He turned into Devil

It's been a week and Trevor has completely distanced himself from me. I thought his anger was only temporary, I'm not sure if it was. I'm currently in front of the classroom door and still haven't entered. I stared at Trevor's place next to me now that Ali was sitting.

They both changed seats. And this is reason enough to form the answer that he is mad at me. I shifted my gaze to Trevor and he looked away when our eyes were surprised. I smiled bitterly to myself before walking back to my seat.

"Is that a love quarrel?" That was the word that greeted me after Jennifer passed me. I know she's teasing me because it's not unknown to me that they think we're Trevor. Because who wouldn't think so, right? Trevor was so sweet to me ever since we met.

He hugs me every time I entered the classroom and greets me and drives me, even supports me in the clinic whenever I'm sick. He was absent just to have someone take me home. Even me...

I almost believed that he thought of me as his girlfriend.

There was a slight pain in my chest. I can't barely hid it. I laughed sarcastically in my mind as I walked to my seat. I'm stupid. I'm really stupid. Would there be a man coulve be serious about me? Of course... Not? None?! Maybe at this moment... Trevor has a girlfriend so he avoids me completely... He can't even smile whenever we saw each other.

My day complete sucks.

I really like it because it's easy to leave. I should have gotten used to it but I still continue to be stupid and hope that someone will come along who is willing to stay by my side. How many times have I reminded myself? One? two? three? Ugh! I can't even count that.

Sometimes... I ask myself... When will people stop slapping me in the face with the fact that no one wants to join me until the end of my run? When will I not feel that you are missing that you are always there in my life? When will I be their priority?

I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes. I tried to take a deep breath and then let it out. I picked up the book I bought the day before to distract myself. I tried to read but I couldn't focus on that.

In the morning, our professor didn't let us in. My other blockmates were chatting while others were reviewing for recitation in our second subject. I stopped reading my notes to look back at Trevor. We are in the same situation, he is now wearing his glasses while reading.

"Trevor," I called his name, he was sitting in the third seat from my seat.

I know he stopped reading after I called him because his eyeballs stopped moving. He didn't look at me or even answer, but I knew he was waiting for what I had to say because he hadn't continued reading yet. I decided to stand up and approach him. I sat next to him and just like before, he never looked at me.

"Can your reviewer take a look? I just want to see if I forgot to put any terms in my reviewer." I asked him. He didn't speak but he handed me his reviewer. My eyes were on the two reviewers but my attention was on him.

I tried to find a difference between our two reviewers but I couldn't find anything. I can't react and initiate a topic with him.

"Take that to your seat and give it back to me when you're done." He said with finality.

My lips parted because of that... Little by little, my chest was getting hot from the pain. I stood up before he even saw the tears. Just the way he talks...

I feel that he is angry with me. His anger towards me is so deep that I can't guess what the reason is.

I sat in my seat and after five minutes, I stood up again to give it back to Trevor. I took another deep breath to gather the courage to talk to him. I also forced my own smile to look happy in front of him.

I walked in Trevor's direction and as I approached him he was just looking at the window. When I got close, I handed the paper to him. "This is it. Thank you." I said as if we are not close. He just took it from me and didn't even smile or even say 'welcome'.

So what I did was just... I didn't leave and just kept standing in front of him. He pretended to be reading something even though I saw the paper he was holding it upside down. I continued to laugh which was the reason he looked up at me. I cringed my nose.

"Your paper, it's um... upside down." I was about to tease him with a smile but so that he wouldn't be affected at all.

He didn't pay attention to me. He didn't laugh at me and he just looked down as if he was irritated with me that's why... I held his chin tightly and lifted it up. I made sure that now our eyes will be right and now he will talk and tell me his problem.

"Why are you mad at me?" That was the first question that came out of my mouth. But his answer... He shook my hand very hard to remove it from his face.

He was really angry with me because he was still standing and seemed to be avoiding me. And that act of him made me remember something... That he is like other people here and there to me.

"Can you please, Sherin?! Don't bother me anymore and don't come near me. I will definitely shift a course if you'll not stop! So is it okay? Now?! If you don't want my life to turn like a fucking mess...pretend like we're not close to each other." His voice was tinged with anger as he walked out of the classroom.

My mouth fell open and I couldn't stop my tears from falling. I feel my chest getting hotter and hotter with pain and anger. He shouted at me. Right, he shouted at me. It was as if... my guardian angel turned into a devil so quickly.

I can feel the pairs of eyes staring at me now and I can't look at them anymore. I was filled with shame. I felt so ashamed because of what Trevor did to me. Trevor is a good looking man... Rich and smart. While me... I am not too good to be paired with him, if it wasn't for Cedrick... I wouldn't have experienced billionaire-like wealth.

I was like one of those college women whom he rejected. I feel like people around me are judging me and think I'm chasing crazy after Trevor. That I am flirtatious and only clinging to him to finally have the wealth and fame.

"That's good of you." Anger rose in my chest when I heard that from one of my blockmates.

I was about to answer him but suddenly someone got ahead of me, "Stupid. Trevor is the stupid one." It was Seyah's voice.

My tears started to fall at the same time because of the mixed emotions that gathered in my chest. I'm sad.

Embarrassed. angry And above all. Crushed. I never thought Trevor would do that. My whole thought... he is different from Cedrick.

But after he did it... I can say it's no different. Men are really the same.

I don't know why he is acting like that now. Because usually, men avoid when they get something from a woman. Often it's when they kiss it... Or maybe it's when they touch it. But Trevor?

He did get nothing from me. Even one of them I didn't give him anything that's why I couldn't fully understand the reason for his anger.

I sat in my chair and leaned back. I bent down so that my hair covered the side of my face while crying. Someone stood beside me and tapped my shoulder. "Let it go," said Seyah.

"That's the way to become famous. Maybe all women knows that they have feelings for him... He will let go..." And just like that, I finally knew the answer.

Maybe Seyah is right. Maybe Trevor already feels that I have some feelings for him, so he is now avoiding me and acting like he's angry with me... Like he's right here with me. If that's what he wants... I'll give it to him. I will give him what he wants. I will ignore him and only talk to him when the topic is about school. I will not insist on any topic with him because that is what he wants.

I don't even smile anymore.... What for? Just to make him angry? To push him away from his dream and change course? I must be very bad, right? He might even curse someone like me just because he didn't reach his dream. I don't want anymore. It's tiring that two men want to swear at me one day. They pity me too much. They are terrible.

When we had a break, Seyah accompanied me so I wouldn't be alone. Because he knows that Trevor is the only one with me every time we break and no one else. "There we go!" Seyah energetically pointed to the empty table inside the cafeteria, which was next to Trevor's table.

I didn't smile and just showed a poker face face. I stood up straight and confidently walked towards the table he pointed to. I chose to sit in the other seat

where Trevor and I will never turn our backs. A chair of our table and a chair of their table that Trevor is currently using are almost touching.

Seyah stood next to me. "Tangina you knew before! I almost threw up!" Seyah laughed out loud and so did I. I almost coughed because did he even need to say that? The other students who are eating are already looking at us!

"Yes, then?" I carefully put down the tray and sat down.

"That's because! This professor Dela Peña is a badass! I was shaking from the recitation earlier. It's good that you whispered your answer to me. It's really strange but good to have a smart friend!" She giggled.

I made an 'o' mouth reaction. "Wow. We're friends now?" I asked him sarcastically.

"Why? You don't want it? Someone left you there oh—"

He stopped talking when I elbowed him. So much chatter and so much noise! I don't want Trevor to think that Seyah and I are talking about him. This is the same as Seyah, yes and I accept her behavior but why should she be yelled at?!

"Hi," The pasta stopped when a man sat down in front of us.

Seyah elbowed me and then typed something on her cellphone. I frowned as I looked at him, his cell phone was under the table and he seemed to want me to read what he was typing there, so that's what I did. 'God girl! It's Ian! The team captain of the basketball team! Gosh! Grab it! You seem the type!' That's what I read on his cellphone.

I grimaced until I heard the voice of the man in front of me again, he was sitting in the other seat where he and Trevor had their backs to each other. "Hi," The guy greeted again.

Seyah elbowed me. "It said hi." he said.

I chewed the pasta first before answering him with... "Who's there?"

He laughed at my reply. And I can say that his smile is really handsome. Here we are again in the famous. "Cool. I love the way you greeted me." he said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Love immediately." Seyah again and drank from her glass.

"So to answer your question... I am Ian VillaVergara," He introduced himself formally and extended his right hand to me.

I wiped the side of my lips with a handkerchief. Still not taking his hand.

"Course?" I asked.

"Legal." I looked up at him after he answered.

I shook hands with Ian. "Sherin Sanchez, Political Science." I answered with a smile on my lips.

"Second year right?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," I gave him a slight nod. "So you?" I asked.

"Third." he said and was now smiling widely.

"You can freely reach out to me if you're having a hard time with your subjects. I am free. Just... for you." He made a toss using his cup of coke.

I raised my glass too. "Okay?"

Seyah pretended to cough. "I hope me too! I hope there's a guy like that to me too. Can anyone please volunteer?" Seyah elbowed me again and looked at Ian.

"Actually, Sherin doesn't need help anymore, she is smart, isn't her? So just teach me, Ian! Aren't you going to ask me? I also need an assistant in acads."

The man only laughed as he shook his head, staring at my face.

"That's right. You're both future lawyers. That's goods. Fight for your love for the future. Don't be like others who just back off and retreat and suddenly won't talk to you without knowing what the reason is." Seyah drank again after saying that as if she was listening.

I was about to shut him up because whatever he was talking about, he said your love and that's not what this man came for and he was going to say I'm assuming but Ian suddenly spoke. I was even preceded.

"Well, we can definitely do that in the future." he said comfortably and proudly that he made Trevor stand up behind him and I could feel him walking away angrily.
