Chapter Ten

Ruzzel's POV

Two weeks have been passed by. The bet was over and I lost. Aliyah didn’t become my girlfriend but it's alright.

After losing the bet, I just realized that money isn’t important. I am much thankful because little by little. I am gaining Aliyah’s trust.

By the way, we have improvements. She often hurts me though I’m still teasing her. I am a little bit addicted to her presence.

If I am falling already?

Maybe.

I don’t know.

One thing I am sure of right now is that I always wanna see her.

I was walking down the hallway when suddenly, I bumped into somebody. He was running fast and I am out of focus reason why we collided.

"I'm sorry bro. I need to chase a class, I am in a hurry.” He apologized then ran again.

Aliyah's POV

"DO YOU KNOW THE CUBE ROOT OF 1000?" our professor asked.

"It's ten ma'am." one of my classmates answered.

"Sit down. Next. Sanchez, do you know the cube root of 1000?" our prof asked again.

"Ahem .. ten"

"Sit down. Santoros, do you know the cube root of 1000?"

"It's 10."

"Your wrong"

"What? How?"

"I said you are wrong. So sit down."

"Wait Ma’am ... wait! Is that question relevant to our subject? Duh .... As in DUH! You are supposed to teach right conduct and good manners, not math problems.” that’s one of my girl classmates.

I just rolled my eyes. They are ruining their days so nonetheless, do not interfere. What a chaotic room is full of chaotic people.

"Enough for that! Now, it's your turn, Ms. Nicolas."

So now I am the one being asked by the professor.

"Now, do you know the cube root of 1000?"

"YES," I answered her plain and simple.

"Okay sit down."

Madam Professor smiled. My expression remains blank and bored.

"Out of 25 students inside this room, only Aliyah says the right answer."

"How come?" -classmate 1

"Well, I only ask all of you if you know the cube root of 1000. I didn't ask if what is the answer to it."

"Ahhhhhhhh ... I don't get it!” -classmate 2

"That is one thing guys I want you to learn. Not just you think something is easy, you will be proud and easily jump to a conclusion. Sometimes, we have to remain simple as we can so that we can't commit any mistakes and have the simplest answer to our problems. That's all. "

When our class was over, I immediately left the room.

I was about to went out of the building but suddenly ----

O_O

I don't know if I'm just having a nightmare or what ... but I am seeing Lewis as of the moment!

WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!?

HE IS STUDYING AT THE OTHER UNIVERSITY RIGHT?!?! NO, NOT HERE!
