After his introduction, Flynt walked to the back of the room. Being tall, it made sense for him to sit at the back of the classroom.
It was just her luck that the only seat available in the class was the one next to Raeleigh.
Flynt took a seat and spared Raeleigh a glance. He brief flick of his dark eyes looked her up and down before he dismissed her and looked forward.
Raeleigh returned the favored. She already had hands full with Jepherson and Zorion. She did not need another complication.
Deanna sneered, "Miss, I would like to swap places with Raeleigh."
To be honest, Deanna wasn't interest in Flynt. It was just that she did not want anything in the way of her brother, Zorion and Raeleigh getting together.
The teacher did not know what to do. Did that mean that Deanna likes Flynt?
The teacher felt that there was no harm in doing that.
Of course, the teacher was willing to give a helping hand to others.
Just as the teacher was about to say something, Zorion said, "I'll swap places with Raeleigh."
While saying that, Zorion stood up before the teacher could say anything. When Raeleigh saw Zorion gathering his books, she had no choice but to follow suit. It was best to stay away from unnecessary troubles. She was just going to do whatever he wanted.
Deanna wore a satisfied smile when Zorion swapped places with Raeleigh.
Flynt did not mind that Zorion had changed places with Raeleigh. On the contrary, he glanced at Zorion and said, "Hey, long time no see."
Zorion was also very polite, "I heard that you've graduated from overseas university. What brings you to Elkton Univeristy?"
There was a sudden dead silence in the classroom. What did Zorion mean?
What was a man, who had just graduated university, doing in an undergraduate class? Why did he not choose to pursue his masters?
Flynt did not answer him and remained looking ahead.
The teacher had no idea what was going on.
There could never be two domineering man in one class.
Soon, the teacher began the lecture class. It was very quiet. The students were usually very serious during the lecture. Once the teacher was done, the students were given time to do the tutorials given.
Raeleigh managed to finished it relatively quickly. So, she used the extra time to read a book. Flynt then said, "Can I please borrow a pen?"
At first, Raeleigh did not respond, but everyone was staring at her. It was only when she lifted her head that she realised that Flynt was asking to borrow her pen.
Raeleigh took a look at her pen and said, "I don't have an extra pen."
"I'll just use that one on your table," Flynt said. Raeleigh thought for a moment and was about to hand him the pen when she heard Deanna say, "Raeleigh."
Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Deanna and asked, "What?"
"Don't be fooled." Deanna looked at Flynt unhappily. Flynt's expression was very calm. He did not say anything and patiently waited for Raeleigh to hand him the pen.
Scarlette immediately snatched Raeleigh's pen away and offered her own pen to Flynt as she said, "Here, use mine."
Flynt glanced at Scarlette and accepted the pen. He lowered his head and began drawing.
Raeleigh took a look at the people around her and realised that they were looking at her.
"I'm done with my tutorial, I'll excuse myself," Raeleigh stood up and went outside. Deanna and Scarlette followed suit.
After the girls left, Zorion looked at Flynt and said, "Just tell me what you need next time. You don't have to ask Raeleigh."
After saying that, Zorion stood up and exited the lecture hall.
Flynt raised his head and watched him leave. Then, he lowered his head and continued to draw.
"Raeleigh, how can you be so naive? In the future, if you see any boys talking to you, just ignore them. Please take into consideration my brother's feelings, alright?" Deanna immediately said when they exited the lecture hall. She exhorted Raeleigh not to talk to other boys.
Raeleigh did not answer, but Deanna kept going on and on about this matter.
Scarlette could tell that Deanna had already set her mind on Raeleigh being Zorion's girlfriend.
After dinner, they went back together. Zorion walked them to the girls' dormitory but did not leave immediately. He went in and sat for a while before leaving.
Raeleigh kept herself busy. It was as if she had a lot of things to do. She did not even noticed that Zorion had been standing, waiting for her. Deanna had no choice but to kick Raeleigh to get her attention as she said, "Look, my brother is waiting for you."
Only then, Raeleigh lifted her head and looked at Zorion.
"Do you mind walking me out?" Zorion was perhaps afraid that Raeleigh would reject him, so he quickly turned around and made his way out the dormitory after saying that. Raeleigh, looked up from her work, stood up and followed him.
Raeleigh felt a little melancholy as she accompanied Zorion out.
This was a girl's dormitory. It was unprecedented for Zorion to come and go freely.
Raeleigh remained silent the whole time as she walked Zorion out. She treated it like it was her duty to walk him out.
However, as they walked, Raeleigh seemed to have noticed Flynt standing below the dormitory building. Zorion followed her eyes and realised that she was looking at Flynt.
Zorion then said to Raeleigh, "Why don't you head back to your dorm?"
