Chapter 148: How Do You Know That?
Since growing up Aiden had formed a habit of eating alone at a secluded place, and he had always stuck to following his habit by having his breakfast or dinner separately alone within the Academy premises. Since he knew Zenith had a personal Chef and a kitchen as per his father Dolemort’s request to the Principal, so he never bothered asking anyone else to join him to eat as it would always make him feel uncomfortable instead.
But his desires and intentions started to flow in a different direction since the day he was acquainted with Kylian. After bringing him to his secret comfort spot, Aiden had unknowingly hoped to ask Kylian to join him for breakfast the next day as it was the weekend off, after failing to ask him for a night walk yesterday.
But unexpectedly when he dialed him, getting Kylian’s phone busy turned him a bit gloomy once again. Thus, he chose to go to the most secluded yard at the west of the vast academy arena instead of going to his comfort place since he knew, going there would make him miss that bliss he had felt with Kylian, having him seated next to him and watch the beautiful waterfall and mountain view over that rooftop.
Bringing a small sandwich along with him, Aiden exhaled a heavy sigh while he was seated alone on a big bench at the corner of the greenery yard. But before he was about to take a bite, he winced to hear the sound steps and a dim ray of hope ignited inside him, making him turn around.
But his handsome face turned a little pale from shock when he realized instead of his anticipated person, Barnes stood there a few steps away from the bench, waving his hand at him, "Good morning, Sir! Would that one small sandwich be enough for your breakfast?"
"Hey? How did you find me here!?" Flinched at his arrival, Aiden was almost about to jolt up from his seat but before he could, Barnes moved closer to him and sat next to him quietly. As much as he stared at him with a surprised wide gaze, Barnes seemed very calm while smiling at him.
"Didn’t you hear my question? What are you doing here? How did you find me?"
"Well, I am sure we weren’t playing hide and seek, so, it’s no need for you to be so startled." Barnes calmly shrugged his broad shoulders, sounding quite mature from his tone. Leaning his back against the bench, he added, "I happened to see you when you were coming over here, so I got a little curious to see where would be off to at this early morning, all alone."
A little baffled by his calmness, Aiden gritted his jaws, grumbling back at him, "I am uncomfortable with you being here. So, please leave and let me eat in peace."
