8Sophia’s POVA knock on the door had me jumping up from the bed and wrapping the blanket around my body and walking to the door.“Who’s there?” I asked cautiously.“Me, of course. Who else?” Jenny answered with the usual sass in her voice. I narrowed my eyes before unlocking the door and opening it. She stood outside, leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. A bag was slung over her shoulder and I suspected that was where she had kept my clothes.“Was the ‘d’ that good?” She asked as she pushed past me and walked into the room. I rolled my eyes again as I closed the door and locked it behind us.“Good morning to you to,” I answered with enough sass in my voice, just like hers.“You haven’t answered my question,” she murmured.“And you haven’t replied my greeting,” I answered her. “Why are you cranky this morning?”“Me? Cranky? Lol I’m not,” she said flatly as she took off the backpack and removed my clothes. She threw them to me and I caught them expertly. A shirt and a shirt.“Uh
9Sophia’s POVI got down from Jenny’s car and slammed the door shut before leaning down to the window level. “Thanks for the ride,” I told her with a grin.“Whatever,” she answered with an eye roll. “Walk straight and don’t let your mom suspect anything. I swear I will tell her you sneaked out while I was asleep.”I pouted. “So you’ll deny me?”“Yes,” she said without mincing words.“You still haven’t told me about what happened,” I reminded her.“What happened when?” She asked with a raised brow. She started the engine of the car and I could tell she was ready to speed off once the conversation doesn’t suit her anymore.“Yesterday night. With you and the guy you were dancing with,” I answered.“Nothing happened,” she replied flatly. “And I’ll talk to you later. And oh, please keep the pills well. I will not tell your mother that I was the one who took you there.”“And what will you tell her then?” I asked, raising a brow.“That you’ve been following bad friends of course,” she shrug
10Sophia’s POV*A week later*“Sophia!”I groaned, turning around on my bed and cuddling my teddy. I wasn’t ready to wake up. Not yet. And I didn’t understand why mother was waking me so early in the morning. I was done with school after all so I had enough time to sleep if I wanted. It was Sarah and Simon she had to be disturbing about school.“Sophie,” she called out again and the door to my room pushed open. “Why are you still sleeping?”“Why am I – mom, why not?” I mumbled sleepily.“Sophie, what’s the day today?” She asked.“Um…Monday?” I asked. “It’s Monday. You’re supposed to be with Sarah and Simon, not me,” I mumbled, snuggling mh teddy.“No, Sophie. Today is Sunday, you’re supposed to be backing,” she said with a sigh.“Packing?” I asked, opening an eye. “Packing for what? Ooh. Shit! I have completely forgotten about it!”I sat upright instantly and rubbed my face. “I’m sorry, I forgot.”“It’s fine,” she replied and smiled at me. “Good morning sweetie.”“Good morning mom,”
11Sophia’s POV“Wake up, sleepy head,” I said tiredly, tapping Jenny gently. She groaned, turning around on the bed and burying her face in her pillow. We had stayed up late, binge watching a series and stuffing our faces with junks. And now she was sleeping in and I was having some kind of stomach ache.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and tapped her once again. “Wake up. Jenny.”“What? Leave me alone,” she murmured, snuggling her pillow.“You’re gonna be late for class,” I said flatly and walked away from her then sat on my bed, taking calming breaths. I had already had my bath so all I just needed was to get dressed and leave for class.“It’s just the first day. It’s not really necessary to attend. And I don’t think they’d do anything anyways,” she groaned.“This isn’t high school, Jenny,” I reminded her. “We’re in college now. We need to be even more serious than ever.”“Yeah and why haven’t you left yet? You can’t seriously be waiting for me,” she murmured, sitting
12Sophia’s POV I couldn’t concentrate. I just couldn’t. And there was no way I could just leave in the middle of the class. I wasn’t even sure if he’d allow it.I raised my hand, wanting to run it through my hair in frustration but then I still had other classes and I didn’t want my hair to get messed up. I rubbed my face instead, thinking of all the things I could do. If I stayed in this class then there was a high chance that I was going to keep filing since I couldn’t even concentrate in his class.Fuck. This was so fucked up.What had promoted me to take the class in the first place? There was a high chance that if I hadn’t taken this class then he and I would never have crossed paths during my stay in this school.This stormy eyes landed on me and he locked gazes with me as he continued talking. I was forced to look away from him. I needed to stay away from him. I couldn’t continue taking this class when all I could think of was how good he felt I side of me and how much I want
13Ian’s POV Life had a way of fucking me over plenty of times in a way that I never see coming. Just like today. I hadn’t seen it coming. Yet it happened. Not once in my life did I ever see myself running away from a woman. Yet that was exactly what I had done today. I had run away from my own student. Just because she turned out to be the girl I had fucked last week in a club. The girl I had marked as mine.Ever since I stepped into that lecture hall, I could already scent her without even seeing here. There was no way that I could forget that scent. The same scent that had almost driven me crazy the past week.I ran my hands through my hair and slammed my hand on my desk in annoyance. This was way too frustrating.I kept brushing off the scent. I told myself that it was just another person who used the same body products as her and that was why they smelled the same. It was until I met her eyes and saw those striking green orbs, coily red hair and tiny dots of freckles, that I con
Ian’s POV I couldn’t help the terrible scowl on my face as I left my office and went to the lecture hall. Teaching history was one of my favorite things since I had come to the human world. It was fun, and I loved the look on my students faces whenever I told them something they haven’t even expected to hear before. Plus it helped me remember all that had happened since I was born. A very very long time ago.But why was getting me annoyed was the fact that I had to see her again today. She had run away after I saw her in that club last week and I hadn’t even seen her since then. I still didn’t know her name. I didn’t know how I was supposed to get her name. Maybe I’d have to ask one of the students, or I have to ask her directly.Or I could just devise a smarter way of getting her name. I’d have to think about that later. I should probably think about all the amazing historic things that I was going to teach the students today. But I wasn’t particularly in high spirits today. I haven
16Sophia’s POV I moaned softly, turning around on my bed and curling under my duvet. I opened my eyes sleepily. It was still dark. And there was a figure standing by the window. I closed my eyes and opened it back almost instantly. A figure.Who the fuck was that?I turned on my bedside lamp in fear as I sat up and looked around the room. There was no one here. Slowly I got up from the bed and walked to the window. The curtain was blowing wildly due to the breeze. And the windows were open. I didn’t remember leaving the windows open yesterday. But I also didn’t remember closing them.Maybe Jenny and I had forgotten to close the windows. And then I remembered Jenny didn’t spend the night with here. She was currently at someone else’s house. Maybe the hot guy who had piqued her interest this week. I closed them and walked to the bathroom to pee before going back to bed. It took me a while to get my mind to relax, because all I was thinking of was how I was going to study for my next hi
