My Boyfriend Is A Campus Bad Boy - Chapter 192

Jasmine walked slowly down to the living area, covering herself with a white robe. She didn’t want to spoil the boys who was patiently waiting for them.

She smiled, clasped both of her palm, “Alright, shall we start?”

“JASMINE!”

“ZENITH!”

“JASMINE!”

Most of the boys bellowed the two girls’ name except of Halora. They didn’t want to awaken the animal that lived within Sebastian’s body or it would be a sentient trouble.

Before the show started, she ran back upstairs, winked at Zenith and Halora while taking off the white robe. She sighed, looked at nowhere distant, “Let’s go girls!” she said.

Feeling nervous and sweating, Halora swallowed greedily. She never tried wearing such glimmering dress and make-up after a long time.. And the thought of Sebastian laughing out loud because of her poor, disgusting look.

However, as she imagined things differently, she heard loud voices that echoed around. Halora looked down and realized that Jasmine already showed off her beautiful, revealing black dress.

“It’s my turn, Halora! Just relax and wait for your turn.” Zenith told her. “Goodluck! Sebastian will be going to drool over upon catching a glimpse of you tonight.” she added that scared Halora.

She shook her head while Zenith walked down with confidence and glamour. She undeniably looked like a goddess and for sure, Roy would be left speechless and stunned by her beauty. “Huh, why did I even agree to this small party with a twist?” she murmured.

Listening to the boys who praised and was dumbstruck with Zenith’s beauty, Halora caressed her neck for a second. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath that somehow lessened the fear she had felt.

“And now, the last but not the least, let us welcome- HALORA!”

Loud and clear, Jasmine announced her rare name. She stumbled as it surprised her but there was no way of escaping at all.

Before she took steps downstairs, Halora bit her palm. “Woah! This will be the first and last time, Halora. Don’t worry, you can change it right away after walking in front of everyone.” she thought.

Taking a long sigh, she slowly walked downstairs, hearing a loud silence. No one dared to speak even the cold, howling wind didn’t bother her at all.

As she was getting closer, she could feel the tension in her chest. It made her knees weak, electrified her entire system. But the moment she reached the floor of the living area, all eyes was on her way. She smiled shortly, bowed her head and thought that no one liked the way she looked with the dress.

Halora stayed still looking at Sebastian. He looked at her coldly, emotionless that brought pain to her. “I knew it! I shouldn’t have listen to them!” she said in regret.

Disappointed and dismayed, she turned around on them thinking that it was just a blunt. But before she misunderstood their reactions, Jasmine and Zenith ran towards and embraced her tightly that almost took her breath away.

“Oh my gosh! You blew them out because of your beauty and alluring charm, Halora!” said Jasmine while giggling.

On the opposite side, Zenith pinched Halora’s rosy cheeks and waist secretly. Little did they knew, Roy, Markus and Sebastian were left dumbfounded upon catching a glimpse of her.

The shape of her face, her round, tantalizing eyes, pointed nose and crimson lips matched perfectly. It was quite fascinating that they couldn’t even utter a single word.

“Woah! Halora nailed the show tonight!” spoke Yong and Robbe who both stopped playing card games.

On the couch, Andy, Daniel and the twins clapped their hands that brought the rest to their senses. They made loud noises, stomped their feet and gripped tightly some empty cans.

“Halora,” said Sebastian who didn’t control himself anymore. He gasped, took steps closer to her way while the two girls ran into the table full of chips and cans of soda. “You looked beautiful tonight.” he gulped, tried to resist her captivating charisma but he found himself staring deeply at her brown eyes.

“I thought…” she paused, looked at his eyes confusingly.

Sebastian chuckled as if they were the only person in the living area. He touched the back of his nape, shook his head in astonishment, “I was completely speechless upon seeing you earlier! T-the dress… that red, enchanting long dress just blown me away! Making me a mute person who couldn’t speak at all!”

She gasped, giggled secretly and looked down at the ground, “I- is that t-true? I… I thought you didn’t like the way I wear this dress and I also imagined your disappointed face seeing me tonight.”

“How could you even say that?” he asked, burrowed his brows. “You are beautiful, inside and out. Whether you wear any simple clothes, what matter the most is your kind heart and beautiful soul. Halora.”

“And tonight, you are the only girl that shines brightly. The girl who’s not just have a perfect, cute face but with a pure heart too.” Sebastian told her while looking intently into her eyes.

But from a distance, Markus watched at them with sadness in his eyes. There was a part of him hoping that he met Halora first than Sebastian. And probably, his life would change entirely from dwelling from the past to living fully the present.

He scoffed, gripped firmly the can of soda. “I want to give up this strange feeling towards her, but every time I saw her smiling widely, it quickly changes my decisions.” he sounded bitter, but it was part of the ugly truth.

All out of a sudden, he felt someone’s presence beside him. Markus narrowed his eyes, chug the soda from its can, “Why are you here with me? Aren’t you going to confess your feelings to the girl in the white dress?”

Markus was referring to Zenith who burst into laughter with Dylan, Gray and Stryker on the other side of the place while taking selfies altogether.

Roy squirmed the can of soda in his hand, caressed his chin and caught a glimpse of him for a second. “I don’t know, I have this gut feeling that she likes someone else- I mean, one of Sebastian’s friends than me.” he replied in a hollow voice.

Everyone enjoyed the simple party. The way they laughed, and spoke to each other, and the only thing that was certain– a genuine, unforgettable moment for all of them.

But away from the crowd, Roy saw Zenith who silently gazing at above the starry night. She looked stunning in the white dress and her fair, white skin glowed in darkness.

She sighed, crossed her arms and seized the cold moment.

Behind her, Roy cleared his throat and he said, “Hey, stunning young lady! What brought you here all of a sudden?”

It was a good, formal approach that made her giggled secretly. But Zenith didn’t want to be easy on him, and if he was really interested to know more about her, he would do something right away without hesitation.

Instead of being a clumsy, desperate girl, she gasped and didn’t say anything. She was barely staring at the bright sky while Roy rubbed the back of his head.

“Hey, Zenith! It’s too cold in here!” he said, changed the plan so quickly.

Zenith was about to ignore him once again but the next thing he did left her speechless. Her eyes widened like an owl gawking to its prey.

His simple gestures effortlessly touched her heart and soul. And putting his jacket on her back was one of her dreams and included in the bucket list she wrote a year ago.

Nervously, she embraced herself by touching her shoulders, “I… I’m sorry, I… I didn’t notice that you’re here at this moment too!” she said, held the jacket that warm her cold body.

“B– by the way, thank you f– for t– th– this…”

“No problem! I know your feeling cold s– so, I covered your back to warm you up, Zeni.”

Zeni?

A nickname?

Zenith’s heart thumped too fast when she heard it for the first time. No one ever named her ‘Zeni’ since she was young.

She gulped, took a step backward as she stood straight in the middle of the open field forepart just few steps away from the main gate.

“Zeni? What a cool name! I didn’t know that your good at naming people especially girls!” she laughed, crossed her arms in despair.

It was blunt and sarcastic compliment that somehow hurt her own feelings. Yet, she also knew that she has no right to feel that way because she wasn’t even have a special place in his heart.

Thus, Roy gave her a meaningful smile. He was nervous and at the same time confident that he only named two girls in his entire life– Halora and herself.

He shook his head, caressed his chin and he replied coldly, “It was just you and Halora. But, please don’t think the other way around, okay? Halora is my bestfriend and it’s pretty normal if I’ve given her a disgusting nickname!”

“You don’t have to explain it to me anyway.”

“But I want to be honest with you, Zeni.”

He looked sincerely into her face, stooped closer and saw both sadness and happiness in her eyes.

“I… I want to know more about you, Zenith and if you’ll let me, I am willing to take the risk without a doubt.” he told her that made her emotional and vulnerable.
