"Kairan: Surviving in the Modern World" CHAPTER 20

Silvestre's Point of View

We decided to go home after talking and making a contract with Draven that Roy left us early too, also I was wondering why Ash Hale acted like that, as far as I know he didn't give the previous Kairen a treatment like that but now he is getting suspicious. I really wanted to stay longer with Kairen but I can't do that—well I can see her from far and for now I will be content with that.

"Silver?" Someone called my name and that was the girl yesterday claiming that she's Kairen.

"Hmm~"

"Do you have some free time after class?" She asks and clings to my arm. I don't know if this is natural but she's pushing her chests into me. I can feel it on my arm and waist. 

"I don't have free time especially for you" I said and tried to remove my arms but she hugged it more tightly, what the hell is this?!

"I know I did mistake a yesterday, the truth is I came from Aristocratic family I know you know about the Army of Scott, I am their first dau—" I didn't let her finish when I saw Kairen walking with two other guys while the other students were staring at her as if she was a queen maybe it is because of her beauty. I can't deny it, I didn't even noticed that I was running to catch up to them and left that girl with a distorted reaction, well I don't care.

I approached Ash and held him on his shoulders tightly.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, staring at him with a dark expression.

"Nothing, it's none of your business" He said and removed my hand on his shoulders.

"I did something wrong before and if I were you I won't do anything that makes Kairen upset, in any possible way" He said, emphasizing his last words and left me here standing, staring at his back that slowly walked away from me. What does he mean in making Kairen upset? As if that's gonna happen. 

I watch them getting into their building when this lady from the Scott family starts to cling on my arm again.

"Second day of the school year is not yet busy so I was thinking if we can grab some coffee after class" She said pointing her index fingers together then looked at me and hugged my arm and again she's pushing her chest into me.

I stare at her for a while, yes she's beautiful, sexy, and cute. Also flirty but not my type.

"Then let's meet later after class at the gate" I said and pulled my arm, walked away leaving her like that again. 

I was walking when Draven hit my nape.

"Dude what's with the deep thoughts?" He asked me and looked at me as if I did something weird, I answered him nothing and it's none of his business but he's still staring at me suspiciously. I got irritated and acted like I'm going to punch him.

"Don't be too hot tempered! By the way I saw the girl from yesterday blushing, cupping her face and smiling. Men~ she's kinda cute no?" He said and looked where Scott was standing while he's talking.

"She asked me if we can grab some coffee after class" I said casually.

"And you said yes?" – Draven

"Yeah"

"That's what I thoug—wait what you said yes?" He said in a loud tone of voice and stopped walking.

"What about Kairen?" – Draven

"We don't have any plan today so I'm free"

"But that's not right you're cheating on her!" He yelled at me.

"Cheating? As if we're in that kind of relationship" I said and left him there in shock. I wonder why I'm not in the mood. I don't want to mess with him today, for some reason I feel irritated.

------ 

As of today three professor attend class out of five, in Class of Letters they teach us about managing money, basic manners, basic nursing, self-defense and suitable killing technique, unlike to Class of Ancient Letters they have their freedom to choose what path they want weather they want to be a Lawyer, Police, Politician, Doctor and many more. In Class of Letters we study the most important things that are necessary to help our future leader like fighting, accounting, household management and many more so that way we can prove ourselves to them.

I am a former demi god who just started living in the human world for almost four years. I still need to learn a lot of things, especially human emotions. 

I decided to leave the room and waited for Scott and after a few minutes someone jumped on my back when I looked at who it was Scott, smiling at me sweetly I also smiled at her and put her down slowly and carefully.

"Where do you want to go Lady Scott?"

I asked her and grabbed the bag that she's carrying. Humans, like many men in the human world, do this to the girls who are carrying bags, men do this to women to show their manliness in case it was something heavy.

"Oh please~ cut the formality, just call me Thania"

She said and smiled at me after that we decided to stop at the nearest coffee shop.

Kairen's Point of View

"Queen? Where are we going?" 

One of my escorts asked me, today is so boring. Mr. Art is the only one who attends today's class and Ash is behaving strangely. He keeps following us but never tries to approach me, perhaps he still feels upset about what I said yesterday. Well I don't care.

"I don't know"

I said standing near the main gate waiting for Silvestre while Ash stood not too far still watching me. While waiting I saw the girl from yesterday but she seemed not interested in me so I didn't bother to take action and look inside again.

"Cut the formality, just call me Thania"

I looked at her because I'm curious but then I also saw Silvestre smiling at her like that. I never saw him smile like that at me, he also carried that girl's bag and left without noticing me. What was that? Did I assume that we can meet every day to have some coffee and go out? And why feel so upset about something like that? I stood there staring at them when I felt someone's hand on my shoulders. Ash finally approached me and asked me if I wanted to go home in a low tone of voice.

"No, do you want to go somewhere?" I asked him but before he could answer me I grabbed his hands and walked in a different direction.

"Where are we going?" He asked if I answered him anywhere. After some time we arrived at the park. It was a public park near University. We sat on the grass and looked at other people.

"Wait here I'll be back" He said and left me sitting and staring at some child playing. Not long after, Ash came back with some food and a blanket in his hand. He told me to stand, he put the blanket on, then we sat again and he put the food in front of us.

"What is this?" I asked

"The what? This? For some people they consider this as a date, but for us let's consider this as pass time" he said and started eating the foods that he bought.

He said and handed over some food to me. This place is nice and cozy even though a lot of people gather here. The beauty of this place is still the same.

"Do you like this place?" I looked at him and he looked so serious while waiting for my answer.

"Yes I did" After a long silence I finally speck

"I'm sorry for my attitude yesterday" He just smiled at me and said that I don't need to feel guilty after saying that because that's the truth.

"But I also wanted you to know that what I'm showing to you now is only my pure intentions I don't have any ulterior motives I just wanted to be at least get close to you"

He said while looking down on his food while playing with it. I know that the real Kairen is the one at fault, I felt guilty because I know how crazy Kairen is and I know that's the reason why Ash acted like that to me when we met for the first time.

Kairen, who wants attention from others, intends to do crazy and creepy things even though it was scary or creepy, a life threatening pranks and treat people like animals or maybe worse than the insects. She used to give him dead cats and puppies. Ash who got disgusted and annoyed at the same time makes an action to make her quiet but instead of that she does a lot of things and even forces her parents to get engaged with Ash and continue harassing him for attention because she thinks that Ash cared about her when Ash actually didn't. 

Just seeing that in my memories it also scares me. So without a doubt I know that Ash is also scared.

I looked at him while we're watching the beautiful sunset. I also stare at the mesmerizing view.

"This is beautiful, isn't it?" He asked.

"Yes, and I don't mind going on to this place again with you" I said without looking at him.

-------- 

"Let's go, I'll take you home" He said and helped me to stand up.

"Thanks" I said and let go of his hand immediately.

"Let's go" I followed him from behind until we reached the parking lot behind the University. He opened the door for me and also buckled the seatbelt for me. I don't even know that he got a car.

"I was happy I could spend time with you" He said.

"I'm t--" I was planning to say something when he cut me off.

"We're here" he opened the door for me but he immediately got inside. I tried to knock on the windows but he just looked at me, smiled and left without saying anything. I wasn't even able to say thank you to him.
