"I-I'm sorry for troubling you today. And I also want to thank you for helping me." Moira thanked him.
The man was about to speak but he wasn't able to do so when the doctor came back with a tray of painkiller tablet and a glass of water...
"Here, drink this painkiller tablet so that it can help ease the pain." the doctor advised.
"Yes, doctor. Thank you very much." Moira thanked the doctor as well.
She quickly popped the medicine into her mouth, and she drank some water.
After a few minutes, the pain was suddenly gone, and she feels so much better compared to few minutes ago...
She thanked the doctor once again. She also said her thanks to the stranger who helped her.
"I should go to my first class now...Bye." Moira politely said goodbye After that, she walks towards the door.
"Wait, are you sure you can attend classes for today?" the stranger asked her, while walking with her at the hallway.
"Yes, I feel much better now. I think I can attend my classes." Moira replied.
"Aren't you going to take a rest? I mean, this is just our first day at school..." the man asked her again.
She curiously frowned when she noticed that this stranger is walking with her.
“Wait, why are you following me?” she puzzily asked the stranger.
“I’m not following you... This is also my way for my first class." he answered, in a matter-of-factly tone.
Well, it could happen.
Moira just shrugged her shoulders, and she continued walking until she reached the room for her first class.
"Good morning, and I'm sorry for being late!" Moira immediately apologized at the doorway.
Moira wanted to hide under a rock when she saw the students and the Professor staring back at her.
“What’s your name?” the male Professor asked her.
"Moira Milton, sir." Moira answered.
"Oh, yes. Your name is on my list. Welcome to my Humanities class. Please take a seat but don't be late next time, okay?" the old Professor reminded her.
“Yes, thank you very much, sir."
Afterwards, Moira quickly took the front seat.
"Okay,then. To continue with our discussion---" the Professor stopped again when he saw another student standing at the doorway...
Moira and her other classmates looked at the door. Her eyes suddenly widened when she met that familiar man...
It was the same guy who carried her to the clinic!
"Good morning, sir. I apologize for being late in your class." the man sincerely apologized.
"Alright, I'll let you off since this is just our first class for this semester. Take a seat so that I can continue with the class." the old professor stated, while shaking his head.
"Thank you, sir." he thank the professor.
The man chose to take a seat just beside Moira.
"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" Moira whispered at him.
"For your information, this is also my class." Tyler simply answered, and then he started focusing on their class.
Moira just blew out an exasperated breath. Anyway, maybe she's just overreacting.
Being in the same class with this man shouldn't be a big problem for her...
====================
After 45 minutes.
The students hurried walks out from the classroom to go to their next class. Meanwhile, Moira decided to go to the University's Cafeteria first to buy a sandwich because she suddenly feels hungry after what happened awhile ago...
"Hello, there!"
Moira quickly turned around when someone tapped her shoulder. She saw a petite-looking woman smiling brightly at her. She curiously frowned while trying to remember if she ever met this woman...
"Hi, you're Moira, right? I'm Sarah Brighton, and we're on the same class." the woman chirped at her.
"Oh, you were also in that first class?" Moira asked her.
"Yes, that's right!" Sara replied.
"I'm sorry, if I got confused at first... A lof of things happened before the class and I'm just overwhelmed..." Moira tries to apologize.
"Yeah, half of the student population here knows what happened to you and Tyler..." Sarah suddenly stated.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Moira asked again, while looking puzzled.
"Okay, before I explain everything in detail, let's order some food first and we'll talk about it while eating. I'm treating today!" Sarah energetically announced.
And before Moira could say anything, Sarah was already ordering food.
After a for minutes, Moira and Sarah are already eating at a certain table inside the cafeteria...
"So, tell me... How did you meet Tyler Bancroft? And what were you whispering about earlier in class?" Sarah bombarded Moira with questions.
"Well, it was kind of weird, but this is what happened." Moira told Sarah the full details on how she met Tyler, and how he helped her go to the clinic...
"Oh, yes! Every student have seen you being carried by Tyler, "bridal style." It was like a scene from a romantic movie!" Sarah gushed.
"It wasn't romantic for me. It was so painful, I thought I was going to die." Moira replied, while shaking her head.
"By the way, how's your nose now?" Sarah asked again.
"I don't feel any pain anymore, but the University's resident doctor said that I should drink painkillers for a week." answered Moira.
"Oh, it's a good thing that Tyler Bancroft was able to help you. You're such a lucky girl!" Sarah excitedly gushes at her.
"I'm sorry, but what's the big deal with with this Tyler Bancroft guy? Why is everyone interested in him?" Moira curiously asks Sarah.
Sarah's eyes widened in shock, as if a bomb suddenly exploded infront of her.
"What now? I'm sorry, but I really don't know anything about that guy!" Moira stated, in a defensive tone.
"Well, you'll be thrilled once you get to know more about Tyler Bancroft. He's the only child of the richest man in the country, which is Mr. Timothy Bancroft, who's a business magnate. He owns chains of hotels, a Michelin Star chains of restaurants, and he even owns this school. Tyler Bancroft is his only son. He's not just filthy rich, but he's also jaw-dropping gorgeous,and take note, he's considered as academically genius!"
Although Moira didn't want to admit it vocally, she was quite impressed by Tyler Bancroft's background. It's not just because of his wealth, but he got brains as well. Her negative opinion about the guy suddenly changed.
"--- And you're one lucky lady because Tyler carried you to the clinic! How romantic! He was carrying you like a damsel in distress, being saved by her prince! I won't be even surprised if you fell inlove with him at first sight!" Sarah still can't stop herself from talking.
"Well, I guess he's not my type." Moira said, while shrugging her shoulders.
"What? Are you kidding me? Are you really a human? How can you not fall inlove with Tyler Bancroft?!" Sarah bombarded her again with questions.
"Gosh, I really don't know! I guess I'm a robot? Or maybe an alien?" Moira tries her damn best not to sound sarcastic.
"Sorry, but you're not good with jokes... Anyway, let's see what will happen in the future. But for now, let's enjoy looking at Waldorf University's eyecandy..." Sarah stated.
"I'm not gonna jump into the bandwagon, but goodluck with that." Moira said, as she drily smiles.
For the next minutes, Sarah started chatting with her while eating their lunch.
Afterwards, they both went to their next class...
