No Strings Attached

We even have to sacrifice our first class just to avoid him. Thank goodness out teacher just let it pass because its our first time being late to her lecture. Through out the first half of my class, I wasn't able to focus. Mainly because I'm planning an escape route in case I ever see Yuzuru later in lunch.

"Ms. Athena, do you have any question?" Our professor called me.

"I'm sorry?" I jumped on my seat and everybody was staring at me. The teacher was specifically glaring at me. Did I space out that much? 

"It seems that you understand our lesson very well that you are in deep thoughts. Can you please answer the question in the next page?" She adjusted her glass with eyebrows raised up.

I immediately flipped the book and read the question. If this continues, I'm grades are going down. Real heard and real quick.

I stretched my arms when I heard the school bell rang, signaling lunch. I looked across the room and I met eyes with Daphgne. She looked so tired and was ready to go home any time. Chuckling at her, I stood up and arranged my stuff.

"Do you want to cut classes?" She nudged my sides, raising her eyebrows up and down. 

I quickly dismissed her idea. As much as I hate going to school right now, I can't have any bad records. Also, if my parents knew that I cut classes, they would go insane. The tuition here is so expensive! They are expecting me to do my part to be a good girl and study hard. 

Since I promised Daphgne that I will buy soy milk for her, we went to the nearest store around the campus. There are some that sells in the cafeteria but she somehow like the taste of the drink that sells in here. 

As soon as we bought the soy milk, we rushed to the cafeteria. At this rate, the tables would be all filled up soon. The place as we expected were full of people. Loud chattering and sounds of utensils were heard all over the lunch room.

I searched for an empty table or at least a small space we can eat to but I found nothing. We should've gotten here first before buying the soy milk. We are about to leave the place to find somewhere else to eat when all of a sudden Yuzuru came.

"Hey," He said, smiling like his mouth is about to be ripped off. 

I smell danger ahead. Gotta go. I turned my back at him and pulled Daphgne but his friends are at our backs like they already knew we would escape. So this is what having many friends looks like? They can always back you up and corner someone you want to piss off.

"It seems that there's no space left in here," He said.

"Stating the obvious," I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

"But fortunate for you, our table still has. Come sit with us," 

"No."

"But did I ask you?" He smirked before pulling me towards their table. I tried to escape from his grasp but he's too strong for me. He forcefully made me sit beside him and smiled. The people around the cafeteria suddenly put all of their attention at us.

They started to whisper and point secretly at us. I hate this. I really want to leave. I'd rather skip lunch than to eat with eyes murdering us.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you," Yuzuru said, leaning towards me.

"Nothing. I want to leave," I said while moving away from him.

He nodded his head before signalling something to his friends. Did he said yes? I looked at Daphgne and she raised her eyebrows at me. I picked up my bag and stood up but was put back to place.
