Nolan sighed inwardly, not letting his expression show on his face. “Nothing sir. I was just late for some reason.” He quickly gave out the silly excuse that came to his mind.How would he have expected the teacher to buy it? He sighed more heavily, with the teacher's next words.“Are you talking to a kid or what? What do you mean by coming late for some reason? I need to know how important that reason is that you've to step into my class late.” His voice was raised a little, as he spoke.His classmate, who was watching, couldn't help, but burst out laughing. Even though they no longer ridicule Nolan to much extent, that doesn't mean they won't laugh, if they find anything funny.Nolan wasn't displeased by their outburst. He simply shrugged his shoulders, ignoring them. He turned to face the teacher once again. “The reason why I was late was due to me reading till early this morning.” He had thought them through, and his excuse was the only way to leave this man front.From the teac
Nolan smiled gratefully at her. They both talked about a few other things, before they departed. Lila of course was the one starting the conversation, while Nolan just chirped in a few words in their conversation.Before they left the restaurant, they both exchanged their contact information. Nolan had to admit that the girl seems fun to talk to.When Nolan returned back to his hostel, he slept off immediately.….The next morning, Nolan worked up due to Milo's voice.“Nolan, Nolan,” Nolan faced furrowed from being interrupted while sleeping. He glared at Milo, as though he wanted to eat him raw.Milo trembled from the Milo. He frowned angrily. “What are you doing, Nolan?! Why would you glare at me like an hunter staring at his prey?” His face was filled with displeasure. He didn't like the feeling of being stared at like that. For a moment, he had a beating heart when he received Nolan gaze, that he'd to shift back subconsciously.The others in the room didn't notice Nolan gaze, th
Of course, Nolan doesn't mind them following him. However, he was sure they had morning class. They had only used the excuse of them not having class to dissuade Nolan mind from telling them to leave.“You guys should just go to your class. I'll be fine all by myself.” Nolan had to give a solemn expression, when talking.Xena, Chandler, Milo and Chris weren't happy. They wanted to keep persisting, but Nolan's solemn expression weakened them.They could only stand up, and leave.“Nolan, make sure you don't get bullied? Otherwise, we won't talk to you!” Milo shouted before they finally left the room.“Sigh!” Nolan let out a relieved sigh. He didn't stay in this bed again, instead he stood up and arranged the bed neatly, before leaving to take his bath.When he was done, he wore a black shirt, and a white pants, making him look elegant.After making sure he was ready, Nolan left the room and locked it, before leaving for his class.…..On the way to the class, he was already hearing word
Nolan simply snorted inwardly. “Are you doubting a student mark? I really didn't expect a teacher to think too lowly of a student.” He said, casually.Mr Kay laughed, mockingly. “Do you think of yourself as a student, huh? I asked the other teachers when I marked your text paper about your performance in the class. They said you barely passed the seventy percent score, so how can you get almost a full mark in my test!” Nolan glanced at the other teachers bitterly. Of course he knows he barely got full marks before, and the reason is obvious, it's because he's always being delayed from having his exams. Most times, he's mostly given nothing more than five minutes to answer over a hundred questions. Who gets full marks in such a situation?!He faced the teacher, with a stern expression. *Are you saying just because I've never gotten almost full marks, I can't get full marks again. Isn't there a thing known as improvement in academics?” “Yes there's, but not in your situation. I fully
Teacher Kay noticed what she wanted to do, he quickly stepped forward and held her. “You don't need to flare up on an ordinary student.” He muttered,The female teacher could only nod in agreement. Flaring up would only result in her being more embarrassed.She angrily stood aside, and waited silently.Nolan smiled lightly at her obedience. He expected to keep being unreasonable.Everyone remained silent, including those teachers that joined. Regularly, they would keep stealing glances at Nolan in disdain, but they didn't say anything.Throughout all their secret disdainful glances, Nolan saw them, but he ignored it, as though it matters less to him.Two minutes later, everyone was already getting impatient. Teacher Kay was also getting impatient, but he needed to wait for Nolan to also follow along. Only God knows what Nolan might say to the principal.“Didn't you say you're here to see the principal? Go ahead and see him, stop making it wait here in vain.” The female teacher said,
“He really must have yelled at teacher Kay.”“But why doesn't it seem like someone that has just been caught cheating?”Everyone also turned to look at Nolan's expression well. While scrutinizing Nolan, they didn't seem to see any depressed emotions from Nolan.“That's strange. Why's Nolan being so unaffected? His eyes didn't show sadness.”They were all expecting by the time Nolan returns, he would be in pain and embarrassment would have been dyed on his face. How would they have expected his facial look to be unusually calm?The whispers and gossip came on going for a long time, with Nolan's eyes closed. The time they finally stopped gossiping, was when the next teacher walked in. “Good Day students?” The teacher greeted, solemnly.“Good Day teacher.” All the students all echoed their greetings together.The teacher wrote some things on the board, before returning her attention back to the students. “We'll be having a test now.”The words of the teacher came as a shock to the stud
“That teacher Kay is really stupid! How dare he defame you!” Milo was the first who busted out, looking angry.“It's okay now. Everything has been settled.” Nolan wasn't interested in speaking about this morning incident.Aside from the fact that teacher Kay got sacked, he mentioned every other thing that happened. “It's a good thing that you were sensible enough to record your conversation together.” Chris said,Nolan rolled his eyes, “are you trying to say I've not always been sensible, huh?”“Mm,” Chris feigned a thinking expression. “maybe yes.” Nolan throws his pillow at him from his side.“Argh.” Chris whimpered.The others in the room laughed.It was at that point that Milo noticed Desmond, who was standing quietly.“Hello everyone.” Desmond greeted, slowly.The four roommates all turned to Nolan. “Who's this?” They all remembered Nolan was the last to enter, so Nolan must have something to do with this person.Nolan smacked his head lightly, as he seemed to have forgotten a
The girl on glass simply lowered her head, while being immersed with shyness.She never expected, she would call out her school crush in public.“Oh my, thank God Davis isn't here!” She had a glance through the hall, and didn't see any sight of Davis at all.By this time, Chris, Milo and Chandler had already returned back to their seats.With excitement in his eyes, Milo spoke. “Isn't the girl on glass in our class? I never expected such a quiet girl crush to be Davis.”The others laughed, in agreement.Chandler turned to Nolan, and asked. “Do you know Davis?”He had asked aloud, due to the fact that he saw Nolan quiet, and not saying anything.Nolan shook his head, “uh, I don't think I know who Davis is.” When Nolan had heard Davis name on everyone lip, he knew Davis must be popular. However, it wasn't everyone he knew; he was mostly on His part time work, so how could he possibly know every popular guy in the school.“Oh,” Chandler gasped under, he didn't urge further, rather he ex
Even with the questions circulating around, no one has an answer to it. There was just a lot of speculation going around in their minds.However, there was one thing everyone concluded on, and that was “it must be something unfortunate.”They couldn't believe what would make Zachary have such drastic discoloring expression was anything near good.Soon after, Zachary hung up the call, but the look on his face was enough to tell everyone how severe the issue was.“Zachary, who called you just now?” One of his friends walked over to him and asked.Zachary remained silent but at the end, he still responded. “My sister,” he said, softly.Everyone became even more confused. If it is just a call from his sister, then what caused such a reaction like this from him?“Why did your sister call you? Isn't she aware you're in school now?” The question persisted. Even after hearing the question, Zachary remained completely lifeless and blank. It was a complete opposite of his usual arrogant demean
“Don't worry, I'll handle everything,” Nolan said, looking overly calm.Edmond sighed, as he assessed Nolan's unusual calmness. Even if he wanted to believe in Nolan, he just couldn't stay calm.With his eyes fixed on Nolan, he tried persuading. “Nolan, we're in their school, not ours. I don't think you should act in haste, and say something that's not possible,” Even if he knew his words seemed somehow hurtful to Nolan pride, he couldn't help but spill out. It was his job as his friend to make sure to remain Nolan properly in order not to make any mistake out of rash decision.Nolan remained quiet, uncertain of his next move aside from a nervous chuckle. "Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?" he inquired."Absolutely. You're seriously disadvantaged if you go head-to-head against Zachary," Edmond nearly shouted.He hoped his words sank in for Nolan. Seriously, what made Nolan think he had the upper hand here? He was completely immersed in their school environment, not like they were a
"Indeed, that's correct," Vivian affirmed with a nod, agreeing with my observation. "James resembles Zachary, but on a larger scale. He's even more infamous than the foolish Zachary."Nolan remained silent as Vivian continued speaking. "I've heard that James' demeanor stems from being the son of a wealthy man, possibly a politician," she added.Nolan gasped in realization, comprehending Vivian's words.Noticing Nolan's expression, Vivian furrowed her brows, indicating she had more to say.Observing her demeanor, Nolan inquired, "What's with that look? Do you have something else on your mind?""It's nothing, just curious how you ended up crossing paths with James, especially since it's your first time at my school," Vivian replied."I don't even know who James is, so how could I have intentionally interacted with him?" Nolan responded."Are you certain?" Vivian wasn't questioning Nolan's honesty but seemed perplexed."Yes, I am," Nolan affirmed calmly. "By the way, do you have any addi
Just like Vivian and Nolan, everyone else was also interested in knowing who Zachary claimed to be more daring than he's.With interest brewing in everyone's, they waited to hear what Zachary had to say.Seeing their interested faces, Zachary sneered in disdain. “Why are you looking so afraid?” His question wasn't directed at anyone, other than Nolan. Nolan noticed Zachary gaze on him, but he just ignored him, with no intent of wanting to exchange words with me.However, Zachary wasn't ready to let's go. He gave a meaningful smile, before sayiong. “Why are you looking afraid?” He asked again.It was obvious to everyone that he was trying to get Nolan provoked or perhaps angry. Everyone silently watched the both of them. Although they were getting impatient to hearing what Zachary has to say but his earlier words, however they could do nothing other than to wait.Nolan smirked, and replied this time. “What should I be afraid? Is it you?” He chuckled, “A female has actually labelled yo
The final speaker let out a derisive laugh. "Are you serious, Vivian? Do you even know who you're talking to?"Whispers began to ripple through the hall as all eyes turned to Vivian and the speaker, both female."What's gotten into Vivian? This isn't like her at all.""Yeah, she's usually so cautious. What's changed?""She's messing with Caira Lara."Caira Lara was one of the school's popular students, known for her troublesome behavior.What made it even more surprising was that Vivian had never interacted with Caira before. Everyone assumed she was either being cautious or outright afraid of her. But today's events seemed to cast a new light on the situation.Was Vivian not afraid of Caira Lara after all?Vivian sneered, at Ciara's words. “Of course yes. Isn't it obvious that you're Ciara. I only asked if you wanted a slap too, so just answer me that's all.”Once again, murmurs filled the hall, with everyone turning to themselves to engage in a discussion.Vivian must be indeed craz
"Relationship?" Nolan barely held back a laugh. The notion of him being romantically involved with his cousin was so absurd that it struck him as hilarious.But, he reasoned, they couldn't be blamed since they were unaware of the truth.Milo, Freddie, Chris, and the others all perked up at the surprising revelation."What in the world did we just hear? Nolan in a relationship?" Their eyes widened to the brink of disbelief.It was comical. The idea of Nolan being in a romantic entanglement had never crossed their minds, so hearing it now provoked amusement rather than seriousness."I have to ask again, are you two actually in a relationship?" Zachary's focus was not on the reactions of the students in the hall; rather, he was eager to uncover the truth.Vivian glared at Zachary, almost looking crazy. “Are you stupid or what? Why would you have such nonsense about us?”Zachary seethed his teeth, coldly. “Yes, I'm stupid if that's what you define my obsession. I can't help but think the
The eight hands that were about touching Nolan all held in the air.Everyone turned to the cold yet angry female voice.Nolan, on the other hand, was also curious so he turned to the familiar voice.Even without the voice stopping the Menz he was already prepared to teach them a lesson. How on earth do they think they would be allowed even the hem of his outfit.As everyone turned, they were even more shocked. “Vivian?” Everyone exclaimed all at once. Nolan was also surprised. Although he knew Vivian school here, he didn't know the extent of her popularity for all of them to call out at once.He straightened his clothes, before walking over to Vivian. “You're here.” The eyes of everyone widened at Nolan's casual tone towards Vivian.One even asked, amongst themselves. “He knows her?”“As you can see, I'm also shocked.”Vivian didn't react as Nolan had expected. He'd expected her to jump and shouted looking surprised and excited seeing him. Instead he got a hit on his shoulder.“Ah,
Everyone's breath seized as they watched the tension unfolding. What was Zachary doing? Chris moved closer to Micheal, as he whispered. “Is this how Hilltop students treat their teachers?” Michael puffs out a small laugh. It was obvious he finds this scene hilarious. “As you can see I'm also surprised. This Zachary is so gutsy.” He couldn't help but mock.They both returned their gaze at Zachary and Nelson.“You can't just say you've nothing to say. You need to prove him wrong by giving me some information about how the whole commotion started.” Nelson said, through seethed teeth.Although he was displeased by Zachary's harsh words, he couldn't lose his temper, as that wouldn't seem right in front of many students.Zachary rolled his eyes, before snorting. “Mr Nelson just return back to the staff room, and stop snooping into what's not your business.” He snapped, in retort.“Oh goodness!” Everyone's mouth widened, as they used their hands to close it. Did he just call Mr Nelson a s
While remaining upright, he casts a menacing glare at Nolan, aiming to instill intimidation and divert the focus of Nolan words onto another individual.Yet, his intentions falter as Nolan unexpectedly interjects with a demand, "Apologize to him!"“Another repeat?” Zachary mumbled inwardly.A hush falls over the hall, everyone holding their breath, intrigued as to whom Nolan is addressing.Most of the Hilltop students are unfamiliar with Nolan, as he is not part of their student body. However, Nolan's fearless demeanor piques their interest."Who is he?" one of the females exclaims. "I'm getting goosebumps. He's quite captivating.""How can you say he's captivating? Even if I don't like Zachary, it's not right for someone from our school to harass our peers."“Hmph. Zachary must have started it first. I don't think this charming guy started it.”They all began to argue. Since their perspectives are all different, it was normal for them to have an argument.“Well, even if Zachary start
