~ Avril's POV ~
“Miss, can you please get off me? I have a class to attend”, said the guy in a calm voice while I was still sitting on his lap.
Shit! Why can’t my day just pass normally? I don’t want to face this guy right now, but how should I hide now?
There is no option left, but to face this situation like a strong girl.
Come on, Avril you have gone through worst situations than this. This is not something that can be the worst, right?
I immediately get off the guy and after that, I turned around to help the guy to get up from the floor, but the moment I turned around to help him, I got stunned to look at his face.
Wow, is this university only filled good looking man? He looks quite like that annoying man, but unlike that shameless person, his eyes were sea blue.
The man then sighed in frustration whilst he was looking in my direction.
Avril, how can you space out in this kind of situation? I quickly dashed towards him to help him to get up from the floor while offering him my hand.
“I am so sorry, but I didn’t mean to bump into you like this. No, no, I don’t mean that I have other ways to bump I, not you.
Oh, God! What I am saying? I mean...”, I exclaimed in a panicked tone while looking at the guy with a flustered look on my face, but before I could complete my sentence, he cut me off in the middle.
“Calm down, will you? I can get up myself. So, just do one thing for me.
Take a deep breath and relax, alright?”, the guy told me in a deep voice while he got up from the floor. I then helped him to pick up his books which were scattered on the floor because of the sudden bump.
I need to help him as soon as possible or I will be late for the lecture. I can’t afford to miss my first lecture.
It was my dream to come to this university and complete my studies. There are so many things that I still need to complete.
While I was helping the guy in collecting the books, he for some reason was smiling at me. Why the hell is he smiling for no specific reason.
I then fixed my specs and told him whilst handling the books in his hands, “Sorry and bye. I hope next time we will meet in a better situation.”
After blurting out those words, I dashed towards the lecture halls without looking back at him.
He must be thinking that I am the weirdest girl that he has ever seen. It must be because if that good for nothing guy. He must have jinxed my day.
The moment I entered the gate, I got stunned to see such a large number of students seated in the lecture hall.
There were maybe hundred of students or maybe more than that.
Shit! They all are looking in my direction. I don’t know why, but whenever, I become the centre of attention for this kind of situation, I start to feel awkward all of a sudden.
What should I say to the professor for getting so late on my first day? Well, whatever. I will tell him the truth that I got late as I was submitting the documents.
“May I come in sir? I am sorry for getting late. I got late in submitting my documents”, I told him in a low voice while every student who was sitting in the hall was looking in my direction.
Some of them started to laugh at me and some of them just ignored me.
Why the hell are they laughing? I am just late and it’s not like everyone can be on time, right? I hope that I am not disturbing his classes in the middle.
“This is the first and the last time that I am allowing you to come to the class this late, miss. If next time you will repeat the same mistake then I have to take some strict actions against you.
Ravenswood High is not for people who can’t even come on time.
Find a seat for yourself and open your textbook", asserted the professor in a cold voice whilst he was glaring in my direction from the podium.
I entered the hall without making any noise as I don’t want to attract any more attention than this.
My gaze was stuck on the floor while I was heading towards the seat. When I looked up there was no seat left for me and even when I find any seat, the girls immediately occupied it by saying that they don’t want to sit with the likes of me.
If I will complain to the professor then he might yell at me for disturbing his lecture. What should I do now?
While I was thinking about all of this, suddenly my eyes fell on the backbench where the whole row was empty and no one is trying to get in my way.
Finally, I got a seat. After settling down on my seat, I got some strange vibes, like all the students were looking at me with a stunned look on their faces and some also gasped in shock.
Why are they reacting like this? Gosh, I just can’t get people like them. First, they didn’t let me sit with them and now they are trying to scare me off from here also, but they don’t know that tricks like this don’t work on me.
I immediately opened my textbook, but then suddenly I felt some ominous aura was surrounding me.
“Having fun in my seat, ugly? Didn’t anyone tell you that this seat already has an owner? You seriously don’t have any good manners.
Your parents must be so disappointed in you, right?”, asserted the guy in a calm voice whilst he was glaring into my direction.
When I looked straight, I saw the guy whom I was trying to avoid so much. Why? Just why can’t this jerk let me focus on my studies?
Wait! How can he just barge in the class when I was scolded for just a few minutes. The professor didn’t say anything when he just randomly decides to enter the hall and even now he is not even looking in this direction. It’s like even the professor is on his side.
That’s just unfair, isn’t it? Why I am the only one who is reminded about the rules and on the other hand they all are treating him like he is some sort of VVIP.
“Owner Seriously? I don’t think so, Mr As this is not your private property. This place is for everyone who has paid their fees.
So, the one who is disappointed in their parents is you and not me. If you are done blabbering then can I pay attention in the lecture?
I believe people like you don’t need education, right or should I say people like you don’t deserve to be educated?”, I told him in an irritated tone while I was looking in his direction.
There was also some other annoying bunch of people who are glaring at me, but Ashton stopped them.
“You were right Ash this girl has some sass in her, but let me warn you, baby, Ash is not someone who likes a sassy girl.
If you want to win his heart then try to act quite timidly and he might change his behaviour or you can even plead him to forgive you for your rudeness as he might give you another chance to stay in this university peacefully”, exclaimed the other guy who was standing beside Ashton while he was holding a girl by her waist.
Why are they bothering me with their presence and why the f**k will I ask for forgiveness from the likes of him?
“Why the f**k will I change myself for this shitty brat? Guys like him only have things like a nice face and loads of money from their parents and nothing else, but I don’t think that he can live off on his parent’s money for his whole life and nor he can have the same appearance till eternity, but if he is a vampire then it's a different story”, I told them in a loud whilst trying to shooing them off.
“Ash, this ugly have the potential to become a lecturer, right Mat? I mean, just look at her shabby clothes and that big black specs of hers.
What can you expect from a nerd like her? She must be so poor that she doesn’t even have the resources to fix her hair.
My God, sweetie that bun is outdated. I don’t know even after, in this sad condition of yours, you seriously dared to mess with Ashton Ross.
Should we call you brave or stupid for your actions?”, said the woman who was in the arms of the other guy named Mat.
Wow, now she is giving me fashion tips. I want to ask the professor that why he is not saying anything to them when the one who is disturbing the class right now is them, but soon the question which was inside my head was answered by the annoying guy.
“You asked me that if I am this lecture hall is my private property, right? Well, like I told you this whole university is mine, but you just don’t get it, do you?
So to make it more clear to you let me give you a live example of how much power and authorities I have in this university”, said Ashton in a hushed voice while he was walking closer to me.
Why is he getting so close to me? I immediately got up from the seat to live from that place, but before I could do that he grabbed my wrist and after that, he pushed me back in his direction because of the sudden push the tip of my nose hit something hard, maybe his chest.
“What are you doing? Let me go. Sir, this guy is disturbing me”, I yelled at him in a loud voice whilst I was trying to push him away, but to my surprise, the professor didn’t even look in my direction.
Ashton then held me in his arms. My back was now facing his whilst he was still holding me by his arms. I was struggling to get myself free, but he was too strong for me.
“Shush! Don’t waste your energy on yelling and struggling, ugly. There are still many things that you have to go through for getting in my bad books.
Mr Harrison, I think that your lecture is over, right?”, he asserted in a cold voice while he was looking at the professor.
What is he talking about? There is still half an hour left for the lecture to be over. Is he out of his mind?
“Yes, yes, you are right. Students the lecture is over. So, if you don’t have anything then you can all leave the lecture hall.
We will continue the topic in the next class. Mr Ross, I would like to take my leave then”, the professor said in a panicked tone while he was gazing in our direction.
In seconds the whole hall was emptied just by his words. Why is he doing this with me? I haven’t even said anything to him then why is he behaving in this manner?
“Why are you doing this with me? Let me go. I have done nothing wrong”, I told him in a desperate tone whilst I was still trying to get freed from his grasp.
In this big lecture hall, I am stuck with him and his friends. What should I do now to escape this situation? I am captured in this devil's arms.
“Should I just shut this mouth of yours, ugly?”, he asked me in a husky voice. He then again turned me to himself and now I was facing him.
His cold gaze and his disgust with me was quite visible on his face then why the hells is he leaning closer to me?
Is he serious about shutting my mouth? I immediately shut my eyes while I was able to feel his warm breath fanning my face.
