Bite me NOT

Chapter 9: Ideal Guy

I don’t want to go to class.

I don’t want to see Vladimir.

Can I not go and just skip class today? If my parents really owe him then might as well do my best to stay away from him! Should I just drop his subject?! But will they allow me to drop it even when it is already weeks after the class opened?

I guess not.

I sighed.

What should I do now?

I bit my lips and tried to figure out what to do, but I don't really know what to do! So for now, maybe I will just attend his class and see what will happen.

So I walked slowly in the hallway, I saw Aldous and Valentin standing in one corner while looking at me and talking. 

Yes, I know that they are talking about me. And it is something serious because Valentin is not acting as his playful self.

I wanted to go to them and confront them! I want to ask them what the hell did they tell my parents to make their minds change?! I wanted to ask them if they are connected with Vladimir?

But then, I feel like I should also not associate myself with them anymore. If they are related or connected to Vladimir then I might as well stay away from all of them. And I have this feeling that they really are!

They are nothing but bad news!

I shook my head as I entered in my classroom.

“Sienna!” Chiara greeted me with so much delight. This is her new favorite subject because she really has a huge crush on Vladimir.

I sighed and gave her a small smile before I proceed to the chair next to her.

“Hey..” I greeted her then put my things on the table.

“What’s with the long face?! It is such a beautiful morning!” She giggled and started to fix her hair.

I rolled my eyes at her.

What does she even like about Vladimir? I mean yeah, he is hot and such a catch..but..his aura is so dark!

“Not all are excited about this class, you know..” I said lamely.

Chiara scoffed.

“Why don’t you look around and see?”

With my brows furrowed, I looked around and noticed that all the girls are busy checking their make-up, or their hair or clothes!

I made face!

Seriously why are they so shallow?! They are all acting like this because the professor is hot?!

Why don’t they just focus on their studies?! For all I know, while Vladimir is teaching, they are not listening, instead, they might be fantasizing him!

Ugh! Gross!

I shook my head and look back at Chiara who is smirking at me as if trying to prove a point.

I rolled my eyes at her for the second time.

“Whatever!”

Chiara giggled as she heard defeat from my voice.

“Don’t you even find him handsome? If not Hot?!” she asked interestedly.

I made face as if I look disgusted by her question.

“No way.”

“I don’t believe you!” Chiara said doubtfully. And I understand. It will be impossible for girls not to like him..he really looks as if he is a God's gift!

But I think I'll pass.

“He is not my type!” I emphasize it per word.

“Then, what is your type Ms. Moretti? What is your ideal man?”

My head snapped to where the voice came from. I stiffened and sucked my breath as our eyes met. His eyes are sending me daggers. His jaw is clenched and his hands are turned into a fist.

The dark aura around him almost gave me goosebumps.

I swallowed hard as I tried to break free from his stare, then I straightened my back. 

I decided to ignore him. Perhaps he will just ignore my comment too, and just start his class?

But he won’t let it go that easily, because he even took a step closer to me.

And I can feel the eyes around me.

They are all looking at us.

Maybe they are wondering what's happening..

He took another step and my heart started to beat fast, and I can hear whispers around us.

What is he doing?

Has he forgotten that we are in class?! That I am his student and not just the daughter of his friend or should I say, the daughter of his enemy?!

He is making a scene! I hope he can realize that!

“Come on Ms. Morreti, why don’t you share in the class what’s your type?” he said again.

I gasped. My cheeks felt hot, I just want to be eaten by the ground.

I can hear some of my guy classmates are trying to agree with Vladimir! 

I bit my lips. And inhaled sharply, before I look at Vladimir again.

No. I won't look weak in front of him. I want him to see that he cannot bully me that easily!

“I think, it is none of the class’ business Professor. Why don’t we just proceed with your lesson for the day?” I said bravely even when my insides are trembling with fear and embarrassment.

I lifted my chin, to show him that I am not affected, when deep inside, I am already freaking out!

I really shouldn't have attended his class!

Wrong move!

Vladimir eyed me.

No, he won’t give up that easily.

“Sure, we will do that Ms. Moretti.” He started, then he put his arms in front of his chest. “After you share to us, what is your ideal guy, hmnnn?” 

I glared at him.

I don’t care if he is my professor since it seems like he is already taking this personally! Is this the start of him, being mean to me, since I am the child of his enemy?!

Is he showing his true colors now?

Was he able to hear the news that my family almost run away last night?!

“I refuse to tell the class about it, Professor.” I said firmly and I felt Chiara’s nudge at me.

I blinked.

“Just humor him, he looks scary, as if he is going to eat you alive!” Chiara whispered and I saw how Vladimir’s forehead wrinkled. He looks annoyed now.

“No.” I said stubbornly to Chiara while looking straight at Vladimir.

I won't give in!

“Can we, now start the Class Professor? Because I am telling you, I won’t tell you even a single trait in my list.” I said cockily and I heard my classmates gasped. 

Maybe they are shocked with how I answered the Professor, but right now..Who cares?! He started it, so I will finish it.

I stared at Vladimir's eyes.

And we actually had a staring contest.

Then after a few minutes, Vladimir nodded, his face is still dark as he watched me closely.

“Very well Ms. Moretti.” He said before he walked back to his table and started the class as if nothing happened.

I sighed in relief. I felt the cold sweat on my forehead!

“I felt the tension between the two of you! Is there something you want to share?” Chiara asked but I shook my head.

"Come on just tell me.."

I shook my head again.

"Not now." I whispered back. and just focused on taking down notes.

This is not the right time to tell her about it.

I’ll tell her, but not now..maybe after I discover about the whole truth on what is really going on, between my parents and Vladimir.

And oh, with Aldous and Valentin also.

But my mind is telling me, to let it go, that it is not a good idea. That somehow once I learned the truth, I won't really like it.

I wanted to pull the time already. I feel like this one and half hour of his class is the longest time in my life! I just really want to get out of the room! I feel like I am being suffocated by just staying in the same room with him!

I feel so uneasy..

So uncomfortable.

So when the bell rings! I picked up all the things and rushed out of the room even when I can hear Chiara calling my name.

She might be surprised that I left quickly without her, which is unusual because we usually go out of our class together and yet, here I am leaving her!

Well.. I will just explain to her later. I know she will understand. What's important now is for me to get away from that classroom and keep my distance from him!
