Michael’s POV
We’re finally finished for the day. I wonder what happened to Raphael, I almost feel bad for making him look after that troublesome girl.
It’s evening already. We were supposed to meet up by the gate, I came here few minutes ago, where are they?
A few more minutes later I saw two figures approaching. As they got closer the bigger figure started waving, “Hey Michael, I’ll Introdu—
“Tch.” Ack! That just came out of my mouth. Gabriel stopped in the middle of his sentence after hearing my reaction. *Sigh* just who was I expecting?
“A-ahaha, did something bad happen?” Gabriel asked me with a try hard laugh. I did not pay attention to him. This guy already gained another girl in his second day, ah, since he got sick on the first day it took a day longer huh?
“Hey, aren’t you too rude? Are you really friends with this guy, Gabby?” She must be the fierce type, but what’s with ‘Gabby’? Does he wanna be called Gabby now?
“Liza, this... It’s alright.” Gabriel tried to appease her.
“No! He was looking at me like a p*****t,” Liza said pointing at me. Look, I didn’t even take a glance at you until you spoke. And a p*****t? Me!? You must be joking. I only have closer to no interest in you. I looked at her sternly as she stares at me with cutthroat eyes.
“Do you plan to take her home?” I asked Gab. This virgin bastard has already had a couple of dozen of girls and is yet to take any of them home. Surely, he still wouldn't. It is the easiest way to tell them to get away from each other already because it’s getting into my nerves.
Still, what in the world is taking that Raphael and Mallory so long? It’s been an hour already! A moment later after Liza left, two awaited figures finally showed up. I watched them as they walked closer, they’re both holding something, Raphael has a notebook and Mallory has... A bucket? What’s with that?
Raphael was pointing something out from the notebook to Mallory, then she nods at him while smiling. As Raphael saw us, he kept the notebook in his bag right away.
“Sorry guys, our prof took overtime.” Raphael explained.
“An hour...” I would have been mad if my professor took an hour for an overtime, but this guy is even gleaming. Did you have such a fun time with Mallory?
“Haha, for some reason the projector just wouldn’t work properly.” wow, he’s just laughing it off.
“Huh? What’s that?” Gab asked peeking inside the bucket Mallory is holding.
“Ah, that? It fell on me.” Raphael explained. I see, it fell on you... For whatever reason, it just started raining buckets and Mallory took the one that fell on you? Seriously, don’t you have a better explanation?
“What? What happened!?” Gabriel asked.
“Are you gonna keep talking?” The gates were closing on us, any longer and we would be locked in so I decided to end the small talk here and head back to the dorm.

We reached the dorm in just a few minutes. Walking Mallory back from campus at night was a lot easier than during the day. She didn’t wander around and just kept on glancing wherever, staying close to Raphael who was holding her arm. Still, did she claim that bucket as her belonging now? Why did she bring it here? And more importantly... why are these guys in my room?
“Ahahaha, I thought you were good at this?” Gabriel is laughing loudly again. Raphael and Mallory are playing something again. It doesn't seem like hockey, what is it this time?
“Ugh, how noisy...” I complained. “Can’t you guys do that in your room?” I’ve already been laying in the bed for a few hours trying to sleep with all their noise. I can’t take it anymore.
“Eyy, what a killjoy. Wait, I have a better idea!” What idea is better than mine?
“If you win against Mallory then we’ll all go to sleep, but if you lose, you have a favor to do for Mallory” Gabriel stated.
“Sure, why not? Just what game is it, I’ll play it and finally get my sleep” I proclaimed.
“Celcius to Fahrenheit conversion and vise versa!”
So the phone will show either an example of a Fahrenheit or a Celcius, then we are to convert it to it's opposite. Most wins out of ten questions. You call this a game? This is too easy... We proceeded to the game right away since I already knew the formulas. [C°= 5(F°-32)/9 and F°=C°(9/5)+32]
First up is; 32F°
That’s a zero without question. I answered the question right away that they were surprised.
Ting!
“Wow, you got a point before Mallory. Could it be that Michael is actually a super genius??” Gabriel exclaimed. Haha, a super genius is not too far off.
“No, that was just an easy question.” Raphael said. Well, that’s true, but you could've let him praise me a bit more, Raph.
Second example is; 12C°
Alright that’s twelve times nine which is one hundred eight then... Hey, wait! She has an answer already???
53.6
Ting!
Heck! She got ahead of me. Next.
30C°
Okay, it’s two hundred seventy divided by...???
86
Ting!
You’re kidding. She didn’t even take two seconds to solve! Next!
Ting!
Next!
Ting!
Next!!!
Ting!
What the hell!? Does she have a calculator for a brain? I heard Gabriel snickering at the side. If I lose this next one, I will have a favor to owe her.
The example is 0C°
That’s— Hey, what?
Ting!
What the? I knew the answer and was about to input it, but Mallory grabbed the phone before me, pulled it away then typed her answer.
“That’s cheating!” I yelled with one of my index fingers pointing at her, then Gabriel who was holding himself this whole time busted into laughter.
“What’s so funny?” I looked at him grimly. Gabriel laughed louder, and even Raphael was snickering. I looked at Mallory who just smiled at me. I glared at her, she blinked once and the smile on her face was gone. And only now do I realize what was so funny. It’s me... And my idiocy. It is late at night and I yelled at her for cheating when she couldn't even hear me.
*Sigh* I grabbed the phone from her and typed on the notes, “What is your favor?”
