The Devil's Duo

Chapter 4

The second class of the day went  by smoothly for Raya who breathed in relief when the shrill of a whistle that signified the end of the class startled her. She has tried as much as possible to ignore a hard not to notice Lukas as he tried all sorts of things to ask for her attention

“Hey Raya.” he had said it so low that the non vampires in the class couldn’t have heard it and Raya would have heard it louder than other bloodsuckers

“You can hear me right?” he asked again the same low voice he had previously employed, his back arched off the chair this tie and he frowned slightly at the sound of his chair shifting position

Raya sighed as the teacher paused the current spell he was reading out and explaining the functions, mainly just to stare at the back seats where she currently sat with the king’s son.

She sent him a look that was more of a glare and Lukas smiled feeing satisfied that he elicited a response from her finally so when the third class came up and the teacher that came in mentioned that this was only was for bloodsuckers and neutrals.

When he mentioned the word “neutral”

Every head in the class turned slightly giving unwanted attention to Raya and a prince whose expression seemed blank and indifferent to the eyes that seemed to stare deep into his soul

The silence in the room was deafening, and after a few seconds that felt more like an hour, he swallowed and a bead of seat started to form on his face

Raya seemed to take notice and she could a lost feel his discomfort in the air, she wondered only for a minute about him

The sounds of  feet dragging and murmurs fluttered in each person’s ear as the witches in the room jeered at them

“Do well to know as super naturals, dragging of feet is not a conduct that should be done” The teacher said over the noise

The class “ Ways of the Sun” started without a hitch but Raya knew just how much that wouldn’t last as the first instruction was for grouping. And that each group should be in pairs

Raya sighed sadly as she stood lone in the center of her mates whose hatred for her ran deep, she watched as the grouping began, it seemed as if the whole room mocked up as each choose their partners every now and then sending a smirk her way

She was still in the dark corner which she had carefully chosen when she heard the murmurs rise above a notch and even though she tried to block them out, the hairs on her body stood straight as one of the many sentences came clear and concise to her

“Just what is wrong with that prince? He is just so oblivious and needs to be oriented, why is he moving towards her now?” The voice had said and when Raya finally looked up, she could not look further, there he was ,walking towards her with his usual smile. When he stopped in front of her, he spoke

“Hey seat partner, wanna be my partner for this class?” he said offering a hand towards her but this time, the murmurs weren’t just murmurs

They talked loudly and didn’t care if she heard them or not

“This is so disgusting to watch, the wolf talking to someone even if it’s a prince, it is still disgusting”

“Don’t you think this is better? This way, the king will have her executed ,at least now he will have a reason, something he probably didn’t have before” another voice said but Lukas sighed loudly that they all went dead and stared at him wondering what he was going to say

There was silence but it didn’t last for long as he did finally speak but it was still directed at Raya who was still leaving his hand hanging in the air

“Raya, what do you say? The teacher will send us out if we don’t have partners and we are the only ones left”

Raya smiled  looking at the offered hand but it was a cold one and even Lukas could feel it .

“It would be best for us both if you could just stop bothering me” she replied

Lukas didn’t seem so surprised anymore, almost like he was expecting it but by now, every eyes in the room was glaring at them

“Raya..-“he was going to say but was interrupted by the teacher’s voice calling out to him

“Prince Lukas Grey” the teacher called out

Lukas sighed before replying, blowing breath down his collar as he shifted his footing to face the voice that called him then replied

“Its Lukas Grey or just Grey”

The teacher fixed his glasses that seemed to fall off then tried again looking straight at the blue eyed boy

“You will be my partner for the class so please come up here, and anyone without a partner can always practice alone” the teacher said staring at Raya as he ended his statement

Lukas sighed and turned to walk up to the teacher but before he went, too far, he stopped and spoke

“Its all right, Raya. Just wait for me. I will be right there”

Everyone one heard it all right but no one reacted, the teacher however cleared his throat

“For this class, you need to listen carefully cause this can only be taught once”
