Kaiden

The next morning, I woke up with a fresh plan. I wasn’t going to let Sage slip through my fingers, not to the professor or to anyone else. If Sage thought I was being ridiculous, fine. But I’d prove to him that I wasn’t just being paranoid.

Thankfully, we had reconciled and I don’t think we would be fighting again. So I had the free reign to do whatever I wanted.

I ran out in the morning, very early so I could go get a change of clothes and also coffee. Nothing like a good peace offering to start the day.

When I arrived back at his place to pick him up, he looked surprised to see me. His hair was still damp, sticking to his forehead, and he had that slightly disheveled, barely-awake look that he always wore in the mornings. I handed him a cup of coffee.

“Morning,” I said casually, leaning against the doorframe.

“What are you doing? Where did you go so early in the morning?” he asked, rubbing his eyes and reaching for the coffee.

“Thought I’d drop you off at school. Consider it

    SageThe professor left without me, with no notice or anything at all. I was busy with lectures all through the day so it was best he left for work early.I hitched a ride to the company and thank goodness I wasn’t late or it would have been so awkward.“Sage, thank goodness you are here. I need you to grab the files on my desk and give it to the boss,” Chad said.“Sure,”Phew, at least I wasn’t reprimanded for coming now.I went to his desk and grabbed all the files I could find there. I didn’t even check if they were the right ones. I was feeling a little blue.I walked through the main corridor, balancing a stack of files in my hands as I made my way to Professor Rivers’ office. It was strange how quickly this place had started to feel comfortable, I was so eager to get here and sometimes, I feel it’s because I would be working with the professor or because I was closer to having my career path set.I knocked lightly on his door before stepping inside. The professor looked up from

    KaidenSilence.The room was so quiet I could hear the sound of the refrigerator in the kitchen. The vehicles passing outside, I could hear them too. It was that quiet in the room.Sage stood frozen, staring at me like I had just told him I murdered his dog. His lips thinned with every passing second, his hands trembling at his sides. I was sure he hadn’t even heard the words I’d said, or if he had, they were ricocheting in his mind. He was probably trying to decipher what I had said because I could see the fury building in his eyes.I shifted awkwardly, opening my mouth to say something, anything that might help me plead my case because it took me half a second after I said that to realize that I made a huge mistake but before I could get a word out, he moved.His hands grabbed the base beside him and he threw it.The vase flew past my head, shattering against the wall behind me.“You bastard!” he yelled, his voice cracking with rage.I flinched, more from the sheer force of his ton

    KaidenThe tension between Sage and me was as deadly as sin when I picked him up from his house. He sat in the passenger seat, arms crossed and staring out the window, his lips set in a firm line. He hadn’t spoken a word to me because of yesterday’s argument. I wasn’t going to push him, though. I had said my piece, and whether or not he wanted to talk to me was his choice.But one thing was clear, I was not dropping out of school not even if he begged. I was going to attend every single class with him and see for myself if my suspicions about Professor Rivers held any merit.He would thank me later when he sees that I was doing all of this just for him. When we arrived at the campus and slipped into class, Professor Rivers was already mid-lecture. His voice was smooth and commanding, the kind that could hold an entire room in rapt attention. Despite myself, I couldn’t help but grudgingly admit he was good at what he did. The students hung on to his every word like he was the second

    KaidenWe knocked on his office door, “Come in,” he said curtly, He didn’t offer us seats or even tried to make us comfortable so we just stood there. His eyes flickered to the both of us and his expression remained stoic.It was beginning to scare me how professional he was. I was expecting him to start scolding us the moment we stepped inside the room but he said nothing and just waited.When he was sure he had made us very uncomfortable, he started.“I don’t appreciate disruptions in my class,” he began, his voice calm but firm. “Especially not... performativedisruptions.”I opened my mouth to defend myself, but he held up a hand to stop me.“This isn’t about you, Kaiden. This is about Sage, whom I recognize as my student.”Sage straightened, his cheeks still tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Professor. It won’t happen again.”The professor sighed, leaning back in his chair. “Sage, you’re one of the best students. You have potential, real potential. But distractions like thi

    SageI have ever been more unsure of myself as I felt right now in this car. Sure, he picked me up and drove me normally but he has not spoken to me.Not even the usual smile that he normally gives me whenever he sees me. It was like I was dealing with the stoic version of my boss. While I brought it on myself, I thought we would be able to resolve it before we got to the company.If I had known it would be like this, I would have created an ultimatum for Kaiden not to attend the classes. He had caused trouble for me and now, I am left to pick up the pieces.It was unfair and frankly, annoying for me right now. Thank goodness for the music in the car because it saved me a lot.When we got to the company, he still had not spoken to me. He was on a call and I followed a few steps behind, clutching my notepad like a lifeline, my cheeks still burning from the embarrassment of earlier.It’s like he didn’t want to hear me out.I wanted to explain myself, to assure him that the incident in c

    SageWhen the supposed clients arrived, I was more than surprised to see none other than the minister of foreign affairs walking into the office. He moved with the kind of effortless confidence that only someone in his position could pull off, shaking hands firmly with Professor Rivers.His entourage hung back in the reception while we moved to the meeting to the conference room. I was surprised why we didn’t use his office.“Julian, it’s been far too long,” the minister greeted.Wait, Julian? The professor’s middle name was Julian? I didn't even know that.“Too long, indeed,” Rivers replied, a rare smile lighting up his face. “I’m glad we could finally meet. Let’s get down to business, shall we?”I remained at the edge of the room, my notepad ready to capture details. It was strange to see the Professor so relaxed and casual, as though he and the minister were old friends catching up over coffee. My pen moved across the page as they started discussing the project, a building the mini

    SageI knew I had impressed the Minister of foreign affairs when he praised me openly in front of the professor. I didn’t think he would invite me, little ole me.I still couldn’t believe it when the professor handed me the minister’s invitation. It wasn’t just a formal gesture, it had my name on it. A part of me felt thrilled that I had made such a strong impression during the meeting last week, but another part couldn’t ignore the uneasy silence between me and Professor Rivers since then.Kaiden hadn’t been around much to pester me about it, though. He’d been consumed with shoots, leaving early and coming back late, his texts short and infrequent. I would have invited him too since he would have liked to meet the minister but he would have been jealous that the professor invited me. It had been a week since we’d really talked, and while I told myself I didn’t mind, the truth was I did. But I was still mad at him, so his absence gave me room to breathe, and to think about other thin

    SageI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my black dress shirt for the third time. The sleeves were rolled neatly to my elbows, and the fabric clung just enough to show I’d put some effort into my appearance. My matching black pants were pressed. The jacket hung limply on the chair beside me, taunting me with indecision. Did I look too casual without it? Too formal with it?Before I could decide, the sound of a car horn outside jolted me into action. I grabbed my keys and phone, leaving the jacket behind.When I stepped out of the building, the professor was already out of the car, leaning casually against the passenger door as though he hadn’t a care in the world. He looked so good, his usual tailored suit replaced by a midnight blue blazer over a crisp white shirt.“You look nice,” he said, holding the door open for me.Heat crawled up my neck, and I muttered a quick, “Thanks,” before sliding into the car.As he rounded the hood and got back in, I stared straight ahead, trying

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A handsome devil

    SageI wore my clothes and wrinkled my nose when the antiseptic smell still clung to my clothes as I walked out, my body sore from injuries that hadn’t fully healed. The dull ache in my ribs reminded me of the attack, the pounding of fists and boots, the weight of helplessness crushing down on me. The bruises would fade, but the bitterness in my chest would remain because it was now obvious to me that Kaiden was the reason I had been attacked twice now.He couldn’t even come to see me after they had called him. He is a very ruthless bastard and I hate him with every fiber of my being now.The professor was waiting for me outside, leaning against his car like he hadn’t just berated me in there. His arms were crossed, his expression unreadable, as always.The warmth I had glimpsed in there was long gone now.I stopped in front of him, adjusting the hospital bag slung over my shoulder. "Are we going to your place?"He barely spared me a glance before unlocking the car. "No. I’m taking y

    SageI woke up the next day having rested my body. The first person I saw was the kind doctor who had treated me the last time. “We have got to stop meeting like this,”I looked at him, he was young and extremely handsome, I smiled. “I am sorry, I can’t help it.”His face turned serious, “what happened this time, Sage?”I sighed, how would I even explain it so he would hear it? That I was a klutz or this was the second time someone intentionally put me in the hospital? I couldn’t say anything that wouldn’t put me in trouble. I had no idea what I was even dealing with.“You have to be more careful from now. The bruises you got this time were much worse. You cannot keep coming back here.”“I understand, doctor.” I said.There was nothing else to say but that. He must think that I am an idiot. Coming into the hospital like a bruised punching bag. I brought this upon myself.He was still crossing things off his record when the professor entered. He took one look at me and frowned.“What

    KaidenA dull, throbbing pain spread through my skull as I came to. My limbs felt like lead, my throat dry and sore. The air was thick with the scent of disinfectant, and the bed beneath me was softer than I expected.Where the hell was I?I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh light spilling in from a nearby window. The room was familiar, too familiar. Clean, precise, without a single thing out of place. My stomach twisted.The professor’s house.How did I even end up back here? I thought I made the big show of packing up and leaving?Memories crashed into me. The party. The drink. The dizziness. The attack. A hit to the back of my head.Fuck, I should call Martin and ask him what the party was all about. Did he even properly investigate before putting me there?Fuck!I shot up, a sharp pain lancing through my skull. My vision swam, and I groaned, pressing my fingers to my temples.The world was still spinning around in circles and I held my head to try and steady it. It f

    KaidenThe phone hung up and I stared at it in fury.“What the hell was that?” He asked.“It’s nothing,” I shrugged.“That didn’t sound like nothing. What was that?” He asked again through gritted teeth.“Okay, long story short. The people that attacked us earlier, they attacked Sage when he was in my house and he had to be rushed to the hospital. He is fine now and he went back home but he is back in the hospital. That was them over the phone.”I heard nothing, just the faint sound of movement. I expected him to make a huge deal of it but he said nothing so I looked up.The professor’s eyes burned with fury as he stood in front of me, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His usual calm, composed demeanor had shattered, and what remained was a man filled with contempt—for me.“What the fuck? Sage was attacked?”I nodded.“Take me to him.”I wanted to argue but something told me he wasn’t in the mood to play the checkers game with me. I could argue with him and end up with a bruised ch

    SageI had days to myself in my house, barely gotten used to the quiet of my apartment. I keep having nightmares about the same people coming for me in my own house. But when I remind myself that I have nothing to do with them and they didn’t know where I lived.So I attended school, avoided the professor with care by the way and went back home. The typical life of a loner which I was sometimes okay with.The other times, I cried when I remembered that I was all alone with nobody to talk to. It really was like he didn’t care about me.Yes, I was still thinking about the professor. I had hoped he would try to corner me again to talk to me. I would have given him a listening ear this time.I shook my head with a smile and just rested my head when the peace shattered.It started with a knock at the door, and I froze. A warning bell went off in my head, but I ignored it. I wasn’t expecting anyone, but after the week I’d had, I figured it was someone from school or even my dad checking i

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Letting it all go

    Sage For the first time in years, I felt like I was truly alone. Kaiden didn’t come. Not when I woke up in the hospital, not when I was struggling to sit up without wincing in pain, not even when the doctor signed my discharge papers. Three days had passed, and he hadn’t so much as texted. I tried calling him but he didn’t pick neither did he return my calls which seem to be a usual thing for him since he fucked up. I guess I got my answer. He was done with me. I should have expected it, but the finality of it still left a hollow ache in my chest. It is something I struggled to accept but I couldn’t. Whenever Kaiden and I fight, I always imagine that it wouldn’t last. We would get back to bickering after a day or two, latest three days. But this blowout made us grow further apart like we had been fighting for decades. I was dead to him. Instead of going back to his place, where everything reminded me of him, I went home. My real home. The apartment was too quiet

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A lesson in maturity

    Kaiden Walking into my apartment felt like stepping into a crime scene. The door creaked open, revealing a space that had been utterly torn apart. My couch was flipped over, my shelves emptied, their contents shattered across the floor. The kitchen drawers were pulled out, their contents spilled as if someone had been searching for something specific. A muscle ticked in my jaw as I stepped inside, the crunch of broken glass beneath my boots making my stomach tighten. It was as if they were looking for something. I was ticked. I hated it when people went through my stuff like they had every right to. I hated it in every sense of the word. I have never acted rashly with anyone and I doubt it anyone was out for me seeing as I didn’t have the time to go around looking for trouble. I clenched my fists, my breath coming out in sharp exhales as I forced myself to calm down. Getting angry wouldn’t fix anything. I needed to clean up. I didn’t even know where to start. I left the hous

    SageI woke up to the steady beeping of a heart monitor, the sterile scent of antiseptic filling my nose. My entire body ached, a dull, pulsing pain that reminded me exactly why I was here.The attack.The masked men.Kaiden.The moment my brain caught up, I heard a familiar voice, loud, agitated."What do you mean ‘soon’? Define soon!" Kaiden’s voice carried through the hospital room. He was pacing furiously, his arms crossed tightly over his chest as he glared at the doctor standing in front of him."Mr. Kaiden, I understand your concern, but his body needed time to recover. He experienced significant trauma. His vitals are stable now, and as you can see—"I coughed, my throat dry and raw.Kaiden’s head snapped toward me in an instant. His pacing stopped, his blue eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made my stomach tighten.He marched to my bedside, his expression filled with anger and a part of me hoped that it was worry that I could see on his face.

    SageI stood outside Kaiden’s apartment, gripping my spare key so tightly that the metal bit into my palm. I couldn’t sleep at all last night, I kept turning and tossing.Wondering why my mind was still stuck on Kaiden. He was still my best friend and I couldn’t give up on him. My anger had faded away to something more realistic.Loneliness.I didn’t have anyone to rely on and it made me so fucking lonely. The professor was out of my life and so was Kaiden, that one not by choice.The worst part was that I missed both of them so much that it hurt me everytime the thought of them came up.I decided that if there was any time to make peace with Kaiden then it would be now. He was still angry but he wouldn’t turn me away.My parents’ words still echoed in my head, Let it go if you want your best friend back.Easier said than done.I was so hurt that he would do something like that to me, whatever the reason may be.Kaiden and I had been through so much.
