Nicholos Pov
' Holy shit that worked?? '
After he had confessed his feelings back then he intended to take it slow however it was Christine who changed his mind. She kept saying that if he did nothing after that then it would seem as if he was playing with Isabella and instead, he should try to make another move.
' I thought she had just read too many romance novels '
In fact, he was highly sceptical of the whole thing however in the end he still decided to give it a try, it was closer to gambling than anything else, but as she accepted, he found himself stuck on another problem.
" What do I do now though... "
While he had some experience on going out on dates they were all from his previous world not this one and the original Nicholos didn't have any at all, well normal experience at least. Still, he had till Wednesday to inform Isabella so by that time he should be able to figure out something.
....
Nothing, even after an hour and a half of continues thinking his total date ideas where zero. Staring into the sky in a daze the sound of footsteps nearing reached his ears. Turning around he found Christina coming his way.
' What is she doing here? Shouldn't she be in class '
That question was however answered by Christine who stood before him with a guilt ridden look on her face.
" Are you ok? "
" Hmm? "
" The lecture ended but you didn't show up so I got worried that something might have happened "
As Christine explained the situation, he finally realized why she was looking in such a way, she must have thought that he was too tired because of the previous practical which while true wasn't the reason he skipped the lecture.
" Christine "
" Y..yes "
" I asked Isabella on a date "
"Eh..."
" She said yes, so I have been sitting here thinking about where to go "
As Christine registered his words her body started shaking before she outright starting to jump in place her eyes shining with excitement, normally she wouldn't ever exhibit such behaviour in a public place but that didn't seem to matter to her at the moment.
" Really, really... What did you say... Did you do it here...When's the date...are you going to dinner or is it going to be a whole day..."
Hearing Christines's endless barrage of questions Nichilos gave a warry smile as he answered all the questions that he had the answers to.
" Yes, and yes.... I asked her to go on the weekend.... Yes, I did it here.... most probably Saturday.... I still haven't decided "
Nodding her head vigorously at everything he said he genuinely started worrying about her neck, thankfully she started to calm down as she took some deep breaths and sat down.
" Ok... Ok, this is a big deal we first should start by hearing out the plans you have for the date "
As she said so she turned towards me waiting for my reply but as the time started to pass with no reply to her the previous look anticipation slowly became more awkward.
" Sir Nicholos " She called out her tone filled with unease
" Could it be that you don't have a plan "
" .... "
" No way "
Faced with the look of astonishment that Christine was giving him he couldn't help but look the other way even though he felt it was unfair.
' Of course I had no plan, I never thought I'd make it this far in the first place '
" No wait that might be better "
a mutter suddenly came to be causing his subtle musings about his injustice to be cut short.
" What do you mean that's better "
he asked back unsure of what he heard but was met with the face of Christine who seemed to be planning something
" The seemingly cold head of a dark family who is actually sweet and awkward in his date.... "
Hearing the countless mutterings of Christine a single thought crossed Nicholos's
' Was it the right call to tell her '
That was something only time would tell
.....
After the twenty-minute lecture about what to do he finally found himself free thanks to the fact that the next lecture was about to begin.
Entering the classroom he quickly found Jake and Elizabeth who were sitting in a corner faces all red, perhaps noticing him Jake looked at him which he replied to by turning around and subtly gesturing to Christine to get closer.
Seemingly understanding what he was about to do Jake hurriedly shook his head, but Nicholos went on to whisper a couple of words to Christine which caused the later to gasp in shock before looking at them with sparkling eyes.
Like that wasn't enough instead of sitting at his usual seat he moved up sitting right in front of them. Belatedly realising what was happening Elizabeth raised her head staring at the duo who was sitting in front of her especially Christine who kept side eyeing her.
" Eh... Sir Nicholos and Christine this is the first time you had changed you seating " she inquired trying to understand the situation
Looking at her with the same smile as always Nicholos pointed towards Christine before answering
" Well Christine is a lover of romance novels and so am I, so we simply came closer to watch the live performance "
Explaining it such a way Elizabeths face turned redder, while Jake started outright glaring at him who continued to wear his amused smile, this all stopped as Christine finally gathered the courage to speak a shy smile on her face
" Congratulations "
Her words hanging in the air seemed to cool down the heated atmosphere as Elizabeth stared at her which caused her to start talking again.
" Ah... I didn't mean to offend you it is just that you seemed happy, and you are friends with Sir Nicholos, so I wanted to..." She explained before trailing off her face full of embarrassment
Watching her Elizabeth stayed silent before she opened her mouth.
" So cute "
" Eh "
Christine having heard her let out a dumbfounded sound but that didn't stop Elizabeth who clung to Jake and started shaking him
" Did you see that, even when confused she looks cute!! Look her face is getting redder!! "
Yes, that was the reason Nicholos decided to sit beside the new couple this time, while he did want to tease them a bit it was also an excuse for the usually shy Christine to talk to them.
' It didn't matter what she said because Elizabeth would have ate it up either way '
Elizabeth was someone who adored cute things and while Christine may not be a kid her inherent looks and pure reactions made her more adorable than anyone to Elizabeth.
' They were like sisters in the original novel '
Watching them a warm feeling started to spread in his chest, sadly that was cut short by Christine words who was recounting the events of the day under the constant questions of Elizabeth.
" And finally, I was helping Sir Nicholos in figuring what to do on his date with Miss Isabella "
" Wait what!? "
This time it was Jakes turn to stare at her as she finished before slowly turning his head towards him or at least where he used to be after all he had long left the seat having arrived in the front of the class.
' I can feel the glare '
Sitting down he gestured towards Christine who feeling the atmosphere excused herself and left to sit beside him causing a look of regret to flash on Elizabeths face. Thankfully before Jake could decide to do anything the door opened as the instructor came in, however his appearance only caused him more of a headache
' Right this guy also existed ' he thought as he rubbed bridge between his eyes
The traitor of the academy and the one who will cause trouble in the upcoming Academy trip, the man who did all that stood before him, the one who he needs to kill.
