“Stop fooling around!” A women’s voice spoke from behind. Liam and Henry were startled. 

They looked behind and it was Ava Thompson, the diva of college. She had long black hair and light complexion with natural red lips as if she was snow white these feminine features looked more attractive with her muscular and tall physique of 168 cm, she was taller than average girls. She was in Business Administration department, a cool and very smart girl, deserving of the title “Beauty with brains”. She was dressed in high waist jeans, knee long boots and leather jacket giving off dark feminine energy.

She saw the Liam’s hand on Henry’s shoulder and felt uneasy. 

“What are you doing here? You have a class” she said to Liam with a sharp tone. 

“I am bunking it. Have any problem with it?”

“I certainly don’t but the professor would if someone tells him.”

“And who’s going to tell him?”

“That person right behind you, he saw you a while ago and I am pretty sure he has some beef with you. Isn’t he from your major?”

Liam looked behind and suddenly tried to hide his face.

“Oh shit! It’s Peter.” said Liam trying his best to hide.

“The one who complained that you always get pretty privilege and nicknamed you teacher’s pet.” said Henry, looking concerned.

Liam nodded in agreement.

“Well! You still got 15 minutes pretty boy if you go now maybe professor will forgive you.” said Ava to Liam.

“Maybe I should ….okay…… I’ll go…. See you later!”

Liam went off saying this and leaving Ava and Henry behind. Henry was worried about Liam.

“Don’t worry he’ll make it.” Ava comforted Henry.

“Don’t let him tease you like that, if it stays like this than you will only get your hopes up and heart broken.” Ava suggested. 

“You know I really can’t do anything……I just can’t say no to him.”

Ava was Henry’s childhood friend she knew Henry before Liam. She liked Henry but she was too hesitant to confess her feelings to someone who is already head over heels for someone else. 

“Today’s the day of get together of high school…. you going?” She said changing the topic.

“I don’t know….. I don’t think anyone will notice me, you and Liam will probably be the star of the show.”

“Yeah we were academic rivals back than…… always trying to one up each other despite being friends.” 

“Yeah but you always won, even in physical training sessions your scores never went down and it’s probably thanks to you guys I was even able to get in this college or I would’ve been doing part time jobs or any other small gigs to make the ends meet.”

“No you still would have made it anyway, you’re an amazing person, and you just don’t know it.”

 “Oh yeah I don’t think so.” Henry smiled a little while saying this unbeknownst to Henry that Ava cherished his every laugh in her memory as it was something precious.
