My Immortal Boyfriend

Chapter 19

Aubrey’s POV:

As soon as I got to my condo I went straight to my bedroom and laid down.

James was acting unusual today. Maybe he’s just tired and stressed out that is why he was gone for days without letting anyone know.

Ahhh... I am so tired. I never liked going out anyway. I rolled over my sheets and grabbed my pillow and curled myself in bed.

Ahh yes, this is more like it. The comfort of home.

I was about to close my eyes when I heard something moved in my living room. I jumped from my bed to catch whoever it is was inside. I quickly opened my bedroom door and saw that nobody was there. But when I looked at my window, the wind was blowing in and my curtains were dancing with the wind. I am sure I closed that when I left and I have only been in my room as soon as I got home. I was confused and i looked all over the place of any other traces that indicates, someone was here.

I know someone was here just now. I am sure of it. I checked the kitchen and my bathroom but no one is here. Did I miss something? I went back to the window and looked to the sides and up and down. They couldn’t have entered or exited through here, its the 8th floor!

I decided to close my windows instead and locked it.

I am sure I heard someone earlier.

But maybe it really was just my imagination. I went back inside my room and changed my clothes. I prepared my things for class tomorrow. Its the first time I haven’t heard from Cass today. she usually knocks on my door as soon as she’s back shopping or whatever she feels like it. Or spam me with texts to go to her condo unit and hang-out. I noticed she really does not have any other friends besides me at school or even outside school premises.

I cannot wait for summer to come and enjoy that summer break I clearly deserve. I might ask Cass to come with me to my hometown if she doesn’t have any plans for the summer. But knowing her, I know shes got all the plans in the world ready for her... in short, she is fully booked for the summer.

Wow that somehow sounded funny in my head.

Night came and darkness soon enveloped half of the world. I laid myself on my comfortable bed and snuggled on my warm blanket. My AC was on full blast but I didn’t mind the cold. Funny how we turn on the AC to beat the heat and still end up covering underneath our comforter. I could never understand this logic.

I slowly closed my eyes when my phone buzzed. I received a text. I extended my arm to reach my side table and grabbed my phone. I peeped with one eye to see who left me a message and it was James.

Sorry we had to cut short our mini reunion. Will explain everything soon! Gnyt – James

I read the text. Now this makes me think what big secret he has that he is going to tell me that he cannot tell now, or through text. Is he perhaps on drugs? Or maybe, he became a drug dealer or even a drug lord! OMG!

I shook all those bad thoughts. I am sure he is not involved in anything illegal. He may seem like a bad boy but he is actually a kind person despite his ragged, handsome-ish look. Ugh rolled my eyes at myself. Fine, he is handsome! I am such a supportive best friend.

I typed a reply.

No biggie! Tell me whenever you are ready.

I yawned and stretched my arms. I placed back my phone on the bedside table and closed my eyes as I slowly drifted to sleep.

--

I woke up with severe back pain, stomach pain and uncomfortable feeling between my thighs. My eyes grew large. I’m having my period today and I completely forgot about that! I stood up and rushed to the bathroom to see.

Thank god I didn’t bleed on my sheets. I just changed it and it would really be a hassle if it did happen.

I prepared a nice warm bath and dipped myself on the bathtub. Today is going to be a long dreadful day. I am on my period and currently having dysmenorrhea and I have class with the professor I never really liked. She gave me a B+ on my work when she asked us to be paired and unfortunately no one wanted to be paired with me. How was that even my fault? She gave me that score because she said, ‘I was not following instructions’ ugh! Whatever, I just do not like this day.

After bathing I dressed and had a light breakfast before heading off to school. I need the strength to full function today.

I texted Cass if she’s still at her condo so we could walk together to school but she is not replying. She usually replies fast. This is kind of new. I checked the time and I will be late if I don’t leave now. I grabbed my bag and headed out the condo and went down to the lobby. I got to the classroom just in time. As usual, I sat at the end of the row. The room filled with gossip. I normally do not listen to them but this girl near me was talking like a megaphone that I could hear what she’s gossiping about.

‘’I heard the transfer student is Hot! A hot male, girls!’’ She said giggling.

‘’Dibs on him first!’’ the girl on her right said. I do not really know their names since I am not in a block sectioning. But they are familiar. They are Kristen’s friends. And dibs? seriously they think a person is a toy or a thing that they can have dibs on. And wait, a transfer student? This school just keeps accepting transferees mid school year! Not that I’m complaining.

‘’Looks like someone is eavesdropping!’’

‘’Don’t even dream about it, girl!’’

My attention was caught when I heard those. I did not realize I was staring at them. I averted my gaze and they just laughed at me.

‘’Loser!’’ one girl added before they continued with their gossiping, in a lower voice.

I put my bag beside the empty chair. No one sits beside me anyway. I sat comfortably and grabbed my book from my bag.

After a while, the professor arrived and a guy in an all black leather coat and jeans showed up behind the Prof. The black outfit really popped his white, porcelain skin color. It was like he was glittering.

‘’Alright class, we have our new transfer student, he will be with us for the rest of the semester. Please, Introduce yourself and choose a seat.’’

‘’The Name is Wane Carter.’’ He spoke and just like that the girls in the room started giggling and screaming.

‘’Girls please, quiet!’’ The prof said in a loud voice.

I realized who was in front of the whole class. It was Cassandra’s brother!

‘’Please take a sit, Mr Carter,’’ The prof spoke once again.

He nodded and scanned the room. Our eyes met and I quickly averted my gaze but it was too late. I could feel him walking towards me.

‘’Hi Wane! You can sit beside me,’’ The girl two rows in front of me offered him the empty seat but he didnt care. He continued to walk at the end of the row and finally stopped in front of my desk.

‘’Hi Aubrey. Can I sit beside you?’’ he greeted and asked.

I looked up and to my shock, some of our classmates were looking at me with displeased looks plastered on their faces. Some were shocked to hear that he knew me.

‘’Hi, Sure...’’ I shyly answered and removed my bag next to me. He sat and the class began. We were both quiet. I tried to listen to the lesson attentively but my mind seemed to be more interested with this man beside me. He makes me nervous! How is he in the same class as me? I mean, why is he even in school in the first place. He kind of looked like he has already finished his degree! Well, not that he looks old...

‘’Are you okay?’’ I heard him whisper it gave me Goosebumps. It was like it sent a surge of electricity through my body. I casually nodded so that the professor won't notice us talking. She is strict and hates students that do not listen to her class.

The class went on and we continued to sit beside each other in silence. Most of the time I cam feel someone staring at me but I tried not to mind it.

I just want this class to end and live peacefully. I am sure these girls that are continuously staring at me and him are planning something and I am not sticking around to find out. As soon as the prof said we are dismissed I hurriedly grabbed my bag and casually went out of the room but Wane kept up with me. He began to walk beside me as soon as I got out of the room. He followed me to the hallway.

''Are you lost? or do you need any help finding your next classroom?'' I spoke beside him because he was following me around without talking.

''No, I just want to hangout with you.'' he calmly spoke. I glanced at him and he was eyeing me straight. For a moment it seemed that my world stopped.

''Ughh...'' before I could utter another word I heard someone call out my name.

''Aubrey!'' I heard as I looked back and saw Cass walking towards me like she was in a fashion show. She gave me a quick smile and looked at her brother.

''Oh hello brother,'' she said but something in her tone somehow got to me like sh ewas speaking out of malice.

''Heloo Cassandra. Don't you have somewhere to be right now?'' He replied in a cold voice almost as if it sounded pissed. Don't they get along?

''Yes, I just stopped by to see my friend if she is still whole,'' she replied and smirked at her brother and it seemed like it pissed him off.

''Whole?'' I asked confused but she did not mind what I said.

''Hello Aubrey, let's meet in my condo tonight okay?'' she spoke anmd gave me a pat on my shoulder as she walked away from us wiht her 4 inch stilletos.

I was not able to utter a reply. And a few moments pass I could no longer see a shadow of Cassandra Cartel. I was not even able to ask her where she's gone these past few days. Well, maybe later... she did tell me to go to her apartment tonight.

''Hey,'' I heard Wane. It took me back to reality. I noticed eyes were on us. Cass was popular and now, her new transferee, hot, handsome brother is beside me and talking to me. not to mention my bestfriend, James, who is not here... is also popular. The only one isn't, is me. And now, more people... more like girls will hate me for gracing the prescence of these people and not them. Honestly, they are just a bunch of hypocrites and mostly jealous. Not that I am bragging!

''So, Are you going later?'' he asked. we continued to walk and talk.

''Yeah, sure why not.'' I answered.

''Alright, that is good.'' he said. he was about say something else when I checked the time. My eyes widened. I am supposed to submit my thesis! I need to hurry.

''Sorry, I got to go, do you know where your next class is supposed to be?'' I asked in a hurry. he somehow felt the urgency frrom my voice so he nodded.

''I guess I will just see you later.'' he said and waved goodbye. I ran like a lunatic to get to the next building, not to mention on the fourth floor to get to my professor in time. She is and old woman who is very strict on time. You definitely do not want to geet on her bad side!

Thank fully, after reaching the 4th floor of the faculty building, I saw Professor Shan just outside the door to their office, talking to a student who is almost in tears. She was probably reprimanding her. Poor soul. Oh shoot, she is in a bad mood and I do not want to approach her mad like this. The poor girl walked towards my direction and I saw Prof Shan's attention was now focused towards me. I approached her with a big smile on my face while hers were looking so grumpy.

Here we go! How I hate my boring college life! Life is supposed to be fun and exciting!
