93 Chapter 92: I think we'd make a great pair

Yesterday's class had mainly consisted of basic transformation techniques. Almost everyone was showing off the speed of their transformations. There were all kinds of people there- some wolves were incredibly strong and was proud of their agility while others tended to showcase their grace and beauty. There was no one among all the boys and girls who caught her attention for possessing both the qualities except one. Her name was Eun Ae, a Korean girl who had from the moment that she had entered the ground had managed to awe everyone by her scintillating looks and the strenth of her wolf. She was one among the seniors who was assigned to train the lot of them. Elize looked around to see if the girl had arrived, but to her disappointment she had not yet come.

She had enjoyed watching Eun Ae and some other seniors as they had put on a show of combat. The girl had literally slammed a huge male wolf, again one of the seniors, down on his back during the match. The defeated wolf, a guy who was twice the size of Eun Ae, had tears running down his face by the time she was finished with him. Since werewolves healed quickly, the guy only had a limp to his walk after taking an hour's rest. Unlike her witchcraft classes, the one thing that was different about the training was that all the classes were strenuously physical in nature- one thing that Elize was quite bummed about. Although she had quite an agile body, she was never the athletic type and she didn't plan on becoming one. 

As no one really volunteered talking to her, she didn't bother with it herself. She had gone back to the hostel alone yesterday, and was sitting on the only bench the place all alone. She hated the fact that she had to wait for three more days for Zack to come. She wished that at least Nina would arrive earlier to give her company. She was getting bored in the midst of strangers here. Elize could hear squeals of laughter from a group of girls surrounding one of the seniors, whose name she had learned yesterday as Lang Jin. 

"Hey! Long hair! Come here!" he had called her during yesterday's practice.

"It's Elize." She had said, correcting him. 

"Whatever. You're not worth the mention if you've not transformed yet." One of the girls said dismissively.

"If you say so." She had said with a shrug, not moving from her position.

"You're quite feisty aren't you?" Lang Jin asked, with a smirk.

"I don't know." Elize had replied.

"You want to come with me to the club tonight?" He had asked with a flirtatious grin.

"I'll pass." Elize had said before getting up and walking away.

Apparently he was the headmaster's son as well as one of the most popular guys in college. She had also heard that he was one among the sixteen of the Disciplinary Committee. The boy looked quite like his father except for his jet black hair. The same handsome yet weirdly familiar features were on him, which quite confused her. She was sure that she hadn't met the father-son duo before and at the same time, something seemed too familiar on them. She just wasn't able to place what it was.

"Senior Jin! Please take me along with you to the club next time!" A girl's loud whiny voice brought her back to the present.

The girl was taking her flirting to the next level, squeezing his bulky arm against her chest.

"And what do I get in return?" Lang Jin teased, leaning against her lips.

The girl quickly bent in and with a slick tongue licked his lips. 

"Me too! Me too!" Came cries from the surrounding girls.

Elize was disgusted with the show in front of her. Lang Jin might be popular but he was the most disgusting of the guys that she had met in the college so far, not to mention that he had tried to hit on her yesterday. His dialogue had made her wonder about a certain Kelpie who had asked her the same. Maybe Lang Jin was not the most disgusting guy she had seen so far, she thought remembering Lloyd's cocky attitude and flirting.

"Tch. I wonder where he got the courage to ask me out." Elize murmured. "If Zack heard about it, he woul-"

"Do what?" A familiar voice came from behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Elize asked, without turning back.

"Well aren't you mean? You haven't even turned around to acknowledge me." He said.

Elize clenched her teeth, irritated at the intrusion. Forcing herself to smile, she turned around to face the unwelcome visitor.

"Good afternoon Vice Principal Irving." She acknowledged.

The Kelpie seemed unfazed at her deliberate effort at keeping a distance. There was a huge smile plastered on his face, enhancing his good looks under the warm light of the evening sun. 

"Good afternoon to you too Chosen One." Lloyd replied with a wink.

Elize narrowed her eyes at the water horse. It sounded more like a threat than a greeting. The man was shameless. He had promised her!

"I have thought about your request." Elize said, trying to maintain a blank expression. 

"Oh? I thought you wouldn't. After all, you had said that you had a mate." Lloyd teased, running his long fingers through his hair lazily.

Elize was shocked at his reply. She had started the topic intending to humiliate him so that he'd leave her alone. But the way he made it sound just now seemed like Elize was the one who was trying to cling on to him. 

"But you-" She started, wanting to turn the table around. But it seemed that the Kelpie wouldn't have any of it.

"Anyway if you're so eager to tell me, then go ahead." He said sitting down next to her." I'm sure that you have decided on rejecting the offer."

"Yes." Elize said with a shrug.

She had wanted to be the one to reject him. But why was he so compliant and understanding? Was he trying to use reverse psychology on her? 

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lloyd asked, raising a brow.

"I thought you'd have a problem with it." She said, searching his face.

"Do you want me to?" The Kelpie asked, breaking out into a breathtaking smile.

"No thank you. I'm good." Elize said quickly looking away. "Look, whatever you're trying to pull on me here won't work." She said, leaning back against the bench.

Lloyd sighed. "Why do you think that I'm trying to pull something on you?"

"Because you're never this nice-" Elize said closing her eyes, "or calm."

"Do you like me being naughty Elize?" He asked mischievously.

"Tch. I don't like you at all." Elize said dismissively, enjoying the cool breeze that was slowly flowing towards her side.

Lloyd laughed. "You know me quite well seeing that we've only met twice or thrice." He said, "I think we'd make a great pair."

"And once again you're back at it."

All of a sudden, she felt his breath right next to her neck. "I'm not planning on letting go Chosen One." He whispered against her skin.

"What is wrong with you?!" Elize hissed, jumping up from the seat.

The sneaky bastard! She shouldn't have let herself relax around him. 

"We had a deal." Lloyd said, easing himself back against the bench. A few of the buttons of his shirt were undone, giving her a full blown view of his well developed chest muscles. 

Elize's eyes widened in disbelief. If someone should see them now, they would have thought that there was something going on between the two! The Kelpie was more cunning that she had thought him to be.

Elize fumed. "No you had a-"

"Vice Principal Irving!" Someone called, cutting her off midway.
