High academy:the truth untold - 31 Chapter 31. A target and a chocolate.

Nolan simply looked at her, meeting his eyes with hers, ” It might not be possible for any average person, however, riches can sure get anything done for you. But don’t you think you are being selfish? Asking me to waste a precious year in my career? ” He pointed out, while white lying to her. What is aging? Their kind won’t age after reaching a certain age.

“When did I ever ask you to stay and re take your first year? It’s you who gave that idea, but I really don’t mind it, cause not all can get such a wonderful chance to see this face everyday, ” She replied back, unknowingly flirting back with him.

Call her clueless, but she is more thick skinned than one could think she is. Well, that’s what happens, when you are locked up in the house and binge watch and read cheesy novels.

All she wanted is good friends, so she thought HIGH Academy gave that opportunity to her. Both Nolan and Islinda are sure likable personalities and she too want to spend time with them.

Nolan liked her honest personality. No matter what, she tries to say, her opinion is put out openly. Well it sure hurts sometimes, but it is better than those sweet talks compared than this bitterness, which will only hurt one more in future by honey coating their lies.

” Ok. Time to take my leave. I think we never introduced formally, ” Saying that he stood on his place, stretched his hand towards her, ” I am Nolan. Pleased to meet you again, ” He introduced himself, while an underlying meaning was present in her latter sentence, known only to him.

Roselia too stood, held his hand and shook firmly, ” I am Roselia. Pleased to meet you too, senior ” She repeated Nolan’s words, not knowing what to speak. Don’t blame her, no one really spoke properly to her before this, so she found it hard to continue such formal greetings.

Nolan broke their hand contact, smiling gently at her, he sweetly ruffled her head, feelings her soft silky hair, petting her like a little puppy.

Roselia slightly peeked up at him and slowly wandered her eyeballs to either sides. She could see a big jelly mount formed there. It’s the jealousy of those girls who had crush on this very popular hunk of HIGH Academy. This shows how popular is this hunk infront of her.

” Senior Nolan, no no. Little lanlan suits you better. Are you sure you weren’t angry at me since you got caught before? ” She asked, thinking he is doing everything deliberately and making her the target of hate to all those girl fans of his here. Thick skinned Roselia.

A deep frown formed on his head again listening to her words. At first it’s little beauty, now it’s little lanlan? Only she could come up with such weired names.

Ouch~ Roselia squealed in pain, but seeing him smiles she too chuckled.

Just at that time, as if he remembered something, he asked her, ” But why did you ask about it? ”

In order to save her from her parents, he got caught by those elders in his family at the end, making him complete all the unfinished works for two whole days. Only he could relate with himself that what he got to pay for saving her.

“Well, could you please anytime pay attention to your surroundings. It’s the perfect saying of, ‘if looks could kill’ phrase. Seeing you act this friendly and touchy with me sure made them angry over me right at the first day school started, ” She bluntly spoke whatever came into her mind.

Nolan chuckled out loudly. Roselia had an expression of wronged child, ” Since it’s like that, then how about considering my offer before? Sure it will protect my little junior from their murderous glares, ” He commented, still hanging onto the hope that she might agree with his act. He got two benefits with this. He could drive away all those girls who pesters him and soon, confess his love for her.

However, the word protecting sounded like target to her. It more sounded like a target of hate compared to protection out of love.

Smiling like a little angel, that she is to Nolan, ” Nope, I want to spend few more years alive. ”

Nolan simply smiled at her. ‘You would come around soon, my love’. He thought to himself.

Bidding bye, he turned to take his leave. Just as he took a step, Islinda blocked his path, ” I remember someone saying they bought something for me, ” She said as she playfully winked at him.

He didn’t reply anything back, instead he took a chocolate from his pocket and passed it to her.

Islinda first eyed it with a frown, but soon after she realised it is her favorite brand of chocolate. It’s not something which she could get here, which means he bought it from their place.

She jumped in her place in excitement, “Thank you Nolan. You are the best of the best” She complimented him, while he returned with by petting her head happily. No matter what, Islinda is his friend’s sister and is just like his own sister. Her happiness sure matters to him, ” Don’t eat it all by yourself. Sharing is caring ” He implied her, indirectly asking her to share it with Roselia.

” Of course, I am not selfish like you, Nolan ” She said, as she stuck her tongue out at him. She carefully held the chocolate, as if it is the most important treasure she got.

He just rolled his eyes at her behavior and words. “Yeah, yeah.” He replied half heartedly, as he scanned the dining hall.

And, just like a whirlwind disappeared from the place. He would be doomed if he was late today.
