Chapter 3 - Easy Courting

(Diana’s POV)

All of us are busy setting up our own stalls and stations for the upcoming mini festival of the university. This was the one that they tackled on the meeting last time and this was announced to us yesterday by Ms. Andora. She suggested that we have to sell some foods and delicacies which we agreed to.

“Diana, can you get the cupcakes in our room? Thanks.” I nod like I really wanted to follow that. Our classroom is way too far from here where we decided to put up our station and here I am being ordered by Andrea. She keeps nagging well in fact she’s the one who doesn’t help. I haven’t remembered having a leader or a boss here.

“I’ll help you.” I shifted my gaze to Daniel. Looks like he’s just finished fixing the chairs outside for our customers. I smiled deep inside thinking that someone offered a help but that smiled turned into mimicking.

“No Daniel, you are assigned to wear our mascot to entertain the customers.” Andrea interrupted while looking at my other two classmates who are busy putting some designs on the background.

“But we have no...”

“You need to wear it now.” She cut Daniel’s sentence which made me more annoyed on her. Is she not being taken care in their house?

“Oh, is that so?” Daniel’s smile disappears as he heard that from Andrea. Obviously he wanted to come with me but there’s this uncared bitch who doesn’t know anything but to give us her freaking orders.

“No it’s okay. I can handle it.” Daniel goes back to the back of the stall to change his outfit. Phew! Looks like I need to go for a war of cupcakes now.

“Can I help?” I stopped from walking and turned back because of that voice. I know this voice. As I turned back, I am welcomed with Kin wearing his well fit uniform, fitted slacks, a tie and a well shined shoe.

But should I accept him? Can’t it be Jacob? So I’m really choosy right now huh? I’m not that even beautiful to reject his offer so I accepted it.

“Yes, of course.” I gave him a smile but he didn’t reply. Here’s the awkward atmosphere entering our conversation. I walk ahead of him and he was just following right behind me. I don’t want to look back because he might misunderstand that. Worse is he will think that I have some sort of feeling for him? But it’s not wrong anyway. He even asked me to marry him! Just kidding.

Our classroom is still quite far and I really can’t contain myself from speaking.

“So where did you graduate?” I mean what school?” I looked back and I was stunned when he’s already right beside me. I saw his eyes turned into dark black. I can also see his perfect pointed nose and his kissable lips. His voice is also that good that can even pass as a TV broadcaster. Yeah I admit that he’s handsome and hot but I’m not telling him that. I’m afraid that he’ll boast up about it.

He looked at me and I was caught off guard so I just acted normally as if it wasn’t awkward for me. “Draco Academy.” He simply answered then looked away. His attitude huh. He’s not even smiling or something. He looks depressed with that look. Or mysterious I guess.

I suddenly think about that school that he mentioned. Is that new here? I haven’t heard that before. Maybe a newly constructed one or a private school probably.

“So why did you transfer here? I’m not saying that I don’t want you here but I’m just curious if there some reasons behind it.” He looked at me again but this time, his expression is not quite good. Did I hit a wrong nerve?

“Why are you interested in my life?” he stopped from walking and intentionally faces me. His expression is still stolid which makes me nervous. I was right, he’s mad. “Nothing, just…ok don’t answer that.” What a brat! I was just asking! I immediately stepped back as he slowly come near me.

“You didn’t answer my question.” he’s really near me and I can even feel his breath. I somewhat felt something in my stomach like it was being shaken or tickling because of something.

“You know…I just wanted to…to be friends with y-you.” Our distance can be already measured through inches and I can now smell his minty breath. Looks like his breath is way too nice compared to mine. Why is that?

“I don’t want to be friends with you.” He uttered coldly then distances himself. Phew! What a relief! But what!? He didn’t want to be friends with me? Is he that popular that he’s protecting his reputation?

“Then don’t” I left him marching my feet in annoyance. Why am I annoyed by the way? I should be happy right now because he didn’t mean what happened in the cafeteria. But my heart says different.

“Cause I want you to be my girlfriend.” I stopped from walking fast as I heard what he said. What the fuck was that?

“Can I…be yours?” his tone changes from bossy to this careful tone like he was talking to a kid or a baby but still in his deep voice. This is the first time I see him not in furrowed brows. He looks nice when he’s calm.

But what am I going to say with that? He’ll be broken if I’ll reject him for sure. But it’s not also right to answer him like that. I’m not a choosy person but I’m still a woman and I’m like the most woman who casually hangout with different men per week.

“Uhmm…” fuck!

“Bes! You’re here!” I saw Auzia running towards our direction and that made Kin serious again. He’s back with his usual aura. But thanks to Auzia, I was saved from that.

“Oh you’re here too, Kin. Did I disturb you two?” Kin just smirked like he was really disturbed by Auzia. But me, I was thankful that she came. I glanced at Auzia who’s meaningfully smiling at me and Kin.

“Oh by the way, where are you going?” Auzia asked that made us two stared at each other. Oh right, we have something that we need to get. I forgot that huh.

“Auzia, help me here!” Calli shouted afar. Auzia ask for permission to leave but I’m sure she has a lot of questions to me later. They are assigned to bring some cups from the cafeteria. For the drinks of our station I guess.

Kin and I continued walking to the room and both of us we’re silent. I still don’t know how to answer him! He looks mad about Auzia’s interruption a while ago. That makes me more scared to answer because he might not like my answer.

We arrived at the classroom and we are welcomed with four wide boxes of cupcakes. So we’re going to carry all of these? Damn you Andrea! I really hope that you were just wiped in a tissue. You still need to pay for this. “So both of us needs to carry two boxes each.” Don’t be scared Diana. Pretend that you haven’t heard him asking about it.

He didn’t answer me but instead get two boxes of cupcakes. “Let’s go.” He uttered plainly and looks at me in a bored mood. It didn’t last long then he walks to the door. I was about carry the left boxes but I didn’t know that it was hard to hold both of it and it’s somewhat heavy. I lost my balance and the boxes slipped in my hands. I haven’t done anything but to close my eyes and wait for the floor to kiss my body. But why is it that I haven’t felt it. I tried to sense where I fall and it’s a…hands?

I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Kin holding my back. I was caged by his arms and I looked like I fell from the fifth floor of a building. I almost whipped by him but good thing I immediately pull of myself from getting startled.

“T-thanks.” I tried to avoid his stares and started picking up the boxes of cupcakes. But I noticed something about the cakes. It wasn’t messed up or something, even its icing. It looks like it didn’t fell.

Weird.

(Kin’s POV)

I felt my heart racing with my mixed emotions and thoughts. Shit! I’m drowned with her. I’m not this kind of man that could easily fall for some woman but I feel different with her. I don’t know what is it but I think this is the reason why she is destined to be my bride.

“T-thanks.” Pft! She’s cute when she stutters

“No I’ll carry the other one.” I know she can’t carry it. If she can really handle it, she would not fall like what happened a while ago. Good thing is that he didn’t see that I’ve used my powers to prevent the cupcakes from falling.

“Are you sure?” I was just maintaining my emotions from the time that we entered the room. I can feel my lust and desire towards her but I held it back. I don’t want to mess up his impression on me so I need to behave.

“Just in one condition.” I gave her a meaningful grin that made her shift her gaze to the cupcakes.

“W-what?”

“Let me date you?” I saw her shocked face that made me smile. I hope she knew that she’s beautiful when she is doing that.

“Ahh…uhm…o-okay.” My inside is bursting with different emotions. Finally, I have my bride with me.

(Dew’s POV)

I’m not in the mood to help my classmates because frankly speaking, I don’t consider them as one except for the four. These earthlings are very immature and narrow minded creature that makes them nonsense.

I used my powers to escape and went to a mango tree near the science building. I’m not lazy but it’s not really my forte’ to work with that kind of job. I leaned to the tree to relax myself and to read but I suddenly heard a voice beside me.

“You! You’re not helping your members there.” Shit I got myself caught. I was about to answer her but I suddenly felt a warm feeling coming from my birth tattoo. I-it’s glowing? S-she’s my bride!

“Nah, I’m just messing around. I’m not also in the mood to help my own group.” I found my bride. “Can I sit here?” she asked. I nodded at her like a new born pup. Thy am I acting like this? Is this the side effect of seeing our bride?

“So why are you here anyway? I know you’re from section A and this place is was too far from here.” She’s eating sandwich and I found it cute. I smiled deep inside. So this is the feeling that you are in love at first sight. Or it’s just we’re destined to be together.

“Do you want to eat?” she cut the sandwich in two.

“No it’s yours”

“You don’t want it? Okay! I’m still hungry anyway too.” What? She offered her food even she’s hungry? Weird.

“You shouldn’t offer something to someone when you know it’s important to you or you need it.” I uttered making her shift her gaze at me.

“Just nothing. It’s already natural for me.” I laugh a little bit. She sounds bossy and I like it.

“It’s just I’m not comfortable when someone help other people who doesn’t deserves it.” She stared at me like she didn’t want my answer. “But I’ll try to limit it.” She’s scary when she makes a cold aura. But I still find it somewhat cute.

“Then I think we’re settled here. Oh by the way, what’s your name?” she asked.

“Dew”

“Just Dew?” HAHA so she has humours.

“Dew Aedric Con Renoe. You’re just excited to know it.” I saw her playfully rolled her eyes. She nodded and rested her body on the tree.

“I’m Lucy, Lucy Karen Grandale.” She uttered then placed her arms behind her head. “But just call me Lucy because my second name is quite not nice.” Not nice? How is it ugly where in fact it’s quite unique? Oh…earthling things.

“So what section are you?” I’ll grab this chance. I don’t know if we can see each other again or not.

“I am from section B. My classroom is just adjacent to yours.” So it means that I can see her around again. Now that I found her, I won’t hesitate to mess up with anyone that messes with her.

Anyone.

(Diana’s POV)

After we brought the cupcakes in the stall, I immediately walk out there to hide myself from Kin. It’s too awkward for me. To think that I agreed from his request. It’s quite quick because I haven’t even decided it carefully.

“Hey, you’re soul is way too far from you. What happened? Don’t tell me there’s something happened between you and Kin?” she looks like a crazy woman sticking around my side.

“N-nothing. Stop being an ass, Auzia. It’s not funny anymore.” I answered monotonous. I admit that I have something with Kin but that’s not even a valid reason for me to just say yes to him. Yes, I was blushing and excited when he’s with me but maybe just a simple crush

“So denial.” She rolled her eyes on me before going back in selling our delicacies. I look at the students at the field busy in taking some selfies, playing and other stuffs with their groups. It’s is like a picnic theme. Each group has their own mat where the place their foods. Other students are just roaming around visiting other stalls. Good thing that ours is food and it’s easy to sell. Others are bringing their foods on the benches under the pine trees.

I glance back at Auzia as she sits beside me. “Bes, aren’t you bored with what you’re doing? You’re already reaching hundreds of flaglets. Whose idea is this by the way?” she’s complaining about me putting flaglets on the macaroons. Yeah, maybe I really reached hundreds right now.

“Actually it lessens my stress and boredom.” It’s been an hour since I’m doing this yet I didn’t feel sleepy at all.

“Okay fine. But later we will have a food trip and some other stuff.” She gave me her best smile but I know deep inside that she wanted something from me.

“Spill it out. Don’t fool me with foods.” But it’s quite a waste of opportunity. That’s already a food Diana! But I’m not a glutton anyway.

“Hehe…its uhm…He…”

“Who’s he?” I stop myself from putting flaglets and face her to make her more tensed.

“It’s Jacob. It’s…uhm. He wanted to go out with me.” WHAT! Why is this happening? Is this a coincidence?

“Huh? Are you sure? You agreed huh?” why is it that they ask us the same time? I mean Kin and Jacob.

“Yes, He’s even blushing and embarrasses asking about it. Is he really a shy type person?” I suddenly think about Kin. Kin’s not like that a while ago. I know that Jacob is a jolly guy but quite dumb.

“So if I were you. I’ll accept Kin right away so that we can have a double date some other time.” I slightly pulled her hair which made her scream. I didn’t even know how to start a conversation with him. But my curiosity about them is really something. They look different. It’s just I’m not that sure cause I have no proof but I can really sense something…or I am just tired?

I really hope that our date will be good and smooth. This fucking cupcake really messed me up. Tss! This is also Andrea’s fault. Wait for your karma HAHAHA joke.

(Someone’s POV)

"My lord, you called me.” I glanced back at Drake who’s catching up with his breathing.

“Yes, I want you to send some party to those lame descendants. Let them know that their end is already here, ready to play the game.” Drake nodded and left my palace.

Wait for me fake ones because the real descendant of god is coming.
