Chapter 011

After Organic chemistry class came two more classes before it was finally lunch time.

 "Hey, where do you think you are off to huh?" a group of six boys blocked Oscar's path, as he was walking through the hallway that led to the canteen.

 At the lead, was a smirking Bill.

 "What is the meaning of this?" Oscar frowned.

 Although the commotion wasn't that large it garnered the interest of some students who stopped and watched from the side lines.

 Bullying was a commmon thing in KYC. As such, nobody stepped out to oppose Bills injustice. They just stood there, gloating at Oscar's misfortune.

 "Are you retarded? the canteen isn't a place you can afford a meal. You should scram and start cleaning up" Bill said in a natural manner.

 That was when Oscar remembered that his clean up time was during lunch break.

 A confident smile tugged on his lips.

 "I quit the janitor job"

 "Huh?" Oscar's reply came unexpected to Bill and even the surrounding students.

 "You.. You quit? when?"

"Just now. Can you stop obstructing my path?" Oscar snapped unhappily, when he felt his stomach squirming faintly.

 Thanks to the system's level up, Oscar's words had a certain powerful aura in them that caused Bill to involuntarily take a step back.

 Oscar harrumphed, walking past him.

 Watching the departing figure of Oscar, Bill's head rang with a single question.

 Did Oscar just scare him off?!

.

.

 The canteen in KYC occupied its own block. It was furnished like a restaurant with tiled floors, ceiling fans and small tv sets.

 It was worthy of being dubbed the number one university where all West View elites attended.

 When Oscar orderdd a meal of salad and chicken wings with sauce, he left almost the whole canteen reeling in surprise, after all they all knew how poor and money conservative he was.

 "Maybe he's just buying food to console himself after the break up with Laura?" many had this thought.

 Oscar found an empty table and started eating.

After having a taste of Krusty Crab food, Oscar's meal recquirement rose by a notch.

 Somehow the canteen food he would salivate while sniffing it's scent in the past, tasted bland to him.

 "Hi!" Oscar was about to dip a chicken wing into the sauce when he saw Goldie holding her tray of lunch, standing besides him.

 "Hello" He waved at her stiffly, his heartbeat confusingly racing a bit.

 "Do you mind if i sit?" Goldie bit down on her lower lips, making her appear adorable.

 "Sure" Oscar patted the chair facing his own.

 Who would've expected that Goldie would take the seat besides his own.

 Oscar almost had a nose bleed, greedily inhaling Goldie's fragrant bodily scent.

 "For a moment, i thought you would not return back to campus after that incident" Goldie stared at Oscar with her clear hazel eyes.

 "Why should i? entering KYC is my biggest moment when lady luck smiled at me. Why should i squander it away?"

 Inwardly, Oscar cussed at his shamelessness.

"You really have a thick-skin" Goldie laughed softly.

 While the duo engaged in some idle chats, they were totally unaware of the shock they brought to the surrounding students.

 Goldie was known as KYC's number one beauty and Oscar was renowned as the number one loser. Seeing them sharing the same table together sparked some suspicions and controversies.

 Lunch break eventually ended. After bidding Oscar goodbye, Goldie hurried to her class.

 Oscar had just entered the basketball court since it was sports class, when somebody roughly shoved him against the wall.

 He had curly black hair, well defined features and a sparkling diamond necklace around his neck.

 Oscar immediately recongnized him as Russ.

 Russ was pretty popular in KYC. Not only was he the cream of the top in basket-ball, his elder brother Kid G was a pop sensation singer.

 Oscar was confused when he saw the aggressive look on Russ face. He didn't know what he had done to offend him.

"What is your relationship with Goldie?" he questioned icily.

 Oscar was a sharp person. Connecting the dots, he realized that Russ had a secret crush on Goldie.

 A sneaky smile played on his lips.

 "Nothing.."

 Oscar's first word made Russ calm down a bit, but more words followed after.

 "Just that she confessed her feelings to me and asked if i could be her boyfriend. Damn, can you believe that?"

 "And.. And what was your reply?" Russ tightened his grip on Oscar's collar.

 "I accepted. Hahaha"

 "Bastard!" Russ threw a punch at Oscar's face.

 Peng!

 Russ took a step back, massaging his knuckles as he stared at Oscar in trepidation.

 Just now, it felt like as if he punched a rigid concrete wall.

 "Oww" Oscar felt a sting in his nose, thanks to Russ punch.

 His eyes sparked with delight. Looks like all those system level ups were not for show.

 Some students at the basketball court were astonished at the strange scene that just played out: Russ just punched the useless trash Oscar.

Yet, he was the one who staggered back, while Oscar just stood where he was, like nothing had happened.

 The coach finally reacted when he saw that Russ wanted to attack again.

 He expertly threw a basket ball at Russ ankle, the force making him to trip over.

 "No fighting in the court. The penalty means expulsion from entering the court" the basketball coach sternly warned.

 Oscar had a good impression of him. At Least, he was pretty honest and impartial.

 "Oscar, are you here to clean the court? why don't i see any cleaning equipment with you?" the basketball coach asked.

 "Coach. I quit being the campus janitor. I want to join the basketball club" Oscar replied.

 "Pft!" some people who were quite familiar with Oscar's shamelessness couldn't suppress their laughter.

 "You want to join the basketball club? you? with those frail arms?" Russ roared with contemptuous laughter.

 "Really. Then try punching me. If i move an inch, i will call you grandpa. But if you move an inch.. Hehe" Oscar smirked.

"You.." Russ expression sank when he recalled the scene of him staggering back after punching Oscar.

 The latter was blatantly mocking him!

 "Oscar, this isn't a joking matter" the basketball coach was stern, studying Oscar's expression to see if he was just messing around.

 "I am serious coach" Oscar smiled wryly.

 Why does no one believe me?!

 "The basketball club is only open to the capable. You barely have any experience" a tall student who looked like a typical NBA player spoke out.

 His name was Jonas Godwin, KYC basketball club second best.

 "Try me"

 The basketball coach gave Oscar one last look before saying.

 "Jonas, test his skills. The time limit is seven"

 "Yes coach"

 The large court became empty, leaving Oscar and Jonas with enough room to play their game.

 "You go first, so it wouldn't seem like i'm going easy on you" Oscar tossed the basketball at Jonas, leaving the latter tongue tied.

 Hey! isn't that supposed to be my line in the script?!
