It was one hell of a turmoil as the whole campus turned upside down to see the two sought after heirs of big company, not to mention the top freshman student and the most handsome guy in the campus. Cadmium Austen and Andrei Eldysse.
"You guys, creeps me out." Cana just shook her head and left the two who were busy bickering when they noticed she had left they followed through her.
"The sophomore class is scheduled in the afternoon, why do you keep following?" Cad confronted Andrei who has neer left at Cana's side.
"I am just seeing her in class, is that a problem?" He keeps that casual smile on his face.
"I am walking with her, we attend the same class, you don't have to come!" He is now irritated that Andrei won't leave them be, what more it is tiring Cana with their endless throw of words.
"Oh please, you two mind your business I need to focus." She then runs away from the two and leaves them speechless at how fast she was able to get away from the two of them.
"You? Did you just run a marathon?" Meng who saw Cana at the front door just eyeing her from head to toe.
"N-no… I...I'm on...r-run…" She has never run that fast since highschool that must mean her muscles are getting weak, now that she might do the same stunt again.
"I think I'll have to join the track and field club soon." It was her other plan.
Before the class starts she sees that Cad entered the classroom as well, she immediately hides her face with a book.
"Are you hiding away from Austen?" Meng noticed and asked her.
"That guy and the other one are persistently bothering me, can't they just leave me alone?" She replied.
"Well, if I were that, I would be annoyed too because of the rumors surrounding it." If I was right, she still has a friend who understands the bother.
"However…" pausing and looking at her friend, "If I were to assess the situation, it is much better to have them around."
"What? Didn't you know that it will add more fuel to the fire? Those fans will not just grill me, they'll erase my existence!"
"You're exaggerating. Well, they are around to keep tabs on you, and besides having the two people involved I think it is better for them to be around."
"I know but…"
"Plus, it'll make those fans harder to bully you, not all the time I am or those two will be around you. So it's good that the two Princes care about you."
"Do I have no other choice? I just want my old peaceful college life back." her head was now down on the table.
Cadmium is clearly looking out for her, even after the class his eyes were fixed on her location he watches everyone who passes by on her as if someone might stab her if not careful. Good thing nothing has occurred and they all finished their respective classes in the afternoon.
"We'll see you tomorrow, we still have a subject to attend this evening." Meng and Bea waved goodbye to Canary and Chelsea.
"Hey Chelsea, make sure to return my notes on economics 'kay?" Bea told her.
"Ah, don't be noisy, someone might hear! You know our professor hates it." Chelsea makes a silent gesture to her while covering her mouth with the other hand. They laugh at how playful the two of them are, they all get along together.
"We'll see you then!" Cana bid them and they headed to the library to work on their assignment, they saw that it was a bit crowded on the hallway all the way there which is unusual in the afternoon.
"Seems like it's a busy day for other departments as well." Chelsea said as those are faces not familiar to her and most of them wear different colored laces.
"That only means we are not the ones having a hard time too, we better finish this so we can get home before it darkens." Cana, who is unbothered by the piercing gazes of the group of students as they pass, continues to enter the library.
"The reports just came in, I will try to summarize it in a bit." while scanning the documents on the screen Samuel kept on receiving calls.
"Yes, I'll send it soon as I'm done." it was the usual scenario every afternoon, he would start his work early and would end it late. The reports on the sales department just kept on piling up, but it was not a problem for him, he was still able to clock out on time and wrap all his tasks. Around this time, Cana would usually call him that she is about to go home or what he is doing. He took a sip at his coffee and stared at the blank screen of his phone.
"I didn't know your dorm is just a street across from the University!" Chelsea excitedly said as they were walking out of the campus.
"It's the first time that we're going home together so you guys never knew it." Can be explained.
"The price of bed space is expensive here especially at the uni-belt and it's always full when I inquire before. How did you manage to find one?" Cana remembered the day that she bumped with Nawill and the nosebleed she had that day.
"Well, an acquaintance just happened to offer it to me." she just winked at her friend.
"Can I crash in your place? You know I really want to get out from my parents place plus it was my dream to rent a space!" Chelsea begs her but Cana shook her head firmly.
"No way, we will be cramped if you do. Plus I want a private space." It was a flat out rejection.
"Heartless, are you really my friend?" Then they both laugh out loud.
"Oh yeah, you said you have a boyfriend right?"
"Hmm? Yes, why do you ask?" She looks at Chelsea who is grinning ear to ear.
"So… Does he visit you at your dorm?"
"Sometimes, he would pick me up when we have a date."
"Well, after that?"
"He would also drop back home." Chelsea's face palmed.
"No, not that… you know after your sweet date...then at your room…" She tiptoed and whispered in her friends ears, slowly Cana's face turned red.
"No! We are not on that stage yet plus he is busy working!" She is all flustered.
"Oh geez, you are already dating for more than a year, it's just normal you know?"
"That is normal? Did you do it with your ex-boyfriends before as well?" Chelsea choked at Cana's straightforward question and looked around if someone heard her on the street.
"You! It's something you should openly talk about in public!"
"Well you were the first one who talked about it."
"I whispered! I whispered to yoU!" She kept hitting her arm.
"Ah sorry sorry! I'm just curious, you know!?"
"Well… Of course!" Then she faked her cough.
"Really!?"
"It is not something to be amazed, it's normal if you both agree for a consent."
"Oh… I see."
"Well how old is your boyfriend you said he is working already right? Does he not attend college?" She got a lot of questions since it was the first Cana ever opened something about herself and her relationship.
"Well he is still in graduate school, but currently taking his internship in a Trading company." Chelsea looked at how brightly Cana smiles whenever she spoke about her boyfriend. She seems so happy and is relieved that she was well taken care of. The issue surrounding her might really not bother her at all since the person closest to her must be a good person.
