Chapter 1119: In another life (6)

"Can you stop staring at him?" Dageus asked Serefina resentfully. His voice sounded very unpleasant to hear. "He is an asshole," he grumbled.

Hearing how Dageus was badmouthing Jedrek, Serefina glared at him hostilely.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" he asked irritably.

"If you are not my childhood friend, then I am sure I will beat you to nothing," Serefina grumbled, no less annoyed.

"If you were not my childhood friend, do you think I would want to waste my precious time and breath telling you that you are so stupid to think of him?" asked Dageus irritably. He then smacked Serefina's head, hard enough to make the woman groan in pain.

"What are you doing? Looking for death huh?! It hurts, you know!" Serefina rubbed her head.

"Oh, sorry, I thought your head had turned to stone for not listening to other people's words anymore," Dageus said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders indifferently. "After all, I didn't hit you that hard, so don't overreact."

"You hit me really hard, so don't think you didn't hurt me," Serefina didn't want to concede.

"Of course it's not that harsh, there is no way I mean to hurt you."

"Of course it hurts." Serefina glared at Dageus and her green eyes looked so lively.

Dageus liked the spark in Serefina's eyes, especially when this girl thought she could beat him at everything, especially in an argument. Even though in the end Dageus would relent, at least he could see the spark in her beautiful green eyes and that was enough for him.

"YOU TWO OVER THERE! THIS IS A LIBRARY, NOT A FIELD, IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT, GET OUT NOW!" cried the librarian, Mrs. Andrew.

Dageus and Serefina were well known throughout the campus, where they were often seen together.

Even though they were separated during high school because Dageus couldn't enter the same school as Serefina due to insufficient grades, they met again in university.

But, it's not only Dageus, even Jedrek and his fiancé were in the same campus, yet they were both in a different department from theirs.

"Get out you two!" grumbled Mrs. Andrew, when she saw Dageus pulling Serefina's hand to get out of the library.

*** 

"You got us kicked out of the library." Serefina tossed her hair that she had just dyed red and glared at a female student who was glaring at her because she was walking side by side with Dageus.

Yes, this man was handsome, Serefina had to admit that this man was very popular among the girls. 

However, of course Serefina wouldn't say that to Dageus directly, this man's head would only grow bigger.

"Well then, I will be going. Bye," Dageus said lightly and walked away, not giving much thought to the fact that he had just been kicked out of the library.

Well, it wasn't the first time for either of them, so there was nothing to fuss about.

After Dageus left, Serefina intended to return to her classroom, but the female student who had been looking at her with a disapproving gaze earlier came up to her and blocked her way.

Serefina really didn't like this kind of stuff. Especially when the latter and her two friends surrounded her.

"Get out of my way," Serefina said coldly.

They didn't know each other, but that didn't mean the three didn't know Serefina.

"You better stay away from Dageus, seeing you two is really annoying," said Nessie. This girl looked very fierce when she spoke, especially since she had two other friends backing her up.

"Oh, I thought so too," Serefina imitated Nessie's gestures and speech. "It's so annoying when he's around me."

It was the same as saying that it was Dageus who had always clung to her and not the other way around.

"Don't twist my words!" Nessie became very angry because she felt ridiculed. However, her two friends couldn't help her because when they saw Serefina's smile fade and the girl's expression turned serious, she gave a very scary vibe.

Her green eyes seemed to say that they better not touch her, or something bad would happen.

"Why? You like Dageus?" Serefina asked, without taking her piercing eyes away from Nessie, if Dageus had been around, it was certain that the man would have been mesmerized by how 'lively' the look in his little friend's eyes was.

"You… if so, what can you do about it?" Nessie stuttered, she was afraid to look Serefina straight into her eyes, so she looked at Serefina's forehead. "I don't like you being around Dageus."

Serefina snorted, then she grinned. "If you like him, just make a move on him. I didn't expect it, your taste is so bad."

After saying that, Serefina pushed Nessie so hard that she fell to the ground, but the former didn't care at all as she sauntered away, leaving screams behind her, cursing her with harsh words.

Serefina had no time and didn't want to waste her energy on something unimportant.

================ 

"What did you say? Bad taste?" Dageus narrowed his eyes at the girl in front of him who was yawning.

"She pissed me off," Serefina said, while resting her head on her hands on the table. "If she likes you, she should come to you, not to me."

"But, that 'bad taste' is too…" Dageus growled in annoyance, how could Serefina say that so casually?!

"Don't hit me again, I'm sleepy, I don't want to be kicked out of here. I want to sleep."

Dageus and Serefina met in the library to discuss their assignments, but because last night she had lacked sleep, she came to the library early to take a nap.

But, who would have thought that Dageus had arrived earlier and was working on their assignments?

"You should come here to finish this, not sleep," Dageus rebuked.

"We promised eleven, while it's only ten-thirty, so I still have thirty minutes to sleep," Serefina muttered with her eyes closed.

Seeing Serefina who seemed unable to hold back her sleep, Dageus finally fell silent and let her sleep.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock that he intended to wake the girl, but after several times of calling her name, Serefina didn't show any signs of waking up.

The midday sun shone on Serefina's face and made her frown, thus what Dageus did was; stacking the books right in front of her face to block out the sun and allow her to sleep a little longer.
