Chapter 738 - Sure

For the past two days ever since that night when he had accidentally run into that girl, Kyle was unable to get that girl off his mind. It was ridiculous, but Kyle felt like that girl, named Luna, had somehow reawakened all the emotions he had tried so hard to bury deep inside him. It was like this was an exact repeat of those h.e.l.lish days all over again, when he had just said goodbye to Lilith. Why? Why the h.e.l.l was this happening to him? He could not even count how many times he had repeated that question to himself within the past two days.

That girl… how the h.e.l.l was she even able to take over his mind so effortlessly, when he just literally met her once? And that could not even be counted as meeting up! They practically crashed into each other.

Kyle felt like he was going crazy just thinking about this. Often, he just found himself looking around whenever he sees a group of girls that were not from his cla.s.s pa.s.s by. He was trying to look out for that girl without him even realizing that he was doing so!

His friends even noticed him doing that and started asking him who was it that he was looking for more than a few times already. He was so painfully distracted that he started to feel frustrated at himself.

A while ago, he had decided not to leave immediately after cla.s.s. He did not like to be caught by the girls, but this was a better option to him. He was afraid that he might actually lose it and end up going to search for that girl. There was no way he would do something so stupid as that. He cannot be doing that. He must avoid the girl at all costs!

Now he was here, forcing himself to interact with these girls his roommates had invited. This girl named Agnes was pretty bold and he could feel how desperate she was for his attention. He only planned to waste his time but before he knew it, he had ended up agreeing to her request to accompany her in walking back to the girl"s dorm. And that was just because while Agnes was talking nonstop, she had mentioned her roommate"s name. That was what had ensnared him into agreeing with Agnes" request.

d.a.m.n it! He cursed himself inwardly, but he had already agreed. And d.a.m.n it again because he could not even be a jerk right now and try to escape.

Secretly, Kyle hoped that he would not see Luna. He was not confident that he would be able to ignore her once he sees her again. But just as he was thinking about it, Agnes had already yelled that very name he was hoping not to hear, and Kyle nearly hissed out a curse.

When he saw her and their eyes met, Kyle instantly felt her impossibly strong and inexplicable effect on him. Then his freaking heart even skipped a beat. What the h.e.l.l?!

He was about to force himself to act as natural as he could, but his eyes fell on her hands that was holding onto a notebook… then to another boy"s hands that were gripping on the other half of that same small notebook.

Kyle"s gaze immediately narrowed and darkened. And when he met the boy"s stare, Kyle"s blood just boiled within his veins. He had to clench his fists tight to stop himself from stepping forward and grabbing Luna away from him. This boy, Kevin Riego… since the moment Kyle had met him at the gym yesterday, he did not like him. There was just an intense abhorrence that had welled up every time he looked at the guy. He just had a bad feeling about him at first sight. And now this…

"Wait a second, Averis." Kevin said, pulling Luna"s attention away from Kyle. "Can I have your phone number?"

Kyle"s jaws clenched a little as he waited for Luna"s response. "Ignore him, you little witch!" Kyle hissed inwardly, not realizing that he was calling Luna that nickname again.

However, when the girl shrugged and said "sure", Kyle nearly lost his cool right there and then.

As Luna took Kevin"s phone to type in her number, Agnes suddenly grabbed at Kyle"s arm and pulled him closer to Luna and Kevin.

"Luna, look who"s with me." Agnes was smiling from ear to ear, almost like a child proudly show casing her newest and most expensive toy. "You already know him, right?"

"Of course, she knows him." It was Kevin who replied, his voice slightly mocking. "Who in the world wouldn"t know the infamous Prince Vincent Kyle Reigns? The campus" hottest, handsomest, and most perfect prince of all time?"

"Right!" Agnes" head nodded back and forth like a rattle. The girl was so oblivious that she did not even notice the obvious sarcasm in Kevin"s tone.

"Looks like you"re picking up girls again, Riego. If I"m not wrong, Luna should be the third girl you –" Kyle"s cold voice bit out but was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

"I didn"t know royals could be such nosy a.s.ses, Reigns. It"s none of – " and Kevin"s sentence was likewise cut off by Kyle in revenge for his earlier offence.

"True. You"re none of my business. But it"s not my fault if every time I see you, and you"re always asking for some girl"s number like some beggar on the street." Kyle leaned in on him and whispered with a wicked, taunting smile. "Let"s just say I"m just the goody a.s.s royal, trying to warn a poor girl from a potential predator."

"F-f*ck you –"

Just as Kevin uttered that curse, Luna cut him off.

"I"m leaving." Luna gave Kevin his phone. "Thanks for the notebook again." she added and immediately turned around and left.

When Luna was far enough from them, Kevin faced Kyle and threw him a death glare.

"How scary," Kyle just smirked at him, and Kevin could only grit his teeth before he too turned around and left.

"Can I have your number too?" Agnes asked with much antic.i.p.ation, once Kevin was gone. Her brightly glittering eyes and coy smile told Kyle that she was very much confident in getting what she wanted from him.

Kyle looked at her and for a moment he hesitated.. But when he glanced at the building where Luna had just entered, he gave a neutral and polite smile and said "sure", causing Agnes to almost jump and squeal out in excitement.
