” Brown.. he trailed off
” I have this friend.. he trailed off again trying to figure how he could place his words
” But you have no friends..” Brown replied
” Can you just keep quiet and hear me out first? And who told you I don’t have friends?” He snapped with widened eyes
” I’m sorry young master” Brown apologized
” So what about that friend of yours?” He asked and Ryan clear his throat again staring at the ground
” The thing is… He tried saving this girl from falling but they both ended up falling and they.. he paused then used his hand to complete the rest
” But it wasn’t intentional though ” he added quickly
” What wasn’t intentional? and What’s this?” Brown asked cluelessly, doing the same thing Ryan just did with his hands since he didn’t understand what he meant
” Are you always this d.umb?”.. Ryan scoff
” I mean something like… He pouted his lips trying to describe wh@ťěver he meant since he didn’t want to say the words out loud
” Is everything okay young master? Is something wrong with your lips? Let me see.. Brown said and made to touch his lips but he slapped his hands off
” You wanna touch my lips? Are you tired of your job?”
“Sorry, You were saying something earlier..” Brown said
” They ended up ki.. he trailed off still using his hands to demonstrate while Brown just stared at him cluelessly
” I mean kiss, you dumb@zz ” he suddenly shouted and those passing by gave them strange looks
? Is he asking the guy to kiss him?
? They’re lovers?
? OMG, he’s just too cute to be gay
? Gawd, I can’t watch this!!
The people around started dispersing while staring at them disgustingly
” f_ck ” Ryan bent his head
” Wh.. what? I should kiss you? I can’t do that young master” Brown said covering his mouth with his hand while Ryan snapped his head up and threw him a deadly glare
” Why would you kiss me? are you crazy? I was talking about my friend, he kissed a girl!!! ” He snapped
” Oh, is that so?” Brown asked and he rolled his eyes
” At first, I thought you were talking about yourself but now, I really believe you made a new friend cause you’ll never save someone talk more of kissing a girl.. young master is too pure” Brown laughed
” I know right?”
” So how was their kiss?”
” According to him, It was brief ” Ryan replied
” So what has been this your friend’s reaction after the kiss?” Brown asked
” He always wants to see her face and he’s always thinking about the kiss”
” There’s only one thing to called those feelings…..
” What’s it ” he asked curiously
” It’s love young master, your friend is in love”
” That’s ridiculous” he snapped standing on his friend
” Why are you getting angry young master?” Brown asked confused
” How can you say I’m in love, are you high?”
” But you said it was your friend”
” You’re fired” Ryan said
” What?!! But Why?”
” For giving me and my friend wrong advice!!!”
” Huh?” Brown exclaimed
” You heard me” Ryan said and began to walk away while Brown followed behind already shedding tears
Ryan scoff as he walked back towards the mansion.
” Love? Joke!!” He scoffed again entering the mansion while Brown stood outside
He suddenly opened the door and peep out
” Stop standing there if you really wanna keep your job” he said and shut the door again
” Thank you young master ” Brown said
” Gosh That was scary, he’s scary” he said, going to his own apartment
Ryan fell heavily on his bed and recalled Brown’s words earlier
” Love?” He laughed. ” Brown is definitely high… love is just a mere fantasy… I’m sure of that” he assured himself.
He took off his hoodie and got into the bathroom
” Should I just stay at school until the competition is over?” He wondered as the water pour down on him
★
He descended the stairs, looking all refreshed and handsome as ever
” My baby ” Leyan went to him, caressing his hair
” Hi Mom, and you too Dad” he greeted his dad who was busy on his PC
” how are you son? Is there something you wanna say?” Xue asked his attention still on his PC
” About the competition… I’ll need to spend two days at school so I can read with my colleague” he said
” It’s fine, the key to your private hostel is with you, So you can spend as long as you want there untill the competition comes to an end” Li Xue replied
” Good night then ” Ryan bowed before heading to his room again

∆ Next day, Evergreen college
The day went by in a blur till it was closing hours
” So Did you find a place already? And thanks for the guidelines. It really helped me last night.. ” Violet said sitting next to Ryan
He stood up and pulled her up too
” Come with me ” he said, interlocking their hands and pulling her out of class
Mara balled her fist as she stared at their interlocked hands. She felt her blood drying up in anger
” Gosh, they’re cute together don’t you agree?” Claire laughed but her statement only got Jeffrey mad
★
Ryan entered the room with Violet and a ‘wow’ escaped her mouth
” This is my hostel and this is where we are gonna be using” he said, putting his hands in his pants pocket
” He looks so cool right now” she muttered senselessly
” What?”
” Huh? I mean the room is beautiful ” she said and he nodded
” Don’t be late then ” he said and left the room while she followed behind
” What’s wrong with you Violet?” She scolded herself
★@★@
∆ Evening
” Does that mean you won’t be coming home tonight?” Granny Pamela asked after Violet had explained things to her
” I don’t know yet, that’s why I took some clothes in case” she said
” Be careful”
” I will be careful grandma and don’t worry too much” she kissed her grandmother goodbye before leaving the house
★@★@★
Ryan had change into something comfy and big. He got into his library and got the books he’ll be needing before going back to the sitting room
Yes his hostel had a library… it was just like every normal mansion but it was at the extreme end of the school
He placed the books on the table and opened his laptop
He would be spending the night at school but Mara had no idea else she’d had been bugging him
He was still going through his books when he heard a knock.
Knowing who was at the door, he opened it and there she stood looking beautiful as ever
He opened the door wide and she got in
” Hey.. she waved at him but he didn’t reply
She stared at his books on the reading table and smiled.
She sat down and started going through his books while he sat at the space next to her
” Let’s start ” he said
” Alright then, let’s follow the guidelines ” she smiled but he didn’t return it
” So I made a summary of everything we will be working on ” she said stretching her book towards him and he collected it
” Explain everything you summarized in here” he said and she nodded
” here I wrote the likely……
Suddenly he wasn’t paying attention to the rest of her words as his eyes stayed glued on her lips
For some strange reasons He could feel his heart race
She paused and took in her lower lips before resuming what she was explaining. Her lips were now very red and wet which seemed to be distracting him
” I’m loosing my mind.. he muttered still staring at her
” What did you say? You Didn’t get my explanation?” She asked, her lips pouting slightly
” I wanna kiss you ” he muttered absentmindedly while staring directly into her eyes
She was lost too, her gaze not leaving his. She didn’t even hear what he said, all she could hear right now is how fast her heart was beating
Before she could read meaning into what he said, he suddenly held her to himself, crashing his lips on hers
