"That's a lot of confidence to place in a man, Cleopatra. Are you sure you're not deluding yourself?" Natalia chuckled, her amusement masking into mockery. The group, upon hearing her comment, instantly went silent, their curious eyes narrowing towards her. “Did she just—” a voice muttered followed by a surprise gasp lingering through the group.“Bloody hell is she seriously going head to head with Cleopatra?!” A voice whispered. The other student who couldn't provide a response only panned their curious eyes on the figures.It was just a rumor anymore that Mason was the reason for Natalia's shattered effort to befriend Cleopatra who had declined her friendship the moment their breakup made the school headlines.Cleopatra paused, holding her thought until a small, deliberate smile parted her lips. Even without asking she could sense the uncertainty between the couple. “I suppose you must know what deluding oneself feels like,” she muttered, narrowing her gaze at the figure standing
Ms.Sonia Suggestion
Curious eyes discreetly followed Ms. Sonia and Mason as they retreated from the crowd toward a quiet corner of the room. Once she was sure that no one else could hear their hushed conversation, Ms. Sonia turned to Mason with a weary sigh, her gaze lingering on him for a moment. “I don't know why you're late,” she began, glancing over her shoulder to ensure they were still alone. “We have a problem, and right now, you're the only one who can solve it," she added, her voice calm but serious.Mason, expecting a different kind of discussion, furrowed his brow in confusion. "A problem? What kind of problem?" he asked.Ms. Sonia's arms instinctively folded across her chest, her expression shifting to one of concern. "It involves Jacob Higgs,” she said quietly, prompting Mason to glance toward the direction of the curious spectators. His gaze settled on Jacob Higgs, who was watching them intently, a hint of suspicion flickering in his eyes. Mason's face faded, his features expressionless.“
Arriving Late
Muffled murmurs reverberated through the wall, drawing attention to the closed double doors. As they approached, the whispers grew louder, transforming into frantic screams. Behind the doors, Ariel, being the first to reach the scene, quietly peeps in. Mason reached past her shoulder and nudged the door open. They were immediately greeted by a wave of cheering voices that washed over the auditorium. The room was packed with spectators, and based on the density and energy, he estimated more than a thousand people were watching the competition unfold.The splashes on the water distracted him, drawing his gaze to the pool, where each stroke taken by the swimmers was met with loud cheers from the crowd. Mason shifted his focus to the boy leading the race; unlike his competitors, who were lagging, he was swift and confident. It was almost as if there was a grin on the boy's face every time his head slipped beneath the water's surface.‘He is good,’ Mason muttered, furrowing his brow as
Let's Go
Mason sprinted as fast as he could, retracing his steps back to the entrance of the building. Outside the engineering faculty, a small group of students lingered around a spot usually occupied by faded benches. It was the same spot he had left Ariel. More students, their faces masked with curiosity, gradually joined the crowd, hoping to get a glimpse of the scene.“Ariel!” Mason called out, but the murmurs and chatter from the other students drowned out his voice. Without hesitation, he pushed his way through the throng, most students instinctively pulling out their phones to record the unfolding scene.“I can't believe the president's daughter is here,” he overheard someone say as he brushed past a few students, who cast wary glances in his direction.“She’s so pretty,” a feminine voice whispered admiringly, prompting Mason to quicken his pace. He knew Ariel could easily attract attention, but he didn't expect the Aleric student would be here before the vice chairman.When he finally
Who's She?
Mason remained silent, his demeanor composed yet distant as he walked past clusters of students who were minding their business. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed behind him, and Ariel, whose face was etched with confusion, only deepened when Mason didn't stop to glance at her.Several thoughts ran through her head, and she was unable to predict Mason's next move. She paced forward, blocking his path. “What are you going to do?” she asked anxiously as she fought to steady her breathing.They hadn’t gone far from his car, and the fact that Arial, with a figure other girls would kill for, seemed unusually tired for such a distance.'It could be the hangover,' he thought. When he noticed Ariel was still blocking his path, he furrowed his brow. “Here, drink that,” he replied, passing her a bottle of water.When she felt her throat running dry, she heaved a sigh and took the water, gulping down half the bottle. “Thanks,” Ariel called from behind, and Mason grunted in response, narrowi
Things You Hate
The Williams Mansion faded into the background, leaving them to a ride suffocating with an awkward silence. [Good morning, Aleric City!] The masculine voice yelled, assisted by the mundane music playing in the background of the podcast. Apart from the reeving sound of their car engine breaking the silence, neither Mason nor Ariel exchanged a single glance or spoke a word. Even when she pretended to be on her phone, he could tell she was going in a circle when she didn't scroll past the same page of the article she was reading.“Do you mind if I put something else?" Ariel finally asked, narrowing her gaze. From the corner of his eyes he notices she would rather stare at the control panel than face him directly.He nodded, returning his eyes to the road. Ariel ran her fingers through the smart surface, switching the channel. When she couldn't find anything that caught her interest, she let out a sigh and returned to the original podcast they were listening to.‘It’s better I just get
