CHAPTER 5

AS SOON AS Hera set foot on their campus, someone stopped her. As much as possible she did not want trouble. Even if she tries to defend herself , nothing good will happen. 

"Excuse me." Hera politely spoke and tried to leave.

 But Sofia's group just pushed her to the back of the rooms, no one could see if no one was going. 

"What do you need?" The girl asked incredulously. She also could not understand why her classmate Sofia Mendoza was so mad at her. Sofia just regretted her and so did her colleagues. 

'At first Sofia was still beautiful in her eyes but now ... she's still beautiful it's just that her behavior is bad so she's ugly.' Hera thought. 

 "Quit playing innocent!"  Sofia  shouts and  glared at her. 

"Hey Sofie Just calm down" Her companion laughed.

 "This b*tch is getting into my nerves! How dare she stole my popularity!" Sofia sighed as her eyes were furiously staring at her. 

She will admit that she is very scared because she is not used to such things. She didn't know that this was how they behaved. I hope she doesn't have a sociable person with bad habits. 

"You'll regret fighting with  me" Sofia raised an eyebrow threateningly. 

"Please. I don't understand you." The girl said in confusion. She was ready to apologize if  she had done anything wrong to Sofia. But Sofia was even more angry because of what she said.

 Sofia  even laughed foolishly. "You're really making a career out of being modest and kind!" 

"What are you doing!" Joshua shouted and Hera was immediately relieved because finally someone saw them. Earlier she wanted to leave but Sofia's two friends held on tightly to both her arms. It was so tight that she felt the nails of the two on her skin.

 "Do you have to get to this point?" Joshua asked them angrily. 

This was the first time he had seen the young man angry because he was always smiling and joking. He immediately approached Hera once he untied both hands clasped to the girl. 

Hera bit her lip very hard because of the pain in her arm. In his prophecy the nails of the two who held her  left a mark. 

"Are you alright?" Joshua asked him gently.

 "I'm fine" The girl replied while smiling at Joshua to show that she was really fine. Hers could still feel Sofia's  sharp stares at her. 

 "B*tch" she heard Sofia whisper 

"You know what, Sofia? If you don't want to take chances, get organized" Joshua said last to Sofia before they left the place. 

And since  the two have arrived in the classroom late . The girl was immediately overwhelmed by nervousness because the door of their classroom was already closed. 

While with her friend, Joshua tseems like they are just not here that they are not  late.

 "Shall I knock?" Hers asked Joshua with a wry smile. 

"You know we'd better just hang out in the canteen. Let's go in later— 

Joshua did not finish speaking when the door suddenly opened causing the eyes of the two to widen. Simultaneously with the masculinity of Hera's eyes was the double beating of her heart when she saw Sir Clinton open the door. All she know is that their class in the professor  is this afternoon, but why he is already here?' Hera's mind. 

 "Why are you two late?" Question of their  professor at the  two late. 

Hera looked at Joshua because she didn't know how to answer that question. 

"We shouldn't go in— "

Joshua didn't finish speaking because their professor had already cut him off.

 "Excatly! Who said you're going to cutting-class ?." His  face was so serious that it added nervousness to the maiden. 

"S-orry Sir" The maiden immediately apologized. Because she sees that her  companion as if he is not serious and does not seem afraid to answer the teacher. 

Professor Clinton's serious gaze immediately shifted to the girl. Hera wanted to speak but could not find what to say especially when she looked into the eyes of his professor.

 His yes seemed full of mystery. Whatever he do, you will not be able to read what it contains. 

"You two, get inside" Instead of their Professor harvest.

 Joshua smiled. And they entered together. 

She glanced at the vacant seats in front. Sofia's group will not enter.

 "As I said before. I'm your temporary adviser first because Ma'am Lopena is sick." continued of  their Professor. 

His been here for a while. 

"The strength of you as  shield." Joshua whispered to her  with a laugh.

 It doesn't seem to be a whisper because it's still very audible "How can you tell?" The girl asked crookedly.

 "The professor just let us in with a 'Sorry Sir' word from you." Joshua replies laughing. 

Their classmates immediately looked at them. As well as their professor. The girl bowed in fear. Their professor's eyebrows met as he looked at the two of  her  and Joshua.

"You two are noisy." Tiffany blames them.

 To her right was sitting and to her left was Joshua. 

"Hera, i told you not to stick to that gossiper." . Lucas.  added. 

"You. Two. Out!" The teacher's mute command resonated with them. 

The girl's knees immediately trembled at what she heard but the person next to her still seemed very happy. There is still yes-yes he still knows

. "I'm going to treat you a food in cafeteria." Joshua said excitedly and at the same time pulled her out. 

Hera almost ran and walked because of the size of Joshua's steps. He seems to love not studying. Their professor, on the other hand, was secretly depreciated. Seeing that, the two seemed even happier because he let them out. 

"Did I let those two out right? Damn" 

"What do you want here?" Joshua asked her while they were in the school canteen. 

The food in their canteen is delicious so it’s a bit majestic. But that's just not the case with the students there because all the students are rich. Most come from famous families. Children of businessmen. There are also artists studying at Donovan University.

 The girl was upset because of Joshua's question. She didn't have what he wanted to eat. "There's no ice cream here." 

"Ice cream is really what you're looking for in the morning?" Joshua whispered. 

"That's what I want, eh." the girl insisted. 

"Just pick another order, later when I go home I'll buy you some ice cream." Joshua's smiling suggestion. 

Hera kept telling himself that Joshua was really kind. Not only to her but also to his other friends Lucas and Kyle, it's just not obvious.

 Hera once wished that Joshua  was just his brother.

 "I want a slice of strawberry cake." The maiden pointed the display cake.  

"Is that it all ?" Joshua asked as he told the seller his order.

 The girl thought for a moment. And looking at the drinks, her eyes stopped at the drink with the words 'chuckie' written on it, so she immediately pointed it out.

 "Thank you." Hera was very grateful to Joshua as they ate. That's why the young man held her r in the canteen earlier because Joshua was hungry. He said he didn't eat last night and didn't have breakfast either.

 "Nothing. I should be the one to be thankful because you accompanied me here." Hs said then proceeded to eat. 

According to her observation, the young man was a bit greedy. Laughing, Hera wiped the edge of Joshua's lip as the sauce spread on it.

 "I can't do anything because we were both kicked out of the room." After she wiped the edge of his lip, Hera continued eating the cake she ordered. 

While her companion was choked because of what the maiden did.

 "It's so artistic, I hope you choke" They heard Kyle laughing behind them. Kyle wasn't the only one there but  with Tiffany and Lucas. 

Joshua and Hera frowned. "Uhm ... Is it break time?" Joshua asked with a grin.

 "Not yet, you two are done enjoying eating here." Tiffany replied and stared at them before she rolled up her eyes. . But she knew it was just a joke. 

"How did you get out?" Joshua asked further.

 "Normally they go through the door" The innocent Hera replied.

 The previously choked Joshua is now choked again. "HAHAHA nice one baby girl" Lucas laughed.

 The girl was upset because of what Lucas called her. "My name is Hera not baby girl." She corrected Lucas. 

Tiffany felt sorry for Lucas. "That's  my friend" Tiffany moaned arrogantly and even patted her. 

 "I don't want to talk." Lucas said sadly. 

Their friends laughed but not with Hera because she also couldn't understand why they were laughing.

 "Y'll noisy. why are you still messing around here!" Joshua sighed angrily at the noisy friend.

 "I didn't know that these two bugs were going to follow me" Tiffany pointed at the two men who came with her. 

"Did you make any noise too so you were kicked out?" Hera asked.

 "No. I said I'll just urinate but I don't urinate so I'll just go straight here." Tiffany replied smiling. 

Lucas sighed. "Lame excuse, i know you're really going to follow Hera." 

Tiffany just laughed at it. "Then why did you two follow me?" Tiffany asked the two.

 "I also said that, I'll just going to the comfort room ." Kyle replied 

"To reap all kinds of rumors. They thought you two were going to do something, so Lucas is to the rescue" Lucas added proudly. 

 "What did you do ?" Hera and Joshia asked Lucas  at the same time

 "I said I'll go to C.R  too" Laughing,.Lucas answered.  

"Stop me, I'll slaughter this idiot." Joshua said stiffly to Lucas  as he punched him lightly.

 They just laughed when they saw Lucas hit Joshua and then he started running, so Joshua immediately chased after him while his neck was pounding. 

"You idiot!" Joshua is cheap here while running. 

"Hayys! You two are idiots really" Tiffany whispered.

 The friends just hung out in the canteen until the end of their first subject. Hera was a little nervous because that was the first time she was absent  once. But she probably won't be able to fail once she  absent from a subject. 

As they walked, the four with her are still chit-chatting loudly. It's always like that whenever they're together.

 "Shhh, your noise!" Tiffany disobeyed them as you thought she was not with the noise. 

The three just laughed. "Tiffany wants us to be  silenced because her lame  joke didn't sell." Joshua laughed at the same time so they all laughed too.

 "Next time you'll be fine, but it's better if you just keep quiet." Kyle added while laughing. 

When they got to their classroom, they were sitting in their chairs. As Hera was walking, she came across Sofia's chair, as if she had just stared at her  before. 

"Such a b*tch!" Sofia whispered sharply. 

Hera just took a deep breath. She wanted to know why she was so angry with her.

 Is it right to be angry that it outweighs her?

 Hera,  honestly has no idea of ​​the attention she gets from the students on their campus. 

When their teacher came, she just listened carefully and sometimes answered when she knew the answer to their teacher's question.

 They finished class and went home. So she immediately put away her  belongings so that she could go home. Hera  turned to the man who suddenly walked up to her and saw Joshua.

 Hera was about to complain but, Tiffany immediately punched Joshua. 

"You can't  hug her, you idiot!" Tiffany said stiffly to Joshua as she removed Joshua's arm that was wrapped around her.

 When it was removed, Tiffany hugged her arm and then pulled her out. 

"Hey! Why are you complaining, are you on my shoulders?" Joshua shouted then ran after them. 

Lucas and Kyle did the same. There was never a day that they didn’t go out at once. That's why when they arrived at the gate, they split up because they were already waiting to pick driver who's gonna pick up at them each other.  

"Bye, Hera" Tiffany smiled goodbye then hugged her and she immediately returned it.

 "When you two  hug, it's like you won't see each other again" Joshua said. 

"Why do you care!" Tiffany sighed. 

"You want a hug too?" Hera asked innocently.

 "Oh-no-no" Joshua stammered as Hera frowned. 

The girl shrugged then faced the two. "You two, do you want a hug?" Smiling girl offers as if it's just offering candy?

 "Nah, just go home safely" Lucas replied smiling

. "Okay. Bye" Hera  replied to Lucas. 

After saying goodbye to each other they left. Hera was left while waiting for her father  to pick her up by the  taxi driven by the father.

 Hera is the only one who has a hard time studying at Donovan University because almost all the students there have fancy cars and others have their own cars. But it didn't matter to her, the important thing was that her dad was living well.

 Hera snatched her  non-majestic cellphone from the pocket of her skirt because she felt it vibrate. 

She immediately read her father's text, because no one else would text her because only her father's number contained the contact on her cellphone. 

Papa: Daughter, just take another taxi first because the tire of our car is flat. Sorry, baby.

She  Immediately  typed a text for her  father. Me: It's okay.😊 

When the message was sent, she was waiting for a taxi. Hera even had to cross so she could easily find a taxi. 

It's just that that day seemed unlucky because the rain was slowly dripping. Hera couldn't find any shelter so she just hugged her bag where she moved her cellphone so it wouldn't break.

 It looks like she is really being looked down upon because no taxi has passed by...Her knees are already shaking because of the cold..Hera is also very wet. She decided to just run in case she saw a taxi ahead.

 When she was ready to run, Someone  parked an expensive car in front of her. 

 From the car window, his... His professor, he saw her professor behind the open window of the car. 

 The girl was just dumbfounded when she saw the professor, her heart doubled again. Her heartbeat becomes abnormal every time she sees the handsome professor. 

"Get in" Its serious command to her.

 But she could not stretch her legs. Hera, didn't know if she was nervous or she was just really cold so she was shaking. She also doesn’t know why she reacts like this every time she  sees the professor.

 "Hera, I said Get in!" He sounds  authoritative command to her So,Hera  quickly ran into her professor's car.
