S E R I N E

Being as aggressive as I always am, "Angelo, I swear I will cut your balls off if you don't give me back my chips,"

I was willing to kill for chips.

Especially, Pringles.

They had become my latest addiction since the beginning of this year, which was literally a few days ago. "Yeah right," he smiles at me revealing his dimples- that just adds onto his beautiful face. "Are you-" I furrow my brows, clearing my throat to say this louder. "Are you testing me? Me? Serine Santana Williams?"

"Is there anybody else in the room?" I squint my eyes but refuse to be blew off by what he said. Playing his game, I look at him dead in the eyes. "Perhaps you're talking to a polar opposite of me?"

"I don't think I've met an opposite of you, because you're pretty much like every girl I know,"

"Ooh, I think he got you there, sweetie," I bite my tongue. "Nana," I almost glare at her. "You're supposed to be on my side,"

"I'm always on the winning side," she shrugs with an innocent smile- eating her popcorn like she was watching a battle. "Every girl you know?" I scoff. "As far as I know, no girl ever dared to bat an eyelash at you,"

"Interesting come back there Ms Williams," he smirks. "For one to know if these ladies ever batted an eyelash at me, you would know, now wouldn't ya,"

"Serine honey, I'm sorry but you're losing me," I finally glare at nana.

"I see my looks have caused one of your lashes to fall," he says coming closer. I pull my brows slightly together. "Thank you, for batting that eyelash for me, pretty lady," his soft voice having its own notorious tone. The way he whispered those two last words made my body shiver. His warm hand makes contact with my shoulder and for whatever reason, I melt.

His eyes find mine and I'm no longer seeing innocent intentions, it was different. A good different. His gaze linger on mine as he raises his thumb and it makes contact with my face. His eyes never leave mine as he removes something.

My lash.

"Make a wish," he whispers- his breathe fanning my face. My body instantly heats up as I realized the distance between us- we were together, yes but we were dangerously close right now. Way too close.

He winks at me and creates a bigger gap between us. I exhale once I realized I had been holding in a breathe.

"Serine, you lost," I look to see the short figure walking away. Shaking her head as she released a fake disappointed sigh.

What the hell am I going to do with you, Angelo.

"Soon I'll be announcing the assignment to each and every one of you," somebody whimpered. I almost snorted and I didn't have to hold it in as the whole class bursted out in their fits of laughter. We didn't even have to guess who that was, everybody knew William for his complaints and bubbly personality. "It's only the first semester,"

"Yes William, which means this is nothing compared to what's come next," Professor Angel says. "You know what? Ion care. I got it in me, I can do this," he bounces back. "It'll be group work," Mr Angel adds.

"Group wha' now?"

"And I'll be choosing your-" before Mr Angel could even finish his sentence. A "Oh hell nawh," came out of William. "Mr- Sir, I protest." He pursues his lips, hands on his hip. "It is what it is Williams,"

"Dang I need to change my name," he randomly blurts out before sitting down on his seat. "No offense Rinny," I chuckle. "None taken, Wil," I respond with the nickname he hated. "Your surnames perfect but my names horrible. God, what did I do to deserve such a name," he shakes his head, looking up.

We all knew Williams was never a fan of his name. I could second that because it didn't suit his personality. "Due to me not having much time right now, since it's going to be lunch break- after this break, I have some new students to introduce to you all."

I was about question him about all of us seeing him after lunch break but then I realized we're getting him after lunch break.

Sweet.

There's no sarcasm. Mr Angel was a chilled professor. The bell rang- indicating that we should all get off our asses and leave. I grab my bag and leave with my own in hand. "Did you hear?" I almost die.

"What the hell bitch!" I look at her with wide eyes, my heart beating out of my chest. "Do you want me to die or something?"

"Hell nah, don't you even joke about that," she says lowly. "Anyways, have you heard?"

"Clearly I have not," I roll my eyes as we walk to the cafeteria. It was different here, there were no tables that reminded me of a high school cafeteria. They served you anything that was on the menu- delicious snacks and meals- but I was evidently in the mood for snacks.

"Hey Hannah," we both smiled at the waitress. "Hey girls, welcome back," she grins, her blonde hair was in tied up into a pony tail as was every waitresses hair in here.

"Can I get my usual milkshake and vegetarian burger- without cheese this time?" Levine's orders, placing her hand on the counter.

"Without cheese it is,"

"Pinepapple juice today," I switch up my drinks everyday. "Some fries and-"

"Don't worry, I'll be generous with your spice," she completes my sentence. "Should we order for the guys?" Levine turns her head at me and I nod. "As long as I get a brown bag,"

She begins cutting down the order for her man- David. I don't know how she always knew how what he wanted every single day.

They have been dating for almost year now, stupid.

"Spaghetti for Angelo," I say after Levine broke down the order.

"I still don't how he gets full, just eating spaghetti," she shakes her head. "Guys are weird," is all I say before I hear a voice from behind. "Does that include me?" I break into a smile almost immediately at the sound of his voice. "Yes babe, it does," I wrap my arms around his neck- forgetting every body else. I plant a kiss on his lips. "I missed you beautiful," he whispers.

"You saw me this morning before I went to class," The smile still on my face. "That was so long ago," he exaggerates. "I couldn't wait to see you,"

"I missed you too and guess what I ordered for you today?"

"Surprise me honey,"

"Spaghetti," my smile widens once I see the smile on his face. "You're the best,"

"Oh I know," I roll my eyes like I already knew it. "Hey love birds," it takes almost a minute for us to turn around and look at the person speaking. "Foods ready,"

"Damn how long have we been talking?"

"Long enough," We all head to our usual spot outside and I allow myself to be sun kissed. Angelo places a kiss on my cheek as we're all seated.

I then felt a stare-

Ugh,

Paranoia.
