaning forward to him.

"W-why would you-"

"Let's share contacts."

He interrupted Glen stretching his palm to him in a demanding gesture.

Glen was quite hesitant for Moment before he decided to give Williams his phone.

Williams dialed his number inside Glen's phone and called his phone.

"Here, I saved my contact information. I'll save yours too."

He returned Glen's phone to him with a smile on his face. "I'll add you to group chat too."

"O-okay."

"See you around."

Williams waved at Glen and strode off to the distance whilst He just stood and watch his back.

He's really nice…

Glen got to his apartment and fell on his bed like a log of wood when he abruptly remembered Henry kissing sarah. His hands slowly moved down to his trouser and he slid his hands inside, his breathing increased as he touched his lower part. Phil's face suddenly flashed in his thoughts pulling him out of the moment.

Why did I remember that bastard's face?…I guess I must be really drunk right now…

He sighed frustratingly and gazed at his ceiling.
