Be’s POV
I looked at the te full of breakfast. I seriously have no appetite since that night.
I was literally running away from him which i shouldn’t be doing because i am not wrong.
But i can’t help it. It I would have looked in those eyes one more time i would have melted.
He was looking weak too. I know how much Alex likes to keep himself in check but his grown stumble and messy hair were telling me that he wasn’t taking good care of himself.
He followed me that night, insisting that he will drop me… Just one time.
‘just one time’ did something to me. It feels like it’s alling to an end.
That’s what I want right? I want everything to end then why it’s bothering me so much.
No matter what he says, i can’t forgive him so easily. I told him that i need space. It’s better if stay away from each other because i can’t think straight when he is near me and he haven’t contacted me again after that.
I guess he is understanding the meaning of space and freedom. Is he really changing?
I don’t have to pressurized myself. Focus on yourself Be. I sighed again.
“It’s getting cold…”
Valentino dragged me out of my thoughts.
“I am not hungry…”
I replied.
“It’s not for your hunger… Breakfast is very important for your health… Finish it if you want to reach your college on time…”
He won’t let me go just like this, i know.
“But i will throw up… If i eat forcefully…”
I am feeling like this for days now. I don’t know why.
“That’s why you need to eat… I can’t lose you to eating disorder…”
He replied filling ss of juice for me.
“Are you meeting Jasmine today?”
He asked.
“No, not today… I have assignments…”
Jasmine and i meeting everyday to catch up. I am happy that everything is back to normal. I got my sister back.
“May be tomorrow…”
I finished my sandwich with much struggle and stood up.
“I am gettingte… Anyway i won’t understand anything there so i guess it doesn’t matter.”
“Math?”
He chuckled.
“Yeah, math…”
I huffed.
Since I have joined back, math is going bouncer from my head. Alex used to teach me maths so it was easy back then. Now it’s making me cry because i can’t even solve one problem properly.
“If you want I’ll look for a coaching sses… It will help you…”
He suggested.
I don’t think anyone can teach me like Alex used to do. God! Stop thinking about him.
“We’ll talk about it when ie back… I have to run now..”
I waived goodbye and rushed out with my bagpack.
Michael drove me to the campus and empty corridors telling me that i amte for my first ss.
I avoided going to my locker and straight away ran towards the ss. Even if I don’t understand anything, the least i can do is attend every ss.
I entered the ssroom and thankfully Miss. Taylor, my math professor is not here yet. Thank God otherwise she would have Doomed my day.
I took my seat while catching my breathing.
“Thank God you are on time.”
La said twirling her pen with her straight hair strand.
We are going well together and i don’t mind herpany. She is nice and she is good at maths. She is helping me little bit and because of her i am sitting in the first bench otherwise i would be hiding somewhere inst benches.
“But looks like Miss Taylor iste today”
I replied.
“Didn’t you hear the news?”
She raised her eyebrows and shook my head.
“Miss. Taylor got engaged and she is shifting to USA with her fiance… So someone else will be joining today…”
“Ohh… I hope that someone will be good, unlike her.”
I huffed.
“May be someone handsome…”
She grinned.
“But Most of the maths professors are old and ugly.”
“That’s mean”
I chuckled and she shrugged.
We all stood up when Miss Taylor entered while fixing her big sses. Her grey hair bounced in ponytail.
“Good morning students, please take a seat…”
She stood in front of us. She must be here to say goodbye.
“I assume you guys have heard the news. I am feeling very emotional Today, this coge is like my family. So i have found someone trustworthy who will take care of you all for this semester…”
La and i looked at each other. She is speaking very fondly of the person.
“100 dors that it will be someone ugly…”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
La whispered.
“I don’t think it will that bad.”
I whispered.
“Bet”
She challenged.
“Trust me in my whole school life, i haven’t seen handsome or beautiful math teacher.”
“Okay bet…”
I chuckled. That’s why I like herpany, she is schr in the ss but fun to be with.
“Make it 500 dors.”
She whispered.
“I want to buy new heels…”
I smiled and nodded.
“Okay 500”
Miss Taylor looked at the door with smile.
“Pleasee in dear…”
And when that person entered inside all air from my chest knocked out.
“Ladies and gentlemen… Please wee Alexander Marino…”
She announced and ssroom filled with gasps and murmurs.
What the fuck is he doing here?
His eyes roamed on the ss in full confidence like he knows what is he doing. Neat styled hair, ck cks and white shirt. His jacket is missing, still handsome as always.
My hands started shaking under the table, i don’t know why. La squeezed them gently, she is aware of our history. In fact everyone in the campus knows about us.
“Quiet everyone”
Miss Taylor raised her voice.
“I guess you all know this incredible personality. But i would love to introduce him to the ss.. Alex is my ex student, excellent in studies and gold medalist in math… So you all are in safe hands…”
Safe hands, i want tough at these words.
“I wish you all the best, Alex…”
She turned towards him.
“I know you will make me proud…”
“Of course.”
He gave her sweet smile, okay, he respects her. It’s clearly visible from his behavior because usually he doesn’t give two fucks about who is standing in front of him.
“Are you okay, Be?”
La whispered to me with worried face.
“Perfectly fine”
I smiled at her. She didn’t believe it but nodded.
Miss Taylor left and everyone went silent. I think there is hardly anyone who doesn’t know about Alex and his business. I can see fear on everyone’s faces.
“Very good morning everyone…”
He smiled and leaned against the desk.
“I assume you all already know me…”
His eyes roamed on the ss. He haven’t looked at me yet but i know why he is here.
“Whatever you know or have heard about me is probably true but let’s keep it aside while we are in the ss… Here i am your professor and you all are students that’s it…”
His voice send shivers in my body.
“But i will appreciate discipline in the ss… No one will cross their boundaries here… Am i clear, Carl.”
He red at him and Carl almost stumbled down from his seat.
I guess Luca has told him everything.
“Yes, sir…”
Carl gulped.
“Good.”
He smirked at his sweating face.
“Enough of my introduction… Let’s start with yours…”
He folded his hands over his chest.
One by one students started introducing themselves. Some of them were nervous and scared while some girls said it in flirting tone.
My heart started beating fast when La finished introducing herself.
I looked up while taking deep breath. His eyes were already on me.
“Myself Be Valentino…”
I said, i don’t think i need to exin why i took math as a major like everyone exined. He knows it.
He didn’t question me either, I’ll break his fucking nose if he does.
“Any questions for me before we start…”
He asked.
One girl raised hand.
La rolled her eyes.
“Ofcourse she wants his attention… Queen bee Sarah…”
She is right, Sarah is that kind of girl. I can see glow in her eyes while looking at Alex.
“Yes”
Alex nodded.
“Mr. Marino… We all know you are a sessful businessman… What made youe here as a professor?”
She finished with flirty smile.
“I didn’t expect smart question from this bimbo.”
Lamented.
“Good question…”
He looked at her with approval.
“I like maths and i always wanted to teach… I think Miss Taylor was aware of that and that’s why she approached me… I think there is no harm following your passion…”
He looked at me when he said ‘passion’.
“Let’s start… Shall we?…”
I released a sigh of relief when he started teaching. I wanted to cry in happiness when understood everything he was teaching. He has different techniques which i am already friendly with.
“You all have one minute… I want answer of this question…”
He stood aside letting us see the board.
Everyone started doing it like a race. I did too.
“1024”
I said louder making everyone look at me.
Shit! I was overexcited.
La looked at me with wide eyes. It’s the first time i have given answer in the ss.
He smiled at me.
“Good, Be!”
My heart hammered when he said my name. I closed my notebook and looked straight avoiding the attention i got right now.
“That’s it for today… You all can leave… Except you Be… I can see that you haven’tpleted yourst few assignments… You will wait…”
He said while shuffling through the papers.
“Is anyone else there who haven’tpleted their assignments.”
Everyone started walking away because everyone has submitted it except me.
“Sir, she was not well so she couldn’tplete it.”
La spoke for me.
Alex looked at her.
“We’ll talk about it Miss. La… You can leave”
“La it’s okay… Go!… Don’t mess with him, please…”
I pleaded.
“But you are notfortable”
She whispered back.
“I will handle it… Please… I don’t want to cause you problems…”
I said and she nodded.
“I am waiting outside… If tried anything just scream.”
She said and walked out before ring at Alex.
This girl!
“What are you doing here, Alex!”
I asked looking at him.
