The rebirth of planet Resoria Z9
Chapter 10

The sun's scorching heat crept on me and I turned to the other side and veiled my eyes with the pillow as I was adjusting my pillow. My phone landed with a thud on the floor. Worried that Bortums was going to read my notifications before me like he has been doing for the past few weeks.

I came to no other conclusion but to tuck my phone under my pillow before I fell asleep last night. I reached over the edge of my bed and tried to grab my phone but all I could see in front of me was a pair of silver metal arm reaching for my phone and picking it up.

‘’ Why is there a notification from Thomas and when did he get your personal information in order to contact you suddenly?’’

Said Talus and soon after Bortums stepped out of the clear glass closet the androids stayed in. Bortums grab my phone out of Talus' hands and lifted the phone to his eye level reading through the lines.

‘’ You can’t invade my privacy whenever you feel like it’’

I told them, it was about time I put my foot down and showed that they can’t continue to behave like this.

‘’ We can, when we are responsible of seizing your desire and success in order to achieve that we have to be updated on your life and the new people who comes in.’'

Said Bortums with enough authority and leaving me with little time to get ready for my classes. I couldn’t waste my time on arguing back and forth before being presentable enough to step outside of my dorm.’’

The only thing I changed about my outfit was the beige skirt. Instead I wore the dark blue one with the same white button shirt after all nobody would notice. Grabbing the side of my blazer I wasted no time putting it on outside my dorm and left my androids to lock the door after them.

I walked out of the girls' side of the dorm and saw Thomas waiting for me. He was really serious about faking this relationship, walking past the girls who sat on the small sofa and with their phones suddenly reaching out of their bags. I knew I was probably being discussed and gossiped on different group chats by now.If I were one of them I would have been surprised that a new girl immediately started dating their golden student.

but I am not one of them and have no issue with being the topic being talked about.As long as it did not affect my physical appearance such as becoming the victim to their cruel pranks.

‘’ Did you get any sleep? I know how much of a trouble John can be but I can assure you that he will grow bored and find something else to bother’’

Said Thomas with an effort to cheer me up from the dreadful situation I had fallen into. Our small conversation grew bigger when we closed into our classroom. It was filled with his hobbies and getting to know me better. The notifications coming from his phone ended our conversion and he pulled his phone out and read the messages. I could recognize the sound of messages notifications and the one from your social media app.

‘’ Look at this, there are 45 new messages in the groupchat with our classmates and some other people from different classes. It is 7 am what could have got them so fired up?’’

He asked with confusion, he seemed to be a little slow. How could he not figure out that him waiting for me to walk with him would raise suspicions of us dating?.

‘’ Do you want me to read it out loud for you? But don’t let it spoil your mood. The day has just begun.’’

He said and this time really tired to reassure me it honestly felt kind of odd having someone care about my feelings this way, I have always been used to being treated like my emotions was not a priority among my own peers. I simply gave him a nod to continue and read it out loud for me. He took a deep breath and started reading out loud with every word coming out of his mouth. I felt a tension building up this was not good.

‘’ Alright so the first one message says our golden student has fallen into the hands of the new girl or as you know her Miss recommendation letter.

The way I saw her walking with absurd confidence to Thomas and leading him to follow after her like a puppy was as if she threw a spell over him.’’

My mouth was hanging and I was shocked to the core, how could they so blindly believe that I was the one who wanted to date him in the first place. And me throwing a spell over him was absurd. I was never the type who turned to magic and rituals to get what I desired.

‘’ Don’t tell me the other forty messages blindly believe that messed up rumor?’’

I asked with a hint of worry in my voice, being the topic in this way never ended well. It reminded me of all the bad chick flicks where the main girl gets drenched in pig blood out of pure jealousy.

‘’ It is worse than that, the other messages are arguing about whose point of view and what they saw was more true than their first one. A few of them wrote that you and I have known each other since middle school and have been dating in secret ever since then.’’

I put my hand over my mouth stopping myself from letting a frustrated scream out. It seemed that luck was never on my side ever since I found the androids in a pit after the meteor.

‘’ Does this mean we can’t back out from our fake relationship? If so we have two options to ignore those absurd messages together or you can put an end to the rumors that I bewitched you.’’

‘’ I have already sent a long paragraph to the group chat. It had to seem reliable while you were panicking, I would have let you continue to work yourself up if I had only sent a small message back but this one is reliable. I explained to them sternly to stay out of my business and who I decided to date it does not matter if I meet you a day ago what we have is real.’’

My mind was focused on the part of even though we met a day ago, what we have is real. Those words made the pit in my stomach filled with butterflies. It sounded sweet but too good to be true. I didn't even know if he felt anything for me. My heart was skipping beats while he opened the door for me and we went inside the classroom.

Through the lesson my mind constantly ran over the words that made my stomach turn. I was mentally arguing back and forth with my own thoughts about how I can't solely believe that there is a spark between us just because of my own feelings towards him. With my mind caught up with my own heart’s arguments the lesson went by like a prick of a needle. The most important thing to me is being realistic but with Thomas it became harder and harder for me.

It was as if a fog came over me and clouded me from seeing anything else than him standing in the middle of the path with a light behind him casting his silhouette. The more I pondered I came to realize that at the end of day this relationship benefited me to a great length. I was no longer going to be caught in the halls all alone and John roaming in the halls to find me and planting a fear inside me.

It would also eliminate the doubts I have about Thomas not feeling any romantic feelings towards me because with time and our bonding it would bring us close enough to form a connection. Who am I to complain when my own heart skips beat for him? I reasoned with myself. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Knowing that my own thoughts would distract me from this lesson I chose not to sit next to Thomas because if he was that close to me I would not have come to this acceptance I would have been the one being bewitched. It was as if Thomas knew I came back to my senses when pulled the chair next to me and showed me his notes he took.

I took a quick picture from his notebooks and thanked him for sharing his notes with me. We walked together once again to our dorms and engaged into another conversation that fueled my feelings for him. I was truly doomed.

When we arrived in front of the entrance that separated the girls and boys dorms his feets were still pointed to me. I read in a magazine that if a guy talks to you with his feets in your direction that is the opposite of him wanting to leave. This was not enough proof that I wanted but it would give me the confidence to ask him if would like to continue working with our group assignment in my room. Later when he accepted my request I hurried to my dorm and left him alone with his thoughts.

I opened my door a little too hard out of excitement and started to clean up a little, while I was cleaning I saw my androids in their clear glass closet. They must have been bored out of their minds. I need to wake them up and order them to raise their brain capacity awareness level, which is what makes us human active to respond to reactions.

It would raise a suspicion if Thomas saw them in a zombie-like state compared to how active the androids were in yesterday's lesson. I cleaned the clear glass and tapped the glass to wake them up. It worked as their eyes flew open and with their motions the doors slid open and they stepped out.

‘’ You need to raise your brain capacity awareness level because I invited Thomas over we are going to work with our group assignment assigned by Mr. Smith as you know. He will be here in any minute and you guys are a wonderful object to demonstrate in order to make the group assignment more easy.’’

I frantically told them I could not care if my emotions were spiked through on Bortums radar. This moment could end really well and bring Thomas and I close enough.

‘’ Don’t you think this is going too fast? You barely know this human and giving him access to our very own existence and presence this is not something you humans take lightly when your eyes focuses to much on our physical appearance because it gives enough time for the brain overload with million of questions of the reason of our abilities.’’

Said Bortums, I know where he was coming from but this was not a stranger I invited over this was a person who stepped up for me when my mind was reliving horrible moments in my life tormented by John and this person is a beloved classmate who I see the old me in I told Bortums.

Before I could dive deeper into why it was not a danger to invite Thomas over, a knock was heard from the door and I turned my back to Bortums and headed for the door. When I opened the door my eyes fell on all the snacks Thomas was carrying, sodas and a bunch of chips in different flavors was in front of me.

‘’ I never got the chance to ask you what kind of snacks you like so I went to a nearby store and bought the first snacks I saw. I don’t know about you but whenever I have assignments due I work better with snacks it has shown a great effect on my grades.

‘’ It is fine. I can see my favorite chips there. It is pretty average among our peers; you can never go wrong with Sour Cream chips. Come in I have set up a desk for us to work on.’’

I opened my door wider and stepped to the side so he could pass through for a split moment. I thought I saw a flicker of a flashlight when I let him in. My lack of sleep must have made me imagine seeing that light and I did not have enough time to find out because Thomas went by and put the snacks and soda on the large table in the middle of my room.

I closed the door after me and saw Bortums and Thomas having eye contact with each other and none of them was ready to look the other way. I came closer and tilted my head in front of them in order to flick my gaze between them and figure out why they were staring at each other. One gaze was filled with admiration and the other one suspicion.

‘’ This is Bortums, He seems a little bit threatening but he is protective. I couldn't help but to program him that so don’t take any of his actions as something to respond back to or feel towards.’’

I said with the sweetest voice I could muster, only Bortums could sense the small threat in my voice and the way I sent him glares to show him not to mess this up.

‘’ My apologizes, you must be Thomas I have your face saved in my system when I was with Professor Smith.’’

Said Bortums while he reached his arm up and pointed towards Thomas and back to me several times such as if Bortums was trying to compare our emotions or that something was going on. A bit of too much information to my taste. It could have scared Thomas away and been a tactic of Bortums in order to scare him in fact away but Thomas was smiling eagerly to Bortums and asked him a bunch of questions.

‘’ You have saved my face in your system so you could identify all the students and if a person who was not a student in this University snuck in you would be the first person to know. This is a wonderful idea to program him into his protection is down to the last detail. You really have poured your soul and heart into these androids Jessica. ‘’

Said Thomas with so much admiration that it made my heart once again skip a beat. How I loved to be admired by the students in this University and how long I have planned for this day to come to life.

‘’ Thank you, I really appreciate your admiration, let's write that down in our notebook. It is in fact an answer to question 3 of how does one perfect their greatest work.’’

I said and sat down on the chair, Thomas reached his arm to my side and opened my notebook before I could. His warm hand collided into mine and I quickly put my hand away and onto the desk in order to focus on my studies and write down what we needed to do.

Hours flew by and an empty chips bag laid on the floor. We were more than exhausted and the hour was late. Our laughter died down when we symmetrically raised our heads up from the notebooks and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. In a few hours we would wake up and get ready for the lessons.

I Immediately stood up and told Thomas that we were not going to have the energy to be attendants for the mornings lessons. Thomas wasted no time and headed for the door. We said our goodbyes and I locked the door after him. I did bother to clean up our mess and threw myself on the bed and tuned out the million questions coming from an annoyed Bortums. I saved everything for tomorrow, the mess to clean up and answering Bortums questions.
