The Bored Immortal

Most of the students suddenly gasped when Tiana kissed Dorian's cheek who had a stunned expression.

However, inwardly Viktor was indeed a bit surprised that Tiana suddenly kissed him just like that.

Tiana quickly came to her senses as she realized what she had just done. She herself was shocked that she had just kissed Dorian without even thinking and wondered what came over her.

"Woah, she just kissed that lucky punk…"

"Don't tell me they are already an item. It was the last thing I expected."

"Shut up, you idiots. Which girls wouldn't fall for someone who can paint like that? Sigh, I wish I was as lucky as her."

Tiana could hear the whispers of her classmates and forced herself to act casually as she parted Dorian's back and said, "That was my gift to you for drawing such a beautiful portrait. I can take this, right?"

Viktor could see how this girl wanted to not admit to herself what she just did and said with a smile, "Of course. I drew this for you after all."

'Why is this guy making me feel so nervous??' Tiana didn't expect such a direct reply and felt as if the air around her was getting a bit hot, especially with everyone focusing on her interactions with Dorian.

She was feeling as if she was standing before Lucien. Only he could make her feel like this with just his words. But then Tiana realized she at times didn't act like herself whenever she spent time with Dorian, especially the first time she hung out with him.

"Damn...is this nerd too smooth, or am I just imagining it?" One of the students mumbled to his friend with an envious gaze.

"These two surely doesn't make a bad couple now that I think about it."

"Hmph, as if Dr. Snow's daughter would settle for a nobody."

Sayana's eyebrows creased the more she heard the mumbles of the students around her and wondered why her chest was burning up so much, especially when looking at these two.

She slowly turned around and walked away, not feeling like staying here any longer.

Soon the class dispersed, and Tiana went back to her class with a happy smile, carrying the canvas on her back.

She had already decided to hang this in her room and make sure to keep it safe forever. She believed that there couldn't be any other painting in the world which she would like more than this.

Sayana was already sitting in her class with a blank expression when Tiana entered the class and sat down beside her.

"Hey! Did you see my portrait Goodboi painted? It is so fucking mind-blowing. Do you want to see?" Tiana excitedly asked, eager to show off.

"Why did you do it?" Sayana suddenly asked in a taut tone while staring straight ahead.

"Do what?"

"Kiss him like that before everyone," Sayana said as she slowly turned her head to look at Tiana, whose smile was stifled.

Still, Tiana casually shrugged and said, "So?"

"You just made him feel uncomfortable before everyone. How would you feel if some guy suddenly kissed you on the cheek without your permission in front of everyone?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? It was just a kiss on the cheek, and besides, I am someone he knows and someone he is fond of. I am pretty sure instead of being uncomfortable, he must be feeling happy and lucky that I kissed him. He even told me he likes me. So I gave him a kiss for fun," Tiana said with a smug smile, though the last few sentences she purposefully said out of being annoyed at Sayana suddenly talking to her like this, which she had never done before.

Sayana clenched her jaw upon hearing her words.

Tiana could see how her expression changed and scoffed as she said, "Are you feeling angry at me for kissing him? Don't tell me it's because you really like him? Is that where all this is coming from? Because you are jealous?"

Sayana's hands closed into a fist, but then she relaxed them and said, "I asked because I was wondering if that was appropriate considering you are his cousin."

Tiana narrowed her eyes, not expecting Sayana to pull that card, and she herself also wondered why she couldn't see Dorian as a cousin.

"Well, there is no law that prevents cousins from kissing each other's cheeks, is there? So, next time you remember your place before you judge me, hmph."

The light in Sayana's eyes changed a bit as she lowered her gaze and said, "I-I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry. I was just being curious."

Sayana had no idea what came over her to suddenly question Tiana like that and wondered if something was wrong with her head.

Tiana nodded with a satisfied look as she said," At least you admitted your mistake. Forget about it. But if you really like Dorian, do you want me to tell him for you and see what he will say?"? Tiana asked in a teasing tone while feeling confident about what Sayana's answer will be.

"No! He...He is my friend...Please don't say anything to him," Sayana said in a soft voice as she evaded her gaze.

"Oh? Just a friend? And here I thought you two were really into each other. I will keep this in mind then," Tiana said with a wink while Sayana bit her lips, wondering why she was feeling so nervous and scared.

By now, she had already begun to question her own feelings.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Since you decided to accept Mr. Lucien's training, be careful of him," Tiana said in a tone of caution.

Sayana was confused by her words and asked, "What do you mean? I felt like he is a good teacher."

Tiana scoffed as she waved her hand, "Hmph, that is him using his tricks to fool innocent girls like you. He is actually a pervert with a handsome face to seduce girls like you. I would rather you train on your own since you are already good at martial arts."

Sayana felt a bit shocked hearing Tiana accuse Lucien of being a pervert. She didn't feel any such vibes from him and felt that maybe Tiana misunderstood him.

"I will be careful then, but I can't afford to not accept his training. I really want to win this fest, and there will be many experts from other colleges as well. I can't risk overestimating myself.. But thanks for telling me anyway," Sayana said in a thankful tone, much to Tiana's disappointment, "Well, suit yourself then."
