YOUNGER VERSION
JAMES P.O.V
After break we returned to the class, Sophia was already seated, there was something about her that intrudes me, she gave me that stare, the feeling I had when I saw Nora, it was just like a shorter and younger version of her, they emitted the same Aura, cool and chilling and at the same time dangerous, I returned to my seat,
"You are staring at her again" Jake said
"No I'm not" I shrugged
"Rumour has it that she is dating some guy, who is said to be a scholar" he said
"His pictures are on the platform" he added, then I remembered Andrew was not on the group, Babe explained his situation to me
"And rumours again has it that he has no background, because some student tried to investigate his background but found nothing, he is kind of secretive" he added jolting me back
" Okay, class please settl..." I'm sure he was scared to death by Sophia's death gaze on him, he quietly turn to the board, for a while I was wondering which scholar student would be dating her she is more like a she – devil, beautiful, sexy and hot as well, Jake also told me she barely talks with anyone except the guy and for the fact that it didn't bother her after seeing it on the platform, cause Jake said all other dating rumours don't last long than a few days because she can, she disciplines them in her way, some are either expelled, transferred or even beaten, I was utterly shocked as to she fell for a scholar student, you seriously don't know how shocked I am.
The class soon ended and we were now having a general class which was history we, I learnt we would be using a hall, I guess almost everybody was studying history, I mean the course is somewhat complicated, everyone rushed to the hall actually except us while walking I spotted Andrew with his friends , they were 5, 2-2 while a girl clung to Andrew like they were dating, though he didn't see us as he walked calmly into the hall taking a seat in the middle row, as I walked I felt cold pass as Sophia walked by me walking into the hall, this time instinctively we all rushed, I walked until I found an empty seat next the girl I saw with Andrew, Sophia was seated next to Andrew while the rest, a boy and a girl, a boy and a girl, Andrew didn't know I was seating a seat for him as he was focused on the teacher who hasn't started and Sophia, was he intimidated by her, I guess he should sit with familiar people but there is no way I would tell Sophia to switch seats with me,
"Aren't you Andrew's brother, the one he want to surprise us with" she whispered in my ear
"Yes, I guess" I replied
"Don't worry about Andrew, he is safer with Sophia than anyone of us" she said
"By the way my name is Rose" she said, we talked for a while, I noticed Andrew and Sophia discussing something and for the first time she seem more focused on Andrew not on the lecture, in other classes, she just stared at both the teachers and board but she was focused on Andrew, Rose was interesting to talk to, but couldn't help but steal glances from the two people who seem to be in their own world, though Sophia wasn't smiling but her but she had tenderness in her face she stared at him like he was the only thing in the room, I was utterly speechless, soon Andrew placed his head on her shoulder as if it was the most normal thing and Sophia didn't seem bothered, she just allowed him then my gaze fell on Jimmy who also seem to like Sophia, he had been following her since I saw him, she even slapped him just because he touched her finger, and here my brother placed his head on her shoulder, I must say my brother is really something else, Rose and I exchanged numbers, after some hours the class was coming to an end and Andrew was already asleep on her shoulder, soon a guy walked over to them I saw him with Andrew Rose told me he was Mike the oldest among them,
"I'll take him to class so he can rest" he said and Sophia she gave these "you better do" stare and he gave her an assuring nod as he assisted Andrew, for a while I wondered was he always treated as a baby, Sophia pampered him, his friends treat him like family, as he lead him out of the hall, he began walking on his own I guess he was awake already, he said something to the guy who in return turn in my direction giving me a slight nod, Sophia walked away, I decided to walk Rose to her class, we talked on the way, since we were having a practical class together, I walked into the class with 27 seats in total, with 4 empty seat, I noticed this was class A, and B was at the other side, I spotted Sophia sitting, since the other seat was empty,
"Please, can I seat next to you" I asked she turned about to speak when her face suddenly turned extremely cold, I followed her gaze and found Andrew and Rose charting and smiling with each other, she stood up and walked towards them and immediately Rose saw her she immediately started packing her books as she stood up from the seat next to Andrew and Sophia without saying anything sat down, Rose with trembling hand walked towards where I was, I guess this was not the first time it was happening, she packed Sophia's things and delivered it to her, then we both sat, soon the teacher walked in she look at both Sophia and Andrew seat, she noticed the change in seating arrangement but didn't say anything she informed us there would be practical, she said there should be six student in each group and it is based on your campsite arrangement, but for some group there would be some changes, she showcase the changes on the board I was to be in group A, which included Mike, Sam, Ella, Danny, Andrew, Sophia and Rose, I was happy,
"Each group are to sub – divide into two for easy progress, then the teacher walked out
"I guess you would be my partner" Rose said
"What about the rest" I asked
"They are already each others partners" she replied
"Okay" I said as her phone beeped, she read the message before replying
"so, I guess I should add you to our mini group" she said she handed me her phone, I input my number and she added me, because immediately my phone beeped as numerous chat popped on my screen,
"Thanks" I said and for a while we just smiled at each other
"Emm" someone cleared their throat I turned only to find Jake, annoyed I playfully punched him as he gave me a teasing smile
"Okay, bye" I said allowing Jake drag me out of the class
