What is their relationship ?

The class ends and the students rush out of the class. Lauren, Noah, and Zoey were busy packing their bag and stuff. Zoey then nudges Lauren eyeing towards a certain direction. Lauren frowns looking at Zoey. As she kept gesturing Lauren, she looked left and right then around the room but she didn't get anything.

"What?"

She questions annoyed at Zoey. Noah looks up at them confused. Zoey hits her own forehead with her hand in disbelief.

"He is going away. " Zoey whispers gesturing towards the door. Lauren seems dazed. "Who?"

"What who? of course Ryan. "

Lauren widens her eyes and laughs awkwardly. She scans the class but only a few other students were there. Ryan did exit the class already. Lauren sighs focusing back on her work.

"Are you sure you are gonna talk to him?" Noah says grabbing the bag and throwing it across his back. Lauren nods her head now tucking the bag on her shoulder.

"But with this passion, I don't think you will be able to talk to him in this tear. " Zoey says fisting her palm with Noah as they both nod their heading agreement laughing at the frowning Lauren.

"No! just WAIT AND WATCH!!"

Lauren makes her way out of the class and scans the hallway. Zoey and Noah approach her with a smile on their face. Zoey giggles feeling the situation funny and unusual. Lauren turns around facing them.

"Ahh... I can't see him. I guess next time I see him."

Lauren says scratching the back of her head with a delusional expression covering her face. The other two nod their head smiling at her. Then they make their way to their next class. Once heading inside, the whole front and middle rows were full. Only a few seats at the back were left.

"Oh, no. How can we forget about this? I won't be able to make notes seating at the last row of the class." Noah says groaning, as he sulks up towards the upper row of the class. "Same with me. " Zoey says walking behind Noah. Lauren sighs following them from behind. They take a seat at the back, Lauren scans the class as now it was easy for her to do so; being at the back. But she couldn't find him anywhere among the mass of the students.

She places her hand on the desk and laid her head on top of her arms. She closed her eyes taking slow breaths. The murmur and gossips going on kept her aware of the absence of a professor. So she kept herself busy taking out her mobile plugging an earphone and listening to songs.

After a few songs, she felt a presence beside her. She ignored it but she felt something poking her side waist. She then slowly opened one of her eyes lifting her head but she had her eyes wide open because of the figure sitting beside her. There he was smirking at her.

"Y-You...?"

She stutters surprised seeing him approaching her all of a sudden. He was sitting on the seat beside her. She removes her earphone from her ear observing him. Noah and Zoey were aware of the new presence among them but they let the two talk. They both had wanted them to talk as they did ship them without Lauren's knowledge. Ryan shrugs off and flashes a smirk. "Yes me. Why do you have any problem?" He says being cocky and arrogant with a smirk never leaving from his face.

Lauren frowns getting annoyed by his attitude. "Get lost!!" She hisses with her gritted teeth. She looks away irritated but Ryan chuckle. Ryan was no type of person to approach someone on his own. He usually loathes people staying around him. No one dared to sit near him but today seeing him seating beside a girl made the other student question their relation. Many girls felt jealous as they couldn't be the person to be near him.

And having him as a strict and cold person, all wanted to know how she approached him. And they were not aware she neither wanted his presence around her. Soon the professor arrived and they focus on the class.

After what seemed like fifteen minutes, she felt paper balls being thrown at her from the side. She was annoyed but she thought ignoring him would be good. But the attacks of paper balls never stopped. She groans as her hands clenched in fists. She slowly turns her to the side with her eyes glaring at his. He smiles sheepishly mocking her with his hands shrugging off.

"I did not." He says whispering but Lauren sighs ignoring him.

Again, she felt being hit by a small paper ball. This time she snaps her head to the boy but her smiles gesturing her to open the paper. She tucks her tongue out ignoring him. She felt a ball hit her temples. She groans and bends down to pick up the ball that had just dropped down after landing on her temples. She retracts back to her seat and opens the paper ball. But she found it empty. She heaves an irritated sigh and looks at him with a glare.

"What is it? Why are you throwing papers and disturbing me?! "

She says as in a whisper-yell. He smirks at her as he bends down a little and speaks "It's fun." He retracts back leaving Lauren flustered. But she hides it with her annoyed expression. She felt Zoey nudging her from the side chuckling but she ignored her. Lauren sighs cursing under her breath.

"But why aren't you thanking me huh? I saved your filthy life." He says with his arrogant gesture. Lauren's eyebrow twitches as she hears him calling her life filthy. She snaps her head and says " If you did feel my life filthy you should have left me there. Why did you save me then?!" Lauren retorts back in rage.

While the students around them could hear them bicker but they couldn't understand anything. The professor too got distracted by their fight but he decided to ignore it because it was Ryan who was causing a disturbance and wouldn't want to provoke his anger.

"Then why were you clinging onto me? As if you didn't want to live right?" He retorts backs sarcastically rolling his eyes over her. She felt herself losing her patience as anger was taking over her. But his further words burst her from her calmness.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Were you enjoying perhaps?"

"WHAT THE HELL? Do you really think that? If I was able to walk on my feet and not be half-conscious then I would never have asked you to hold me and I didn't ask you to carry ME!!?"

She yells standing up from her seat and hands against Ryan's desk with her chest rising up and down with her sudden burst. Ryan seemed taken back but he stood up making Lauren stumble back.

" Do you think I would carry anyone? It was just the situation. You should be grateful I even touched you for that. You should be thankful." He says with a smirk curling upon his mind but Lauren was having too much of his nonsense.

"YOU!! How Dare you?! I will Ki-"

"STOP!!"

They suddenly snap their head at the owner of the voice who was their professor approaching them. Lauren gulps as she realized what had happened. She scans the room and she saw the whole class were looking at them. But she couldn't decipher the expression o their face. Yes some were shocked and some were surprised but that was not only the things their face showed. She gulps looking back at the professor who was eyeing them with anger and disappointment.

"What are you two doing? Is this how you attend the class, huh?" He says under his gritting teeth.

"Sorry, sir." She apologizes feeling guilty for disturbing the class.

"You two, DETENTION!!"

"B-But sir..." The professor turns around and walks down to the front. He stops in between and looks back by his shoulder.

"And please leave the class. I don't want a disturbance. " He says making Lauren shock but she clears her throat grabbing her things. She eyed Noah and Zoey who was eyeing her with worry and pity but she smiled slightly. She turns around on her feet but saw Ryan smirking at her. She raised her feet and stepped hard on his leg before rushing out of the class. The whole class was stunned by the unusual scene. Ryan curses under his breath and follows the girl from behind.

"What is going on between them?"

"Are they in a relationship?"

"How is he talking so casually to the newcomer?"

"Are they close?"

These were the gossips going on between the students and this was obviously going to turn into a most talked rumor soon enough.
