Acting

At Z State's First Class University...

...

Lisa, Theo, Ruby and Ralph discussed at the school's recreational area; a large part of the school grounds dedicated to leisure and relaxation. It consisted of a standard, well-equipped gymnasium, all sorts of courts, a massive arcade & gaming competition centre, a swimming area, top-notch restaurant area with high-quality food, gardens and lounges, etc.

...

At the practice courts, Lisa introduced Ruby to Theo and Ralph.

"Hey. So this is my best friend, Ruby. She's majoring in the same course as you, Ralph.", Lisa introduced.

"Hi.", Theo greeted dryly.

"Hi.", Ruby greeted back with a pretty smile.

Then Ralph approached Ruby in typical flirtatious bad boy style, with one hand in his pocket and running the other through his short blue hair.

"Well hi there, gorgeous. It's a pleasure to meet you.", he greeted Ruby, picking up her fingers with a flirty smile and a wink.

Ruby flipped her long, black hair and batted her eyelashes in slow motion.

"Well, hello there, handsome.", she cooed.

Suddenly, pink petals were flying all over the place!

Lisa's jaw dropped.

'Wait! What's happening now?...

Did I miss something?...

How can these two flirt so easily?...

And how on earth does she manage to move in slow motion in real-time!?', she marvelled at the two flirtatious beasts before her.

Theo threw an arm over her. He pulled her closer.

"Just let them be.", he said, charming her with his smile again.

************************

...

Meanwhile, in the background, James had been staring at Lisa the whole time with narrowed eyes.

He watched her smile at the new boy again. She looked so beautiful. So radiant.

He scowled with envy.

James' new girlfriend, rich and popular Amy noticed his displeasure. She tried to pacify him.

"Honey, forget her. You don't have to pay attention to nobodys. She's just an ugly skank who doesn't deserve you. You said so yourself remember?... You have me now, okay? She can never compare.", she said, hugging him for a second, and then getting back into her busy phone.

"Yeah.", he mumbled, still watching Lisa.

He watched her and Theo separate from Ruby and Ralph.

He watched them enter a snack bar.

'Look at her smiling, flirting around with that fake Hughes boy! It's only been 4 days since we broke up and she already looks like she's having the time of her life... She's suddenly forgotten about me.', he thought, offended.

His jealously multiplied.

He followed them into the snack bar.

*************************

...

Lisa and Theo sat side by side at the semi-crowded snack bar.

"I know it's almost time for you to go to work, but you can't leave until you try the food here. Their shawarma is the best I've ever tasted. You gotta try it.", Lisa urged Theo, excited to introduce the local favourite to the newcomer.

"Well, I usually eat at work, and I'm pretty picky with food, but I guess I could give it a try.", the overbearing king of entertainment who only ever tasted world-class cuisine agreed to eat cheap student food.

"Yayy!", Lisa clapped her fingers in celebration.

However, her celebration was soon cut short when James appeared at her table with a scowl on his face and an Amy in his arms.

"Lisa, Lisa, Lisa... Your cry for attention actually went viral! How entertaining...", he provoked, staring her down with spite.

"...I know you want to be me, but let's face it. You can't. Don't try to compete with me. You will never get Star Entertainment's attention, nor will you ever get mine.", he added, scornfully.

The model and beauty queen in his arms flipped her curly brown hair, popped her hips and sneered at Lisa with disdain.

"Haha... I see you're trying hard to make my James jealous, but Lisa, a word of advice. Running around with the new guy only makes you a sl*t.", she sneered.

...

Lisa completely ignored the two idiots before her. Rather than react, she turned to Theo and casually put her arms around him, linking them behind his neck.

She stared lovingly into his deep green eyes.

'Mmm... baby, did you hear something?', she cooed seductively.

Her eyelashes fluttered alluringly in her impromptu act.

Theo immediately got into character.

He gently pulled Lisa close until she was practically leaning against his body.

"No, darling. Just the incessant buzzing of insignificant flies.", he answered in a love-struck haze. His dreamy ocean eyes captured Lisa. His sexy voice made her tingle all over again.

As he spoke, he brushed a stray strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.

His other hand held her waist possessively.

Lisa felt hot. Their act was getting dangerous.

However, pleased with his response, she forged on with the act, covering up her cute blush with a giggle.

"Exactly.", she whispered with a tempting smile.

Her slender fingers gently caressed the grove of his neck.

She guided Theo's face to meet hers as if going for a kiss.

The tips of their noses touched in her love game. She was determined to follow this through to the end.

"...Hmm... How about we go somewhere... private, far away from irritating bugs?", she cooed again, teasing him further in her act.

"Of course. Anything for you darling.", he whispered, and then nibbled her earlobe in public!!
