After listening to all the details of the party that our classmates organized according to them to raise the spirits of everyone in the class, they had something right about that, after talking about how they prepared everything, came the descriptions of the number of guys that in Anetta and Remina's opinion deserved that they gave them their phone numbers, I lost count of how many were there but they looked happy to have gone to that party. A few minutes later my friend Mina's story jumped into the conversation about how she met a guy named Deimos, a 21 year old blond guy with an athletic build and hazel eyes that didn't stop looking at her since she arrived at the place, she seemed very animated when she told how she was talking to him and they even exchanged cell phone numbers.
There were moments of the conversation when I tried to keep an air of tranquility and attention to what they were saying, but for short periods of time I remembered what happened a few hours ago, the images of the Noctophage, the fight with that beast and Zeylan's look came back to my mind, they came back and left like waves in the sea, I did not expect that my roommates would believe such an extraordinary story that had happened a few hours before in this same place, no matter how much I showed them the symbols in my hands they could not believe such a story, I gave a sigh of resignation and tried to pay attention to what the girls were saying.
"You know what, friends?" Anetta commented animatedly after putting on the flowered pajamas that her mom gave her last Christmas and for which we played many jokes on her. "We should go out this weekend for a girls' night."
Remina stopped brushing her hair for a moment, seemed to consider it at first, then nodded her head in approval to Anetta.
"Well, yes cousin, I'm not in the mood today, I'm in my day! Would you like to go too?" she said sitting on the edge of her bed trying to imitate my voice while making funny gestures with her face.
I threw a pillow at her when she finished making her joke, we all laughed right away until they both looked at me curiously as if waiting for an answer from me, when I noticed that I felt observed I stopped reading the Wattpad story on my cell phone, to fix my gaze on my friends.
"All right, let's go out this weekend but no surprise dates, okay?" I mumbled as I looked at Anetta out of the corner of my eye.
"Okay, I get it but David seemed like the perfect match for you Mera," she replied with a giggle.
"I don't think Mera would have liked to receive a complete guide on how to play Monster Smasher for pc and let's not forget the spoiler of the series you were watching back then, that was decisive to run away from there, wasn't it?" Remina reminded me.
That night after returning from that date, my friends laughed for a while when I told them how bad it was and the many times I said I would never go out with that guy again, I swore never to pass by his faculty building and avoid him at all costs in the corridors.
"Telling me that Zincarla killed Reilus in chapter ten of Outlanders was unforgivable!" I said with a certain tone of anger.
"Hey take it easy, this weekend you can get rid of that anger," Remina told me as she settled into her bed.
"It's better to start sleeping now, tomorrow are the classes with Professor Galvan and you know how he gets when he sees someone nodding off in his class." Anetta suggested picking up the sheets from her bed.
"You're right, the last time someone fell asleep in class we had to write twice as many pages in the essays," I said to both of them.
"Yes!" they replied with a tone of dread.
I put the cell phone on the nightstand next to my bed and turned on the alarm clock to wake us up an hour earlier than we were used to.
"Good night guys!" I said as I closed my eyes and settled into my pillow.
"Good night Mera!" they replied in unison.
The night ended up passing without any news, and I could say that in months I slept peacefully again since those nightmares came back, I did not have any again but for a few moments my mind remembered the moment when Zeylan uncovered his face and the look of his blue eyes, I meditated for a while if I would see him again but the last words "...For your sake it is better that you forget all this .... "When I came back to reality I was on my way to the university in the spark that Remina was driving, about 30 minutes passed until we arrived to the campus parking lot and we saw that a crowd of people had formed the moment we got out of the car, that's when another car that I had never seen before arrived, it looked like one of those sports cars driven by the rich guys in the movies that Anetta used to see on the weekends.
"Wow, when did Metropolitan become a private university?" Remina exclaimed in a sarcastic tone when she saw the expensive car.
"Who knows." replied Anetta with a shrug.
At that moment my heart skipped a beat, of all the possibilities this was the most remote. Zeylan Levi the boy I met in that unlikely event was getting out of the car wearing very different clothes I would say rather normal a hoodie in shades of white with black sections, blue denim jeans and casual sneakers, carrying a backpack on his back, we quickly realized that he was accompanied, the other doors of the vehicle opened. A blond boy came out of the co-pilot's seat had a casual outfit, white t-shirt with a black jacket, black jeans and sneakers in the same color, the last ones to get out were a couple of girls my age, one of them had long brown wavy hair, she was wearing a printed dress with a short black jacket, leather boots and a purse, the other one was a natural redhead wearing a short suit with a slight dark style, she was wearing black lace stockings and lace up heels, they didn't look like people who used to study in a public university, the redhead held on to the blond boy's arm giving the impression that they were a couple.
"This can't be a coincidence...." I whispered as I saw Zeylan close the door of the car and join the other boys of his group heading to one of the university buildings.
"Huh? were you telling us something?" asked Anetta.
"No, it's nothing Netta, it seems to me that they are a little cocky, aren't they?" I answered her trying not to look excited.
I was wondering what my friends would say if I told them that yesterday I met him while a huge monster was attacking me and he saved my life.
"I think both boys are cute, especially the one with the blue eyes," Remina told me, "although the girls look more like models than public university students."
"We better hurry or we'll be late for our first class" suggested Anetta when she saw the time on her cell phone.
We entered the classroom most of our classmates were already sitting in their seats when Professor Galvan entered the classroom accompanied by the two girls I saw accompanying Zeylan in the parking lot, the one with wavy hair looked smiling as she entered the room, however the redhead was indifferent towards us.
"Good morning boys and girls!" she said as she put her briefcase on her desk and took a seat, "This Thursday we start classes with new faculty members, they are transfers from the Rousseau Libier University in our capital city."
The girl in the patterned suit turned her gaze to us and with a cheerful gesture began to speak.
"How are you guys doing? I'm Kiara Luna and it's a pleasure to meet you," she said smiling in contrast to her friend.
"Sharin Almeira..." said the redhead in a dry manner.
The boys in the room seemed to get their libido up with the red-haired girl because of her very flashy black short suit and those lace stockings that caught everyone's attention.
"This one doesn't like to be noticed." Remina commented in a low voice.
The professor silenced the greetings and murmurs of the rest of us and he saw our seats.
"Miss Aldana, Nova and Albaceleste, could you help young Luna and Almeira with a tour of our alma mater?" He said as he grabbed a couple of markers for the acrylic board.
"No problem, professor," answered Anetta diligently.
"It's good to have you young ladies with us, you can take a seat next to your classmates Miss Luna and Miss Almeira," said Professor Galvan pointing with his hand to the empty seats next to us.
"With your permission," answered Kiara.
The two of them walked through the spaces between the seats occupied by our classmates until they reached the empty seats, one to my right and one to Anetta's left, when the girl named Kiara took a seat near my friend she introduced herself politely to the girl, the other one Sharin rolled the chair from her desk and took a seat silently, she took out a notebook in an elegant way and started to pay attention to the class, a few minutes later when I looked at my notes I noticed that some letters appeared on a blank sheet of the notebook, "Greetings girl just awake, no need to say who we are but what we do here, we have been given the order to enter to study in this university and to be your fellow students, in a few words we will be your babysitters because it is possible that the enemy makes his move at some point, so do not make too much fuss ok?.." the last part of the message had a smiley face making the sign of silence, the girl on my right looked at me slyly confirming that she was the one who made the writing magically appear.
Two hours passed and the professor finished explaining his class and asked us to investigate a little more about the subject to complement what had been learned today, he also suggested us to help the new classmates with the notes of the past classes so that they were up to date with the group of students of our faculty, then the other classes passed normally we gave them a guide through the classrooms to the girls every time they had to enter another class, Anetta and Kiara seemed to have things in common and were already talking quietly, their ability to make friends was amazing, but on the other hand it was difficult to make conversation with Sharin, she only asked for directions to the important points of the university every time we went out to the corridors, Remina did not take long to make a joke to the silent girl.
"I wonder what's the name of that blond guy who arrived in that fancy car with the brownhaired, blue-eyed one? " I commented in a flirtatious tone as he held on to my arm.
I could see a certain red color in Sharin's face giving evidence that the question had not gone unnoticed in her ears, I noticed that she had clasped her hands and gave a look of wanting to scratch Remina's eyes out, Kiara also began to pay attention to what my friend was saying.
"If I find him in the cafeteria I will venture to talk to him." Mina continued.
The redhead couldn't hide her displeasure anymore, Mina had managed to piss off the silent girl who tried to look glamorous at all times, I saw that victory smile my friend used to make when she managed to beat a joke to someone, our new companion stood in front looking at the girl holding my arm.
"Haven't you noticed that he's my boyfriend!" I shouted at her with a frown.
"See how easy it is to talk? You just need to have a topic of conversation, don't you think?" Remina commented animatedly. "Don't take it so seriously, I'm not trying to take your boyfriend away from you." she concluded with a satisfied smile.
"Hey Sharin, it's time for lunch, let's meet Zeylan and Erick at the cafeteria, okay?" said Kiara a little embarrassed at the same time that she took his hand, "Excuse us girls."
I felt sorry for what happened, no doubt my friend had overdone it, although it was funny to see that change of gesture in that redhead.
"Sorry Sharin, Remina tends to be a little reckless sometimes" I said to the redhead.
"Hey, what did I do now?" she said pretending to be oblivious.
The dark-suited girl turned around with a resounding silence and started walking stylishly towards the cafeteria.
"You also excuse my friend, she has a hard time interacting with other people besides Erick, Zeylan and me," said Kiara embarrassed. "See you later girls, wait for me Sharin!"
We saw the two of them get lost among the other students who were also going to have lunch in the cafeteria dining room, we looked at each other's faces to confirm that Remina had made the new girl's dislike evident.
"It's about time we went to get something to eat too, girls," commented Anetta.
"I don't think it's a bad idea, besides, I brought salad." She took out of her purse the transparent plastic container with the prepared food. -If you remind me what a good friend I am, maybe I'll invite you.
"Please..." we said at the same time.
"Don't worry silly, I made enough for the three of us." she smiled back.
If there was something Remina excelled at after making jokes was cooking, she had a special talent, no doubt whatever she did in the kitchen it was delicious, very different from the attempted birthday cake that Anetta and I wanted to prepare for her, she ate it and thanked us for making it a good time, She was getting used to never receiving a call from her mother on that date but that day we managed to get a lot of laughs out of her, we approached her and then headed to the dining room in our usual group formation of friends and as we passed through the two doors that opened wide we noticed the bustle of all the students of the university.
"Well, we arrived at rush hour, thank goodness we brought our lunch" I commented as I looked at the long lines in front of the bar where Madame Bussen, as we called her, was a sturdy woman with a strong character.
Mrs. Bussen the head of the dining room kitchen, with the help of her assistants tried to maintain order at the counter, if you were slow in deciding what you wanted to eat you were served green vegetable soup and a side of rice, at the insistence of others you were forced to go to a table and debate whether to go without lunch or eat the dish of punishment, all of which forced you to learn the day's menu by heart and for those who tried to cut in line you had the misfortune of being last in what seemed to be an infinite lineup of students, running the risk of going without lunch.
"That's okay! I'll get the diet sodas and straws." Anetta said, reaching into her purse for money.
"Take these coins, remember that the change machine is not working." said Mina as she gave her the coins.
"Ah! Right, thank goodness you told me about it before, cousin." She smiled before heading to the soda machines.
"We'll be at the usual place." I said out loud to Anetta.
When we approached the table where we always sit to eat I noticed right away that Zeylan and his friends were at the next table, Sharin looked happy sitting next to Erick I could see she was smiling while eating next to her handsome boyfriend, Kiara had her back to me and was trying to have a conversation with him, I noticed she was staring at me and I looked away quickly.
"Look how smiling Miss Indifference looks," Remina said as she put her hand on my shoulder.
