Chapter Nine - Chemistry

Note — This chapter will be in Jayden Bennett's POV

I was just in my cubicle trying to arrange my dissertations when I heard some sweet girls' voices. Turning around to know who the girls were, I could see my best friend, Vince, gaping at them as if he was under a spell. Looking at the girls, they were THE RESOLUTE with the newest tiro, Jemima.

"Hey bloke! What the heck are you gaping at?" I smacked his head, trying to keep my voice low so as not to disturb the peace of the library.

"Nothing at all." He lied but I stared daggers at him. If looks could kill, Vince would be dropped dead on the floor by now and blood gushing out nonstop.

He then succumbed. "Isn't that the newbie, Jemima...whatever? Goddamned!"

I just nodded, trying my best to decipher what he was driving at. He could never be straightforward in saying out things, he would always beat about the bush until you finally decode his message and then, words will be stucked in your mouth.

Vince then spurted out. "Isn't she beautiful? I've never seen such beauty before!" Oh no! I was so shocked hearing this rubbish from Vince's mouth. Everyone knows how much he's into girls, even the students and robots know, but I never knew it got to the point of him crushing on the newest tiro, a girl that just logged into the school newly and did her official introduction quite few hours ago. He looked so shameless right now.

Looking at the girl he's talking about, she looked innocently beautiful and pure. Her waist length ash blonde hair that was swaying towards the direction of the breeze, making her look upbeat. Her amethyst-colored eyes were beaming with gladness. Her skin was soft and luscious that untamed vampires would want to graze her skin with their canines. Her perfect beauty aura was equivalent to that of an aphrodisiac that would provoke the desires of men but I managed to stand my ground.

Mere looking at her, I felt the electrifying connection to be with her but I wasn't into girls and I'm not gay. Just that my feelings to be in a relationship or love again died quickly after my last heartbreak. Oh no! What's all these intertwined feelings that I'm having just at the sight of her? It was like as if a chemistry practical is taking place right now and a force was commanding me to go to her, it was like a magnetic one. Thank goodness that Vince pulled me out of my deep thoughts.

"Hey bloke! Seems like you're falling for her too?!" Vince said to me with a sarcastic tone. He knows that me being in a relationship with a girl would definitely be the very last item in my heart, that's why he keeps teasing me whenever a girl says 'hi' or 'hello' to me.

"Me?! Nah! She's just beautiful and that's all I can say." I lied to him while emitting my bubbly yet intimidating and regal aura to show the intensity of my negligence. "Such beauty are rare to find, especially seeing girls with ash blonde hair." I supported my comment and walked away.

The least that my best friend could do was just to nod his head in amazement and continue his work. If I were in his shoes, I would do same by shaking my head off and continue my work.

When I went away, I had no idea on what to do, whether to go to Jemima or just go back to the classroom. I decided to go to Jemima after much contemplations.
