31 An unexpected grand entry to the hyenas' den

The next morning Aurora rushed to the school as it was almost the time for her morning study section. The school was so less crowded with a presence of a few students from various classes who attended to school for their morning lessons as it was too early for the rest of the students who are not related to morning study section to attend for the general classes in the school.

After a long time, the first classroom room of the corridor on the first floor where Aurora's class was situated was opened as it was only used for the morning study section of them.

Before entering to that classroom Aurora took a deep breath closing her eyes to gather some courage as she was worried to meet Lucas and Travis the first thing in the morning as there were no sounds of others in that classroom.

But the moment she entered Madison, Scarlet, Emily along with Abigail jumped up to her saying happily, "Surprise…"

"Thank god. You guys were here. I was worried that you are not there yet. By the way, where is those two???", said Aurora with a sigh of relief while peeking and searching for Lucas and Travis as they were nowhere to be seen.

"They arrived before us but have gone outside and will be back before the teacher come.", said Scarlet while placing Aurora's bag to her seat by pointing towards the bags of Lucas and Travis.

"Hmm. It's almost the time they must be coming.", said Emily while observing her wristwatch.

As predicted by Emily, those two demons arrived together and took the seats where their bags were placed after entering to the classroom but Aurora and the rest of them chose to ignore their presence completely while taking their respective seats as it was almost the time for the teacher to attend to their lessons.

"Good morning, everyone. Hope you all didn't have to wait too much for me.", said Mr Ray while entering the classroom.

"No, sir we thought that you would choose to break another record of your being late today.", said Emily while observing the time of his entering by taking a look at her wristwatch to find that Mr Ray was there on time.

"After all your exams are coming and also the morning section was not taking place and was on a pause for a long time. So I must be there on time. Did you miss me???.", said Mr Ray with an awkward smile to avoid the topic of his being late almost all the time.

"No, sir. But only in one day, I am missing my late morning sleep. See everyone is nodding.", said James with a funny smile where rest of others expect Aurora and Lucas were nodding their heads by agreeing with his words.

"Teasing your teacher is not good. I will show my wrath if you force me.", said Mr Ray while making faces where Carter added with a teasing smile, "We respect our dear teacher a lot and we only want you as our teacher."

"You brats are good at pulling my leg and this saga will continue forever. Let's forget about chatting and start the lesson.", said Mr Ray with a sigh as he knew very well about his students expect for Aurora none of his students whether male or female was reserved and calm quite but still they were not spoiled because they pulled pranks on him and teased him only because he was their senior who was in the last year of the school in the 12th grade and was about to part in the final exams when they all were first enrolled to the grade 7 as a whole new class. Then after completing his studies he joined to his old school as a trainy teacher where his those previous junior schoolmates found him as a good friend in the form of a teacher who was close with his students but he also had a furious side to deal with the spoiled ones beside his soft and sweet senpai side to get along with the good ones.

"May I come in, sir???", someone interrupted them when they were about to start the class.

Mr Ray took a look at the entrance door and said with a smile, "Oh, it's you. I headed ahead of you because it was supposed to take time for you to take the reserved seat for the morning lessons but seems like I was wrong about it because in your case, you are way a lot fast. Please, come in."

All of them tried their best to take a look at the person who reserved a new place for him in the morning section but they couldn't see the person as from their seats the entrance door was quite far and it was like next to impossible for them to take a proper look at the one who was standing outside the door.

But that voice triggered a familiarness in Aurora's heart with the picture of certain someone where her heart was restless to feel the familiar yet unfamiliar presence.

So, to clear her doubt she raised her head to take a look at the person who entered to the classroom where at first she got to witness the shocking and too surprised expressions of others to see the face of the person who took the new reservation.

Their shocked and surprised reactions were somewhat giving an assurity to Aurora's doubt but still to confirm her assumption and to clear her head she took a look at the person who just took an entry and was passing by their bench and then took his seat right next bench to them in the boys raw.

Aurora's heart skipped a beat where others' jaw dropped to see Nathan taking the entry to the morning section as a new reservation.

"What's going on???", asked Abigail by being clueless to see Nathan's entry out of the blue.

"Why is he here??? Look at the pissed off face of Lucas and Travis.", said Madison while taking a look at Lucas and Travis who were burning in irritation and anger to see Nathan yet trying best to be composed

"This guy is following and entering to the cave of hyenas intentionally.", said Scarlet with a sigh of amusement as if she somewhat could clearly see through him and his motives.

"He popped out here too. Scarlet, my poor life…", Aurora cried out resting her head on Scarlet's shoulder like a spoiled cat.

"Don't worry. It's just a morning lesson section.", said Scarlet while patting Aurora's head gently where she was enjoying it like a fluffy lazy cat.

"But I used to attend these extra classes to accompany you, guys and chill out a little but now I have to take this serious to compete with him. This is so unfair.", said Aurora in a complaining voice the moment Scarlet stopped patting her head like a love lone cat.

"Don't take much pressure. Just let the things go on the flow. Now focus on the lesson. Forget about his presence.", said Scarlet while putting her spoiled cat Aurora back to sit straight while pushing her textbook in front of her so that Aurora could gain some motivation.

"Hmm… Let's do it then.", said Aurora murmuring like a lazy cat by stretching herself slightly to get down to settle with those lessons.

As it was Nathan's first time being in the morning study section there was no word wars or competition between Lucas, Aurora and Nathan but it was true that there was always an unspoken and undeniable pressure in the air and the surrounding when Lucas and Nathan came across one another even for a second where there was a calm and quiet yet loveable soothing atmosphere when Nathan and Aurora were around one another.

Aurora, Scarlet, Emily, Abigail and Madison who suddenly got a hit by the memories from the day before about that post which was referring about Nathan began to observe the behaviours and the actions of everyone who presented in that morning study section including Nathan's ones too. But from everyone's way of acting it was clear to them that neither Nathan nor any other one had taken a look at that post. So, all of them rest assured in a relief where Lucas and Travis were burning continuously because of their drastic failure to pull down Nathan to the mud but they were not going to give up easily.

It was clearly visible from their faces that they were planning to come up with a drastic and more dirty method to hunt Nathan down where maybe somehow Aurora was their bait to get Nathan but what was really their plan none of them except for those two hyenas knew.

But no matter what Lucas and Travis were planning Nathan was with his full charge to counter-attack them while being the protective shield of Aurora by taking her under his wings and shadowing her with his warmth without even letting her realized it.

The battle between three parties began without even letting anyone notice while Lucas and Travis were planning their war tactics gradually and carefully, Nathan was taking his full preparation to face the attack of hyenas no matter how dreadful they were where Aurora and her friends were trying their best to avoid any direct contact with hyenas as much as they could by protecting themselves along with keeping Nathan safe from their dirty schemes but who would win the battle at the end that was something which only could be answered by time…
