Real love

Aria

As I got back to my dorms after the hectic day, I didn't know why my mind was only lingering, and going back to that specific moment when he touched me, I felt the heat in my body rising at that time, why? I don't know nor do I want to know, the only thing I knew was this was all a play and would be ending in 2 months so I need to get my mind straight and work on planning the fest

" Hey, Ar how was your day?" Sana asked as she came back into the room throwing her bag on the side table before plopping herself on her bed

"um- Not so bad...what about you?" I said awkwardly not knowing how to respond as I was feeling too guilty for not letting her know what exactly was going on,

"oh well it was fine but the heck I got a lot of assignments today, but as you know no matter how much time they give me I'll be cursing myself and doing it a day before submission" She chuckled getting out of her bed arranging her desk

"That's so us," I said remembering all the times we did that only to panic the night before and still manage to get top grades, not at all flexing!

As Sana was about to leave the room to do her laundry, she suddenly stopped and asked me, "Ar, I forgot to ask, how's your preparation for the festival going? Have you convinced him yet?" Her question made me laugh awkwardly as I replied, "Um, yeah, well, the professor talked him out of it, so he's helping now." Sana smiled and excused herself from the room.

I felt frustrated for lying to her because we never kept secrets. But few things can't be helped, I sighed thinking to myself

I woke up the next day to the sound of a notification on my phone, It was from a professor asking for the final theme and how the organization would be held, I groaned feeling frustrated as I had not even started the preparation and how am I supposed to answer him

I decided to be vague with my answer saying I am still working on it and will hand everything in my Friday but one thing forgot was that today was Wednesday which meant I only had 2 days to make my draft, which frustrated me more, without wasting time I messaged Ryan-

WHATEVER 😶

Hey meet me in an hour, in the library

With your laptop

Can't, have classes

As if I care, sir, I missed

My classes, for your damn meeting

library in an hour. Period.

Seen

"why is he so annoying, he better be on time or else he'll face dangerous consequences," I said to myself while reaching out for the towel before getting ready

*

No one

" oh well I am glad you are on time, or else you'd have to face some serious consequences," Aria said as Ryan took a seat in front of her

"what is it?" he asked in his usual tone ignoring her previous remark

"well you see I helped you, now it's your turn we have to make a draft and submit it by Friday," Aria said as Ryan furrowed his eyebrows

"but today is Wednesday"

"I know that"

"WE only have 2 days?!" He said almost losing his cold demeanour

" Oh well great to know that you are good at counting, will be very helpful," Aria said giving him a visibly fake smile, " only if instead of complaining about the situation we start working on it will be proven more helpful Mr. Overconfident"

"Don't call me that"

"whatever, let's divide the work," Aria saidopening her laptop and making Ryan sigh deeply

Oh well the contract is coming to an end but story hasn't even started between them yet
