Khalifa: Queen in the Apocalypse

"Was she really so beautiful?" Mira asked Laura, who was sobbing her heart out. She really couldn’t believe it.

Although she didn’t have a subject with professor Cauis, he was well known in the entire school as the top handsome man.

He was also very proper. She had heard of many students trying to seduce him. None succeeded.

He was the unreachable, untainted, deity in their eyes.

Like Laura, she felt uncomfortable that the great ascetic god of their school was snagged by someone.

Laura nodded her head, snot falling down. Claire sighed and helped her wipe her tears and snot.

"A proper goddess. I’ve never seen someone so beautiful and gorgeous.

"She had beautiful eyes. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but they have a really off color." She cried "Like the blue sky mixing with the night sky, you know?"

No, they really didn’t know.

"Her face was perfect! She had a high cheekbones, a tall nose, luscious lips—wuwuwu

"And more importantly! Some of the top of the professor’s polo buttons were opened. I saw her gorgeous cleavage!

"It was so much bigger than mine!" And she sobbed the loudest at this point, because she was quite proud of her boobs.

"She was too beautiful! It was almost unreal."

"Then she probably isn’t. Who knows how much work she got done on herself." Mira couldn’t help but quip, then softened her face, making it appear that she said such a bitter thing to make the other girl feel better.

Laura paused, thinking. Although the woman looked really natural, she was too beautiful. It must not be real.

Laura thankfully grabbed Mira’s hand. "Thank you for comforting me."

She also hugged Claire. "You guys are the best~" As she did so, her eyes coincidentally ended up on the fourth bed.

"Is it just me or we don’t see Khalifa anymore?"

Mira nodded. "Maybe she goes to the library at 5pm and goes home at ten?"

Laura giggled.

It was Claire who cleared their confusion. "She already finished the semester."

The two whipped their heads to her, eyes wide. "What??"

"It’s quite famous among the teachers." Claire said, "I happened to know about it this morning. I was in the lounge to wait for professor Lee when I overheard a few teachers talking.

"Khalifa apparently already took the finals in advance and was exempted from the rest of the semester."

"Whattt." Laura exclaimed. "You can do that?"

Miras eyebrows furrowed. "That doesn’t seem very fair…"

Claire shook her head. "If anyone can do what she could, they would probably get exempt too."

It shut Mira up and she didn’t comment anymore.

Claire couldn’t help but look at the empty bed, and sighed. They didn’t even have the chance to be friends with her.

Claire felt she had tried, but Khalifa was detached and only cared about her grades. Despite this, Claire’s instincts told her that being her friend wouldn’t bring her harm, only good.

"I also heard another news earlier." She said, "Professor Hill would be taking over professor’s Statistics class today."

"Really?!"

"Aren’t you coming?"

"No, I have an assignment to finish." Claire said, and the two didn’t mind, and the gladly went to catch the class.

The two were excited to sit-in to see the handsome teacher. Their hearts were raised and their eyes swooned upon his entry. His tall figure and great face could really make a girl’s heart beat.

But as they stared… they realized something that broke their hearts.

The supposed prim and proper Professor Hill didn’t even bother hiding the kiss mark on his neck!!

"Wuuuwuu what happened to my cool ascetic professor uwuuu." Laura sobbed again as they headed out of the building, and Mira also mumbled a bit of annoyance.

But her bad mood was quickly wiped away when she saw a figure waiting outside their dormitories.

"Chris." She uttered sweetly, putting her loose hair behind her ears. "What are you doing here?

The man saw it was his girlfriend’s friend and automatically looked around for her.

Mira saw this and she gripped her skirt to keep herself from showing annoyance. She gritted her teeth before showing him a smile. "Claire is finishing up an assignment at the lab. She should be available soon."

He smiled. "Hmm, thanks."

As Mira walked in with Laura, she couldn’t help but glimpse at his handsome profile waiting patiently for another woman.

You will be mine.

Chris only had to wait for another ten minutes before Claire appeared in the vicinity.

Claire’s eyes brightened at the sight of her boyfriend. Her pace quickened and she held his arm as soon as she could reach it. "I’m sorry. Did you wait long?"

Chris’ eyes softened and he playfully tapped her nose. "Nope. I just arrived."

Claire saw the leaf on his head and didn’t call out his lie. She simply tiptoed to place a soft peck on his cheek.

Chris was a bit startled, blushed, and just grinned in the end. Placing a kiss on her forehead.

They were both conservative people. They had been dating for a few months now, and they had yet to have their first real kiss.

They walked out the gates for their date, deciding to eat dinner at a relatively well-known restaurant downtown.

Neither of them noticed the dark look a few floors above them.

As they headed to the area by bus, they happened to witness an intimidating convoy of soldiers rushing out. They were a long line of vans and trucks, filled with soldiers with serious expressions.

"Did anything happen?" A passerby asked his companion, who also looked on curiously.

"It could be a drill…"

Anyway, the sight was quite intimidating and also very cool. Especially, when one of the larger trucks stopped to pick up another group of soldiers.

Ahead of these soldiers was a handsome captain, in his mid twenties, leading his team in an orderly manner. He was well-shaped and good-looking, and every movement caught the attention of the people, especially the women.

Both Claire and Chris had also seen him, but both shrugged it off in the end, because they weren’t the type to dwell on other people.

The soldier was Ryo.

They didn’t know each other yet so it didn’t register to either of them.

None of them knew just how tightly their destinies were entwined.
