Chapter 2 No way

I turned to see who was calling me as soon as I had gotten off from Leo's car. Turning forward to remove my bag from the car when I hadn't seen anybody

Sophia Macs!!.. I heard my name again, this time louder, then felt a hand on my shoulder.

I looked down at the beautiful, elegant manicure fingers that rested on my shoulders. I noticed the light pink with flowers nail polish, turning around to face who I already knew it would be.

"I am shocked to see you on campus grounds today, your royal highness.".

Marcelina Vegas, my best friend and partner in crime, was saying as she wrapped her hands around my shoulders.

I would be stealing her from you now, Leo. Marcellina said, looking in my boyfriend's direction, then winking at him.

I turned around to see his reaction and saw him looking defeated and sorrowful.

He blew me a kiss when he noticed I was looking at him, switched off his car, then followed behind us

"Look who is here, "if it's not King Kai himself, Marcellina said, nodding in his direction.

A few meters from where we were headed stood Kai Ryan, my best friend and confidant, "well," male best friend, considering the fact that Marcellina was my best friend too.

His brown skin shown in the sun, making him look ethereal; his dark black wasn't left out of the sun's glory.

It seemed like he had done something to his hair because they were looking curlier than normal.

He was resting his perfectly sculpted form on the stair railing; he wasn't buff with too many muscles, nor was he overly lean.

He stood up from the position he was in, standing in all his tall glory.

"I know I am not meant to be talking about my best friend like that, but I couldn't help it that he was good-looking, and praising a good-looking person was something I could never resist.

He gave Maercellina a bright smile, then proceeded to scowl at me.

I rolled my eyes, lifting my middle finger at him, then also scowling at him.

He stood there for some minutes wondering if he should cover the distance or wait for us to catch up with him.

He finally made up his mind, covering the distance and engulfing both of us in a tight embrace, pecking us lightly on the head, then proceeded to greet Leo, who I hadn't realized was still following behind us.and I felt bad instantly. I had been so focused on Marcellina that I had forgotten about him

"She made you late, right?", I could hear him asking Leo

I turned to respond to him, but felt a push at my back, making me give up the idea.

I knew who had pushed me, but I wasn't ready to start an argument or play fight; besides, we were already late for lecture.

"I am going to miss you." I said, turning to face Leo and giving him a huge when we had finally reached our lecture hall and it was time to part ways.

Leo didn't have classes with me; he was actually a year further, and the thought of not seeing him for the remaining hours made me really sad.

"Off you go now, sweetheart; I wouldn't want you getting into trouble for disturbing the class with your late attendance." Leo said, pecking me lightly on the head, then shoving me forward.

"I love you," he mouthed, proceeding to face my best friends, "take care of her for me, would you? waving at them, then disappearing into a corner

"That's enough sulking for today," Kai whispered into my ears while pulling me into the lecture room.

The hall was full, and we were certain we were not going to get any space. After searching for an empty seat for hours and the lecturer getting pissed at us, we finally decided to sit at the only available space left, which was in the front.

"Couldn't my day get any worse?" I mumbled to myself while taking a seat on the right-hand side of Kai.

"What did you say?".

"Nothing," I replied Kai, trying hard to catch up on what the lecturer had taught earlier.

The lecture lasted for approximately two hours, and in all of the two hours of what had been taught, I had understood just 30 seconds from the class.

I groaned, feeling tears pull at the back of my eyes. I couldn't afford to fail this course too. And I still didn't know who was going to tutor me on the one I had failed.

My mind went briefly to Ivan Petrov. My overly tall, shy-looking but dangerous friend, who was also an eye candy and had girls who flocked him all the time. He had had a thing for my best friend Marcellina; they had dated for a while but decided they were better off being friends.

I scanned the hall for him, checking if he had come for lectures, concluding he hadn't when I didn't see him.

The scrapping of chairs and zipping of bags showed the lecture had ended for the day. I glanced towards Kai, wondering where everybody was off to. I was certain we had another lecture for the day.

"Are you planning to sleep here, Sophia?" he asked when he noticed I wasn't making an effort to get up.

"We have another class now, don't we?"getting confused and wondering if I had gotten the time table wrong.

"It's been cancelled," he replied, pulling me from my seat.

I took my time putting my notes that I hadn't written much into my bag, getting distracted by the numerous people that had come to say hi while doing the little task of putting my notes in my bag.

"Look who is popular," I heard Kai whisper into my ears. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head as well.

This was something he always said when the rest of my friends, whom I could only see in class, came to greet me.

I wasn't popular or anything, but I spoke to a lot of people, and I always made sure to say hi and make conversations whenever I saw them, but since I hadn't been able to do that today, they had decided to do it instead.

Miss Sophia Macs!!

The sound of my name made everybody stop what they had been doing and the once noisy hall became silent.

Is Miss Sophia Macs here?. If she is, can she indicate?

I felt a hundred eyes on me and my heart pounding and promising to burst.

Why was my math teacher calling my name?

Was he planning to tell the class that I had failed his last semester course? I knew I was exaggerating, and there was no way he would do that.

I could feel my hands shaking and my palm getting clammy as I raised my hand to indicate that I was the bearer of the name.

I was certain I would pass out as my eyes locked with the stone cold eyes of my teacher.

"Follow me to my office."

Mr. Forrest Kyrios said, turning to leave the class, his face emotionless and void of the smile that had been there when he had been teaching earlier.

I could hear the whispers of my course mates asking what I had done as I said my goodbyes to my friends and headed to his office.
