Chapter 5: Two Extra Female Leads

"Yeah no problem, but I think you should make some new friends too." Demetri tells her while taking his laptop out.

"What? New friends?" Anna was confused, she thought that since they've always been together, she didn't think she needs extra friends, but she could try making some acquaintances since it's college.

She replied, "Are you trying to say you won't be around me that much anymore?"

"If I'm busy, I won't be able to spend much time with you. But I've been worried, and if you make new friends who can walk you home, it'll give me peace of mind knowing you're safe." Demetri says.

Anna listened to him, feeling a sense of relief that he's concerned about her. She smiled, understanding his concerns but didn't reply, instead she thought, "I'll make new friends if I feel like it".

"Alright, I'll make new friends then," Anna said with her cute smile.

She added, "But don't disappear all of the time, okay?"

"Yes, yes." Demetri said non chalantly. As two girls came in the lecture hall and sat next him on the left.

Demetri recognised them as the two female leads from the novel he had transmigrated into. He smiled warmly and introduced himself. "Good morning! I'm Demetri Hanns. I hope we can get along since we're all Business majors. Maybe even become friends?" He extended his hand toward the first girl beside him.

She had long, flowing light blonde hair that cascaded over her shoulders, her blue eyes striking against her fair skin. She wore a crisp white blouse underneath a cream button-up sweater, paired with a modest, below-the-knee skirt in a soft beige. Her figure was curvy, with fuller breasts around a DD-cup, and her casual white sneakers added a relaxed touch to her otherwise classic look.

Next to her stood another girl, her long brown hair curling softly at the ends. She wore a sleek black trench coat over dark beige trousers, a light beige blouse peeking underneath. Her outfit, combined with her confident posture and similarly full bust, gave her the appearance of an ideal, professional businesswoman. Her white sneakers balanced the look, giving her an approachable, yet put-together vibe.

Both of the girls were stunned by his warm smile and good looks, so they introduced themselves one by one.

"I'm Sophia Moore. It's nice to meet you." The girl with the blonde hair smiled at him, while the other said, "I'm Catherine Parker. Nice to meet you," in a professional tone. Both of them, despite the different personalities, shared a confident and assured demeanor, making them stand out in the room.

"This is my friend Anna Liebert." Demetri introduces Anna to the two girls. As they instantly connect and start talking.

Anna, feeling grateful for the introduction, smiled, and the conversation flowed naturally. They chatted about their classes, their majors, and other common interests. Anna was relieved to meet the girls, she felt a connection with them. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and Anna found herself laughing and sharing experiences with the group.

"Let me swap seats with you Anna so that you can talk to them more freely." Demetri suggested as he doesn't want to interrupt their talk.

So they swapped seats, Anna started conversing in a lively manner with the two girls, feeling more connected, and now that the awkwardness was gone. She felt comfortable talking with them.

Demetri sat back, taking occasional notes while also paying attention to the lectures, watching Anna talk to the girls.

'These three are female leads that will be apart of this world's MC harem. Well what do I care as long as I survive nothing matters.' Demetri thought with a calm expression.

The lecture went by and Anna was still chatting with the girls after it finished. They talked about their weekend plans and exchanging numbers, making small talk.

Anna was feeling glad to have met the girls as they had lots in common. They seemed like good friends. As they talk, they walked over to the cafeteria where they ordered some food and sat down together.

Demetri had left to go for a walk. After 15 minutes a student named Marcus Desmond (MC of the world) came introduced himself and asked the three of them out.

Marcus, handsome and charismatic, caught their attention, his confidence radiating. He was greeted with admiration from the three, as he approached as he introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Marcus Desmond. I couldn't help but notice you're business majors too and wanted to chat with you."

As he spoke, Anna and Sophia felt a magnetic charm to him, and Catherine, despite trying to stay composed, felt drawn to his presence, even though she didn't show it.

Demetri watched from a far happy that he wouldn't die or humiliated like a mutt.

Anna, despite herself, couldn't help feeling charmed by him. She found him handsome and his confidence was irresistible.

Sophia and Catherine, likewise, couldn't help but feel a flutter of something in their chest at his introduction. Their eyes moved to each other, and they both knew they were on the same page.

They all exchanged greetings and small talk as Marcus smiled at all three, with a look that made them feel butterflies.

'I guess the Marcus's plot armor sure is convenient, it saves him from dangerous situations, helps with flirting with girls, and his cockiness can be seen as confidence. Well whatever.' Demetri shrugging his shoulders.

After a while they finished talking and exchanged contact information with Marcus and he left. And then Demetri came inside.

"Did I make you all wait too long?" Demetri asked with a smile.

Sophia and Catherine were still a bit flustered from their talk with Marcus. While Anna was still thinking about him, even though she tries not to show it.

When Demetri returned, Sophia responded, "It's fine, you didn't take long," while Catherine remained composed.

Anna nodded, smiling slightly, still lost in her thoughts about Marcus.

"Hmm... something happened here? Since you are acting so, hmm... how should I put it differently. Like how someone changes based on who they like becoming nervous, sweating a it, lost in thought and blushing a lot." Demetri says by observing them with a smile.

Anna, caught a little off guard, blushed slightly realizing her crush signs might be evident to those who knew her well, like Demetri.

She tried to act calm as she tried to hide her feelings.

Sophia tried to act calm and said, "It's just that…we met someone who was charming." As her face was a bit flushed.

Catherine, trying to act composed, "And he was handsome." She added, her cheeks getting a little pink.

"My~ for Catherine to say something out of the ordinary like this. This person must've impressed you a lot then?" Demetri chuckled with a smile.

Catherine was not one to give compliments easily, she usually was composed and professional. So her comment indeed was very out of the ordinary. She blushed slightly and nodded, "He really did impress me."

Sophia smiled and said, "He was handsome and had a magnetic charm to him. I couldn't help but like him."

Anna smiled, feeling a bit shy to admit the same, but her face slightly flushed and her mind kept thinking about him, she looked slightly off and flustered, not realizing she's being caught red-handed with her crush signs by Demetri.

'YES, YES this perfect. After a week or a week and a half they'll forget me. Hello freedom and i can escape the route of me being humiliated and dying.' Demetri feeling very joyful inside and smiling outwards.

"Well anyways we have a one lecture and we are finished. Let's go I want to go home." Demetri said stretching his back and arms.

The trio agreed and went to their final lecture, although the mind of the three of them was slightly preoccupied by Marcus.

After the lecture, Anna, Cathrine and Sophia exchanged some small talk as they walked together.

Anna kept thinking about Marcus with her cheeks flushed and a warm feeling in her chest, she was daydreaming about running into him again to spend more time around him.
