Surprised Visit

Liam turned his eyes towards Zack and the latter knew exactly what he needed to do. Zack whistled out and four rugged guys appeared out of the crowd of students. Anastasia widened her eyes while Trevor only turned his head towards the boys who were rushing towards Liam to stand by his side. Liam was flaring and snapped his other fingers at his minons. “Attack him. Show him that he messed with the wrong king here.” Liam ordered and the boys all smirked as they pressed their knuckles together ready for a fight.

“Hey! No fighting in the hallway! I'll inform the principal.” A girl with big glasses made herself known as she showed her phone which she used to video the whole scene. One of Liam's minons was about to charge towards that girl with glasses when Trevor dashed to stop the guy. “Aren't you a man? Then fight me.” Trevor growled. His blue eyes sparking out a firery rage within. His aura became dangerous that the guy gulped and moved back. Liam was seething with anger. Who was this new guy and how dare he threaten his territory. And the thing that bothered him the most was the fact that he was defending Anastasia. His Anastasia.

He turned back his gaze towards Anastasia. “Who is he? Your new toy?! Are you now cheating on your supposed boyfriend who's abroad?” Liam accused blatantly in anger and Anastasia gasped before her hand rised up and went across his face resonating a loud slap. Everyone gasped in all astonishment and many of them quickly brought out their phones to record the whole thing. Anastasia was gritting with anger. She didn't know when her hands went up in the air and slapped Liam so hard that Liam felt the ringing in his ears.

Liam staggered a little with shock evident on his face as he held his stung cheek. His eyes grew red with anger as he clenched his teeth while glaring viciously at Anastasia. “Don't you dare malign my character ever Liam! You're nothing but a piece of scum!” Anastasia yelled and Liam screamed out of his lungs and was about to hit her when Trevor quickly grabbed his arm in mid air. In a flash, Trevor punched him in the face sending Liam backwards and to fall hard on the floor while groaning and touching his nose that was bleeding. Loud shocks and gasps erupted around. And Trevor grabbed Anastasia's arm and dragged her out of the scene as Liam's minons quickly got out of their way.

“You'll pay for this!” Liam yelled behind them. Trevor took Anastasia to the cafeteria and she immediately threw his hand away from her arm. Trevor turned around to see Anastasia fuming. “Why did you have to interfere?” She asked giving him a one up look. Trevor stared at her blankly. “Why did you have to intervene Trevor? I could have handled it and not let that fool stain my character with his muddy thinking.” She said.

“Oh sorry. I only meant help but I see am truly sticking my nose in your affairs just like last night. Maybe I shouldn't have stuck my nose last night as well.” Trevor taunted. “Are you rubbing the fact that you saved me last night on my face?” Anastasia asked. “Maybe I am because I now see how ungrateful you really are.” Trevor replied and Anastasia gasped. “I always pay my debts and I treated your wounds...” She paused when Trevor raised a hand. “Forget it. I wonder why I even bothered to look your way last night. I should have minded my own business and went my way. So stupid of me to want to help someone in need. I think it's better I don't. At least when I didn't, I never got into unnecessary confrontations and attention like today.” Trevor said and shoved both his hands into his pants pocket and walked away muttering something under his breath.

Anastasia watched him storm out from the cafeteria and Meghan suddenly appeared from the entrance. “You shouldn't have spoken to him like that. He saved you yesterday and today as well.” Meghan said. Anastasia looked at her. “Are you on his side now?” she asked and Meghan slapped her forehead with a heavy sigh. “You know sometimes it's pointless to talk to you when you're this upset right now. I'll see you after lectures are over for the day.” Meghan said and walked away leaving Anastasia to stare with surprised eyes.

...........

After the incident, Anastasia never encountered Trevor from up close. Whenever they shared a class together, he always sat at the back of the class and at a far away distance from her. She didn't mind at all and preferred the distance. He was a strange man. She didn't want any attention dragged up and now her worst fears had come true.

While scribbling out some notes on her notebook, two girls who sat in front of her turned around to ask her. “So is it true? Are you going out with that hunk of a new guy?” A blonde girl by the name of Judith asked with narrowed brows. Anastasia stared at her blankly and the other girl next to Judith with the name Mandy asked. “And are you freelancing with him while your so called abroad boyfriend is away? Huh? Tell us. We won't tell.” The two girls giggled amongst themselves while waiting for Anastasia's reply. “Why are you laughing Judith? It's normal. Am sure she misses being touched by a man and her boyfriend is far away. Makes a lot of sense. I will also do it too. Until my boyfriend comes back of course. Right Judith?” Mandy asked in a whisper with a giggle. “You're correct Mandy. Even I won't be able to wait a whole week without being railed. I'll get a sugarboy as well.” Judith replied also in a whisper as both girls turned their necks around to await Anastasia's response.

“Am sorry girls but am not like you two. Am not a slut to open my legs so easily just because my boyfriend isn't in the country presently.” Anastasia replied and the two girls widened their eyes in shock.

“Aren't you one? Everyone saw how that handsome stud what's his name, em.... Trevor protecting you from Liam the other day.” Mandy mocked with a smirk on her lips. “I mean who knows what could be happening behind closed doors, I overheard some girls saying that she let him in her apartment one night.” Judith said and Mandy feigned being shell shocked. Anastasia was shocked for real this time by their words. How did they know about her letting Trevor enter her apartment?

The girls chuckled with evil grins on their faces after seeing Anastasia at a loss for words and turned their neck back to their front to continue their business. Anastasia took a sharp look towards Trevor who was busy paying attention to the lecturer. Anastasia knew Trevor couldn't have been the one. He didn't look like a gossip and plus, since the past few days, he had been avoiding and treating her like she didn't exist and she didn't mind it at all. He had saved her that night and she repayed the favor by taking care of his wounds. They were both even. But now the fact that these girls knew about how she allowed Trevor to enter her apartment surely the whole class and school would know about it as well and then her mind went sharply to only one person whose mouth couldn't stay in one place.

“Meghan.” She whispered with her hands clenching tightly around her pen. The bell rang and everyone rushed out of the classroom to either head to their homes or hostels or to party out with friends. Even Anastasia rushed out of the classroom with the intention of locating Meghan. They always waited for each other outside the school building after lectures were over for the day and so she rushed out of school.

Once she was out, she found some girls gathering around and clicking pictures. She walked past them and to her utter surprise, Adam was standing in front of her in the flesh. Her mouth parted slightly as her eyes widened and she froze on her spot. Was she dreaming? There was no way he could be here, he still had about two weeks left before spring break. And she knew Adam was very serious and focused when it came to his studies.

Adam also couldn't take his eyes off of her. His heart tightened at just the mere sight of her. She looked so different since the last time he saw her when he boarded the flight two years ago. Her dark brown hair had grown a lot in the last two years. The last time her hair was short but now it was reaching her lower back. She even looked more beautiful and matured in person and up close. His amber eyes twinkled so brightly as if he was staring at a precious jewel. The two of them stared at each other with so much intensity and everyone around them all suddenly disappeared. It was just the two of them now. It was only their moment.
