I STARE at my phone, the light emitting casted a pale gleam in the horror-infected night. I blinked once, and then once more. I hadn't come to terms with the jumble of letters before me just yet. How did he get my number? I tried to think of any possible explanation for this unusual phenomenon, when it had come to me.

FLASHBACK

I had left to find the criminology book for our joint project, while Kaiser was slouched in his chair, paying absolutely no attention to the assignment whatsoever. He looked around bored, tapping his fingers on the table, when his eyes caught a certain light from his peripheral vision. My phone light, to be exact.

I made the grave mistake of leaving my phone unlocked. He smiled mischievously at the situation and inched his nimble fingers towards the device. He opened the phone app and typed his digits into my phone. He then sent himself a text message, just to be sure, and deleted it after, leaving absolutely no trace of the dirty deed.

He made sure to copy my phone number into his phone too, for communication perhaps? Maybe to torment me too, I had no idea. He put my phone into its previous position, making sure it was at the perfect angle so I couldn't tell it had been messed with.

For extra precaution, our beloved womaniser decided to work his charm and chat up a few girls sitting next to us. To say he was a mastermind was an understatement. A mastermind, enough to fool me.

I walked back to him, angered at the fact that he would rather indulge in his manwhore activities than get a good grade in our assignment. If only I knew that this wasn't even half of the torture he would put me through.

I decided to put my phone down as the clock struck one. I elicited an animalistic yawn as I snuggled into the covers more, my face pressed into my pillow. I wasn't bothered much by the time of the messages since my first class was at 11am. The perks of being a university student.

10:45 AM

The daylight peaked through my almost blackout curtains, casting a glow on my morning face. I opened my (e/c) eyes, immediately being welcomed with a blinding radiance shooting into my eye. I groaned and sat up, staring at myself in the body mirror opposite my bed. My eyes scanned my tousled hair and drooling chin. I groggily grabbed my phone to look at the time.

I had sworn my eyes completely bulged out of its sockets when my phone revealed that I had 15 minutes until my first class and I hadn't even brushed my teeth. I hated being rushed in the morning.

I quickly got my clothing together before rushing into the bathroom and freshened myself up. I ran out the house and sprinted towards school. I looked like a moving object on the street with the speed I was running at. I had finally stopped in front the gates, panting like a starved dog and held my knees to catch air.

A few people stared at my figure bent in the middle of the entrance, most of them giving me pitiful looks as if I were a child. I had finally arrived at my biology class at 11:01, not bad. I walked into the lecture hall with my bag on one shoulder, scanning the perimeter for my friends, when I spotted Akari talking to 4 boys.

These three boys were Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri and Kunigami. Famously known at our university for their gorgeous looks and dashing personality. They were also our friend group. You probably thought Akari was my only friend, right? Well, you thought wrong. As much as I was against socialising, I had managed to warm up to the egoist four.

I managed to locate the empty seat they had saved for me and began conversing with the group, when I heard that agitating voice I had become oh so familiar with.

"Nice to know you're in my biology class too." The six of us turned around to see the blonde and blue haired German, standing before us with a smirk that dripped arrogance. He stared directly at me, the eye contact so intense I didn't think he was going to stop looking.

My friends turned to me with puzzled looks on their faces, obviously confused, yet eager to know my connection with said womaniser.

This was so awkward.

"How lovely it is to see you, Kaiser" I replied with faux hospitality in my voice, enlightening the group that I held a dislike for the guy.

"Kaiser, just leave her alone man." Isagi announced with an annoyed expression, although he talked to him as if they were friends. Were they? I didn't know.

"Yeah, whatever." He said with a scoff before walking to sit next to a magenta-haired boy, who looked way too kind to befriend such a person like Michael Kaiser.

I turned to look at him, and he does the same. His expression reverts back to the same arrogance as before, an attractive grin now present on his face.

This guy would really be, the death of me.
