Chapter 3 - The café (2/2)

Vivian was pleased that Sarah's attention was back. ”Him? You know it's a male?”

”It's more like an intuition. In my mind he is male, ugly, middle-aged, fat, and bold.” Sarah giggled, indicating that she is joking.

”What if he is handsome?”

”Now that is your imagination.” Sarah could not believe how Vivian always thinks of handsome guys.

Vivian giggled. ”Well you dream about ugly and fat middle-aged people. I will dream about handsome ones… but if he caught your attention, he must be special, right?”

Sarah frowned. ”Your logic does not make sense. I'm interested to find out who is behind those computer skills, and to show him that no one should dare to take what is mine! That first place was mine. I feel like he stole it from me right under my nose.” Sarah's competitive spirit was fired up.

”I see you feel energized.” Vivian accurately observed.

”Of course!” Sarah didn't deny. She stuck her index finger up in the air and proudly announced, ”I, Sarah Hill will find out who that Omega is, and show him my skills until he submits to the power of my code!” Sarah let out an exaggerated evil laugh, and quickly cut it off. She glanced around nervously, grateful that cafe is noisy, and no one paid attention to her outburst from few seconds ago. ”Well, that is how proclamations of rivalry go in the game I'm playing.”

Vivian could not believe what she just observed. ”You should switch to simulation games.”

”Oh, I play those also… but no matter what I play, I always go back to 'Age of Legends'.” Sarah's gaze went back to the window.

Vivian concluded that she lost Sarah's attention. In general, Sarah is good at listening, but whenever Vivian tried to find out more about Sarah, Sarah quickly avoids the topic or shuts down.

Shortly after, as Sarah and Vivian left the café, at the table next to theirs, young man lifted his head above laptop. His dark eyes followed Sarah's departing back, and his lips curved into a smile. He seems to enjoy the view.

He is sitting right next to the table where Sarah and Vivian were seated, and it would be unusual that he didn't hear every word that Sarah and Vivian spoke.

'Sarah Hill… will make me submit?' He was amused by the challenge presented.

”Hey, Aiden, nice to see you here! I didn't know you are back.”, one man approached him enthusiastically and pulled him out of his thoughts.

Aiden frowned. ”Yes, I just came last night.” He gave a small nod and focused on his screen.

”Your injury healed well?” Seeing that Aiden is not responding, the man who approached him fidgeted nervously. ”Well, it seems you are busy. Will catch up later.”

”Mhm”, Aiden mumbled without looking up at a man.

The man had a sour face as he retreated, but there was nothing he could do at this point.

Aiden ignored him and he didn't feel guilty about it, not even a little bit. He was looking at his laptop, but in his mind, he was thinking of a young woman who announced that she will make him submit to her. 'That is Sarah Hill?'

He heard rumors about her, young lady who jumped straight into third year courses, acing the exams and scoring as a top student after her first semester. Stories praise her as a prodigy who was not seen before at Tesla University, and he needs to find out more about her.

Aiden glanced at his surroundings, making sure no one can see his laptop, and within a minute hacked into student database at Tesla University. He went through information of Sarah Hill.

The café is noisy and full of patrons. Number of females are looking at Aiden, hoping that he will return their gazes, but his sight is focused on the laptop in front of him.

He returned to University in order to get to know Sarah's skills. Based on what he heard, she is not an easy person to get close to. But there is one thing she does not seem to decline: projects for anyone who wants to pay. Aiden smirked as he recollected this part of Sarah's talk with her female companion. Now he only needs to think of a way to approach her.

Aiden copied her course schedule for the upcoming semester and removed traces of his breach into student database before putting his laptop in the backpack and leaving toward the men's dorm of Tesla University.
