Chapter 11: The chilling sensation

Her hair was looking gorgeous earlier and flowing with the wind, but now it was messy due to that hard fall, every strand of the hair was separated and looked like a witch's messy hair. Her face was still beautiful though and gave her volume suited to that look.

Her jeans though... ripped slightly on the end from the front as someone ripped them intentionally, good grief everything was alright, and it was not serious.

She couldn't walk properly due to those scratches on her knees, it was all red as if a monster had punished her for intertwining in his business. Despite all that...she was still looking fine and walking by the roadside, trying to hail a cab.

" If I go to class in this avatar, I am sure I will look more convincing...".

She was hurt and her priority should be going to the hospital, yet she was here...thinking about how convincing it will look if she is to meet the professor in this situation. She was sure that the professor would show some mercy but one side of her mind was also telling her that he is merciless and won't change his principle for the sake of only one student.

As she was walking, she felt a gush of wind in front of her, and before anything...a bicycle was stopped before her.

Her eyes from the ground to the person who was riding it and saw the familiar yet handsome.

" Junior...".

She called out as he was standing before her while flexing that ride. But then his eyes moved to her knees and then other parts where she was hurt.

Her mind froze for a moment but then she immediately realized that she needs to reach the university as there was so little time left.

She said nothing to him and immediately rushed to him, and without even asking him, she sat down behind the second person's seat.

Enzo was shocked for a moment before she didn't speak. " Can you please drop me at the university? it's an emergency ".

" Oh...sit sight then ".

He said and started driving. She sat tightly but when he started the bike, it jumped slightly...without even realizing she held his waist with her both hands...giving him another shock at that moment.

It was a smooth sailing road till now, she was surprised that when it became so bumpy that she could not leave her hands alone and cling on to him only to protect herself from falling from the a

running ride.

Enzo's nose was tingling for some time now. It only started some time ago. The sweet scent of Sofia's blood drew him close to her. He didn't know why his nose was tingling all this while and he only followed where the scent was leading him.

Until...he stopped his bike and saw her standing in front of him.

Now that she was sitting on the same bicycle and so close to him, he could not help but try to retrain himself from doing anything. He was drawn to her through that sweet blood scent.

His only purpose is to make her fall in love with him and then acquire what is needed to make him into a normal human being...mortality.

She was barely touching him...his body fabric but it was feeling like she was touching his soul. In an atmosphere like this, it was hard for him to not feel anything for her...his heart on the other hand was racing due to that slight touch.

As he was cycling, a question roam in his mind. " Senior! How did you get hurt? ", He asked.

He found her in that situation where she was vulnerable, but how did that happen?

" I had an accident on the way. Good thing that you came there on time. Or else...I can't even think about the consequences ", Unlike some other injured person, she took the whole matter laughingly and only laugh it off.

The way he was cycling and keeping his back straight, gave Sofia the sense of security that she almost wanted to lean on him and keep on going like that.

He was cycling fast on her request and asked her no more question. He looks dazzling and handsome from behind...

If it was to be someone else, he or she might have fallen for him. But it was different for Sofia...she only saw him as a kind kid who was helping her from escaping the great crisis.

After five minutes, they finally arrived at the university. Sofia jumped out immediately. " Thank you so much for today. I have to go now...see you around ".

She turned back and was about to rush back when she felt something around her waist.

A rough yet soft fabric got wrapped around her waist as the big hands keep making a knot. She turned around and saw Enzo tying his long jacket around her waist. She was puzzled for a moment and thinking...

" Your jean is slightly ripped. Keep the jacket around your waist, it will help hide the ripped marks ", Enzo explained as he finished tying the jacket.

She could not help but look at his handsome face which was looking slightly serious due to some unsaid reason.

He was wearing specs but still managed to look handsome and charming.

" Thank you...I will return this piece of clothing later on. Bye ".

Sofia excused herself from the sight and rushed to her class. Enzo stood there waiting for her to disappear.

" It was hard to control me around her. I should carry bandaids the next time I go anywhere ", Enzo thought recalling how her body was covered in bruises.

There were moments he would wonder why...why this woman out of everyone. There are billions of people on this planet, why must it be her with that pure blood flowing in her body?

He thought a lot until Sofia disappeared but no answer came to his mind. In the end, he changed his route and went in the opposite direction.

Sofia didn't fail to reach the class on time. The professor has yet to arrive in the classroom. But the moment Sofia entered the classroom, all the eyes in the classroom fell on her.

How could they not stare at her when she was in such a disheveled state? From her head to her feet, she was all in a weird state, of course, people would mind giving her some attention.

While she was being stared at by her classmates, a girl with a tomboyish look was waving at her and calling to the third row. Sofia did not give it a second thought and rushed to her...

It was Mary...Sofia's one and inky best friend who's always there in her hardest moments and wants the best for her.

Sofia smiled brightly and sat down beside Mary and only have her haooy expressions. Mary on the other hand was ridiculed to see her one and only Sofia in this bad state.

" Girl! I just left you be for one day and what happened to you? Why is your hair so mess and?...".

She hasn't even completed her sentence and saw the bruises on her arms and knees. She couldn't help but think about where this girl went to return to this state...

Without even giving a second thought, she took out bandaids from her bag and started patching on the wounds on her body.

Sofia was a little surprised but it disappeared in no time when she was how earnestly Mary was doing the job she is not supposed to.

You asked why Mary was carrying bandaids in her bag. Well... it's a long story. Mary is a black belt martial artist and a person with a short temper. Due to that, she may inevitably offend some big shots or those who are weak but act like tough nuts and go around bullying innocent people.

In a situation like this, she could not help but ends up challenging them. Normally, she gets injured in such fights and needs those small supplies to cure her wounds.

But even if she is like that, she is a kind-hearted person and always takes care of Sofia who is like a little saint in her life.

Sofia was really grateful to have a friend like Mary who always stays by her side. She was blessed by God to have made such a kind-hearted friend.

No matter how bossy or scary Mary might look, she was the kindest of everyone.

" Sofia! Seriously...how did this happen? Did you meet someone on your way here? Did they bully you? Don't worry...take me there and I will see how bossy they can be. I will make their smile disappear ".

She was very scary at this moment as if she would peel off the skin of those who might have hurt Sofia.

" I had an accident on my way here. But I am all fine...see...I am fine. Plus, knowing that I am your ally, who would dare to exploit me? ".
