"So here comes Jacob, who's next? Also, I don't see you taking any revenge on the Deroz family?" Doctor questioned Clazer.

"Initially, I thought I will destroy their business by intervening and ruining it, but now I that I had Sirania with me, I was waiting for the perfect moment, but then I realized that Mrs. Deroz never stays in England, so shifting to London was useless. She was in California, but I was not going to return until I will gather all the evidence."

POV: CLAZER NARRATING THE PAST

The last paper was on 18th October 2021

It wasn't long after the exams ended, but the examiners were ready with results and the second session was to begin after a break of five days. The results were quite a shock.

Sirania managed to catch up to me earlier that morning as soon as I got out of the car. She began complaining about many things.

We were a typical couple after all. But I was determined that it was all fake for me, but I couldn't resist my feelings for her.

"College is going to publish results today! I am really scared, baby, thinking about the results, also,  I didn't spend the holidays with you." Sirania said in a super sad tone, well all I see was her 'n' reasons to hug me because every time she complains, she tugs at my arm some more, leaning more and more on me.

"It's just a mid-term test, nothing to do with grades through."

Unexpectedly, Cristina walked from behind and began her foolish talk again.

"Oh my god, Mr. and Mrs. Oath together early in the morning. That's a pleasant surprise, Oh Sirania, you look a little bigger over the pelvis. Good news, I guess..."

"Cristina, what are you saying?" Sirania yelled at her and blushed, her ears turned red. My cute panda dog was back.

"Hello Cristina, nice to meet you officially, we never had a chance to communicate until now "

"Same here, Hope you get along with my sister well "

"Results are going to be announced today, you know that right?" I was trying to change the topic.

"I know...and it's fucking depressing because I had to give re paper in holidays because of my ill health during the exam session. "

"Glad to know you are fine, "

"I will go and grab the best desk for myself, see you guys later!"

Cristina walked away.

"Sorry on her behalf, she always speaks ridiculous shit without thinking," she said.

"Yeah totally fine...panda, see you after the results," I said giving her a forehead kiss.

"Ok...!" Sirania said, her voice lowered by a few octaves, she was trying to check how I would react.

"You want more?"

"No! I didn't mean that at all." She shook her head side by side vigorously.

"See you later...Clazer."

She ran away. My cute panda dog. Sometimes I feel if it wasn't for my revenge, I would love her the most.

I found Jacob and we went to our class together. We were friends now.

Results were going to be declared at lunchtime...

Out of all 100 students,

Sirania, who ranked 17 last time, is now on 19.

Cristina, who ranked 21 last time, is now on 14.

Jacob, who ranked 7 last time, is now 2nd runner-up.

POV: Narrator

"Sirania, your rank decreased by two this time. You need to increase your focus." Cristina advised Sirania.

"Yeah, Cristina...stop being a mom now. Hey! Who is 1st ranker this time? And Clazer? What about him?" She said with burgeoning excitement.

"It's someone from section B I guess. Not your class this time. About Clazer... no idea at all!"

" Let's check it out then."

Both walked outside to the department notice board and looked for the rankers.

3 RANK JACOB SMITH 679 MARKS
2 RANK AMBER DIDDY 687 marks
1 RANK CLAZER OATH 688 MARKS

Both Sirania and Cristina were shocked.

"Hey Cristina, my boyfriend is really smart, don't you think? He topped on his first exam itself, without even attending all the classes!" Sirania said in a completely shocked tone.

"That was out of nowhere. I never thought an American will top in England college's exam." Cristina said, she was shocked as well, her pitch higher than Sirania's. They clicked a photograph of the notice and forwarded it to endless WhatsApp groups.

"Let's Congratulate him!" Sirania said once they were done.

...................

POV: Clazer Oath

Maybe they saw the results, Sirania walked towards my class, she wasn't so surprised to see everyone surrounding and congratulating me this time.

Suddenly the homeroom lecturer walked in, stepped close to me, held my hand, and then lifted it in the air like I won a WWE match.

"I never saw anyone from my class to the top on the campus. Thank you Clazer Oath!" she cried out loud.

"Welcome ma'am, it's all because of your teaching," I replied formally.

"Everyone cheer for him!" the teacher ordered all.

I noticed Sirania standing near the door, and I managed to escape the crowd. I gripped Sirania's hand and took her to the terrace. Cristina followed us.

Can someone tell her we need space?

"Oh my God! I have never seen so many people around me, for a minute there I thought that I will not be able to breathe anymore." I complained.

I was more focused on the stairs than on Sirania. I never realized I was dragging her so fast and hard that she couldn't maintain her balance, but she silently bearer the pain without complaining about it while each step was giving her pain.

Why was she willing to bear the pain without any ifs or buts?

"Congrats Clazer! I want a party!" Cristina said loudly from behind.

"Congratulations..." Sirania said in a soft voice trying to hide her pain as Cristina watched her suffer.

Why wasn't she pointing out that I was hurting her?

"What's so big deal in topping in an exam? I usually do that since childhood." I replied with a tone that clarified that it wasn't a big deal for me.

Hurting Siraina gave me a glimpse of satisfaction I had been seeking for a long, so I pulled her as harshly as I can around the turning of stairs.

"I worked hard since childhood, but never got rank in top 10..." Cristina said, her mood not so happy anymore. She was still chasing us.

Why can't she leave us alone?

"Ok! let's celebrate today at HEARTPOOL STREET CAFE, It's been a month now since I didn't visit there." I stopped in the middle of the stairs.

Suddenly I did not want to see her in pain anymore. She didn't say anything, why? She was already hurt too much by the time I loosened my grip over her hands, she looked at me with her eyes filled with tears.

She should stop loving me, I am taking revenge here.

Before I could stop myself, I hugged her tightly. I whispered slowly.

"I love you."

She held me back, tight as a baby holds her mother, her sobs were muffled against my chest so I couldn't hear her.

I love her.

"Gross! Just stop this hug " Cristina said.

We separated, I can't take this revenge,

"Okay so, we will meet there?" I asked Cristina when my eyes fell on her.

"At 5 o'clock. I will inform Jacob too."

To be continued...........
