Chapter 35: Chapter 35 FIGHT ON

Rubin fidgeted, his lips instinctively curved in a sheepish smile while he stole glances at Laura whose eyes were darted and slightly biting on her lips– lost for words.

"What were you thinking?" She mumbled in a near whisper as if Mya could hear her; Rubin gesticulated with creased brow.

Mya gazed at him, edge on with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" She queried, sounding a bit skeptical.

Rubin muttered as if to say something but nothing came in mind. "Um–" He fumbled while his mind haunted for an escape. Just then, Laura noticed Alixies in the distance; heading towards the Canteen.

"Alixies!" She shouted which instinctively drew Rubin's attention to her direction.

"Excuse me, I've got to go" He hastily uttered, dragging Laura along; which in Mya's eyes was just an air. She stared at his back in outer surprise; her jaw slightly dropped.
