1476 Words
Class finished for the day and everyone started scrambling home. hazel came out of the hall to the main compound already exhausted, luckily this was a university that had sections and since she enrolled for the afternoon section she still had a little bit of time for herself. hazel impatiently check the time, 3:36, she sighed, she still had twenty four minutes till four o clock. she could feel her head spinning, twenty four minutes to go to bed and have a short nap then prepare for work. "urgh" she grunted, already frustrated. "omg he's so cute" hazel swirled around and saw the new guy emerging, bevy of ladies already flocking around him, ladies squealed excited as he looked at them. even the not- so -straight-guys bit blushed when staring and the straight dudes, from the look on their faces you could tell they were either reconsidering their sexuality or just jealous, his looks alone can make you lose a girlfriend, his looks surpassed so many models and celebrities. hazel rolled her eyes in disgust. there was something about him that just doesn't seem right. " earth to hazel". hazel turned her head and found ginger in front of her grinning. " wipe that grin off your face, it doesn't suit you" hazel irritated voice pierced through. " oh come on, don't tell me you don't find him attractive" ginger said as she walked up to her, a basketball on her left hand. hazel took one good look at ginger. Her black hair short hair was tied in a ponytail, she wore a black turtleneck shirt as an inner wear while she wore a big red short hand shirt and a black baggy trousers to match, her brown eyes glowed under the sunlight, her nose pointed and straight, the freckles on her face made her look cute yet deadly, her red lips brightened as she licked them. sometimes she dressed and acted girly, but those times were few, but still can't deny the fact that she looked beautiful with her perfect model body. her breasts were small and round hardly showing beneath the clothes she wore, her flat curvy stomach were hidden also, and for butt, let's just say it's coming out fair, but she was kinda of curvy, won't lie about that one. hazel rolled her eyes at her friend stupidity. "and what made you think that?" hazel asked as she squinted her eyes at her friend. ginger shrugged. "maybe it was because of the fact that you wouldn't stop staring" " if you don't have anything better to do, you can escort me home" hazel said and began walking off. ginger sighed as she ran after her, " urgh wait for me" hazel walked away, unaware of the black ink eyes piercing gaze watching her movement like a predator would his prey. "hello Liam" a high pitched voice called out, but not high enough for Liam to divert his gaze. " what?" his cold voice biting like the winters wind. jasmine shivered. " I just wanted to introduce myself, since you're new I mean" Liam sighed as he watched hazel's back. jasmine traced his gaze and gritting her teeth as she noticed it was the lowlife hazel, her eyes blazed in disgust, especially when Liam wouldn't stop staring. " so as i was saying" she flunged her hair over her shoulders arrogantly. she stretched out her hand and said. " hi my name is jasmine grey, a twenty two years old second year student studying architecture, daughter of the grey family, my family founded this school" she boosted Liam gaze dropped to see her outstretched hand. his eyes darkened. " my name is Liam" he said his hands still deep sleeping in his pants pockets. jasmine forced a smile and stylishly dropped her hand, she wasn't blind to see the fact that he had no intention of shaking hands with her. "maybe his hands are dirty" jasmine thought trying to convince herself that, that was the only reason why a guy wouldn't want to shake hands with someone as attractive as herself. "umm, so Incase you need someone to show you around, I'm right here" Liam let out a small nod, even a blind man would see he wasn't interested in whatever she had to say. "oh and just Incase, you should have my number in....." Liam walked out, there was no need in listening to a conversation composed by a fool, his time was precious and wasting it on someone so unworthy was the last thing on his head. jasmine face immediately turned ugly, disappointment and embarrassment made her eyes water. "how dare he, who does he think he is" she thought,then a thought flashed in her head. "it must be because of that lowlife hazel, I saw the way he had her eyes on her the whole time, I know she must have done something to him, that shameless b*tch, by the time I'm done with her she would know that all the pretty boys belongs to me" and with that in mind she walked away to meet her wannabes whom were anxiously waiting for her. "so how did it go" one of them who was named Lisa something asked, well you wouldn't blame her, she wasn't going with names. hiding the mask of shame, she forced a smile and said. "he's totally into me" the girls squealed excitedly. "of course he's into you, your gorgeous" one of them said. jasmine smiled. "come on girls, let's go". Liam walked out of the school's gate, his face expressionless but his eyes searching, he sighed, she was already gone. he walked to a parking lot where a black mercury range Rover car was parked. A man suddenly emerged from the car, he was dressed in all black, his ink black hair was gelled backwards, he looked like some one in his early fourties, he looked really decent and you could tell he was a butler from the way he was dressed. "master Liam" he bowed in respect. "butler Benjamin" Liam said in recognition.. the Butler raised his head and swiftly opened the back seat for Liam. from the looks of it one could see he was really powerful. Liam walked in, his steps graceful and calculated, as though each step he took blessed the ground. butler Benjamin entered the car and started the engines. "master Liam how was school today?" the Butler asked after summoning enough courage to speak to this mighty man. a small smile animated on the corners of his mouth, but there and then it was gone like a flash. someone would dull eye sight wouldn't have noticed it, but it didn't go unnoticed by butler Benjamin sharp grey eyes. "it was good" he managed to answer after what seemed like an eternity to butler Benjamin. "that's good to hear young master" he said a little excitement in his voice. Liam eyes darkened slightly. " why the lack of decorum?" butler Benjamin immediately cleared his throat. "any news?" Liam asked as he took out a cigarette and a lighter from the cigarette box by the car door. liam held the cigarette between his beautiful slim fingers while other finger brought the lighter to the cigarette and lit it, his movements light and fast. " yes young master" he answered "spill" Liam ordered his voice cold as he puffed out smoke. " it's a message from your father " he said slowly his eyes watching as though waiting for Liam to react. Liam who was about to bring the cigarette to his lips paused midway. his eyes darkened as he let out a chilling aura. "what does he want?" Liam asked, his voice was unusually calm and it frightened the Butler. "he said you have two months to give him expected results or your... he paused midway. "or what?" Liam barked his patience wearing thin. "or your brother takes over" Liam suddenly became irritated. "he is not my brother" butler Benjamin immediately bowed his head in apology. "forgive me" Liam let out another puff of smoke before he commanded. "drive" butler Benjamin immediately rode out of the parking lot, he threw a glance at Liam, he appeared collectively calm and It frightened him. how can a human being be so scary and calm at the same time. well you never know, besides Liam was a demon in his own way. butler Benjamin glanced at him again. his face was expressionless and hard to read. Liam kept staring out the window, he appeared calm but deep inside his head was in a turmoil. "no way in hell was he letting his brother take the spotlight, this was the one chance." he thought as he blew out smoke. slowly he closed his eyes shutting everything and everyone around him as everything suddenly went black.
