One by one, the crowd started whispering with words I couldn't understand. They were all inaudible since there was a bit of a distance between us and the crowd. While they murmured, I felt some of them gaze their eyes towards me which was weird because why would they be interested in someone like me?

'Was it because I'm a foreigner?'

But there's a lot of foreigners all around as well. RDIU was an International University after all.

'Or perhaps it wasn't me they're staring at—yeah, it's probably the twins. They're eye catchers for sure. Or it could also be Kaiden's purple car.'

Settling on that fact, I shrugged my shoulders and went on my way, following Kaiden and Crystal, with Hora walking beside me. We haven't even walked that long and we were approached by two good-looking men.

One had long chestnut brown straight hair that extended to his shoulders, with its upper half tied in a messy man bun. His face, though handsome, looked rather scary like those bullies at school or frat members. But I had to admit he had overwhelming appeal—a total hunk with his muscular body and tall stature. He wore a sleeveless black shirt that was fitted to his body and pants. Kaiden introduced him as ”Callan Wang” also known as ”Scarecrow”.

The other man, with the same height as Callan, had burgundy red short hair with soft but a bit messy fringes on his forehead. In contrast, he had a kind and friendly face like that of a handsome prince. He wore a neatly pressed striped polo shirt buttoned unto his neck, and black pants. He also had a lean body which was evident through his clothes. Kaiden introduced him as ”Verrill Zhong” also known as ”Casper”.

'Why are these teenagers already so sexy? Usually, men become sexy around 21 years and above, right? Are they all heavily active at sports?'

I stared at the three of them thinking how gorgeous they looked together. They could pass as idols or celebrities! Or if we're in the Victorian era, Verrill would be the kind prince, Callan would be the evil duke, and Kaiden would be the grumpy emperor.

I chuckled at the thought of it. Oh no, I think I researched too much on royalties due the story I'm writing that I'm mixing it with reality.

Callan smirked and whistled when Kaiden introduced me and Hora to them.

”So this is Senara, huh? You're very pretty and sexy,” he said while eyeing me from head to foot which I found rude. Perhaps Crystal noticed it that she immediately smacked Callan by the head with a pretty strong smack. It was followed by Kaiden's flick on his forehead that seemed to be so strong it left red marks on his skin.

”Learn some manners, Callan. Tsk!” Crystal reprimanded him as she shook her head and clicked her tongue like a baddie queen. Turning to us, she apologized on his behalf while pushing his head down to bow. ”Please forgive him. He's a really nice guy even though he lacks manners.”

”Aw! That hurts, Crystal,” Callan complained, trying to take Crystal's hand off the back of his head. But Crystal only pushed it harder. ”Ouch! My neck's gonna break!”

”Ha-ha-ha! You deserve it,” Verrill burst out in laughter.

”It seems like someone wants to be punished again,” Kaiden glared at him like an evil villain, to which, Callan tensed up.

”N-no boss. I'm kidding. I-I won't do it again,” Callan sobbed, begging for mercy.

Hora and I ended up laughing. It was funny how the brawny one was trembling in fear of Kaiden who was leaner than him. It seemed that the evil one met a greater evil. Oh well, like what Verrill said, he deserved it. What he did was pretty rude considering it was our first time meeting.
