The door opened and the everyone became quiet as the Head of the Speech and Debate Club came inside the room. , he says.

, everyone greeted him back.

, he announced.

I silently scoffed as I crossed my arms over my chest, , I whispered under my breath as low as possible.

Not even noticing how everyone was looking at myself and Namra back and forth, why are guys looking at us? Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Why did the Head had to pick that kind of topic? Is the Head into enemies to lovers trope right now?

, I heard my bestfriend mumble under their breath from behind me.

He then brought out a small box from underneath his desk, , he says.

, one of the students from behind me, spoke out of nowhere.

The Head nodded, , he confirmed, , he continued.

I watched him dip his hand inside the box and called the first name before calling the second one as soon as possible. It did not took look before half of the club had been sorted already, it actually took quite awhile before my name was finally called.

, he calls before gesturing me to the left side.

I nodded and made my way to the affirmative side as he called the next one for the negative side. I felt a pair of eyes watching me and I instantly turned to look at Namra's direction, unfortunately she was still not called but not for long.

The Head picked another name for the affirmative side, , the professor called. My eyes widened and snapped my head to look at her in disbelief, wait—we're in the same side?

She stood on the negative side, looking up when she noticed me staring at her. The corners of her mouth curved into a small smile which made me look away with a huff. After the Head successfully divided the club into two teams before the debate finally begun.

I'm not really to keen about the topic he chose for us. This is not good for me. The reason was I'm worried that after this debate, the gossipy members from this club will start rumors. Not just any rumors, dating rumors regarding Namra and myself.

Hence I chose to stay behind and was planning to let my team mates lead the team, she also chose to do the same strategy like what I did to avoid raising suspicion between the two of us. After all, it was Namra's own idea to keep our relationship a secret for now.

But of course, my prayers wouldn't be answered and the opposite would happen. The students from the affirmative team started well and our team was able to fight back quite good as well until one of the students from the affirmative brought out my name and my girlfriend's name.

, she called us with her arms crossed over her chest.

Everyone turned their heads to look at us which made Namra and I shared a look before she stepped up, , she asked the student from the affirmative team.

, she asked, shifting her gaze to her and then to me.

Namra scoffed and mirrored the girl's actions by crossing their arms over their chest,, she answered sassily at her. , she stated.

, she asked her back.

, SHE answered before licking her lips, , she added.

The whole time I was looking down at my shoes, in attempt to avoid any eye contact with anyone because I really would not like the appreciate the attention I would receive especially in this kind of topic. But hearing those words leave my former enemy/rival and now girlfriend's lips, made me look up with curiously to see if they meant it really well.

, the female student asked them out of nowhere.

That questions made everyone turned to look at Choi Namra, awaiting for their answer. My girlfriend looked over her shoulder, making eye contact with me for a brief second before I quickly looked away once I was caught staring. The silence surrounding the classroom was torturing me, I grew more and more anxious as more minutes pass by. Just tell them no, Choi Namra. What's taking you so long?

It did not help that I could feel her staring at the side of my head, I heard her release a deep sigh, shrugging before she pursed their lips, , she casually muttered.

I looked up at them with wide eyes because we were this close on getting caught but I guess she was trying to be risky at the moment which I did not mind at all. After all, I was also getting tired from kissing with her behind the bleachers at school or getting nervous every time someone figures out that we were dating.

Or sneaking out of her dormitory to meet up with each other for a date. I was lowkey getting tired from pretending to hate each other but secretly making out on empty corridors. And don't get me worked up during that one time were we'd hold each other's pinkies as we stood side by side in the crowded cafeteria. Let's just say that I like the thrill and the though of being accidentally caught by someone while sneaking out.

Yet here she was, she had a calm expression resting on her face but I knew she was cheekily grinning at me behind that mask. There were gasps here and there that left the students' lips.

But majority of the population were cooing at the both of us which made me blush and look away. I kept my head down as I nibbled on my lower lip, thankfully though the Head already dismissed the club members now that he was satisfied with whatever he was expecting to happen. Everyone then gathered their stuff and began leaving the room one by one.

Taking this an opportunity to walk past her and mumbling a quick, , I teased her, trying my hardest not to smile.

She rolled her eyes at me, ", she mocked me with a grin, sneaking a wink at me one last time before turning on her heel and walking away.

, I mumbled under my breath as I watched her storm out the club meeting room along with our fellow club members.
