Becoming the Campus King’s Girlfriend

For the past two weeks of isolating herself from the world because her boyfriend cheated on her and due to their apparent breakup, Brielle had a lot to say to Gerald. That he is such a horrible person and she must be practically blind for choosing him to be her first boyfriend.

Brielle finally had the chance to say whatever is in her mind, now that Gerald is standing so proud in front of her, probably feeling so good that he cheated and broke-up with her with someone prettier and someone more popular.

That she, a boring and plain girl, could be easily discarded. Brielle wanted to prove him wrong and slap right into his face the fact that she is precious, precious enough to be loved and not get cheated on, that their breakup was a huge benefit for Brielle.

”Cat got your tongue? ” Gerald teased after taking a sip of the liquor inside the shot glass he was twirling with his hand a while ago.

He has always had this rough and boisterous exterior. Brielle cannot help but punch herself in the face for not noticing the red flags sooner while they were still together. He never looked as devilish as ever in her eyes now.

Brielle wanted to say something, to come up with a banter that would make Geralds eyes go wide and drag himself away from her voluntarily. She knew for sure that he wanted to piss the heck out of her, that he wanted to show-off that he already has someone new while she is still at the phase of moving on.

But now that Brielle is extremely annoyed towards him, she is certain that she just wants to punch him right in the face. Of course, punching him is not the choice.

It was indeed as if her tongue lurked backwards making her unable to say something.

Damn it! He would think he is way better than me! That I am a loser! Brielle thought to herself.

Brielle turned her face away from Geralds gaze. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists on her side. Gerald is giving her this aggravating kind of face while wiggling his eyebrows in an attempt to mock her.

Most of the time, Brielle calls Gerald as the inversely proportional guy in her mind. He is a big guy but just as how incredibly muscled and toned his arms and shoulders are is also how small his brain is.

Gerald kept on mocking Brielle for the following minutes but Brielle just stood there like a freaking scarecrow.

Meanwhile, Liam ended the phone call he had with Jerrick on the other side and when he was on his way back to Brielle, he noticed a guy talking to her. He observed their conversation for a moment because he did not want to interrupt but there was this extremely displeased look on Brielles face which made him go to her.

”Brielle, is everything alright? ” Liam stood beside Brielle appearing like a knight in shining armor.

Liam has this intimidatingly handsome aura that has always made men and women alike sort of just stand and admire his physique. He is perfect from head to foot, inside and out.

As expected, Gerald paused from pestering Brielle the moment he spotted Liam standing protectively next to her. He has never felt inferior to someone because he is confident of himself, or was. Gerald stood straight and widened his chest to measure up with Liams broad shoulders and chest.

Gerald had this mean and jealous look on his face while Brielle knew too well that Gerald hated men who appeared to be more attractive and cooler than him. Liam is way better, way kind, and way handsome.

What a sick dumbass, Brielle thought to herself referring to Gerald while looking at Liam who never appeared more dashing and cooler than now.

”Yes. I-… am alright? ” Brielle answered Liam, uneasiness is evident in her voice. She herself is not quite convinced if she is indeed okay because she is not! She decided to say otherwise because she did not want to cause any worry to Liam.

Liam scoffed. His once calm and thoughtful gaze to Brielle turned into a cold and threatening one when he turned to dart his sight to Gerald.

Geralds right hand is holding the empty shot glass while the other hand is kept inside his pocket as if it is going to make him appear cool. He held his chin high, doing his best to look unfazed with Liams scary gaze.

”You don sound alright. Is he messing with you? ” Liam once turned to Brielle and his gaze instantly shifted to being calm.

Liam wrapped his arms around Brielles shoulders which made her startled. Her eyes grew wide but she did not mind it as long as Gerald got a taste of his own medicine. Brielle knew too well how Geralds mind works, he hates being intimidated by some other guy. He often got into trouble because of that when they were still dating.

Gerald hates some guy who looks at him in a superior way. It hurts his broken and stupid ego.

The moment Gerald witnessed how comfortable Brielle was when Liam wrapped his arms around her, he was extremely annoyed and his nostrils flared up.

Gerald felt like Liam was soiling his reputation as Brielles ex-boyfriend, cheating ex-boyfriend. He knows for certain that Liam is much better-looking than him. Gerald always takes pride in his appearance because there is nothing else he is good at.

He let out a sarcastic laugh and slightly looked away to assess the situation. Still unbelieving that someone actually dared to think of him as someone who would mess with Brielle.

And even if he was, who gave him a right to think so? Gerald took a big egoistical step forward to Liam. Liam held Brielles wrist and made her stand behind him.

While studying abroad, Liam was not really the perfect student. He also participated in some brawls which made him a venerable figure in his previous school.

Liam was well-respected because of something. He excelled in his academics and fights for students who get bullied. He just could not stand bullies and the mere sight of them makes his blood boil.

He did not bulge and remained unfazed when Gerald took a step forward to him. If it was another person from their school, he would have tucked his tail forward like a scared dog but Liam is different.

He would beat anyone to a pulp when given the chance and if he had the reasons to do so. He clenched his jaw and seemed pretty calm while Gerald was already too worked up, his face reddening.

It was not an ordinary sight. Nobody really stood up against Gerald and now, here is Liam, an unknown guy. The scene garnered a small crowd from the pool area, onlookers who are curious as to who will win while most don even know what is happening.

Well, Gerald, Brielle, and an unknown man are having great tension and it seems like the two men are about to beat each other any time from now. Both Liam and Gerald clenched their jaws staring at each other.

”Why do you even care if I am messing with Brielle?! I am her-… ” Before Gerald could continue his statement, Liam cut him off.

Liam said, ”That you are her what? A cheating asshole? ” He scowled, making the onlookers gasp and widened their eyes. No one ever really confronted Gerald about his cheating endeavors.
