Chapter 5

The class ended without any further mishaps. Michel picked his books and stuffed them into his bag and was ready to leave when Marlin stopped him by standing in his way. At first, Michel avoided her and tried to walk off but she persisted him by continuously blocking his way.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Michel said after getting annoyed by the act

"No" Marlin

"then can you please get out of my way, I am getting late for my class," Michel said with his usual calm voice

"Haah…you think you can ignore my presence and just walk away?" Marlin was trying hard to stir trouble with him but Michel was very scared of his father that he dared not stain his name on the first day off college.

"Miss I am not interested in your idle games, I have a class to attend" Michel jumped on the chair lying on the side and leaped to the other side without bating another eye towards the annoying lady.

'Shoot I am late for the next class.'

Elsa dashed through the corridors and ran as fast as she could to another building where she had her next class, Ever since she was little she was very punctual and hated missing classes and this was one of those unlucky times when she was late to a class. Even if Elsa was a 28 years old lady living inside a college student body, she didn't think about taking the life for granted or making the body's life miserable if someday she had to leave it.

HUFFING AND PUFFING she finally reached the hall where the class had already started and the seats of the auditorium were packed. Elsa looked around and found no empty seat until she noticed a slender hand raised at the end of the auditorium, It was a cute girl waving at him. Michel walked towards the end and saw an empty seat beside the cute girl, Michel walked to the seat and sat beside her.

"Thanks," Michel said with a smile not knowing how toxic it could be for a girl.

"no worries" She grinned and turned to concentrate on the lecture.

Twenty min passed and suddenly the quiet auditorium turned into a fish market, the girl's population of the class started to panic as they looked at the screens of the phones, the teacher on the stage also stopped teaching, Some of the girls were blushing while others were laughing like a bunch of horses.

"Seems like he is here" The girl beside Michel whispered

"Who?" Michel asked

"you don't know?" She said with an astonished expression

" I am new here, I just transferred," Michel said while turning his head down, the actions were so adorable that the girl beside him reflexively held onto his one cheek.

"Oops…I am sorry, it's just your dimple was…" The girl blushed as she apologized

"no that's okay" Michel smiled

"That's not fair," The girl said when he smiled

"What?" (Michel)

"How can a boy be so beautiful?"

Her sentence made Michel chock on his saliva and he coughed until he turned red.

"are you okay? I am sorry for saying that?" she said while rubbing Michel's back

"yes (cough) yes I am fine" (Michel)

"here have some water" She gave him a cute blue bottle to drink water from

"thanks" (Michel)

" By the way, I am Lucy Carter," She said while extending her hand towards Michel

"I am Mic…. Mike Phillips, It was nice meeting you" He said as he shook her hand

"So friends?" (Lucy)

The words seemed very beautiful to Elsa so she smiled and replied

"Friends" Michel replied with another smile

The gossiping inside the auditorium increased and al the eyes were on the back door.

"So what is going on?" Michel asked Lucy

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. The College King Logan Noah is on his way to take the class" She said in a boring way

" Hmm…" Michel thought the hassle was for something interesting but it turned out to be this

"HMM? That's your reaction?" Lucy got surprised by Michel's reply

"Hmm. I thought it was something spectacular but it turned out to be a student with a fancy name so, I am not interested" Michel said

"Pfft…. Hahahahah that was funny, wait till he hears about your thoughts." Lucy said while holding onto her tummy

"You don't know who he is right?" Lucy continued

"Nope" (Mike)

"Well it's an advice from a friend, Stay away from him" her voice was serious this time and Elsa was a kind of person who took advises seriously

"Okay, I will" Mike replied with an equally serious face

Amid their discussion, the door on the back of the auditorium opened, and surprisingly all the students swarmed like bees towards the door to greet the deity.

"LOGAN, LOGAN…" the name of the deity was in the air, most of the seats got empty as they had left their seats, and those who were still on their seats were desperate to get out of it. The line in which both of them were seated was almost empty. Michel turned around to get a glimpse of the mighty deity when his phone started vibrating. Michel took out the phone and saw 3 messages from an unknown number.

"Who might this be?" Michel said to himself

He opened the chat and read the texts,

"Ethan Arnold, your Psychiatrist"

" you have an appointment with me on Sunday at 6 pm "

"Don't be late"

The text looked more like a death threat than a therapy meeting

'Memory therapy? So they think they can induce somebody else's memory into my head? Well good luck with that mister Ethan Arnold'

"What time is your next class?" Lucy asked

"hmm. let me see" Michel drew out the piece of paper from his pocket "it's 1:30"

"Oh that's so great, let's grab some lunch after class," she said happily

"Okay sure," Michel said

The crowd from a while ago headed back to their seats broken-hearted as the news from before turned out to be fake, many students left without any notice and the teacher turned back to the screen to proceed to teach. And Michel started noting down the information until somebody bumped into his arm while they were seating themselves in the seat next to him.

"No, no, no not there" Michel cried

Now that Mike was pen less he grabbed his bag to find something else with which he could write, but fortunately, the person sitting next to him offered him a pen, without saying a word. Mike took the pen swiftly and thanked him before he started writing down the stuff he missed while he lost his pen.

The was about to end so Mike turned to the person who had offered him a pen, it was a guy wearing a serious expression. It reminded Mike of his father.

'stop thinking about that ice block, not everyone is as heartless as him' Elsa shrugged her thoughts and returned the pen to the person beside her.

"Thanks for the pen" he held the pen in the air but the person next to him didn't bother turning towards him nor did he take back the pen. So Michel who was in a hurry to go to the canteen without wasting a single second grabbed his hand and placed the pen firmly in his grasp and then walked away.

Elsa swiftly got out of the auditorium and looked around to find Lucy who had magically gone missing since the guy next to Michel arrived.
