Medicine Department
Rainnes' POV
We were first asks by our Seniors to line up according to gender before choosing our partner for a game and in just a que he was pulled by Kaiden.
"Your quick in that part." We both laugh and he gives me water.
"I know you want to be my partner too."
"Of course! Anyway, am so excited for this party."
"For you to look for your prince charming?"
"No, of course not! There's no prince charming except for you and my dad."
"At least, am considered. What do you think Madi's doing right now?"
"I think, she'll be friends of everyone in her department. It's her, everyone loves Madi."
Then we were cut by our senior to gives us instructions for the first game and that is to state all the things that you know about your partner in just 1 minute. They were given 2 minute to talk to each other and 1 minute to state it in front and without any hint it's not hard task for them since they knew each other since Junior, so surely they will win this game.
Times up and they volunteered.
"Okay, let us have the first pair here. They really look good together, very pretty and smoking handsome. Name please."
"Hi everyone, my partner here is Rainne Eliza Henderson, turning 18 this month, she loves cat and she has 1 named, Snow. She loves color green, she loves baseball, she can play piano, guitar, drums and violin, she also have a fiancée. That's all and I hope you like my description to my partner. "
" Wow! You really have a sharp memory for you to remember it all. O well boys, sorry but Miss Rainne is not available anymore. Okay your turn Ms. Beautiful! "
" Thank you for that wonderful introduction of my life, Mr. Kaiden Hayes."
Then I smiled at him with the thought of slaughtering him right now.
" Well, Kaiden is good at sports since he can wear any sports outfit because they're owning a sports apparel. He loves to exercise, to travel, to plant flowers and he has a green hand everyone, you can ask him to dig your garden. Most importantly he is my bestfriend. "
Everyone laughs and shout to change partners. Kaiden is giving her a deadly look and she just smile.
"I think that's how it explains the facts that you have shared but it's not allowed okay, so I'm sorry but you two are disqualified."
We both smiled at our Seniors and our fellow freshmens before sitting down.
"You ruined it."
"No, you did. Who gave you permission to announced that I'm engaged? I hate you."
"Because everyone is drooling over you, they have the right to know that you are not available."
"Then let them. I still hate you."
"it's okay because you cannot hate me for one single day."
Then a man raise his hand and stand up.
"Can we changed partners? So that they will be both given a chance."
"It's okay and better. Okay, Kaiden move here and Preety boy move besides Rainne you only have one minute to know your partner."
It was so awkward! He keeps on looking and smiling at me that send me chills. Well he is handsome, like a prince charming but No... No... He is just handsome but just the same with him.
The guy started to give facts about him and she tries to memorize it all and after it's her turn.
After 1 minute
"Alright! Let us have Rainne here and her partner."
"Hi again, I want you all to meet Axel Mendez. He's a football player since Junior year and accepted in our University too. He has 5 dogs in London and 1 here. He migrated here from London and according to him, he is single." I smiled at our senior and him before handling him the mic.
" Thank you, Rainne. " He smiles at me
" As you all know she is Rainne Eliza Henderson but aside from the one that is mentioned, I will state first the obvious that she is naturally born beautiful. As you can see, she doesn't have heavy make up and that really is my type. "
Is he insane? I look at Kaiden and he has this wide smile in his lips.
" Alright! What an early confession from you. Thank you very much, you may now take a sit. Let us have the others."
We both sit down without looking at each other but I know that my face turns into red because of what he says.
"You don't need to lie." I said without looking at him
" I am not lying" he moves his face to mine and I freak out that's why I involuntarily move away.
"Don't do that"
"You really are beautiful, Rainne. I think you're the best reason for me to stay here."
"What?"
"I am planning to transfer because this place doesn't suit me but when I saw you, I changed my mind."
He gives me a wide smile, a smile that is very captivating and charming.
"Whatever! You heard my bestfriend Kaiden right? I'm engaged and if you don't want to see him angry you will stay away from me."
"We'll see that. I'm very persistent when it comes to someone I like."
There's a lot of games that involves partner of two and a group. Sadly our seniors did not allow us to join a group that we already knew from our previous year.
I always end up with Axel and I don't know why but it seems like our seniors are making their moves.
As the games is over we are now gathered to have our shot with our groupmates and honestly speaking it gives me cold sweat.
"Here is your tequila and beer, enjoy guys! Then later on we will be showing the talents of one of your member and the winner will win the luxury room for tonight, Goodluck!"
Everyone is shouting the names of their representative.
"Who will be our representative?" A girl wearing a thick glass says who's name is Anna.
"Let us have, Rainne since she is good in music." Thegut named Jude suggested and I just give him a sweet smile.
"But I think it's too common and boring." I say
"I agree, maybe we can have an interpretative dance while Rainne is playing her istrument." Geneve suggested
"That's a good idea, but who will dance?"
"You and Angel. Angel is a good dancer and I think you can easily learn from her."
I smiled at him giving him a hint that he deserves it for being to tacky.
"Sure. I don't mind, this is for our group comfortable sleep later." He smiles back at me
"Deal then. Let us have our first shot first as a group before the practice." Lloyd says while pouring tequela in a glass shot.
He handed the shot one by one and when it reach me, I don't know what to do.
"I can't."
"C'mon, it's just one shot. It's tradition here, Rainne and everyone needs to follow." Geneve says
"I really can't!" I am going to put down the glass when Axe grabs the glass and drink the tequila.
Everyone was shocked
"I'll take her shot. She says she can't and not she don't want, she has her reason why she can't." Then he gave the glass to Lloyd.
Everyone looks shocked and feeling strange in Axel.
"Alright! Let's continue the fan, sorry about that Rainne."
Lloyd apologizes to me and continue to serve drinks to the whole group.
"Thank you!" I whisper to him
"Your welcome! Let's get some air?"
I nod at him and we excuse ourselves from everyone together with Angel who says that she will follow in a minute.
We headed to school open field and sit there.
"Why did you do that?" I look at him and he smiles without looking at me.
"Every person has their reason and I know you have. Besides I have noticed that Kaiden keeps on looking at you the moment the alcohol was mentioned."
"Thank you again."
My phone rings and when I check it, it's Gavin.
"I'll just answer this." I stood up and move a little from Axel
"Don't forget that you're not allowed to drink." Gavin says from the other line
"I know, I did not drink."
"Good."
"Why do you care?" am kind of pissed off because he's pretending again.
"I'm not! I just don't want to be blamed again if ever something happens to you. So you better behave and take good care of yourself." Then he hangs up
With that I felt my tears on my cheeks and I started to cry. Why does he have to ruin everything.
"Hey." Axel stood up and reach me "Are you alright?"
I sit down and he follows then I sob on my knees.
Axel started to sing a song "A thousand years" first I think of what is he doing then I realize that his voice is beautiful and it really calms me.
Until I realize that I stopped from crying and just listening to him while looking at him
"Why are you doing this?"
Then he stops from singing before laying down the field.
"Becasie I like you."
"Stop joking, will you? I hate boys and above all I hate pretentious one." I stood up and he grab my hand that makes me stop.
"I did not ask you to like me to, I just answer your question. I like you, Rainne and I don't know why. I just meet you today but all the facts about you makes me feel this way I feel like I need to protect you at any cost."
"I don't know what to say."
He stood up and slowly walks away before waving his hand in the air
"I like you, Rainne!" Then he shouts before facing me. "That's how I feel about you."
When am about to say something, we heard someone calls us, it's Geneve.
"Hey guys. What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for Angel, where is she?" I asks
"Actually am here to inform you that Angel got sprained, so we need to change our plan. Maybe you can sing too Rainne?"
"What? No....... Wait! Axel, he will sing and I will play the guitar."
"Why me?" Axel walks towards us.
"Because you like me, right? Since you like me, you will do anything to give me a comfort sleep in a luxury room."
Geneve was shocked and speechless. Her gaze goes back and fort to me and Axel Then I notice him smiling while massaging his nape.
"Deal. I'll sing, we'll just practice." He looks at Geneve
"O? Of course. I'll go inside and inform them. Take your time..... O I mean we'll start in 30 minutes."
Then Geneve run as fast as she can and leaves us two.
"I'd didn't know you have that kind of side, very witty tho." He grabs my arm and we walk toward the music room
Music Room
We practice the song "Love yourself" I decided to play violin to make it more unique and one thing is for sure, he has a very beautiful voice.
He is very charming and sweet. I just don't know if what he is saying is true.
"I think it's enoght, I know we can win this one."
I put the violin inside the bag before putting on my jacket. Axel walks towards me and offer his hand.
"Lets win this"
I grab his hand and we both smile before heading to the front door but when he tries to open the door, its locked. We tried so many times but it's not working, we even tried to use the window but we're in 3rd floor. I remember my phone, I dialed Kaiden's number but he is not answering and then I have no choice but to call him but when he picks up his phone, mine suddenly turned off.
"It's lowbat." I slide my phone inside my pocket and sit on the floor.
Axel joins me
"I'm sorry." He hands me paper airplane that he keeps on folding while I'm on the phone awhile ago.
.
."For what? It's not your fault that we are locked here." I throw the paper plane and it landed on the top of the organ.
"Because I promise to give you a comfortable sleep tonight but here we are stocked in the Music room."
I smiled at him
"No one wants this. Let's just hope that they will realize that we are missing and I hope Kaidens 's notice to."
"I hope so too." He stood up and gets the cushions from the seats and arrange it on the floor.
"What's that?"
"I'm trying to give you a comfortable sleep. Come here, lay down and rest for a while."
"I'm okay."
"I insist, this is not as soft as your bed but it will do."
I smile at him and lay down on the cushions.
I heard him sing a song that sounds so sweet to me, it really makes me relax and little did I know, I drifted into sleep with the sound of his voice lingering in my mind.
Law Department Welcoming Party
Gavin answered his phone but the call ended before he says anything.
Damn that girl! She's an expert when it comes to ruining things, he slid his phone back inside his pocket and goes back to his group. His going to make this University year worth it and he will not let that damn girl ruined everything.
"So tell me, do you have a girlfriend?" The girl with a a very charismatic eyes asks him
"No, I don't do girlfriends. It's not my thing." He replies while drinking his beer.
"Wow. So I can be with you anytime I want?"
"Sure but then I hate pathetic girls, so better not fall for me." The the girl clings her arms to Gavin.
"You want to go somewhere private?"
"I like the idea.." But before they finally headed outside, a familiar girl calls him
"Your fiancée wouldn't like this, Gavin."
It's his sister Eleona.
"Excuse us for a while ." Then I walk pass though them and go outside, noticing that Eleona is following me.
"You're here staying up all night with that girl and ignoring my calls."
"What's your problem now? Am having fun, you know? Besides this is Law Departmern, you don't belong here."
"Having fun? While your fiancée is nowhere to be found?"
"What? What do you meant missing?"
"Kaiden called me because your not picking up your phone, asshole."
"That's enough, Eleona. I swear!"
" What? For God's sake, Gav will you just be a good fiancée to Rainne?"
"Here we go again. Just tell me where she is, she really knows how to gets attention."
"Gavin!" She shout
"Eleona, just tell me what's going on."
"She's practicing with her other group mate at around 8:30 for the talent show but when it's time they are not in the auditorium and no one can reach them, Kaiden is already looking for her."
"She gives me a missed call like around 11 but whe I answered she turned it off and it's already 3 in the morning."
"That's why we're so worried. Look for her, Gav. We don't know what happened to her and you know that she......"
Gavin cut her off, because he hates hearing facts about Rainne.
"I'll find her, call Kaiden and update me."
Times passed and it's already 5 am, Gavin and the others are looking for Rainne and that good for nothing guy who took Rainne into a place they all don't know.
They search everywhere then Gavin remembers a thing about Rainne and about what his sister mentioned.
He went to Medicine Building and go to third floor. He makes sure that he's with the janitor to open up each rooms and when they are finally there he slide the key and open the door.
There he saw Rainne laying on the cushions and her head is on the lap of that stupid guy who was leaning on the wall, sleeping.
He slams the door and walk out the building then he saw Kaiden walking in his direction.
"Hey Gavin, have...."
"She's in the music room, sleeping peacefully. Next time she got missing again, never ever contact me." He strolls out of Kaidens ' sight and walk towards the parking lot to drive his car and go home.
Music Room
Rainne and Axel woke up because of the sound of slammed door, and there they saw Kaiden standing next to door way
"Kai..... O God, finally." I stood up and hug Kaiden.
"What are you two doing here? We looked for you everywhere."
"Sorry....." Rainne puts a puppy face on Kaiden
"That won't work!You know that... " He says pointing Rainnes' forehead but Rainnes is looking at him likes stopping him to say something.
"Were locked up here last night, her phone is lowbat and my phone is inside my car."
"I see, let's go. I'm sure everyone is worried about you, I already inform Eleona."
"Thank you, Kaiden. Ahmmm. Let's go, Axel."
They head out of the building and proceed to cafeteria.
"I'll get you food." Kaiden offers and Axel joins him
When the two is in the line, she saw Eleona walking in her direction and sit in front of her.
"Are you okay, Rainne?" She's holding my hand and caressing it
"I'm fine, Eleona. You don't have to worry about me. I heard from Kaiden that you were in the Music room all night, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yah, I'm good and besides I'm with a friend, so it's not that scary."
Kaiden sit next to Eleona and Axel sit next to me, then he handd me a box of sterelize milk.
"Thank you! By the way, El this Axel from our department and Axel this is Eleona from English department."
"It's nice to meet you, El. I'm Axel Mendez."
"Nice to meet you too." Then they both smiles at each other.
"By the way, how did you find them?" El ask Kaiden.
"Actually it's not me, it's Gavin."
When I heard that, I feel like throwing up.
"Are you alright?" Axel ask
Then I just smile and nod before looking at Kaiden asking for explanation.
"Yah, he actually looked for you all night." Eleona says while smiling at me but with a worried face.
"He seems pissed by the way."
"I knew it. You shouldn't have called him, you shouldn't have ask him to look for me."
"Who's Gavin?" Axel asks full of curiosity
"My brother and Rainnes' fiancée."
"Ow. So it's true that you are already engaged."
I smiled at him and nod before looking at El and Kaiden.
"He deserves to know, after all......" I cut him off
"After all he doesn't care about me, where is he? I'm going to apologize." I stood up
"Rainne!" Eleona holds my arm
"I don't want to owe him anything. Tell me where is he?"
"He went........"
Then I saw Gavin laughing with his two bestfriend and with some other girl. That guy never really cared about me.
"Gavin?" I walk in his direction
"Hey Rainne" Blake and Seth greet me
"Hi... Can we talk? Outside?"
"Why not talk here, I just get in."
"but......"
"Then don't talk to me."
"Gavin!!!!!!" Kaiden shout and stood up from his seat
"Go with your friends, I don't have time for you." Then he walks pass thru me
I can feel my chest pain and it makes me hard to breath, then before I know it I already fainted in someone's arms.
