[Next morning at the University]
Alex: Hi Lunette! How are you?
Lunette: I'm fine, Alex. What about you?
Alex: I'm fine too! Today our class is a bit later, and Irida is not coming because she is going to her hometown for a few days.
Lunette: I know. We talked about it last night. Ok, let's go to the class. I am going to rest for a bit since I studied all night.
Alex: Ok Lunette! I will let you know when the Professor arrives.
(Lunette and Alex go to the class. Lunette sits at her desk and lays her head down, facing left to rest for a bit.She closes her eyes and rests, Meanwhile, Alex comes and sits next to her. He lays his head on the desk facing Lunette and just stares at her passionately. Suddenly, Leo comes to the door of the class and sees this. His whole body is burning with jealousy and wrath. He clenches his fists and stares at Alex as if he wants to gouge out Alex's eyes. Lunette is obviously unaware of this. Alex slides his hand and is about to touch Lunette's pinky finger with his own when Leo shouts, and his shout is heard throughout the whole corridor. Lunette and Alex stand up in fright.)
Leo: Do you all come here to sleep? And you, Alex, get out of the class right now.
Alex: But Professor, I didn't do anything wrong.
Leo: You were sleeping in my class and tried to argue with me, so get out. If you don't get out by the time I count to 5, I will give you a worse punishment than this.
Lunette: Alex! Don't argue with him. Just go for now.
Alex: Hummm!
(Alex leaves the class)
Alex: (In his mind) I will make you pay, Professor Leo. It seems like something is suspicious. He always shows so much favour to Lunette. He always gets uncomfortable when I'm around Lunette, and he also tries to get close to her. Does he like her?
[Back in the class]
(Leo stares at Lunette and begins to give the lecture.)
Leo: Class, write an essay on William Shakespeare and submit it to me when your time is up.
Class: Ok, Professor!
(Everyone starts writing. Lunette is busy with her essay while Leo, wearing his spectacles, watches her with intense jealousy, not even blinking. Time is almost up. Lunette approaches with her essay, but Leo pretends to organize his files just to make her wait on purpose.The other students begins submit their essays, and Leo accepts them. Lunette is shocked and upset that she has been standing at his desk for almost 10 minutes; he ignored her while accepting papers from those who arrived after her. One By one, Everyone hands in their works and leaves. Finally, Leo shifts his attention to Lunette.)
Lunette: Professor, I have been standing here for almost 10 minutes. Why didn't you take mine first?
Leo: You were sleeping in the class, weren't you? So, I give you the punishment of waiting.
Lunette: Professor! I was just resting for a moment because I stayed up late studying. You weren't even in the classroom then.
Leo: Hand your sheet to me.
(Lunette gives her sheet to Leo. In the midst of this, Leo takes the opportunity to slides his fingers over Lunette's fingers. Lunette goes stiff and gently pulls her hand away. Lunette is about to leave.)
Leo: Wait!
Lunette: Yes, Professor?
Leo: Today we will study in the library.
Lunette: Ok, Professor!
(She is about to leave when Leo calls her again.)
Leo: Wait!
Lunette: Yes, Professor?
Leo: Bring the books from the library when coming for tutoring.
Lunette: Ok, Professor!
(She is about to leave when Leo calls her again.)
Leo: Wait!
Lunette: (Annoyed and grinding his teeth) Yes,Professor!
Leo: Bring bandages for me when coming to the library; it's still hurting and I forgot to bandage it again.
Lunette: Ok, Professor!
(She is about to leave when Leo calls her again)
Leo: Wait!
Lunette: (Infuriated) What, Professor? Can you please just say in it all at once?
(Leo stands up in haste and approaches Lunette. He leans toward her, matching her cute short height. Now, face-to-face and very close. Leo, stares directly into Lunette's eyes which makes Lunette go all warm and red. She is trying to hold an eye contact with him but unable to.)
Leo: (Staring intensely into her eyes) Look at me, Lunette!
(Lunette is really shy and nervous, but she somehow manages to look at him with her puppy eyes. Leo speaks.)
Leo: (Jealously) Stay aware of your surroundings. You don't even realise who is staring at you or trying to touch you. I warned you to stay away from Alex, didn't I? You should take me seriously, Lunette!
(Lunette is completely confused by his meaning. She leaves the class with a curt response.)
Lunette: Humm! Professor.
[At the Library]
Lunette: (In her mind) What did he mean by that? The surroundings? The touch? He is the one who stared at me intensely, and the first to ever hold me in arms, Is he trying to tell me to be wary of him?
(Leo enters, Pretending to be in pain from the cut he received the previous day at Lunette's home.)
Leo: Ohhh! It's painful. Lunette, did you bring the bandage?
Lunette: (Concerned) Yes, Professor! (She hands the bandage to Leo. Leo pretends to be unable to tie it himself so that Lunette will do it for him.)
Lunette: Professor! Let me help you.
Leo: Hummm!
(Lunette holds Leo's hand and begins to tie the bandage. Leo smiles, looking at her with love. He lets out a low groan of pain and tells Lunette to be gentle and blow on his wounds. As she does, a chill and a tingling sensation run through his body. He immediately tells her to hurry.)
Leo: (Nervous) Lunette, do it quickly, or I won't be able to control myself.
Lunette: Is it hurting a lot, Professor? Should I blow on the wound more gently?
Leo: Lunette, don't blow anymore, or the consequences will be on you.
Lunette: I'm Sorry, Professor, if I did something wrong, but trust me this time. I will blow more and rub your hand gently to make the pain vanish. It's a technique I learned from my grandmother.
(Lunette blows on Leo's hand and starts to gently caress it, which makes Leo nervous and uncontrollable. He pulls his hand away from Lunette and tells her that he is going to the washroom.)
Leo: (Nervous) I'm... I'm going to the washroom. I will be back in a few minutes. Until then, open the book and study.
Lunette: (Baffled) Ok, Professor!
(Alex sees all this, and now his doubts have turned into the reality that Leo likes Lunette.)
Alex: (In his mind) This Leo, who doesn't like anyone around him and stays away from strangers and women, is paying so much attention, care and love to Lunette. The reason can only be only one that he likes her. Sorry, Professor Leo, but you are late; I already like her, and now she can only be mine.
[In the Washroom]
(Leo splashes water on his face and neck. He breathes hard and tries to control himself. He also splashes some water on his stomach area to release the heat. )
Leo: Lunette! I'm amazed if this much touch can cause this much impact, I wonder what will happen when we are as close as magnets?
(Leo comes back and they both studies for half an hour. Suddenly, Alex comes and offers a mango drink to her.)
Alex: Lunette, you must be tired. Have some Mango drink.
Lunette: (Happy) Ohhh! Thank you so much Alex! That's so sweet of you.
Leo: (Jealous) Her favourite flavour is Strawberry.
Lunette: (Concerned for Alex) I like Mango flavour also, and I really appreciate your efforts, Alex.
Alex: (Smiles) I knew it! You will like it.
(Alex and Leo stare at each other with jealousy and as rivals. Lunette is confused by their gaze but eventually concludes that it's because of their arguments. Alex leaves the scene. Leo is jealous and looks at her as she is opening the drink. He stands up and sits beside Lunette. He snatches her beverage and starts to drink it himself.)
Lunette: (Upset and Confused) Professor, what are you doing? It's my drink.
Leo: (With jealous tone) Ohhh! I know it's yours, but I still drank it because I was thirsty. And of course, your so- called friend Alex- who is really sweet and whose efforts you appreciate, and for whom you are concerned- you can ask for another drink from him, can't you? By the way, I have half the drink left if you want it.
Lunette: Let me just taste it for a bit.
Leo: But do you know what it means when you drink from the same bottle as me? My lips have touched it and my saliva has caressed the bottle!
Lunette: (Confused and Curious) So, What does it mean?
Leo: An indirect Kiss! (Smirks)
(Lunette is flabbergasted and coughs at what she hears from Leo. She tries to act normal and continues the conversation.)
Lunette: Fine, Professor! I will ask another one from him.
Leo: (In a jealous tone) Don't you dare! Don't eat or drink anything given by him; stay away from him. Only like Strawberry flavour, not mango.
(Leo leaves the Library. Lunette is perplexed and doesn't understand what he meant. She was indeed shy and nervous after that talk about an indirect kiss, but refuses to have delusional thoughts. She just continues her studies.)
