The wooden door of the lecture hall creaked softly as Alexander pushed it open. The room was mostly empty, save for a few early arrivals scattered near the back rows Up at the front, standing on a wooden chair beneath the massive cork notice board, was Sophie, the class representative She was straining, her arms stretched high as she tried to tape a massive, brightly colored poster advertising the upcoming campus festival. The heavy paper kept rolling back on itself, and she let out a frustrated, quiet huff, almost losing her balance on the chair.

Alexander walked smoothly down the steps of the aisle Without saying a word, he stepped up right behind her, reached up with his long arms, and easily caught the top corners of the poster, flattening it firmly against the board.

Sophie gasped, her entire body stiffening as she felt the sudden, massive heat of his presence directly behind her She snapped her head around, her amber eyes widening in shock when she saw his face Her expression instantly hardened into a sharp, icy glare.

"Get away from me" said Sophie, her voice dropping into a tense, hushed whisper as she slapped his hands away from the paper. "Leave me alone I can do this by myself".

Alexander raised an eyebrow, his expression remaining completely calm and relaxed Just two days ago, everything had been going perfectly between them She had been completely receptive to his slow, calculated flirting, playfully blushing whenever he leaned into her space or played with her hair But now, she was looking at him as if he were a completely toxic stranger.

He didn’t back down Instead, he grabbed the roll of tape from the tray, cut off a piece with a sharp snap, and smoothly secured the bottom corner of the banner, completely ignoring her protest.

Sophie bit her lower lip, staring at him with a mixture of raw fury and tightly suppressed tears The moment the poster was secured, she stepped down from the chair so fast she almost tripped, grabbing her notebook from the desk and turning to walk straight toward the exit.

"What’s wrong?" asked Alexander, his voice a low, smooth melody that easily caught up to her. "Do you need more help with the festival preparations? You know you can always count on me for whatever you need".

Sophie stopped dead in her tracks, her knuckles turning completely white as she gripped her notebook She turned around slowly, her chest heaving heavily under her tight blouse as she glared at him with pure venom.

"Yeah, maybe I can count on you" whispered Sophie, her voice shaking with an intense, suffocating anger. "But the library slut can also count on you to eat her clean right on the bathroom floor!".

Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly, a small, dark smirk playing on his lips as the pieces of the puzzle instantly fell into place Ah, he thought, completely amused by the revelation Someone saw us in the library restrooms yesterday.

He didn’t look panicked He didn’t offer a sweet, desperate lie, nor did he try to deny the accusation like a regular boyfriend would Instead, he took two slow, predatory steps forward, locking his dark eyes onto her flushed face with absolute, unbothered confidence.

"So you found out" stated Alexander, his voice entirely steady and devoid of remorse. "What about it? I like taking care of her, and I like keeping her completely satisfied But that doesn’t change anything about you and me".

Sophie stared at him in utter disbelief, her jaw dropping slightly at his raw, shameless audacity "Are you... are you seriously admitting to it right now? You are a completely disgusting pig!".

"I’m just being honest" murmured Alexander, leaning down slightly until his breath brushed against her burning earlobe. "I have plenty of affection to go around, Sophie If you’re so jealous of what I did to her in that bathroom, you can always join the rotation I have no problem using my tongue to clean your cooch whenever you want".

"You are a sick, arrogant bastard! I hate you!" hissed Sophie, a hot tear finally slipping down her cheek as she slammed her notebook against his chest, turned around, and practically ran out into the hallway, completely overwhelmed by her own anger.

Alexander stood in the empty aisle, a low, quiet chuckle escaping his lips as he straightened his collar He wasn’t worried at all Now that he knew the exact reason behind her sudden hostility, the problem was completely manageable He just needed to figure out the right stage to break her pride and reel her back into his trap.

The lecture hall quickly filled up with students as the morning bell rang, but the seat next to Alexander remained completely empty Sophie didn’t return for the start of the class In fact, she didn’t show her face again until the very final minutes of the academic block, completely avoiding his gaze as she slipped into a desk at the absolute back of the room.

The day dragged on, turning into a grueling, long stretch of hours As it turned out, the professors had announced three consecutive pop quizzes and midterm assessments during yesterday’s lectures Alexander, of course, had been completely absent, too busy filling high-status cores with his thick hose to bother checking the university portal.

When the test sheets were passed down the rows, a collective groan echoed through the auditorium Most of the students looked like they were about to have a panic attack, frantically trying to recall their notes.

Alexander simply leaned back in his chair, twirling a black pen between his long fingers as he scanned the complex equations and theoretical questions He didn’t blink Even without a single hour of preparation or attendance the previous day, his sharp, highly analytical mind didn’t fail him He was a naturally brilliant student, he understood the core logic of the material rather than just memorizing it.

He moved through the sheets with a relaxed, steady rhythm, writing down his answers with absolute confidence By the time the final bell rang and the professors collected the papers, Alexander knew exactly where he stood He hadn’t aced them with a perfect score, but he had easily secured a a very solid, passing mark—more than enough to keep his academic standing perfectly intact while he focused on his real business outside the classroom.

As the students began to pack up their bags, Alexander slung his backpack over one shoulder, his dark eyes instantly cutting through the crowd to lock onto the back row, tracking Sophie’s every move as she prepared to leave.
