He Was On My Way

"Hey Orion!"

Orion stopped his steps and turned around to see Aura smiling at him.

"H-Hum y-yes ?" Orion stuttered as it was rare for him to be called out, even less by a celebrity.

"Ahaha don't be so nervous! I just want you to take us in a photo!"

Aura giggled and asked Orion, but the latter froze to her beautiful smile.

"Orion!"

"Hm ? Ah yes ?" Recovering from his shock, he was confused.

"Sigh...I want you to take us in a photo in front of the Palace."

Aura asked again with a fake pout.

"O-Of course!" Orion replied nervously and walked toward Aura and her friends.

Even the tourists stopped and watched the show or rather watched the world toppling beauty speaking to a random guy.

"Sigh...Aura, you are too mean to call out to him in crowds. Look at him, the poor." Noemi said, looking at Orion's quivering figure.

He was like a cute animal afraid of strangers.

"Yeah, she is right, I understand why him but still..."

Maeva agreed. Aura was rather dense in those situations.

If Aura chose Orion to take the photo, it was because he was the man that she had the most trust in in the whole class. There were also Andrew and Austin, but the first one was somewhat 'fake' for her and Austin was surrounded by two atypical guys...

"Wha...! I asked gently though!" Aura exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah whatever..." Noemi waved her hand.

Coming in front of them, Orion took Aura's phone slowly.

Stepping back, to catch the three girls and the Palace in the picture, Orion took the photo.

Click!

"Thank you Orion!"

"Yeah, thanks Orion."

"Thanks"

"Y-yeah!"

Thanked by three beauties, stared enviously by his class and strangers, Orion was reaching his limits, so he quickly gave back the phone and ran away toward his only friend, his teacher, if he could call him that.

"Hmpf! All that show, just for a photo!"

Anna spat out in an annoyed voice.

"Sigh...calm down Anna." Her friend replied.

"Hey Elena, do you want to take a photo with Austin ?" Daisy whispered.

"Yea...! No!"

The others ignored them and followed the teacher.

A few hours later...

'Ah it was cool...'

Orion thought as he walked behind his classmates toward the private bus they would take.

Taking out his phone, he looked happily at the pictures he took.

Thud!

"Ouch!"

The whole class stopped and turned around to see Orion on the ground.

Orion, who bumped into someone far stronger than him physically, fell on his butt

"N-No way!"

Orion's panicked scream rang out.

Seeing his phone's screen cracked, his face paled. He had lots of photos of his family inside it.

"You should have moved your body instead of being in my way."

An arrogant voice rang out.

It was Jordan Hawkins. He did see Orion in front of him but still walked ahead and shoved him voluntarily.

There was no way he would step aside on his own as the heir of the biggest car company.

Orion, ignoring him, stood up and rushed toward his phone.

"P-Please...! P-please...!"

He was on the verge of tears. Precious memories of his late family were saved on his phone. Just when he thought he should buy a computer, but he didn't have enough money as his allowance was going on everything else.

"Hmpf! Pathetic. Is he really my classmate ?" Jordan uttered loudly.

"Ahahah! Exactly what I was thinking, Brother!" Vincent laughed.

*Giggles*

*Sneer*

Several other classmates were laughing in a low voice.

"Hey! Shouldn't you apologize at least!"

Aura, who saw what happened, walked forward and asked in a harsh voice which was very different from her usual cheerful one.

Jordan turned around to see Aura with an angry face.

"He was on my way."

Jordan replied with a frown.

'Why is she speaking for a pathetic man like him?'

"What...? He was on your way so you pushed him away ? "

Aura's voice turned cold. It was not the first time Jordan had done that. Even in high school he would do that.

Her father told her not to seek fights with him when she complained, so she just helped his 'victims', but now it was the final straw for her.

"H-Hey Aura, just ignore him..."

Noemi grasped Aura's hand, trying to move her away.

"No Noemi today I..."

"It's okay. My phone is still working so..."

Orion spoke suddenly, showing his phone with a smile.

The screen was broken, unfortunately, but Orion didn't care.

He was happy that Aura was stepping up for him, but he knew the influence Jordan had, so he wanted to avoid problems for both him and her.

Moreover, he knew she wasn't the only one who would have moved to rebuke Jordan. Austin, Andrew and Elena were very close to joining Aura in her scolding, to the astonishment of Orion.

For celebrities like them to intervene for someone like him, it made him a little happy.

In normal circumstances, he wouldn't even be in the same class as them, but thanks to him being a little genius, he ended up here.

"See. Its alright." Jordan said, annoyed, and walked off.

He was angry that his future woman was defending a 'nobody'.

"Hey w-wai..."

"It's over Aura." Maeva dragged Aura away by the hand.

Seeing the problem was somewhat resolved, Andrew, Austin and Elena left as well.

Suddenly, Elena met Austin's eyes. She immediately averted her gaze away.

"Hm ? Could it be..."

As Austin was thinking, he couldn't see the dark gaze of Andrew upon seeing their exchange.

"I should really buy a computer quickly." Orion muttered while looking at his phone.

Putting his phone in his pocket, he rushed behind his classmates.

A few minutes later, they reached the bus.

"Sigh...I want sleep." John said, looking at the dark sky.

It was currently 10AM as they had eaten in a restaurant before.

"Don't worry, we will soon be back."

Andrew replied with a smile.

Soon, they all got on the bus.

"Are we all here? Nobody is missing ?"

The teacher asked as he counted the number of people seated on the bus.

"33...34...and 35! Perfect Mr Tom, you can go."

The teacher said to the driver.

"Oka..."

BANG!
