CHAPTER 4

It's been a week since class started. Within a few days, my studies here in Manila went well even though I was changing.

I can study well. Our prof is not that hassled to give assignments. They also said they don't want to put pressure on us which made our whole section happy.

Mia's entrance has also started. We don't see each other much because the tourism building is far from the law.

She also met Summer and Rafaela. The three of them immediately agreed. our table also made more noise every lunch break.

"Good morning, Athena! Is it your morning?” I saw Summer and Rafaela enter the room together. Because Mia and I went here to the university even though it was only seven o'clock. The university is still closed.

"Good morning. because I woke up early," I said smiling. I looked at the wall clock. It's only 7:13 am in the morning.

"You're gay! Early in the morning you look like Elsa because you are so white," Rafaela came to me and gently patted my shoulder.

"Gaga, don't hit me. as far as I know, the skins of people who are very white are said to be sensitive. When that passes, I will really punch you, you gay," Summer said with a frown and looked over my shoulder.

I laughed and shook my head. "My skin is not that sensitive."

"You see, gay. be very careful with Athena and you always beat me. What are you? Suck?” Rafaela cheered, so did Summer.

"How can the weight of your hand not stop you? I don't know about you, gay," Summer said and sat down in the seat next to me.

"Have you had breakfast, Athena? school opens at seven o'clock. Your morning, oh," asked Rafaela.

I nodded sparingly. "Just a little. I was a bit confused. I thought I'd be late, huh."

"I haven't eaten yet. Your morning is going to be messy," Summer said with a frown.

"I'm not asking you," Rafaela said. he received a blow from Summer.

"Where is Beki Mia? Don't you always go in together? Let's invite it. Class starts later," Summer and I nodded and went out.

Our exit was also right because we met Mia entering the Law building. she said she would also invite me to wander around the university as early as possible.

“Hey, Summer!” we turned to the man who called Summer. He looks like an engineering student because of his green uniform.

"Yo, what do you need, Julius?"

It grinned. "You and Rafaela have become even more beautiful, ah?" he turned to Mia and me. "Who are those two beautiful beauties?"

"Ew, bolero," Rafaela sighed and crossed her arms to the side.

Summer winced. "They are not available, shut up," he answered and pulled Mia and Rafaela and me away.

"Omg, you look like that ugly type, huh?" I heard Rafaela ask.

"Just give him a try, he'll taste a flying kick," said Summer.

Mia sneered. "We're not available because we're the ones staying with Athena, aren't we?" she grinned and held onto my arm.

We laughed and went straight to the cafeteria to eat.

CONTINUATION (CHAPTER 4)

"P-President Hades. It seems that your visits to the Law Building are increasing, huh?" a female law student greeted him while smiling.

He ignored it and passed by Athena's room. There were only a few people but he only saw his bag. 'Where did she go?'

He felt slightly confused.

He looked around the law building but he didn't see even Athena's shadow. After he came out he saw her walking with her friends.

a few days after class started, he watched the girl from afar. He was just thankful that whenever men approached Athena, her friends immediately pushed her away.

Who can't look at Athena? it's like an angel that came down from heaven because of its beauty. Fair skin, long and brown hair, good body shape and perfect face. Apart from that, it also behaves modestly.

Hades noticed that Athena was holding the hem of her skirt, looking like she was trying to pull it down because it wasn't comfortable. In the few years he has been seeing the university's uniform, he has only now felt annoyed.

'Why in the h*ll are they giving them such a short skirt?'

He frowned even more when he saw the men whose eyes were on the girl's thigh. He clenched his fist and stopped himself.

He stepped on his feet and walked closer to Athena. The four and the men who were staring at them froze when he passed.

he stopped and looked at the men who had come to his senses because he had passed by. He gave her a sharp look. It's my way to ruin their moment. What y'all are seeing is mine.'

He secretly looked at the girl. It's just bent over and trying to lower the skirt. 'I'll mark it soon so no one will step to stare at it.'

He walked away again.

"What did they do? Why are they kneeling?”

"He said he was cutting but was caught by President Hades."

"They really have no escape from the President."

"Of course, that's a lot of eyes, huh."

"What's up guys?" Rafaela interjected and gasped when she saw the five men kneeling in the salt and holding four thick books in both hands while facing the sun.

"Another punishment again," Summer whispered shaking her head and pulled Athena and Mia to see.

his throat went dry when he saw the five men staring at them earlier.

"They are said to have been caught by President Hades peeking into the law building. They said they also heard that they were talking about a woman they were supposed to be guarding in the law building," the woman turned to Rafaela.

Mia secretly glanced at Athena. The nervousness on his face was obvious as he looked at the five men who were kneeling and obviously very tired.

"Did you all learn your lesson?" everyone backed away as Hades appeared looking at them blankly.

the five boys almost cried while nodding.

"I decide that y'all can rest if it's already end of class," he said.

Those looking at the five men murmured. Shock and begging were evident on their faces.

"P-President, ouch. . .too much—”

"Are you against me?" Hades glared. The five immediately shook their heads and bowed to accept their punishment.

"I have my eyes on you five. The one who disobeys my orders will clean the whole university," he said and turned his back on the five.

"It's really bad."

"Because it will take courage."

"There are no fears, that's it."

Athena's gaze followed Hades. His chest was pounding because of what he did. Her friends are right. He is really intimidating.

she stopped and that's how surprised she was when Hades turned to her. Their eyes met.

Athena swallowed and looked away. She couldn't look the young man in the eye. she felt that it was absorbing her.

Hades turned to leave again. A small smile curved his lips.

CONTINUATION (CHAPTER 4)

I re-read the essay I did over and over again. I finished early what Prof. Sorelanza so I have time to correct the mistakes in my essay.

We are asked to write a 1k-2k word essay first. only the moving of paper and writing could be heard inside our room with so much focus.

I looked at the wall clock. There are still 35 minutes before the end of the activity that we are being asked to do. A while ago I was still counting because maybe I was just squinting.

I can't change anything in my essay because the number is correct. In my analysis, there is no wrong grammar there either.

I secretly turned to Summer and Rafaela. Rafaela was quietly writing while Summer also turned to me.

"You're done?" she mouthed. I nodded making him sneer.

"Ms. Sullivan?” I quickly looked away from him and turned to prof.

"Yes?"

"I guess you are already done?" I nodded making him smile. "Pass me your paper."

I took the two yellow papers that I used in the essay and stood up to give them to him.

“Uhm, can you put this box in the Storage room? I'll review your paper first," I nodded and reached for the big box.

I was a little surprised when he handed me a small piece of paper. "Here, show that to President Hades in case you run into him."

He also goes around every class hour?

"Careful, hija."

The box also felt heavy when I lifted it. I was suddenly curious as to what it contained. But based on what I hear inside, it's just a lot of paper.

when I left the law building it was very quiet. Besides maybe during class time, they are probably afraid of being caught cutting.

I looked at the sky. The weather is good today. Neither hot nor cold. Just right so I don't sweat lifting.

When I reached the storage room, I put the box on the side. I took a deep breath from exhaustion. Apart from the third floor where I went down, the storage room is also far away from the law building.

“Athena?”

I stopped when someone spoke behind me. I was surprised to see the man who called Summer earlier. It smiled.

"Of all the coincidences, this is the one I like the most," he laughed.

I smiled awkwardly. "B-Why are you here? It's class time now."

He tilted his head. "Are you rejecting me?"

“N-No—”

"Just kidding, of course it was cutting." he laughed.

“N-President Hades is walking around. B-You might get caught.”

"Are you concerned?" it grinned and approached me. "That's not it, I'm good, eh."

I backed away because he was getting closer and closer to me. I'm starting to get nervous because of his smile now.

I froze when I felt the cold wall behind me.

"But do you know what I'm better at?" his grin grew bigger. He brought his face closer to mine and held my arm.

"In bed," he added.

My eyes widened and I was about to move my leg when he kicked it, causing the side of my leg to rub against the protruding nail. I bit my lip when I felt the pain.

He laughed softly. "Don't hesitate anymore. You will only get hurt more.”

I couldn't stop crying when he covered my mouth with my arm and held my thigh up.

"You smell bad, t4ng*na. What if-"

He couldn't continue what he was going to say when he suddenly collapsed in front of me. I grabbed my bleeding leg and sat down.

I looked up. A pair of cold and emotionless eyes greeted me.

I can't stop crying.

"Shh, Sorry, I'm late."
