4 Join Our Club

After all of my classes have ended, I immediately packed all my things inside my bag to leave and go home.

I looked outside the hallway and everyone are looking on something or someone. They're all smiling and amazed of what they're seeing. Is there a show going on?

When I stood up on my chair and looked at those students outside, their happy and excited face turned into clueless one.

I followed their stares and suddenly, they're now looking at me. I hate this attention. I need to leave.

I was about to leave but my body froze after seeing her walking towards my direction.

I looked around me to check if she's walking to someone else but I'm the only one left inside. This sucks. My fate really hate me that much, huh?

"Hello, Raver! Are you going home no-"

"Get away from me." I said to Coulyne in a dead tone. Everyone are still staring at me after leaving the classroom. I walked fast to escape from there. It's suffocating.

"Hey, wait! Let's go home togethe-"

"Stop following me, will you?" I looked at her with a frowned look but she just smiled at it and it pissed me more. I'm not playing with her. Why is she smiling? I can't understand this girl.

"Wait! I knew it! You are just afraid to walk alone with a girl! Or maybe because you're shy to walk home with me?" She said, with a shocked look written on her face. She also stopped walking to look at me in a teasing way.

"There is no way I will be! Can't you just leave me alone?!" I said angrily after I stopped walking to face her. This is the first time I shouted on someone especially a girl because of anger.

"Wow! This is the first time I've heard you shout at someone! I thought you're always serious and gloomy like a dead person. I'm amazed!" She said, clapping with her lips in a form of O.

I swear, I hate this girl more than anyone. In fact, I can dance in front of all the students just to make her stop.

Just kidding. I would never do such dumb and stupid thing. Never in my entire life. I don't want to be famous just because I dance like a chicken.

I started walking again and ignored her. I'm sure that butler will fetch this annoying girl again. I can walk home again, freely.

My life would be in peace again, away from a demon. Actually, I'm lucky because the other devil is not here. If she's here, I'd better be dead.

"Hey! Wait for me! I just want to go home with you! I promise I'll behave!" I looked at her, and she's pouting at me like a baby. I looked away in an instant. She's not fair. Maybe she's a succubus?

I didn't respond, I just let her do what she wants. I would just tire myself talking to her. She's so stubborn. I took a deep breath because of that thought.

I'm still asking to myself the same questions that have been stuck in my mind in these past few days. Just like she said, she really behaved while we're walking.

"Are you always cold to all people around you?" Coulyne asked curiously. Her voice is always smooth. I'm sure it will be hard to tell if she's mad or just normal.

"I'm not cold. They just don't feel like talking to me. Well, I don't want to talk to them either. They always judge me so easily. They're bunch of idiots." I said, laughing a little because of the last thing I said.

"But I didn't judge you. You saved me. It made me happy. I thought that kind of scenario will only happen at novels and movies," she said while smiling. I can see the sincerity in her blue eyes. She's reading novels too?

"I didn't do it for you, I did it for myself. I just don't want my conscience to bother me if I'd let that drunk man harass you." I said in a monotonous voice. When I looked at her, she's still smiling.

"But still, I'm thankful, and glad at the same time. I thought you would never talk to me after what happened a long time ago." She seriously said. I can see the pain in her eyes. I looked at her confused.

"A long time ago? But we only met yesterday? What are you saying?" I asked, looking at her. She looks confused too.

"O-Oh, forget what I said! Maybe I'm just tired, I don't know what I'm saying anymore!" She then laughed because of it. I sighed heavily. How dumb can she be?

"Does your butler going to pick you up?" I asked her. But don't get me wrong, I just want to know if she's going to disappear already.

"Woah! You really cares for me, huh? Don't worry he'll be here soo—Oh, speak of the devil, there he is!" She shouted her butler's name. The limousene stopped in front of us.

"Milady, I have come here to pick you up." He said in a formal way. He then shifted his eyes on me. I think he's getting the wrong idea.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chepper." She said before handing her bag to her butler. The eyes of her butler are still staring at me. It's like he is reading my soul.

"Who is this mister, Milady? I assume he's the same person you were with yesterday." He was no longer able to restrain himself, so he asked. I don't know why but I'm sweating.

"Oh, him? He's my friend from my university. Why do you ask?" Coulyne asked to her butler before going inside the limousine. His butler smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing, Milady. Have a good night, Mister." He said with a smile before leaving driving away. I thought he's mad at me. I got scared for a moment.

When I got home, I immediately did what I have to do so that I could study longer. I finished doing everything at 7:00 P.M.

I took a bath, ate dinner, washed the dishes, took the garbage outside of my house. I'm glad my house is not that big, if it is, it would be hard cleaning everything. I'm a lazy person when it comes to cleaning.

"Let's go! Another all-nighter. You can do this, Raver! Let's start with Mathematics!" I told myself confidently. The exams are tomorrow. I can pass the exam!

I'm always like this every time we have exams. Even before I was in high school, I'm always conscious with my grades because I want to make myself proud. I want to make my dream come true so I need to study. This is my motivation every time.

"Ugh, I'm tired. What time is it? Oh, it's 12:00 A.M already? Maybe I can take a short brake." I stood up on my chair to take some bread and to make myself a hot chocolate.

When I get back, I decided to surf the internet first while I am eating. I noticed that I have already missed a lot of chapter updates.

I really need to finish everything for me to have a free time reading novels. I missed them.

While I was scrolling, I saw a news about Natividad University so I clicked it. It is an article about the changes that will be made inside the university.

It is written that the second year buildings will be renovated said by the owner of the university. Nothing more.

They're so famous that even these kind of things are in the news. I was about to scroll but I remembered something.

I remembered the conversation I had with Coulyne earlier in the morning at the university. It was when the bell rang before I could even talk to her.

"Maybe, I'll go tell Dad to change our building too, something just like this one."

I froze when I realized what she just said. My hands are shaking, I couldn't eat. I can't believe it so I immediately searched her name. My mind was blown away after seeing what the google showed me.

So I was right back then? That's why they have limousine. I thought her surname and the name of our university is just a coincidence.

Founder: Benedict Natividad

Wife: Chelsea Sofia Natividad

Children: Coulyne Faye Natividad and Lester Kazer Natividad

"She's the daughter of the founder of our university..." I whispered to myself. My eyes are just stuck on the sreen, on her name.

And because I was astounded, I couldn't study properly anymore. I have tried to focus again until I reached two in the morning, but I really couldn't. I also just put the bread back to the container because I couldn't eat it anymore.

"Why did I bumped into her? She's too far from my reach. Everything will get complicated if we get closer." I said to myself. I sighed heavily.

And because of stress I got, I accidentally fell asleep and woke up at 8:00 in the morning!

"This is bad! I'm late! I'm an hour late!" I took a bath in just 5 minutes and I put my uniform without ironing it. I just brought sandwich with me so I have something to eat while rushing to the school.

I'm doomed! This is the first time I got late ever since I got here in this university! Plus, the university's rules are very strict.

If you're late on the exam day, the test that you missed will never be given to you again unless, the professor of that subject gave you a permission. This is really bad! Really really bad!

"Ugh! This is freaking bad! I missed the first class! You're so stupid, Coulyne! Why did you think about that man all night?!" I heard a woman's voice behind me after I finally reached the university. I'm lucky my house is near. Coulyne? She's late too?

She's almost running and she didn't even looked at me. This is the first time this happened. Maybe she didn't noticed that she walked passed me.

Well, it doesn't matter, I need to move. The time is running. It's already 8:30 in the morning, so the second class has already started. Damn!

"G-Good morning, professor. I apologize for being late..." I gasped as I reached our classroom. Everyone stared at me instantly.

"Oh, Sarmiento. Please, take a seat. You should be thankful you made it on time. If you didn't, you will immediately fail my subject." Professor Jimmy, the Head of English Department, said to me, emphasizing the word fail.

I easily answered the test, and I'm pretty confident that I will get a high score. All the topics that I studied appeared on the test.

I only have one problem, the subject that I missed. I opened my bag to get the paper where my schedule today is written but it's not inside.

I probably forgot to take it because I was in a hurry! Damn it!

After the next class, it's lime for lunch. I looked around to see if there is a person inside this room that I can ask. They're all talking to their own group.

I looked at one of them, she did a disgusted face and looked away. Talking to them was not a good idea. I forgot they're all idiots who can't understand simple philosophical belief.

"Everybody, go back to your respective seats. I'll be distributing the test papers now." Professor Martin, our mathematics professor, ordered us as he entered our classroom.

After taking the test, I'm also pretty confident that I will get a high score. Although, some of the problems are difficult, I also studied how to solve those so I don't have anything to worry about.

I went to the cafeteria to buy some foods for my lunch. I forgot to prepare something because like what I said, I got late.

After buying the foods I want, I was about to go to that certain place but Coulyne suddenly showed up and talked to me.

"Raver! You need to come with me! Professor Smith wants to talk to you." She said. I looked at her with a blank face.

"Why do I need to follow you?" I said before walking away but she followed me.

"Because you must! Professor told me it's an important matter so you need to go there right now. Stop complaining!" Now, there are people looking at us. I sighed before I made a decision.

"Whatever." I said in a dull way before walking to the Science Department Office. She's walking beside me so students near us are staring.

"Oh, Sarmiento. Glad you came. How are the tests?" Professor Smith asked me as soon as I entered the office.

"I missed the first class. What do you want from me?" I asked in a monotonous voice. She smiled before taking a deep breath.

"Regarding that, it's the reason why I called you," she said, looking at me intently.

"I don't understand." I said. She gestured the chair and told me to sit. I refused, and she laughed.

"As cold as ever. Anyway, do you have any idea what subject you missed?" The other side of her lips rose up. It's like she's hiding something.

Wait. Don't tell me the subject that I missed was hers!

"Based on your reaction, I guess you figured it out already. That's right," she smiled after saying those words. I'm sure she's enjoying this!

"And you know that it depends on my decision whether you will get another chance to answer the exam or not," she explained. I clenched my jaw.

"What do you want me to do, then?" I asked calmly but I'm raging on the inside! This is ridiculous!

"It's simple. Join our club." She said with an evil smile on her face. This old woman! Coulyne is doing the same face. They're both demons!

Join their club?! No freaking way! How did this happened?! This is the worst case scenario I'd never expected! This must be a dream! Give me a break already!
