...CHAPTRE 31...

...THE BEGAN PROJECT...

Rosaline realized there was snow stuck to the edge of her hat as she made her way back to Westminster after a long holiday period was finally over. He's sure. Now his face and hands must be flushed, as all his fingers and toes tingled with coldness.

But behind all that. There was excitement in the depths of his heart as he realized that January had arrived, which meant the project that professor Watson said would begin in a few days.

"I hope Reggie is my partner later" he muttered happily.

He gently patted the top of his hat, clearing the snow stuck there as his feet walked into the corridor where everyone again instantly showered him with a cynical look.

Rosaline smiled. Replying and greeting everyone there calmly, acting as if the cynical gaze they threw at him did not bother him at all. Although in reality it is different.

Those gazes still gave her side effects and Rosaline covered it up as much as possible. He unconsciously always clenched his hands, trying hard to calm himself and hold back his tears from coming out.

Well, to be honest he didn't expect this to still happen. He thought, everyone had already forgotten about him and let him live his days like any other student. But, it seems like fate says something else.

That cynical gaze was still pointing straight at him like a deadly shot.

"Well, maybe ignoring it is the best option. As Kaylie said that day, The more you act like you care, the more they

want to crushed you' so, ignore."

Rosaline turned around, facing the other direction only to bring her eyes together with the wall clock that indicated nine o'clock in the morning. Suddenly his eyes widened as he realized that professor Watson's class was about to begin in ten minutes.

Not wanting to be late on her first day of college in the new semester, Rosaline rushed, stepped faster through the corridor and went to her class.

As soon as Rosaline got to the doorstep of the classroom, she breathed a sigh of relief after finding Professor Watson's desk still empty, a sign that the man had not yet come to class.

Oh my god, he's almost late. How could it not be that he immediately got detention on his first day of college. Especially in this new semester?

Rosaline immediately turned her head to the right and left, looking for a seat, until her gaze was fixed on one person who was waving towards her. He squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly who it was.

In an instant, Rosaline's eyes immediately sparkled in excitement upon learning it was Kaylie. He waved back and nodded as Kaylie signaled that there was an empty chair she was deliberately guarding so that Rosaline could sit beside him.

In a hurry, Rosaline ran small, approaching Kaylie. "I think I'm late" he said gasping.

"Well you're lucky professor Watson hasn't come. By the way, what made you so long? I'm almost a moss waiting for you here" said Kaylie, moving her bag to the other side so Rosaline could sit there.

"Well, like old," replied Rosaline, "foolish people who like gossip," He said.

"Did they bother you?" Ask Kaylie.

Rosaline shakes. "No. They just looked at me with their boring eyes. Silence as if judging me."

Kaylie chuckled as soon as Rosaline imitated the gazes of everyone who always looked at her like a camera. Always follow him wherever he goes.

"Maybe it wouldn't hurt if you occasionally poked their eyes one by one, just like you did with the golden money," kaylie recalled Rosaline from the bathroom that day as she glanced at Clark, who was not far from their seat.

Rosaline chuckles. "Maybe it's a good idea. I'll try it next time" he replied.

Suddenly, the class went quiet. Rosaline and Kaylie instantly shut their mouths as soon as they came to their senses and heard hasty footsteps walking closer to class. They know whose footstep it is. Of course, who else if not professor Watson.

"Oh, you're all earlier than me. I think there's someone who's gonna be late for my class today and of course, as always, I'm happy to be in detention. But it doesn't seem to exist, good then."

Professor Watson came with a large box in his hand and placed it on the table. He looked around, and said.

"You can pick the paper as soon as I call your names."

Rosaline sat patiently, waiting for her name to be called. When professor Watson finally mentioned her name, the girl immediately rushed over and stopped in front of the box.

"Take it, Miss Smith," he ordered.

Rosaline nodded and took out a single paper from inside there. He unrolled the paper with a beating heart and said, "number 40 professor."

"good. After all your classes are over please meet me in my room, I'll show you the details of the files on this project."

Rosaline again nodded and walked back to her seat.

"Hows it? What number are you?" Ask Kaylie.

"40, what about you?"

Kaylie showed me the contents of the paper. "25. Who's my partner?"

Rosaline shrugged her shoulders. "Let's go. I even wonder who my partner is."

...•—— ⁠✿ ——•...

"How many numbers?" Rosaline asked and Reagan simply raised an eyebrow.

"My phone number?"

Rosaline rolled her eyes. "No, stupid! I mean your project number!"

Reagan simply formed an o with his mouth and then replied, "25 and yours?"

Rosaline surprised. So the twin is Kaylie's partner? The girl groaned in frustration, slumping her body dramatically against the wall and making Reagan instantly frown in confusion.

"Why?" She asked.

"It's not fair" he shouted, "I wish you were my partner, so I can keep telling you."

"Oi, I'm not your maid" said Reagan and

Rosaline groaned again. "What number did you get? My question you haven't answered, boy," he explained, reminding Rosaline that the question had not been answered.

Rosaline pursed her lips, frowning as she extended her hand, revealing the contents of the paper she had been holding since. "40. And now I wonder who my partner is. Mind telling me who is the number 40 in your class?"

Reagan was silent, staring long into the paper and then into his twin before looking back at the paper. "I don't know" he said, "I don't really have a friend there or anyone close to me so I can ask them one by one about the numbers they get."

Rosaline clicked her tongue. "Useless," he sneered and immediately received a deathly gaze from Reagan.

"Go, before I hit you in the head," Reagan exasperated.

Clap up!

The door closed and Rosaline leaned against the door. The girl looked very frustrated. How could Kaylie be his twin? Why not him? Oh, my God, I hope it's not the

golden Money is his partner.

It would be a nightmare her whole life if she partnered with James.
