Delayed Spring of Love
Epi 1
[📍Royal University of Finance and Business]
The university cafeteria was buzzing with whispers, laughter, gossip, and chattering of the students while looking at a girl surrounded by some students...
Ava Harper
(clutched her bag tightly to her chest)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(took off her glasses while laughing)
Ava Harper
(startled)
Give me my glasses..!!
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Oh, she has a voice too??!
(chuckled)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(entered the Cafeteria)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
Can you tell me how many fingers are these? ✌🏻
(mocking tone)
Ava Harper
(lowered head while trembling)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(took off her Black Shades)
Teyanna was as usual wearing a Mini skirt, while her heels were clicking against the floor..
There was an effortless arrogance in every step. Her presence alone was enough to make the conversations lower...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Oh, Tee… you came. Look, we found a new prey for you..
Teyanna didn't spare a mere glance at them, and sat on a chair flipping her hair strand back...
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
Fresh ones are always the most fun..!!
(put glasses on Ava's eyes with a laugh)
Ava Harper
(gulped with nervousness)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
I'm not in the mood, You decide her fate today...
(took out her phone)
Ava Harper
(looking at Teyanna)
Ava Harper stood frozen, She had only just joined, and already felt like she was suffocating...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(smile widened)
Alright then. Let's make it interesting...
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
(tilted head with a smirk)
how about A dare?
Ava Harper
(looked at Lydia with frowned brows)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
hey, Ms. 4 eyes...!!
(snapped fingers in front of her)
Ava Harper
(Looked at him with startle)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
Your dare is simple. First person who enters the cafeteria, you will hug them..!!
(grinned)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(scrolling on IG)
Ava Harper
huh? But.. But What if… what if it's a professor?
(panicking)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(chuckled darkly)
Then you will be remembered in history of this university...
Some students laughed while some just pitied that girl.. But there was no one who could oppose this group..
Ava Harper
Please… I can't—
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
If you refuse then don't forget your punishment, you'll be our slave for this whole week...!
(grinned)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Your life at this university will become very difficult...!!
(voice sharpened)
Ava Harper
(started walking towards the entrance with dead steps)
Every eye in the cafeteria turned towards the entrance Except Teyanna's. She was still looking at her phone...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(using mobile without paying any attention to surroundings)
unknown
(entered the cafe)
A silence echoed in the cafeteria when they looked at the person...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(eyes widened)
Oziel..??
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(fingers paused at the screen)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(laughed)
Now it's really interesting...!!
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(finally looked at the entrance)
He was in black jeans, and a black fitted t-shirt tucked neatly in. Half sleeves revealing veiny forearms...
He was in Simple clothes as usual, but his presence never needed luxury to feel expensive...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(took out his mobile)
Ava Harper
(slowly walks towards him)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(walked right past her without a glance)
He walked away from Ava without looking around, while his eyes were fixed on his phone, studying trading charts..
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(stopped at his place)
Ava Harper
I.. I need your help... Please..
(nervous voice)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(Raised his eyebrow)
His gaze was Cold, Calm and Unreadable...
He didn't utter a single word, but a look that made her more nervous...
Ava Harper
I'm sorry… but can I… can I hug you?
(voice trembled)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(frowned)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(looked keenly at his face)
For the first time, her attention was fully on him....
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(exhaled slightly with annoyance)
A few students chuckled quietly, and some were whispering ..
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(about to turn to leave)
Ava Harper
Please… Someone… someone gave me this dare…
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(paused)
Author
Will he hug her or not??

Epi 2
Ava Harper
Someone… someone gave me this dare…
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(exhaled a shallow breath)
Because He already had an idea who could be behind this stupid ragging thing..
Oziel Clifton(ML)
Not my concern...
(walked toward the counter)
Finally he spoke, but just some words. Some precise words...! Nothing too much...
Ava Harper
(felt more humiliated)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(scoffed under her breath)
Bianca and the others surrounded her immediately...
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
Looks like you lost the dare, sweetie..
Ava Harper
(lowered her head)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(started using her mobile again)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
Now you're our slave for a week...
(winked)
Ava Harper
(looked up with fear in eyes)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(stopped at the reception)
One–
Female
–Cappuccino, with no froth and sugar, right?
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(nodded)
Female
Just 1 Minute, please...
(started making coffee)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(again started looking at his phone)
Ava Harper
Why are you doing this to me?
(voice trembling)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Stop being a crybaby, first Go get some snacks for us...
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
Of course, Baby..
(grinned)
Ava Harper
(shook her head quickly)
I… I need to submit my documents to the admin first. Otherwise I'll lose my scholarship…
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(fingers paused on screen)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(pushed her lightly)
That's not our problem, sweetie...
Before she could fall, Oziel instantly flipped and rushed to her...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(supported her)
The cafeteria went silent again...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(steadied Ava by her shoulders silently)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Oziel dear, don't worry about her. We'll handle this fresher..
(smiled)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(looked up instantly at his name)
Oziel didn't respond. Instead, he did something no one expected...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(gently pulled Ava closer and hugged her)
The Hall was echoed with gasps and whispers...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(expression changed slightly)
Something unreadable flickered in her eyes for the first time...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(jaw dropped)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(arched eyebrow)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
(put hand on mouth with surprise)
Ava Harper
(stood completely still in shock)
It was neither a long hug, Nor an emotional or intimate embrace..
Just a controlled, firm and a light, almost formal gesture enough to fulfill the dare...
but it was enough to freeze the entire Hall...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(stepped back)
His expression was unchanged, as if nothing had happened...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(spared a gaze at Bianca and Ashton)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(chuckled with nervousness)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(glared at him)
Female
Your coffee, Oziel…
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(grabbed his coffee from counter)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(still looking at his back)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(walked to a nearby table)
The students' gazes were still following him..
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(opened his laptop)
But he didn't bother, his eyes were fixed on Trading charts on screen. As if the world didn't exist..
Ava Harper
(looked around)
*nobody's focus is on me now, I should leave, I'll thank him later.*
Ava used that moment to slip away, clutching her bag tightly...
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
Did you see that?
(whispered with shock)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(started using her phone again)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
That Oziel hugged that fresher on his own?
(still looking at him)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
The same guy who rejects every proposal and never responds to anyone?
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(scrolling on phone casually)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(leaned back)
I don't know what attitude he has, but I really don't like that guy...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Neither do I...
(eyes stayed on her screen)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
But I like him, He's actually very handsome...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Stop talking nonsense now, We couldn't even complete a simple dare with that fresher...
(placed phone on table angrily)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
I'll get lunch for us..😅
(instantly got up)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
I'll come with you... 😅
They all were well aware of her anger and irritable emotions, so they preferred to escape...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(still staring at Oziel)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Stop staring at that cockroach...
(sighed)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
(frowned)
Cockroach? At least, Don't call him that..!!
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
He looks like one whenever he wears black...
(rolled eyes)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(looking at the laptop screen with full focus)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
But black suits him though, It feels like it was made for him...
(again looked at him with a smile)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
To me, he still looks like an arrogant cockroach...
(scoffed)
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Arrogance also suits him... Everything suits him ..
(sighed dreamily looking at him)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(spared a gaze at him)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(eyes focused on his laptop)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Huh..!! Snobbish cockroach..!!
(whispered under her breath)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(suddenly looked at her)
There was No reaction from him, Just a calm, blank and distant look...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(placing his earphones while looking in her eyes)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(arched her eyebrow challenging him silently)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(looked at his laptop again)
It was Oziel who broke the eye contact, Not because he lost, but because he simply didn't care...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(clenched jaw)
That annoyed her more than anything else...

(said flatly)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
Huh? What happened now?
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
My mood is ruined...
(grabbed her bag while standing up)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
By what?
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
By seeing someone useless..
(spared an angry gaze at Oziel again)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(eyes fixed on laptop screen)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(turned to leave)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(typing on his laptop with full focus)
She left from there, but Oziel didn't look up, he didn't care, as he had more important goals to achieve than looking at his surroundings..
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(entered the classroom looking on his mobile)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Bro.. Here...
(waved his hand)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(sat beside Dylan in front row)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
You know the whole university is talking about you, right?
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(opened his laptop)
He didn't show any interest or reaction to him...
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
You hugged a girl... seriously??
(chuckled with surprise)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Tch, I missed the scene...!
(sighed)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(glared at him)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)

Oziel Clifton(ML)
Stop gossiping around and focus on the assignment.. Deadline is this weekend...
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Whatever..
(opened his laptop)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Bro, you know, People think you finally evolved into a human...
(chuckled while typing on keyboard)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
People should focus on their GPA instead...
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
(shook head with a snort)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(entered the classroom)
Behind her, Bianca, Lydia, and Julian also entered...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(spared a side eye towards Oziel while going to her seat)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(eyes fixed on laptop screen)
As usual, The whole class's attention was on this group, Except Oziel's..
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(leaned back on her chair while adjusting her hair)
Ava Harper
(quietly entered the lecture hall)
Lydia Vance(FL's frnd)
Ohhh, Well look who came...!!
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
Scholarship Barbie...
(chuckled)
A few students laughed...
Ava Harper
(looked around to find a seat)
But the only available seat was beside Oziel...
And the students also noticed it instantly...
Bianca Sterling(FL's frnd)
Oh, this is getting interesting..
(smirked)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(looking at Ava while curling some strands of her hair around her finger)
Ava Harper
Excuse me, Can I sit here?
(asked nervously)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(lifted his eyes briefly toward the empty chair beside him)
Ava Harper
(bite lower lip with nervousness)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(looked back to laptop screen)
He gave No reaction... No permission either...
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Of course, you can...
(smiled)
It was Dylan who replied instead of Oziel...
Ava Harper
(nodded and sat beside Oziel)
Ashton Brooks(FL's frnd)
(leaned back lazily)
Careful, Oziel.. She might need a hug from you again...
More laughter echoed through the class...
Ava Harper
(face burned red with embarrassment)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
*He's definitely gonna get annoyed..*
(watching Oziel silently to see his reaction)
Dylan Hayes(ML's frnd)
Ashton is such a bastàrd...
(shook head with a sigh)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(continued typing without showing any reaction)
But he simply continued working, As if none of them existed...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(rolled eyes)
That calm indifference irritated her more than it should have..
Professor
(entered the classroom)
And instantly, the class settled down into silence...
Professor
let's start today's lecture...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(looked at the Ppt)
(After the classroom ended)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(going towards her car in parking lot)
She was still so irritated that she didn't notice someone approaching from the opposite direction...
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(walking while looking in mobile)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(collided hard against his broad chest)
Ouch...!!
Oziel Clifton(ML)
(caught her arm instantly)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
(looked at his face with frowned brows)
For a brief second, she stared at him from a dangerously close distance...
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Do you have eyes or buttons?!! 💢
(gritting teeth)
Teyanna Ashford/Tee(FL)
Can't you see while walking, Mr. Blind?!! 💢
(jerked his hand away)
Oziel Clifton(ML)
Then what about you? Where were your eyes, Ms. Vision?
(arched eyebrow)
