Heartbeat

CHAPTER FIVE

Phew am back....and it's an update hehe.

EKEOMA POV

My face was full of smiles as I stared at the aesthetic building before me in awe,

"Wow! this place is beautiful"

I thought.

" Well this is the law faculty, beautiful right??, They are also many exciting things to show you in the college, if you like arts, Library and you know more beautiful sites then your in for a good sure babe".

I smiled at my new found friend, and... I don't think she has any other friends too either,

perfect this is what I needed, normal friend and a quiet life in uni...

"Yahh!! Stop there you piece of s**t!!

Ahhhhh"

We were interupted by shouting from students, and looked up to see a crowd already gathered around two girls fighting, though it seems like everyone kept their distance.

I quickly came closer to take a better look, what the hell...

That's NA BI !! the crazy Korean girl Fighting someone, no that's wrong she was beating the girl on the ground blue and black too

" Ah.. I wonder what Jenni did to piss Ashley off this bad, that she has to resort to violence.. ugh... I feel sorry for Jenni "

I turned to May, who doesn't even look surprised but rather is smirking at the fight between the two, no one was making effort to stop them either

" What's happening, why's no one intervening to stop them, is this not bullying "

" Ooh please, this is not high school, it's college they're both consenting adults... And who do you want to support and leave the other huh ...

Jennie's parents are bloody rich, won't be nice to get on her bad side, and Ashley..."

I quickly interupted her

" why do you keep calling her Ashley,

Isn't she supposed to be Korean"

"Yep definitely, Ashley is her American name, cuz her father is American and her mother is from Korean, she was born in Korea,

So yeah she has dual citizenship,

Her Korean name is NA BI "

" Ohh, ok"

" Yeah so like I was saying, Na Bi's dad is a business Tycoon, not just that,

He also has a huge influence on this School, so pissing her off will be a huge deal, that means you never get to live peacefully in this college..."

I scoffed at her

"Isn't that still bullying huh"

"Nope, Na Bi has standard, she doesn't just fight anyone, she rarely engage in fist fight unless she's too mad to contain it...

And she doesn't fight someone who can get into trouble for fighting with her, you know, someone who doesn't have a financial status as her, that is to say, she doesn't bully weak people"

I raised my head to meet her eyes, she was staring at me, I gulped and quickly shuffled out of the crowd dragging May with me

" Hey, what's happening "

" It's nothing, I.... I mean we still need to go to class, and you haven't showed me around right??"

She narrowed her eyes at me, but still went along.

I sighed deeply feeling uncomfortable

Am I supposed to be afraid because I accidentally pissed the queen bee off or be reliefed to hear that she doesn't fight the less privilaged scholarship students like me,

No matter how degrading that sounds I'll rather be among that stereotype of less privilaged than have an entitled brat on my tail...

"..Hey!!, are you even listening"

May's voice interupted me from my thoughts

"Ugh... What were you saying, sorry I zoned out for a bit "

" I asked how you knew Ashley's name wasn't Ashley in the first place, ugh... I mean you are not supposed to know anyone right??"

" Well that's because, ugh... It's not a Korean girl's name"

She nodded absent mindedly staring at something ahead, I looked up

" These two over there are her friends as well as her force shield, those two are practically like the three musketeers, they've been together since High school"

I looked up to see two boys at the balcony of the second floor of the building we were standing before,

They were looking down at the scene downstairs.

Great, this is Seb and Lucas, the rich looking guys I ran away from yesterday... What the hell, am I supposed to..

May's loud voice interupted me

" Like I was saying these three are the college royals, okay since am nice and a good friend, I'll give you a heads up first, to prevent future mistakes

No matter what happens, don't get on their bad side, they are not exactly bad people or anything, just don't step on their toes, especially Ashley, She has a bad temper and a really crazy mentality "

" So, ugh... Why the royals, I mean are they special people or something, and what do you mean by stepping on their toes"

She quickly turned and pointed at Na bi

"Na bi's family is not just rich but has an influence on the school too, she will probably takeover her father's biusness after school.

And the blonde, handsome guy over there is LUCAS, his parents own the tech in the school, he wants to be a computer scientist, and just for the record he's my crush.

And that blue eyed guy over there is Sebastian, he has a Russian accent a little, since he grew up there, I can't really tell you about his family, there are complicated and messed up,

But one thing is sure, they are afflicted with the MAFIA".

She whispered to me, coming closer

and continued, after looking around to make sure no one was listening.

"And another thing; his dad practically owns half of the school, which means they are in control however way you want to see it.

I raised my head to immediately catch Seb staring at me, with that blank expression, I wondered why he's always has that stare..

May immediately saw it and quickly waved at me

" Ooh don't mind Seb, nothing impresses him, he always has this blank expression like he's staring into your soul, but then he's not staring at you, he's just zoning out into space."

I kept my gaze on him, but he didn't stop staring either, May continued talking, but immediately turned to look at me, making me look away from him

" Wait, why does it looks like he's really staring at you"

" Ugh.. I don't think so, you are mistaken, he's probably just staring into space, right??"

She still looked unconvinced, but still tagged along with me to our class.

I breathed in before stepping into the class, I just have to avoid these people and live a peaceful life here.

I sat down at the front row, with expectations written all over my face,

We had psychology this morning; May informed me earlier.

I made a mental note to stay away from their paths.

We finished the class, and I really enjoyed it, psychology is one class I wouldn't miss for anything, for some reason, being able to deduce what someone was thinking and manipulate it was another thrill on it own, but that was before my salvation tho, now the knowledge is just for helping people get out of their toxic head sometimes.

The professor was nice, nothing compares to having a nice teacher teach something you want to hear.

I chuckled as I remembered her pearl white teeth as she smiled when I answered her question about the concept of depression, I rubbed the back of my neck, already feeling proud of myself for making a good impression on my teacher, maybe I won't have a difficult life here after all....

" Watch it "

A voice startled me, almost bumping into the figure, I looked up, only to be met by a pair of ocean blue eyes staring into my gray ones.

"What's happening" I thought trying to piece together what exactly am doing standing before Seb, the rich guy with a teeny bit of Russian accent.

Well for the record, I was just coming back from getting my student ID after having lunch with May.

Did I get too excited again because of my ID and psychology Class and miss my way again, I looked up to find the other two trooping in, with Na Bi hands on her Jacket pocket and a death stare. I looked around to see that I am inside a classroom.

Great, just fantastic V, your sense of direction has finally landed you into the devils cooking pot, I guess Kaleb was right about my shitty sense of direction.

" See I told you, the b***h was lying after all"

Na bi voice hands were already at my collar dragging me forward

" What!! cat got your tongue huh!!

explain why the f**k your here??"

I felt my anger brimming to the surface, what the hell is wrong with this white folk huh, what part of ___

I am not the guy they're looking for don't they understand.

" You've got the wrong guy okay, am totally innocent of your accusations, it's just coincidence that we probably met here again, but believe me when I say, this is a misunderstanding "

I explained to the crazy girl still holding my collar, trying hard to remain civil and contain my anger.

Her eyes widened as she looked at me in disbelieve

"Mwo!! I can't believe you're still lying even at this situation huh, what do f**k do you take me for___ you clearl...."

She was interupted by a male's voice.

" What's going on here"

We all turned to find the source of the voice, A white scrawny looking boy stood at the door of the classroom, he had curly hair and a huge scar on his left eyebrow.

Lucas seeming to recognize him immediately questioned

" Is she with you___ the black girl, is she your accomplice"

The guy shook is head no, looking curiously at me and Na bi a d spoke up.

" The boss said to apologize for not showing up yesterday as planned, something unavoidable cropped up"

Inwardly I breathed a sigh of relief. thank God, finally am I'v been vindicated.

I immediately turned to Na bi___ she should apologize for sure, I mean she assaulted me all these while with no clear evidence.

But I was met by her almost pale white face glaring at me__ seriously, the least she could do after assaulting me is apologize.

But I was not too surprised, cause I knew people like this, that will never admit their own wrong and mistakes,

I immediately grabbed her hand still holding my collar, snatching it away from my clothes.

" Isn't it obvious that all your accusations were false, the least you can do.. or should I say the least three of you can do is apologize"

This seemed to make her more angry as she immediately lashed out

" Wae!! Why should I apologize to you huh, it's not even certain that my assumption are not true, you could still be a rat sent to spy on us__ if not what are you always doing at the venue"

Okay now I am really getting mad, what the hell is her problem...

I quickly marched towards her, grabbing her by her jacket

"Listen to me, I don't know what you have against me, since I've been clearly vindicated, just know that I won't be pushed around by an entitled brat who can't accept the fact that she's wrong"

I watched her face contort in anger as I released her jacket, ready to leave the room.

" Who do f**k did you call an entitled brat huh..."

Okay she was fuming now, she is definitely ready to fight me now; it's not like I can't beat the s**t out of her of I wanted to, I guess it's not what I was looking forward to....

Our banter was interupted by that bone chilling voice.

I looked to find Seb, the guy I bumped into__ stand up and strolled towards us casually, his hands on his pocket.

His ocean blue eyes was staring right at me.

" That enough Na bi, she's the wrong person, we made a mistake"

At least someone admits they're actually wrong.

He turned to look directly in my eyes.

"You should watch your way, and where you find yourself, next time I don't gaurantee you will meet very nice people"

His eyes was blank almost distant,

I never thought it was possible to get lost in someone's eyes, cause I just did.

I swear I don't understand a single thing he just said, but I nodded anyway, trying to pry my eyes out of those ominous orbs.

Well I did and immediately scrambled out of the classroom, trying not to trip on the way, my once brimming anger already diminished into nothings.

Now let's focus on getting to my dorm, without missing my way again.
