Chapter 68: Confession gone right
Lucian washed his face and hair, then wiping them off with his handkerchief, he just randomly tousled his hair around which still looked much better than before.
After which he folded his sleeves and adjusted his clothes in such a way that they wouldn't look too weird, then he looked back at himself in the mirror.
" Hmmm, this looks much better. " He mumbled and walked out of the washroom.
Lucian wondered why no one found it strange that his appearance had completely changed, though he didn't think too much about it as he made his way towards the terrace.
Sana was already aware of Lucian's feelings, in fact, the whole school knew about it even the students who didn't know who Lucian or Sana are, knew that someone named Lucian likes a girl named Sana all thanks to the excellent advertisement done by Parvinder Singh, he could never hold anything inside.
' Hmm It feels like aside from my mind working much more efficiently than before, even my senses had heightened quite a bit. '
He thought as he climbed the stairs, just mid way and Lucian could already hear the voices of a few boys from the terrace who were waiting there ready to record everything in their mobiles.
Pushing the door open, Lucian arrived on the terrace as the blinding sunlight hit his face, there he saw her, Sana.
She was standing near the boundary looking down and she was standing there with her back facing Lucian, she released a long sigh as if she was bored of waiting.
" O- Oh, you actually came? I thought you wouldn't e- even come. " Lucian spoke, his voice sounded nervous and he was constantly stuttering, just from this several muffled laughing sounds could be heard from around.
"..."
Sana stood there silently, as Lucian continued to confess his feelings: " I am L- Lucian, we are in the same class you probably don't k- know me, but ever sinte- no since COUGH "
Lucian seemed panicked and he was having trouble even forming words, clearing his throat he spoke.
" Ever since I was transferred to t- this school, from the moment I first s- saw you I have liked you. W- Will you be my g- girlfriend? Hooo " He finally ended his sentence and released a nervous sigh.
" Heh, did you actually believe that someone like you could have a chan- " With her arms crossed, Sana finally turned around. There was smirk on her face as she spoke in a disdainful voice, but she was interrupted by Lucian.
" Wait, Sana? What are you doing here? Sorry, I misunderstood you for someone else or wait, were you the one to receive that letter?
Sigh, I had told Perv so many times that there is just no way I could like someone like you but it seems he thinks my taste is so crappy that I would settle for just anyone, please forget what you just heard. "
After saying that, Lucian put both his hands in his pockets turned around and began to walk away.
"..."
Sana was still standing there with her mouth wide open, she had just received two shocks first from his rude words and secondly, he looked kinda...
' Wait, is that really him? But just this morning he looked like a geek and he even stays with those dweeb friends of his, but did I just get rejected? '
By the time she got over her shock, Lucian had already disappeared from her vision she wanted to chase after him since she was feeling quite angry and had a few questions to ask.
' He just said he could never like someone like me? SOMEONE LIKE ME? What is wrong with me? Then who is it that he likes? That jerk, how dare he speak all that to me. '
Just as Sana was about to walk down the stairs, all the boys and girls that were recording the entire scene finally came out of their hiding places.
Even they were all surprised by what just happened, though before they could say anything Sana ran away from there in embarrassment.
***
Lucian was walking back to his class, all the students passing by him were looking at him strangely especially girls, they didn't know someone like that was a student of the same school as them.
' There is one thing I'm still confused about, even if the Chasms on this Earth haven't developed much by this time but why don't I remember any kind of news from my past life about any kind of strange occurrences? It feels like Zero is hiding something, guess I'll have to wait for the answers. '
Lucian thought, and since Zero is asleep so it wouldn't be possible for him to find and enter a Chasm right now.
As Lucian walked into the class he saw that Eric was still present over his seat, Parvinder was probably busy helping that pregnant woman so he hadn't returned yet and all of the bullies were also outside of the class.
Even though the whole school was pure chaos but the bullies of the school worked quite systematically, at the top of the chain there was one top dog, who was rich and had an influential family, he was called by the name Godfather.
Then the Godfather had his right hand, who was quite a good fighter and was a member of a gang, after which each class had one leader who directly reported to the right hand of Godfather, and many other bullies worked under these class leaders.
' It's been so long since I last saw Mason, I wonder how I should break him this time. ' Lucian thought as he sat down on his seat, Mason was the bully leader of his class.
" You are back, so how did it go? Did she slap you or throw water at your face, hmmm still it's better since no one else saw that, wait- why did you remove your glasses and even your hair look- "
Eric spoke as he saw that Lucian had removed all the things that he used degrade his appearance to keep the bullies away.
" I didn't confess to her, and it would be fine. " Lucian replied with a smile as he sat back on his seat relaxedly, he felt quite great to be able to have Eric around again.
"..." Eric just shrugged his shoulder and then continued to look at his mobile.
Soon the lunch break ended, and Parvinder came back just in time. He felt bad since the school guard didn't allow him to leave even though he told the guard about the poor pregnant woman.
As all the students began to walk back into the class, their math teacher whose ears were a little too big entered. Because of those large ears he was given the nick name Monk, he was in his forties and knew math as much as his students did.
Monk walked into the class and placed his notes copy on the table, then he looked around and saw that some students were yet to return so he sat down on his chair and just began to watch reels.
' Before I go into a Chasm I guess I'll deal with a few things here, I wonder where I should start- '
*BANG*
