Torn Between Twin Brothers - Chapter 114
Ava just rolled her eyes and sat down. Gizelle followed and sat next to her, blocking anyone else that would want to sit on Ava’s other side. She was making sure that no one could get in, no matter what.
While Ava was busy checking out the video she just took, two good-looking young men came, and the aura emitting from them was too much for some of the young women in the classroom.
One student at the front row where Ava and Gizelle were seated gasped before she exclaimed.
“Whoa! Who are those guys? Are they one of those idols from Asia and Europe? Look how they’re standing there looking like young male gods!”
Another girl sitting next to her couldn’t help herself. “Gosh, I’m in love already! I hope they come up here and sit next to me!” She said loud enough for Ava and Gizelle to hear.
Ava raised her head and looked at the people in question. Her eyes widened when she saw who they were.
Ava quickly ducked, acting as if she dropped something and she was looking for it.
“Did you lose something?” Asked Gizelle, ready to help. However, Ava acted as if she didn’t hear Gizelle’s question. She continued looking for something that was never lost.

James and Prince Edward arrived late the night before. Unfortunately, both were still jet-lagged and had slight hangovers. But that didn’t stop them from coming to school looking like they just came out of a fashion magazine.
Although it was freezing cold outside, both of them were wearing brand names and specially designed articles of clothing from head to toe. While everyone wore thick winter jackets, they wore long London fog trench coats.
James wore a black one while Prince Edward was wearing a navy blue one.
Both of the men’s eyes were roaming inside the classroom. Other students were wondering what they were looking for, so they all turned their heads whichever directions their eyes went.
James and Prince Edward were still busy looking for Ava when the Professor arrived.
“Ahem! If you’re planning to join us, please find yourselves seats so we can begin with the class.” Said the Professor who was standing right behind them.
There was nothing the two could do but find the nearest vacant seats, which were right at the front.
===
They ended up sitting right next to the young man that tried to help Ava earlier.
“Hi! I’m Joshua. Nice to meet you!” Although he didn’t know the two yet, he had already told them nicely to meet them. So, James, who was about to sit next to him, accepted his extended hand and shook it.
“I’m James, and this is P-” he was about to say Prince, but Prince Edward was quick to jab him in his middle section. He quickly changed the introduction, “Edward.” He continued saying.
Joshua just waved at Prince Edward before sitting back down. The Professor had already started introducing himself.
“For all of you that don’t know me… which is about everyone in the classroom, my name is Dilan Smith. You can call me Professor Smith or Mr. Smith. But, never call by my first name.” He was severe while speaking, so everyone took it seriously.
“If you’re not sure what class this is, it’s English 101. Your stepping stone to English 102. Do you understand?” He bantered, trying to lighten the mood.
A few of the students laughed, some snickers, but mostly they just listened to him talk about the grading system for the duration of the class. Then, finally, he broke down how the grades would be, and Ava quickly jots it down, ensuring she didn’t mess up.
“So, mainly your attendance and tests. There will be some group projects that I will assign later on, which will count at least 10% of your grades.” He looked around to see if everyone was paying attention to him speaking,
He saw how diligent Ava was writing everything he said. He found it fascinating.
“I also wanted to make an announcement. We have with us a young girl who’s only 16 years old and already a freshman. Let’s welcome Miss Ava. Go! Miss Go, will you please stand up, so everyone will know who you are!” Said Professor Smith.
Ava, who was trying her best to be inconspicuous, had turned red and realized her plan didn’t work. So, finally, she had no choice but to stand up.
When James and Prince Edward heard what Professor Smith announced, both of them turned their heads to look around… Ava was standing all the way almost at the back row, looking straight at everyone proudly. Why didn’t they see her earlier? Both wondered.
A girl was sitting next to her who looked like someone she knew. The girl had a smile on her face while gazing at Ava. James wondered who she was and what her relationship was with Ava. He will make sure to find out as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Gizelle remembered her time at West Point Academy. She received the same welcome from the instructor. But then that’s when her nightmares began. Once everyone knew she was a genius, they picked on her and bullied her until she learned how to fight. Which was what she was going to teach Ava soon. Of course, the kid needed to be prepared just in case.
While Gizelle was having all kinds of thoughts, the Professor told Ava to briefly introduce herself to the class.
Shyly, Ava complied.
After a brief introduction of herself, she waited for Professor Smith to tell her she could sit before she quickly plopped back down into her chair, wanting to find a rock she could crawl into. But, she knew that James and Prince Edward had seen her, and she couldn’t wait for the class to be over so she could run away as fast as she could.
The class duration was for one hour; it was the most extended hour of Ava’s life. She could sense that many eyes were on her, although she couldn’t see anyone looking in her direction. She was feeling so self-conscious that it worried Gizelle….
