Chapter 11: It Stays In Your Head
I didn't want to think about what I did, so I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
When I woke up in broad daylight, I wanted to think that everything was just a part of my wet dreams... but my wet panties said otherwise.
"Shit. I must have gone crazy," I said to myself as I shook my head in utter disappointment.
I stood up and did my morning routine. I attended the same classes and did my usual stuff when I went to the university. The only thing different for now is the emergency student council meeting conducted by Evangeline herself. "Did you list all of the things I said, Miller?" asked Evangeline in a serious tone as she gave me a deadly glare.
She was discussing the incoming freshmen week and everything we needed to accomplish for the big day, and I made sure to list all the things she planned, just so I could piss her off a little bit.
"Yes," I answered, the arrogant tone evident in my voice. "The creative department will handle the decorations, the marketing department will handle the promotions, and I, without any departmental assignment, will take care of creating the booths," I smirked and looked her in the eye. "I didn't forget anything, did I?"
Evangeline rolled her eyes, annoyed by how competent I was. This is the reason why she couldn't remove me as her secretary despite hating me that much.
"Meeting adjourned," said Evangeline in a cold tone, turning off the projector. "Miller, stay here."
Even though I wanted to argue, I didn't do it. I don't want to keep this conversation any longer.
I wanted to curse her in my head. I've told her multiple times that if she needs to give me new tasks, she should do it early. I hate working on things that weren't part of my schedule. Besides, I hate it when people mess up my plans.
"I won't give you another workload to finish. I just want to ask you something," Evangeline said, approaching me with a cold demeanor. She only stopped when we were a little distance from each other. "What's your relationship with Mason?"
"What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Her question caught me off-guard.
"I don't like repeating myself, Miller. Now, answer my question," Evangeline scoffed, looking me in the eye. "What's going on between the two of you?"
"Nothing," I answered without hesitation as I reciprocated her intimidating glare.
Evangeline raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
Do I look like I don't?
That is what I wanted to tell her, but I didn't. She had a grudge against me. It might bring me to a disadvantage to push her to her limits.
"Yeah." That was the safest answer.
"Okay." With her arms folded, she tapped her fingers on her arm, staring at me for a few seconds before retreating. She sat on the table and opened her laptop. "You may go."
I only nodded before heading to the cafeteria. I couldn't help but wonder... What was that all about?
THE COLLEGE of Engineering and Architecture is the most luxurious building in this university. It's even better than the College of Tourism building, which various organizations funded as it represents the Hotel and Restaurant Organization for the entire country.
The interior design is complex yet functional. The layout is intricate but highly convenient for students who might be running late-like me.
"Crap," I said, looking at my wristwatch. I was supposed to be on duty in the library today, but shit happens. "Why do the buildings need to be interconnected?"

I can't go to the library without walking past the Engineering building, and vice versa. So I did my best to ignore everyone in my way, but I was stopped by a guy blocking my path. It wasn't Ash or Mason.
It was Haze, the most playful guy in the group.
I couldn't help but check him out. His polo shirt was unbuttoned, and his straight hair was a mess. He even has kiss marks on his neck, making me raise an eyebrow.
"Done checking me out?" Haze asked, licking his lower lip. "Did you enjoy feasting on my body?"
"Were you just hit on the head?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
I tried to pass by his left side, but he immediately moved to block my way. When I attempted to go to his right, he blocked me again.
It was enough for me to lose my patience, especially with this trio. They always waste my time.
"Excuse me," I said, trying to be polite. I attempted to pass by him again, but he quickly shifted to block me once more. His smile grew wider as he saw my furrowed brows, which was entirely his fault. Haze's smirk widened. "What if I don't want to?"
"Then, what do you want?" I asked, glancing at my phone to check the time.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon. My library duty, damn it. I hoped to get three hours of duty in today to complete my required scholarship hours, but I had a class at four.

"Chill, lady." He grinned at me before laughing a bit, testing my patience. "I'm not interested in you, so don't worry."
He even stared at my chest with his cold expression as he said that, making me cross my arms over my chest to cover myself. What the fuck?
"I just don't understand why..." he trailed off, his gaze moving from my face down to my legs, "you didn't even meet the requirements... and that's fucked up." He shook his head slightly as if expressing his disappointment that I was standing before him.
His eyes locked into mine, sending shivers down my spine. "Why did he like you?"
I felt like I was pouring cold water upon hearing that question. I tried calming myself down, but it was hard to maintain my composure while being disrespected like this.
I never thought I would say this, but Evangeline being a typical spoiled brat bitch was much more tolerable than him. I may act cold and aloof, but having someone criticize my looks, the only thing I can be proud of because it's all I have, is deeply offensive.
I am so fucking offended.
"I ignored the fact that you are violating a significant amount of rules in this school, Mr. Greensmith. So, how dare you criticize me? You didn't even know me," I asked in a cold tone.
"Are you offended?" Haze raised an eyebrow and laughed sarcastically. "Well, I don't give a fuck. And I don't care about violating the rules either... Because compared to all of you, I am the one who has the power in this school and this country."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
His playful demeanor was suddenly gone as his gaze turned sharp. I tried to keep my composure, but his dark look sent shivers down my spine.
His look was terrifying, unlike the Haze I usually saw flirting around.
"Even the higher-ups here can't do anything about me... so you are thinking of reporting me or something, it's better if it stays in your head."
