Tears

Chapter 6|Tears

"Nah, my partner is... letter K." 

I can't look at his full name because there's no other K in our class, I know he's my partner. 

"Kyaaaaaaahhhhh! Kian is your partner?" she screamed. 

It was too late for me to cover her mouth. Kian was grinning mischievously at me.

How are things going? How can I learn about his life? We didn't agree on anything, so is it possible to learn more about his life? Is it possible for me to simply go to the Dean of the Academy and then look at Kian's information? But I might get chastised. Heist! What am I going to do? Perhaps I failed Ms. M's subject.

"Ayisha, are you okay?" she inquired, concerned. 

She hugged me and grabbed my shoulder. 

"Who's your partner, Nah?" 

I want to cry with rage! Very unlucky! Jannah relaxed her grip and forced a smile.

She had definitely pulled out her crush. But why does her smile seem forced? 

"Thyron is my partner." 

Oh! I'm mistaken. I thought it was Xander, but it was Thyron. That's too bad! This would be her chance to speak with her long-time crush since first year.

"Kyahhh! Guys! Aarone and I will go first; give me a chance to get to know my Papa!" 

Sarah is also a unique personality. Is it really necessary to emphasize Aarone's status as her partner? After all, her partner is an Academy prince, so who wouldn't be? 

"How fortunate you are, girl! Haaaaay, Too bad I didn't win a prince," my classmate lamented. 

Many of the girls were disappointed because they did not find the princes.

"Sha, I'm going to see Thyron," she said, patting my shoulder and leaving me standing like an idiot. 

I was overcome with sympathy for my cousin. How can I assist her? Hmmm... I know! I looked around the room, hoping to find Xander. Holaa! I saw him together with Samantha.

Samantha is a quiet classmate of mine. Similar to a nerd. She always wears big glasses and is unconcerned about her surroundings.

I was about to approach them when I noticed Xander standing up. "Tyron! Bro!" he exclaimed, motioning for him to come to him. 

Thyron approached quickly, and Xander whispered something. I'd like to hear what they're saying, but I'm too far away. What did he say quietly?

"Thank you, bro!" Xander exclaimed as Thyron nodded. 

Xander quickly left and approached Jannah. Kyaahhhh! Xander trades Thyron for Jannah as a partner. Wow! Yeyyy! I had assumed they were not partners! 

As they looked at me, I just smiled.

""Is my impact on you that great, Ms. Duffel, that you're still smiling?" 

Wait a minute, chongg... When I turned around, Kian was smiling at me. A mocking grin. 

"Me?" I asked, pointing to myself. 

"Will you like it? Chonggo, you're jerk! And just so you know, you're not my partner!" 

Arhhhggg!! I want to beat him! Why is he still alive?

"Oh, really? How can that be if I'm not your partner?" he asked, looking around at my classmates. 

"Why are you the only one without a partner?" he said, taking my hand in his and looking me in the eyes. 

I'm unable to move from where I am. I'm nervous once more. Just relax, Ayisha. Allow yourself to be swept away by his gaze. Inhale. Exhale. 

God! Will he kiss me? He moved his face closer to mine. He still has my hand in his.

"Ms. Duffel." 

His voice is endearing. How is your trip going? I wanted to say something to him, but I couldn't open my mouth. I simply closed my eyes and waited for the next event to occur. Nothing happens after one or two minutes. After that...

"Hahahahaha! It's as if you have no idea! Hahahaha! Were you expecting me to kiss you? " 

I quickly opened my eyes and glared at him. You're crazy, Kian! I saw him squirming with laughter, and I just looked at him with a 'what the hell look'. 

"And, besides, I'm not your partner, huh?" 

He waved the paper I was holding close to my face. No! No! No! How did he get that?! 

My cheeks became extremely hot. 

"You don't want it yet, you can talk to me for three days if... you can talk to me," he said as he pocketed the paper and returned to me. 

"Leave me alone! I don't need you!" 

I turned away from him and ignored him. What else does he desire? Yes! I'll be honest! He is my partner, and I am extremely unlucky! chonggo, f*ck you!

""Ayisha, are you saying something?" 

What the! Why is he so close to my ear? I felt the warmth of his breath on my neck and I'm terrified. 

What's happening to me? Why does it seem like someone lives in my personality? I want to reach out and kiss him! What?! Wait! Wait! What did I say, kiss? Hell no! No! Ayisha, calm down! It's just Kian, don't panic.

"Ayisha, Ayisha," he said softly in my left ear.

Why is the tone of his voice so sexy while saying my name. Am I dreaming? Did I hear right? I didn't realize I was smiling. It was just the two of us. Time rolled around. I feel like we're the only ones in the classroom.

"Have you had a shower today? You have the odor of a gorilla. Hahaha! Hahaha! " 

What? I? No way... I faced him, and my chest felt like it was about to explode with rage. 

"What a jerk you are! I don't mind if I don't get a grade! I would never want to work with a jerk like you!" 

I couldn't stop myself from slapping him because I was irritated, and my hand moved spontaneously towards his face.

His eyes widened as he saw what I did. He didn't expect that from me. I didn't wait for him to say anything; instead, I turned and ran out of the classroom. Speaking causes him pain. He's going to treat me like a dog just because I'm poor? What a jerk! Kian, I'm furious with you! You're absolutely nothing! 

"Wait, Ms. Duffel!" 

I despise you, Chonggo! He called three times, but I didn't answer. What he was doing hurt me deeply. He makes me feel embarrassed.

"Ayisha! I simply have something to give!" 

I came to a halt and faced him, wondering why he was still following me, to embarrass me once more? 

"Here's your ID, Ayisha. You fell it down the stairs earlier while fleeing Xander and me," he said softly. 

My tears streamed down my cheeks as I wondered why I was crying for this man. 

"Are you happy? Are you pleased to see me cry and suffer because of you?!" I wiped my tears on the back of my palm while keeping my gaze fixed on him.

Many students are looking at us but I don't care about them. 

"What? Speak up! You know, I never dreamed of meeting someone like you in my entire life! Why are you like this? Is it because you're rich? Is it because you're the heir!" 

My voice could be heard echoing down the corridor. When my chest tightened, I took a deep breath. 

"I don't care if you're rich!" I sobbed even more as my heart raced and the pain became more intense. I was even having trouble breathing.

"Are you okay, Ayisha? " 

He held my hand, but I shook it. Aaahhh! I'm getting weak and my vision is blurry; what's wrong with me? 

"K-Kian, I can't breathe..." He wrapped his arms around me. 

"I can't..." 

"Ayisha! No! Ayisha! Get up! I apologize. Ayisha!!! "
