Chapter 3 Rejection

Time flies so fast like a whirlwind. I spent my time reliving the same day over and over again. The girls never attempted to open the topic of switching courses or transferring to another school but they now barely attend classes. They show up just one or two days a week and I don't have any idea why, or what they are up to.

They only visited me at night in my apartment. Talk, and then sleepover. I don't even catch up with them every morning as they always left early. I narrowed my eyes and placed the thick book on my desk just to disturbed my other classmates who were planning to sleep.

As usual, our professor never came in again to attend to us. I think we are all just wasting our money on this kind of education. Well, at least they are paid even without doing anything aside from giving us surprise quizzes and questions in exams we don't know where they got from.

I slumped my head down on the table, planning to take a nap when I felt a hand poking my waist. My forehead creased as my eyes followed the hand then, it went through the owner, Evan Walker.

I squint my eyes, waiting for him to talk.

"Gia..." his voice was low and deep.

Shaking my head, I put my head down above my arms resting on my table. After two weeks of being classmates, Evan Walker already knows my name and he's been bugging me since then.

"Wanna go out with me?" he asked for the nth time.

I rolled my eyes. "No," I answered.

"Why not?" I felt his hand on my hair but I didn't bother to move an inch.

"You're annoying," I simply uttered.

"I'm what?" he was chuckling.

I closed my eyes. The day when he asked for my name, was the day he asked me to go out with him. I could not help but laugh at him that day. See? A big fat liar. I thought he would stand firm to his answer that he was not interested but look who's asking me to go out with him.

And now, the tables have turned.

"Date me, Gia..." he repeated.

"You are not interested in me, right?" I reminded as I lifted my head to look at him over my shoulder.

I heard him sigh beside me. "That was two weeks ago. Still not forgiven, huh?" he said slowly.

I tilted my head and let out a cheeky smile.

"You said no, right?"

His brow arc. "I told you I'm interested, right? I have a change of heart."

I pursed my lips. "But I won't change my mind," I sat straight and looked at his eyes directly. "I am not like you who got full just by eating your words."

He chuckled. He took my pen hanging from my lace and played it with his fingers. I just kept my eyes on him. Honestly, I don't know how this man's mind works. Like seriously? Can't he find another woman who would be interested in dating him because apparently, I am not interested.

Hunter looked like an angel sent from heaven but, there's something in his eyes which I can't pinpoint.

"I will buy you your favorite books," he insisted.

I shook my head. "Just look for other women whom you can fool with." I took the pen from his grip and turned my back on him.

"You are the one I want... Not to fool with but to be with," he joked. "Why not date me, Gia? Why not Evan Walker?" I could feel the arrogance in his voice.

I rolled my eyes and looked at him lazily

"I simply don't like you. What's there to discuss?"

His eyes became sharp but it was just in a split of seconds. His eyes became sharp but it was just in a split of seconds. I swallowed slightly especially when he looked at me seriously. I was nervous because of that. What? Is he someone who can't accept rejection? Like someone which I've watched on the local news that can't take rejection so he killed his partner instead.

I shook my head a few times trying to erase my thoughts. He should start practicing how to handle rejection.

I averted my gaze. This felt so awkward. And I don't know why but whenever he's around, I feel nervous.

"Okay," he shrugged and settled his eyes in front. "If you don't like me, I might force you into liking me."

The side of my lips rose up. After two weeks of asking me to date him, yet he still not give up. I mean, Hunter is handsome, alright. But I don't like the way he approached me and especially the dark aura that surrounds him.

I fake a cough. "What? You would force me even against my will? I don't think that's right. "

He looked me through the corner of his eye. "I forced everyone and that includes you, dating me..." He smirked.

"If you do that, I will forever hate you."

He folded his arms. "Then, date me so I wouldn't use force against you. And so you won't hate me anymore. "

"Are you being serious now, Evan Walker?" My voice was serious.

He did not speak there. Instead of answering, he just closed his eyes as if he had said nothing that made me nervous!

I slapped him on the arm. "Answer me!" I asked out loud which made my classmates look in our direction which I just ignored.

He opened his eyes then closed them again. "Just date me," he said.

I shook my head in disbelief. "You wish, Evan Walker. I don't like you so suffer."

I was shocked when he suddenly moved and grabbed my hands. I looked at my wrist which he locked in his cold and big hand. I gulped as I tried to fight his blank stares. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. So he finally let go of me and stared at me intently.

"Reserved all your hates for me, Gia. I might force you for real... " he said then left.

I was dumbfounded. What does he mean by that?
