Chapter 07

"Everyone, eyes on the target and just keep passing the ball." Moura yelled. The while basketball court is filled with boys practicing.

"Luca, move fast." Moura yelled. Lucas was relatively slow as compared to other days. The truth is he couldn't sleep properly last night. 

"Why are we even practicing?" He groaned in annoyance. He looked around to everyone and saw all of them were genuinely practicing. 

"Because we fucking got a match with other schools. Now get your ass concentrate on the field." Moura yelled followed by the whistle making everyone alert. 

"Mr. Black." A young boy called as soon as he entered the basketball ground. 

The called male turned watching the very familiar boy standing at the entrance of the room. "Yes." 

"I apologize for disturbing you in between the practice but Mr. Lee is calling for Lucas." The boy said very politely. 

"Why do you have to apologize for that." Moura smiled at the boy turning back to the players playing.  "Lucas." He yelled. 

The boys didn't hear him so the older has to blow the whistle for making them all listen to him. "Volkov, Mr Lee is asking for you. Go" 

Lucas couldn't be happier. He didn't waste even a second throwing the ball behind his back making it a perfect hoop. Everyone in the team was amazed at the abilities of the boy. 

"Saw that." Lucas winked at the trainer making the old almost hit him. Lucas accompanied the young boy making his way to the Gym. 

"Why is he calling me?" Lucas asked once to the boy while walking to the mentioned area. 

"I don't know. I was passing by the hallway, he asked me to call you." The boy seemed a bit scared and a lot angry at the present male. 

"Come on Harper, it's been so many months, yet you are still holding the grudges." Lucas clearly mocked the young boy. 

"You better stop talking to me and go where you are called." The boy wanted to just kick the player in the face.

"Ohooo, Robin Harper is angry." Lucas laughed making the other boy even more angry. 

"I'm trying my best to avoid making a scene so don't provoke me." Robin grabbed the players collar glaring at him. 

"Good Morning, Mr. Lee." Lucas greeted the gym coach who was standing at the entrance of the door. Robin turned abruptly. 

"What is happening here?" The gym coach asked. 

"Nothing sir." Lucas pushed Robin away correcting his shirt and a dirty smirk dancing on his lips.  

"I'm sorry sir." Robin apologized while walking away. 

"What did you do this time?" Mr. Lee asked Lucas as soon as the boy was out of sight. 

"Nothing sir. When do I do anything?" Lucas asked innocently. 

"Lucas." Mr. Lee raised his eyebrows knowing exactly how innocent is the young player in front of him. 

"I swear sir I didn't do anything. " The young player defended himself. 

"Anyways. Get in." The trainer made him walk inside. 

"Why did you call me, sir?" Lucas asked looking around as mostly he was called when something new is being arranged in the gym or when someone broke anything. Being the head of the gym, he got the responsibility of looking after the equipment’s. 

"This is the list of freshmen of this year and..." the coach handed him the paper and turned to get another one. "And this is the list of students who needs to get the certificates."

"But I distributed the certificates myself. There was no one left for certificates." Lucas said looking at the names. "All of them are given the certificates." 

"Alright then, this is the list of the freshman who will start from tomorrow probably. Make sure all of them gets their name registered and see if you need new equipments." The coach asked. 

"Sure sir. I'll do that today and will report to you in the evening." Lucas gave a quick look to the list and then back at the coach. 

The bell ringed for the first period. 

"If that's all then I'll take my leave sir." Lucas asked. 

"Sure." The coach replied and Lucas was quick to run to the lockers. On his way to the locker, he gave the list good look and tried to remember all the names. There were 25 people on the list and his eyes stopped on the 7th name. 

Miles Theo. Age 20. Height 5.10, weight 59Kg.

"What the fucking hell. Is this really Christopher's friend?" Lucas was having doubts. The boy didn't look a gym type guy. 

"59 kg? This dude is really misfit for this place." Lucas chuckled folding the list and pulling his bag put of the locker. 

"Hey bud" The most cheering voice greeted him. Lucas turned only to get engulfed in bone crashing hug. 

"Willie, get the fuck away from me." Lucas groaned. 

"Fucking hell Luca." Willie replied giving him a kick instead. "People greet each other."

"Well, I'm not people. I hate this hugging and kissing." Lucas replied rudely. 

"You clearly are not normal people." Willie rolled his eyes walking past the boy. "Which subject?" 

"Maths." Lucas replied following the boy. 

"Me to." The annoyed tone was clear in both boy's tone. 

"I hate this subject." Lucas said joining the front male. 

"Same." Willie replied. 

Nonetheless both males walked to the class. It was the most boring class they had and the only good thing about this thing was that Lucas and Willie were together in it. 

                                                       ~~~~~<<<<~~~~~~~

Miles was sitting at the reception waiting for his class to start. It was his first day and he was not known about the campus so he waited for someone to pass by so that he can ask them. 

Soon his wait was over when he saw a young boy passing by.

"E-Excuse me." Miles hurriedly stood up from the chair and stopped the boy. The boy clearly looked angry, and the least Miles wants right now is getting yelled at. 

"Yes." Apart from being angry the boy still replied softly to him. 

"C-Can you please show me the way to Classroom C-3" Miles asked. 

"Sure, why not." The boy smiled watching how troubled the other one looked. "Robin, the name is Robin." 

"M-Miles. Miles Theo." Miles replied as he saw how friendly the young boy extended his hand. 

"Nice to meet you, Miles." Robin replied. 

"Same here." Miles smiled a bit more openly. Since he got here Robin was the second person after Christopher who was nice to him. 

"So, you are the freshman?" Robin asked. 

"Yes. It's my first class today." Miles told him. 

"Oh, you are cute." Robin complimented him getting him off guard. 

"S-sorry?" Miles asked adjusting his glasses with his hands as a habit. 

"You are very cute, and these glasses adds more to your beauty." Robin bobbed his glasses making the boy giggle in result. Miles was genuinely happy seeing somewhat friendly boy. 

"Here we are." Miles was pulled back to reality by Robin's voice. He looked at the board and they were standing in front of the classroom C3. 

"Thank you." Miles replied while bowing to the boy. 

"Anytime bro. I hope we'll see each other again." Robin was actually wanting to spend more time with this boy. 

"Sure, we will." The boy replied giving his signature boxy smile. Robin who was already having a crush over this boy. 

Miles was quick to go inside. He was first to go inside. The whole classroom was free, so Miles chose the first seat. It's good to be at front and understand what teacher tell you. 

Miles was happy very happy for today's class. Soon the classroom started to get crowded. Slowly the whole room was full, and the teacher also got inside. 

"Good morning class. Today is your first day. Let's start with the intro shall we. I need to remember your names." The teacher was very friendly, and Miles liked it. The only thing Miles hated in the whole situation was the intro part. 

He never was good at describing himself or doing any introduction. As he was sitting in front, so he was the first one to give the introduction. 

He was very hesitant; he didn't know how much his class fellows will like him. 

"H-Hello e-every-....."

"It's okay love, relax." The smiling female came down toward him and stood beside him encouragingly. "Nobody is perfect, just tell me your name." 

"Miles Theo." Miles almost whispered. Only the teacher could hear him. 

"Alright Miles, how old are you?" The smile never leaving her glowing face. 

"Im-I'm 20" that was a bit louder. As soon as everyone heard it one certain group started laughing making Miles shrink in himself. 

Just as he thought, he isn't good enough to fit in. Miles tried his best not to cry over a small thing. He did get gloomy, but he didn't cry. 

"Silence everyone." The teacher shouted making everyone get silent. "Go on, Miles tell us about yourself." 

"I-I'm from Dering Harbor, I live there with my brother. I like singing and dancing." Miles said with a small smile trying his best to ignore the murmuring voice in the background. 

"Good. We'll get along good as I can see." The teacher encouraged him with a smile and then she asked him to sit down asking the next student to stand up. 

"Hi. I'm Sara, I'm from here, Brooklyn and I like singing." The next girl introduced. As that way the whole class introduced, and everyone liked something about someone. 

Miles was happy that if not everyone than at least he had some people who praised him about his hobbies. Some of them asked him about his village and Miles felt proud about telling them how he used to spend time there. 

"Wow it must be so fresh and natural over there?" One of the girl squeals about Miles telling his routine.

"It is." Miles replied with a smile. He liked how he wasn't considered a freak for being from small town. 

"Aye Freak." Someone yelled and soon a paper ball hit his head. Before Miles could turn, he was pushed from behind making him trip over his feet and he hit the wall. 

"Josh what the hell is wrong with you." Sara pushed the said male away and helping Miles to stand up straight. 

"Keep your mouth shut. My head hurts listening to your nonsense." Josh spatted before turning and leaving the call. The first class was over, and all this drama started as soon as the teacher left the room.

"Are you oaky?" Sara asked concerned. 

"I am. Thanks" Miles stood straight. He was actually thankful that he didn't hit the wall rather strongly. 

"Come on. We need to go to the Gym." Sara helped him. Although listening to the word’s confusion crowded his face. 

"Gym why?" Miles asked. 

"You didn't read the board this morning? We need to go to gym for registering ourselves. We have the gym for our first semester." Sara told him as they walked out of the room. Sara was actually friendly and free going girl. Miles liked her company. 

"Hey." Both friends turned to see Robin standing a bit away from him. 

"Hey. Robin." Miles replied with a big smile. 

"You remember the name." Robin was so happy. 

"Why won't I? You helped me." Miles replied walking toward the said male. 

"Aww I'm touched." Sara giggled making the other two smile also. 

"Where are you guys heading to?" Robin asked. To be honest he has been waiting outside the class ever since Miles got inside. He just like the boy naturally even if that's the first meeting he can say he is already liking the boy. 

"Gym. We need to register ourselves." Miles replied. 

"Oh, I'm going that way too. Let's go together." Lie. Robin had a class but he just doesn’t want to go there.

                                                 ~~~~~~<<<<<~~~~~~

Lucas and Willie just left the class. They barely survived the class. Lucas was almost sleeping during the whole class.

"Come on let's go to the cafe. I need a good refreshment." Willie said as soon as they left the class. 

"I can't. I must go to gym. There is a new badge of freshman I need to register them." Lucas replied with a sigh. 

"What the...... do you ever get free?" Willie complained. 

"Forget it. I have a way better news to tell you." Lucas's whole demure changed. The usual evil smirk on his face again.   

"What the hell is happening there?" Willie whispered yelled looking at front. Lucas was also quick to look where Willie was looking. 

"What the hell." Lucas can feel rage boiling in his body. Infront of him he saw Miles practically coming hand in hand with Robin. 

"Forget it. You tell me what you wanted to tell me?" Willie asked. He doesn’t care what they were doing. 

"I saw this fucking ex-boytoy of yours. He grabbed my collars. Oh, he was so pissed." Lucas tried to laugh but he couldn't forget the way both boys were handing. "I'll see you after gym." 

"Alright. I'll be in cafe then." Willie said walking past him. 

"Okay." Lucas hurriedly walks towards the gym. He can see all 25 students standing by the entrance. He walked from between the crowd, and he entered pushing some girls and boys intentionally. 

"Girls and Guys walk over here and register yourself. Please refrain from pushing each other." He announced before sitting down. "Make a line and come one by one." 

The line wasn't according to the list so it was bit disturbing, but it went well. 

Miles felt his heart will beat out of his chest. He can't, He never can face Lucas whatsoever. The boy has made a lot of hard impact on him. 

He needs to go near him, talk to him. He was just two people away from going near the desk. He felt like cold sweats dripping off his back. 

"Next." Lucas yelled making Miles walk a step toward him, but he was going to faint. 

Please make it go well. 

"Hey round glasses move faster. I don't have whole day." Lucas yelled looking at him. Miles walked close to the table. 

"Write your name, date of birth and sign here." Lucas asked just like he asked everyone else. "Give me your hand." He then said. 

"Right hand." Lucas asked and Miles held his hand toward him. Lucas grabbed it rather harshly making his arm practically jerk. 

"I need your thumb impression."  Lucas said and then pressed his thumb first on the ink and then more forcefully on paper. Miles was trying his best to hold his trembling figure. 

"Welcome to my supervision blondie." Lucas smirked giving the boy's hand final hard squeeze. Miles can clearly see the evilness on Lucas's face.
