Chapter 9: Cleopatra

The hall way to their floor seems to be pretty crowded with students who just came back from the party, the light of the hallway was turned on, you can see many of the students gathering together in groups chatting, few of them words with their girlfriends while the other guys gathered around in groups. Damon was walking in front of me up the stairs with both of his hands inside his trouser pocket, you can tell that this guy is really muscular through the look of his back, he was still having his jacket hood over his head. we got passed they are floor and headed for mine.

I can tell that he is really a nice gentleman for escorting me to my floor, I just feel like putting my hand together with his so that the other girls can know that this is my guy, I am not willing to share with anyone, no I don't know if he is also thinking the same way but I think I am ready to take what belongs to me, still sounds funny though for a person who just got heartbroken from a guy some weeks ago. we got to my floor as both of us went side-by-side with each other through the hallway, many eyes we are on us.

It seems like we just caught the attention of girls around. I know that I am new to this hostel but I don't think that the attention was on me, they was probably looking at Damon, it looks sweet though to be the person beside him but oh yeah, I can tell that a huge competition is coming, Damon and I are not in anything, he is still just my friend but I don't think that is what this ladies here are thinking.

My Dad once told me something about humans, when we are still single, it seems like no one notices us, we will be looking for someone to come for us but immediately you fell in love with someone, people whom you never expected starts trying their best just to get your attention. we got to my door as I brought out my key from my bag and was about to open the door " hey sweet Guy, what's your name " I had a girl's voice behind me, looks like she was talking to Damon.

To say the truth, I am not jealous right now but I don't think that I feel comfortable seeing girls around him, though I know that it is something that must surely happen but I don't think that this girl is aware of what she is doing right now, she just came to flirt with a guy who she saw with a lady right now, if I am Damon, I don't think that I would give her any attention but that would be rude if he does that, oh my God, what am I even trying to say, am I trying to deceive myself or anyone around here, I don't like this. I opened my door and turn around, Damon seems like he got a frown on his face but didn't make it noticable.

I lived with my father for years, so I can tell when he is not comfortable. " please dear can you give us some time, I will definitely make him available for you, I just want to speak to him about something, please try to understand, I am not trying to be rude ", I took Damon by the arm as I dragged him inside my room, I know that he doesn't want to come inside my room but I think that he really understand why I just did that. I closed my door and turned around to him " easy man, I can tell when you are not feeling good ", I said still smiling at him.

" To tell you the truth, I am really grateful for what you just did for me right now, I really appreciate " he said as he turned around looking around my room as if he was searching for something or can I say that he was just exploring my room, I went and hang up my bag where I usually hung it, Damon seems to have seen something that caught his interest, " wait a minute, who is this" he asked me, his eyes was directed towards the picture I took with my Dad few years back. " it's me and my Dad ", I said smiling.

He turned around and looked at me with surprise written all over his face, he is really amazed right now I can tell, " both of you look alike right ". The picture was neat and clear, you can see my Dad's face clearly, you might think that was Damon on the picture if not for his awesome and well organized blonde hair, he has just removed the hood of his jacket which he used in covering up his head. I went and took up the picture as I brought it close to him to see clearly, " wow, you really look cute, I am crushing on your little self " he said jokingly, very funny though, I think I should join up in the joke.

" What of now, am I not looking cute, I am jealous of her right now, I wish I can go back to then so I could steal your attention ", I said jokingly, there is something about joke, 70% of it are always the truth, yet people decide not to admit it, " no, I think you right now is more beautiful and lovely " I know he is just carrying the joke further but I am blushing right now. we can still hear the noises outside from the student, they are still clustering along the hallway. seems like they are not dizzy yet, I believe that they are probably going to stay awake till 2 a.m. in the morning.

Oh my god I have to check what time it is right now, I brought out my wrist watch from my bag and check the time it was almost 1:30 a.m. in the morning, " ohh, I think I should be heading back right now it's late already, see you tomorrow Cleopatra " he said with that gorgeous smile on his face as he left my room. I had such a great night with him, if he had tried to give me a kiss before he left, I would have agreed but I don't think I have to rush things right now, let me just enjoy the flow of things for the time being.

The alarm buzzed beside me, I placed the alarm on top of my locker beside my bed, few of my stuffs are also left on top of the locker. I slept off late so I am still quite very dizzy, I reluctantly hit my palm on top of the alarm so that it will stop buzzing, I forced myself off my bed as I stood up stretching myself a bit before grabbing my toothbrush and headed to the bathroom. I feel like I'm carrying a heavy load on my shoulders that is drawing me back.

I can hardly move my feet as I kept pushing myself towards the bathroom, I opened the door to the bathroom seeing the ignorant girl that came to us last night standing there with two other girls, it looks like they were gossiping about something but that isn't why I came here, I don't know what she is talking about but I have the feeling that she is telling them about the guy she met yesterday night being Damon, I just smiled a bit as I passed them.

I wanted to use the bathroom at the extreme but she stopped me along the way, " hey bitch, " she moved closer to me, " let me tell you this as a warning, I don't want to ever see you near that sweet Guy again, you hear me or I am going to rip you apart " Oh my God, who does that this days, seems like I have got someone who is obsessed over a guy, my dad taught me how to tolerate ignorant people and I think this girl here is one of them.

I just waved my head and continued going my way, I think she was murmuring something with the girls right now, I don't know what she is planning right now, obsessed people always act violent whenever they want to get something they want and I am not going to fall victim over what I don't know. I turned around to see three of them coming closer to me, is this a joke or what, only the four of us are here, no other girl has come to take her bath, they might be planning to hurt me right now, I have to think fast.

" You see, let me make things a bit clear for your understanding, your sweet guy here is not my boyfriend Incase you are trying to snatch one from your fellow girl, he's just my friend you hear, cool your jets bitch ", I have never been the type to use hard words on someone, I was never trained that way but sometimes, you have to do so, so that your fellow girls won't be taking advantage of you, you have to show them that there is no path which they could use to get to you, " see you soon dear ", I winked at her and walked off as I entered the bathroom.
