Chapter 32：The Ex- Part 2 (2/2)

”Can you repeat that again,” Ruka interrupted with a growl. I could see that Ruka was trying to keep his cool.

”I'm talking to my-” and Ruka punched him square in his face. Well, he asked for it. Ruka put his arm around my waist which was a clear sign that meant I was his and walked me out of the mall.

”Who was that and why was his hand on yours?” Ruka asked as we drove back to the castle.

”Steven. We studied in the same school. I used to like him a year back but not now,” I said him to which he just gave a curt nod, ”He had a mate.”

”Had?” he asked me raising his eyebrow in question?

”He rejected her,” I told him.

”I see,” he replied. I am glad he did not flip or anything on me, ”Louis told you're doing well in your training.”

”And?” I asked him a little excited at what he was getting to.

”You can go on the trip,” he said a smile tugging his lips.

”Yay!” I jumped from my seat and hugged him.

Next day in the school, I walked to my class and saw Maximus or Max as he preferred. I pulled out his book from my bag.

”Here,” I told him handing over the book. He opened the book and went through the pages.

”Sweet,” he said and closed the book. The class began as usual; we were given exercises to solve in the class. As I was writing, I felt a pair of eyes on me, which was Max and I ignored it but after some while, it started annoying me.

”Don't you have anything better to do than stare?” I asked him.

”I was wondering how I could make you solve the rest of my assignments,” he said grinning.

”Are you so busy that you can't do such a small thing?” I asked while I continued solving on my book.

”Hmm,” was his reply to it, ”So who's your mate?” he asked me casually changing the subject.

”And why would I say that?” I questioned him back. I felt suspicious about him.

”Because we are friends?” he asked giving me an innocent look.

”We aren't,” I told him.

”I'm hurt Eve,” he said dramatically, ”You know you didn't have a mark last week. I know its someone from this school. Is it Louis?Derek?” he asked me.

”What?! No!” I whisper yelled.

”I wonder who it is,” he murmured to himself.

”Why do you even want to know?”

”Because friends know about each other,” he protested, I mentally face palmed myself listening to this.

I went to the next class after that and sat next to the window. I had one more class after this and then I was free to go. Feeling thirsty I pulled out the bottle and drank the water. I still had the water in my mouth, looking outside.

”Good afternoon class, I'm Mr. Reed,” a husky voice spoke making my head snap and I choked looking at the person.

”Your Advance mathematics teacher is on leave due to personal reasons, in the meantime I'll be handling the class,” he looked at me and I saw his lips slightly curl up. He was wearing square spectacles.

Girls were already fawning over him giving their best smiles. He was going to teach here? My eyes were wide as saucers and the thing was no one even recognized him as Ruka Wolfric.
