Chương 10: Three Saddest Love Stories

Since Selene returned to the past, she had no choice but to live her life again as a college student in her last year. After talking with Eros, she fixed herself to attend her morning class.

Eros was also with her, following her going to her classroom. Only Selene could see Eros. Other people couldn't see him with their naked eyes.

When they arrived at her classroom, she chose to sit at the last seat in the back row. She felt weird after seeing her classmates again. She knew what would happen to them five years from now.

A mischievous smile appeared on her face as a playful thought popped up in her mind. Eros who saw her smiling like that raised his eyebrow while looking at her suspiciously.

"Why are you smiling like a fool?" Eros asked her, sitting at the vacant seat next to Selene. Fortunately, no one was occupying that seat today.

Selene leaned on Eros and answered him in a low voice. "I think I can use my knowledge in the future to earn an extra allowance or something I can benefit from my classmates in the future."

"What do you mean?" Eros glanced at her with confusion.

" I'm thinking of putting up a foretelling booth during University Day and pretend that I have a vision and I can predict what will happen to them five years from now!" Selene winked at Eros after saying that.

Eros: "..."

'This girl… I couldn't comprehend her line of thoughts sometimes,' Eros thought to himself while shaking his head helplessly.

"Can I do that at least? Am I allowed?" Selene asked Eros expectantly.

"I'm not sure. It's okay as long as you will not tell others about my existence! That's the most important thing regarding our contract. Remember?" Eros responded to her.

"I know. Don't worry, my cute little angel. I will never forget it," she whispered cheerfully.

After a few minutes, Selene's professor arrived in the classroom. He would be teaching an Accounting Subject today. Selene was taking a course about Business Management because she would assist Renz in managing their Company once she graduated.

She was already his fiancee. Once she graduated from college then the two of them were getting married. However, the marriage would not happen this year since Selene's grandma would die.

When the class started, Selene felt bored in her seat since she was already familiar with this subject. She became sleepy just listening to their professor. The class discussion today focused more on Mathematics since this was an Accounting Subject.

Unlike Selene, Eros was listening attentively to the professor as if he was one of the students. This was one of the things he enjoyed while he was on his mission.

He got to experience how humans lived in this world. He was also learning the human ways, that's why he could easily adjust, mingle and blend with them. Cupids could socialize easily with people, unlike grim reapers who could only interact with the soul of the dead people.

When Eros turned to his side, he saw Selene who was on the verge of sleeping. Her chin was placed over her hand while pretending to be listening to their professor. But the truth was she was about to doze off soon.

Eros could feel her boredom so he decided to entertain Selene and engage in a conversation with her.

"Hey sleepyhead, wake up! Do you want to be sent out from the class by your professor?" Eros slightly patted her right cheek.

Selene turned to his side pouting. "I already learned this subject five years ago. I'm familiar with the topic. I can't help it. I feel sleepy." Selene lamented to her cupid.

Some of her classmates who were seated on the next row in front of her turned around to look at her when they heard her talking. They wondered what she was saying and to whom she was talking.

"Huh? What did you say, Selene? Are you talking to me?" One of her classmates asked her. She heard her talking but it's not clear so she didn't get what she was saying.

Selene bit her lower lip. She forgot that no one could see Eros aside from her. She looked like she was talking to herself or to the air. People might mistake her as a crazy woman.

Selene scratched her face and smiled at them sheepishly. "Oh, it's nothing. Don't mind me. I'm just memorizing some formulas that I remember."

Her classmates just nodded at her. They believed her alibi. Soon, they brought their attention back to their professor.

'Whoah, that's dangerous. I should be careful when talking to Eros. People might think that I'm crazy while talking to myself,' Selene heaved a sigh of relief.

Eros somehow knew what Selene was thinking. He tried to hold his laughter. Then she saw Selene writing something in her notebook. When she was done, she simply showed it to Eros.

[ You can talk to me. I can write my response in this notebook. At least, I won't be sleepy if I will talk to you. ]

Eros nodded his head after reading her notes. Selene wrote another message on her notes.

[ I'll teach you some Mathematics jokes. Do you wanna hear some? ]

Since her class was about Mathematics, Selene decided to tell him some jokes about Math.

"Hmm, sure."

Selene's eyes lit up. She just found a better way to kill her boredom. She was glad that Eros was there. Using her notebook and a pen, she could relay her message to him without worrying about getting caught by their professor.

Selene: [ Eros, why did Math book look sad? ]

Eros paused for a moment, thinking of the possible answers but he didn't have any ideas.

"Why?"

Selene: [ Because it has so many problems! HAHAHAHA ]

It was Selene who laughed at her own jokes. Eros just watched her with a look of amusement in his eyes. Then she wrote another one.

Selene: [ What do you call friends who love Mathematics? ]

"What?" Eros asked

Selene: [ AlgeBROs! Hahaha ]

Eros: "???"

Selene covered her mouth to stop herself from making a sound. She was fighting the urge to laugh out loud. She continued...

Selene: [ What did Zero say to eight? ]

Eros had no idea as well. "What?"

Selene tried her best to hold her laughter while writing the answer. [ Nice belt! ]

"Eh??" It took fifteen seconds before Eros understood her joke. Then he finally smiled at her. Selene had the urge to pinch his cheeks upon seeing his charming smile.

'Aww, my cupid is really cute and adorable!'

[ How about you? Do you know any jokes? ]

Eros shook his head and said, "Not a joke. But a trivia. Wanna hear it?"

Selene bobbed her head frantically. She was so eager to hear some trivia from Eros. She wondered what trivia an angel like him had learned. She was curious.

Eros looked straight into her eyes before speaking.

"Math tells us three saddest love stories."

Selene watched him in fascination. "Really? What are they?" she asked him in a very low voice that only the two of them could hear.

She was not surprised if he would talk about love since he was a cupid. But she wondered how he could relate it to Mathematics.

Selene was now all eyes and all ears on him.

Eros lifted his forefinger and said, "Number One, Tangent lines… who had one chance to meet and then parted forever."

He raised his middle finger, "Number Two, Parallel lines… who were never meant to meet."

He raised his ring finger, "Number Three, Asymptotes… who can get closer and closer but will never be together."

Selene was rendered speechless after hearing those words from Eros. He was right, those lines could relate to some people's love stories.

Now, she wondered how her love story would turn out in the end. She just hoped that it would not be the same fate as those three lines Eros had just mentioned to her.

For General Info to understand more about Eros's Trivia:

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart. Parallel lines never intersect. (That's why Eros said they will never meet )

You can also search the Tangent lines and Asymptotes to better understand the concept of Eros Trivia. LMAO. Apology if this author is giving you Math Trivias.

Happy Reading.
