Just as Kaylee was almost reaching the campus library, someone calling her name made her yearn to find a book delayed once more.
Why did she find it so hard to go to the library? Blame on the author.
Author: Why me again? T.T
Then who is at fault? Right when she just came out of her class, one of her friends invited her to go to the dance building. Her friend was in love with one of the hip-hop dancers at the dance hall. But because he did not dare approach her, the boy often asked Kaylee to accompany him.
After being satisfied to see the mock-performance of his friend's dream girl dancing so skillfully, his friend let her go, and Kaylee continued her footsteps to the library.
But a teenage girl stopped her and asked her to teach her guitar. After making an appointment to provide free private lessons, Kaylee returned to continue her visit to the library.
Now she only needed to reach out for her hand and stepped through the library door… but she had to cancel it because someone was calling her name again.
Kaylee felt like she was on a super close trip but felt so far away having to stop here and there. She had no one but the author to blame.
Author: T.T
Hhhh… Kaylee could only sigh in resignation and then looked at a teenage girl who was one of the singing class students.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Mr. Black was looking for you earlier."
"…" Kaylee wasn't too surprised to hear that.
Since she was entering her first day at this campus, one of the lecturers at this campus called her into his office. And that person was none other than Mr. Declan Black!
Does the man know her disguise? Did the man suspect her?
Kaylee did not want to take a risk, and she was trying her hardest to avoid the man. After all, Declan Black wasn't the one who teaches her class subjects, so she was pretty sure Kaylee didn't need to see him.
She was always looking for ways to avoid Mister Black's summons and managed to find the right reasons not to see him. She even often hid on the rooftop where no one could find her, nor would she meet the man by accident.
When she found out that Mister Black was taking time off due to running a family company out of town, Kaylee breathed a sigh of relief and could roam around the campus freely without needing to be careful not to bump into the man.
After two months of not hearing from the man, Kaylee thought Declan had given up seeing her. But it turned out… that man was looking for her as soon as he returned to teaching at campus?
What did the man want from her? Could it be he noticed her disguise?
What should she do then?
"Nick, I heard Mr. Black has been looking for you for days at the start of the term, is that true?"
"I think so."
"Did you do something wrong?"
"Not that I can think of. Why?"
"Ah, I see. In that case, you better be careful with him. It looks like you are his target this time."
"Do I want to know what that means?"
The girl turned left and right to make sure no one heard their conversation. After confirming there wasn't anyone in the library area's corridor, the girl leaned over to Kaylee's ear to whisper something secret.
Kaylee was ticklish because this was the first time someone had whispered directly in front of her ear. The girl's gust that hit her cheek made her want to move away, and the voice that was whispered very slowly and assault her ear hole made Kaylee suddenly want to laugh as if someone was tickling her body.
Even though all inches of her body wanted to dodge, Kaylee persisted and listened to the girl's whisper carefully.
The moment the girl finished her sentence, Kaylee's eyes were wide as if they were about to come out of their place.
"WHAT?! Mr. Black is gay!?"
"Shhh!" The girl immediately hushed Kaylee by putting her index finger to her lips. "Don't be so loud."
"Why do you think that?" According to her, Kaylee couldn't believe this fact at all because the man who came to visit her house a few months ago did not convey the impression of a same-sex lover.
"Everyone also knows about this. Mr. Declan was always mean to girls but incredibly nice to boys. He also drops marks on girls he doesn't like but always gives boys good marks."
"…"
"There have been many victims, and strangely enough, all our male friends are looking for a way to win over Mr. Black. If you can win him over, he would give you a free short cut ticket pass to graduate from this campus."
"Impossible. He doesn't have the power over this campus."
"He has it. He is the biggest benefactor on this campus."
"…"
"I don't know if you are lucky or not. If you are his favorite student now, your college life will run smoothly. But…"
"But what?"
"You will be invited to sleep together at the end of each semester."
"…"
"I understand how you feel. I will help you this time and tell him that you have an important assignment from your professor. But I can't help you with the next one."
Kaylee did not comment and let the girl leave her. She was not even interested in going into the library to find the book she wanted.
Is it true that Mister Declan Black is gay? Was the man trying to find her not because he was suspicious of her disguise, but because he liked her as a man?
She was too shocked to the point she no longer knew what she could say. She was speechless, and it seemed like her campus life was not as peaceful as she thought.
Kaylee: Author! Don't make my life complicated, please!
