Episode - 8 ( Stealing spotlight and ML's Heart)
The Grand Entrance
The most luxurious car, a sleek black Bugatti Chiron, rolls into the university campus. Heads turn, conversations halt, and the chatter becomes a wave of whispers.
Luis steps out first, his sharp outfit making him look like a movie star.
Zoey follows, her designer dress shimmering under the sunlight,
and then Zane, his leather jacket giving off an air of untouchable confidence. The three of them walk together, their expressions cold, indifferent to the attention they're drawing.
Random Student 1: "Who are they? Are they celebrities?"
Random Student 2: "I heard they're new students. Look at that car! They must be rich."
Random Student 3: "Rich? They're oozing royalty!"
Zane Claire ( MC'S friend)
Zoey Claire ( MC'S friend)
Zoey glances at the gawking crowd, smirks faintly, and then looks away.
Luis adjusts his sunglasses and continues walking, completely unfazed.
Zane checks his watch, clearly impatient, as if the scene around him is beneath his notice.
They ignore everything and directly goes to the Principal Office
Meeting the Principal
The three enter the Principal’s office. The Principal, a composed middle-aged men stands to greet them.
Principal: "Welcome to our university. I’m sure your presence here will leave a mark. Let me take you to your class."
They follow her without a word, their silence more intimidating than any boast could be.
The principal takes them to their first class
The Classroom
Professor Erik is writing equations on the board when the door opens. All eyes turn to the entrance as the Principal steps in, followed by the trio. The students murmur excitedly.
Student 1: "Them again? They're in our class?"
Student 2: "I can’t believe this! They look like they walked out of a magazine."
Erik turns to see the newcomers and freezes momentarily. His gaze lands on Luis, who, for a brief second, meets his eyes before looking away dismissively.
Principal: "Professor Erik, these are our new students. Luis, Zoey, and Zane. Please ensure they feel welcomed
Erik regains his composure, though his heartbeat quickens. "Of course, Principal. Thank you."
Luis Adam
(Luis steps forward, his expression calm but distant)
"Luis Adam"
He glances at Erik briefly but says nothing else.
Zoey Claire ( MC'S friend)
(Zoey introduces herself with a clipped tone, )
"Zoey Claire".
Don’t expect much interaction."
Zane Claire ( MC'S friend)
(Zane smirks),
"Zane Clarie"
Just here to get through it. Don’t bother me; I won’t bother you."
The class is silent, the tension thick in the air. Erik’s eyes linger on Luis, but the latter doesn’t notice—or pretends not to. The trio takes a seat at the back, ignoring the stares and whispers.
Erik feels an inexplicable pull, his gaze lingering on Luis even as Zoey and Zane introduce themselves. The Principal’s voice fades into the background.
Erik Wilson
Erik’s Thoughts:
(Luis Adam..... The name suits him. But he’s distant, cold almost. Why do I feel like I want to know more?)
As the trio enters, the classroom erupts into whispers, though no one dares to speak too loudly.
Student 1: “That’s the guy from earlier—the one who stepped out of the Bugatti
Student 2: “Did you see how everyone stopped to look at him? He’s like a model or something.”
Student 3: “Forget him. The girl, Zoey, she’s stunning. And that Zane guy looks like trouble.”
Student 4: “But Luis… there’s something different about him. He doesn’t even care that people are staring.”
The trio walks to the back of the room, their presence making the entire class feel smaller. Luis doesn’t even glance at anyone, his face an unreadable mask.
Student 5: “He looks untouchable. Like no one here is worth his time
Student 6: “I heard they talked with the Principal before coming here. Maybe they’re VIPs?”
As Erik begins the lecture, he tries to focus on the board, but his thoughts keep drifting back to Luis.
Erik’s Thoughts:
Why do I keep glancing at him? He hasn’t looked up once—just staring at his notebook like nothing here matters. It’s infuriating... but also intriguing. There’s a story behind that cold exterior. What are you hiding, Luis Morgan?
Erik catches himself stealing glances throughout the class. He notices the way Luis rests his chin on his hand, seemingly disinterested. He observes how Zoey exchanges brief smirks with Zane, the two clearly sharing some inside joke.
But Luis? He’s a fortress—impenetrable.
Erik Wilson
Erik’s Thoughts:
(Why am I drawn to him? This isn’t like me. I’m supposed to be teaching, yet here I am wondering about a student. Get it together, Erik)
(The lecture continues, but Erik’s attention wavers. He finds himself hoping Luis will look up, acknowledge him in some way. Yet, Luis remains aloof, completely unaware of the effect he’s having)
At the end of the lecture, Erik musters the courage to address the trio.
Erik Wilson
“Luis, Zoey, Zane—do you have any questions about today’s material?”
Luis looks up briefly, his expression neutral. “No,” he replies simply, before looking back at his notebook. Zoey raises an eyebrow, smirking slightly, while Zane leans back in his chair, uninterested.
Erik Wilson
(That voice—calm, controlled. I can’t read him at all. He’s like a puzzle I can’t solve)
As the trio leaves the classroom, the buzz of gossip picks up again. Erik watches them go, unable to shake the feeling that Luis Adam is going to be more than just another student in his life.
