[indent]He played the previous night over and over in his head.  The drinks he downed one after the other.  His head still spinning even now as he walked towards the teacher who was so lucky to have him as an assistant.  He had a few papers to drop off for them, but his mind was everywhere except OIC and it showed on his face as he moved with a purpose, passing students who glanced at him with lust-filled eyes.  How did he manage to wake up in bed with two girls he didn’t know?  On top of that, how did he end up naked?  The morning kiss one of them dared to give him was proof that he’d done more than he thought that night and the thought caused his pace to quicken.  After trying to wrangle in everything swarming in his head at that moment, he remembered excusing himself from the room and locking himself in his bathroom until the girls decided to leave.  

What was wrong with him?  He was spiraling and he didn’t know why.  He was passing all of his classes with an A.  He was focusing on making the Dean’s List again, but what happened between him and Zach still bothered him.  He thought they were good until he told Zach how he felt, then things started to change.  It hurt.  He loved spending time with Zach and now it was more of a “I’ll see you when I see you” situation and he didn’t feel comfortable in it.  Did Zach even consider him a friend or just someone to use when he needed help with his assignments?  Zach had given him no explanation, and he felt that it would stay that way.

Jeim turned the corner and slammed into another student.  Andrew.  It was no secret that Andrew liked him.  He made it blatantly obvious on every social media platform he was a part of.  Still, it was cute but Jeim didn’t lead him on.  He explained his positioning, but that didn’t stop Andrew from being flirtatious.

“Well, well, sexy.  I see you recouped from the party last night,” Andrew said after checking to make sure Jeim was alright.  The collision had knocked them both back, but neither had hit the floor.

“[color=73BDD5]Andrew, I would say it’s a pleasure, but I’m running…[/color]” Jeim stopped in mid-sentence as he thought about what Andrew said.  “[color=73BDD5]Wait, you were at the party?[/color]”

“Yea, yea I was.  You were lit.  I’ve never seen you like that.  You were dancing and we made out.  It was a complete turn on.”

“[color=73BDD5]Okay Imma stop you right there, let’s just go about our day alright?  You have a good one Andrew[/color],” Jeim said as he smiled and walked briskly away from Andrew.

Andrew watched as Jeim walked away, a grin on his face as he disappeared around the corner.

“Call me later, I gotta ask you something,” Andrew called after Jeim.

“[color=73BDD5]Professor, sorry I’m late, I have the papers you asked for,” Jeim said.  He gently placed the stack of papers on the teacher’s desk and smiled.  “If you need anything else, let me know.[/color]”

“Thank you, Mr. Yang.  Keep up the good work.  I hear you’re helping more than just me this semester.  Are you sure you’re not overdoing it?”

“[color=73BDD5]I’m good.  I still have free time so it’s all good.  You have a great day Professor.  Oh, I’m headed to the cafe.  Did you want anything?[/color]”

“Ahh, no thank you Mr. Yang, but I do appreciate it.  Be safe and slow down.  I fear if you keep at this pace you’re going to burn yourself out.”

“[color=73BDD5]Thank you for your concern Professor, but I will be alright.  See you tomorrow.[/color]”

Jeim left without another word, headed to the quad to drop off some papers for the Librarian.  She’d asked him for a little help and he had obliged.  As he walked through campus, he couldn’t help but notice the various looks he got from students he didn’t know, and some he did.  Everything came to light when he saw the bulletin board with all of his friends and associates’ pictures.  Lola, Zach, Riley, Laren, Tyler, Eden, there were called the ‘Elites' and it made Jeim shake his head as he took a picture of the board.  

“[color=73BDD5]Is that Katie?  Oh I know she’s livid.  That picture is definitely not flattering.  Oh hell, and Tyler, she’s probably trying to figure out who posted this.  No doubt she’d punch them in the face.[/color]”

Surprisingly Jeim didn’t mind the board.  He had other things going on that required more of his attention than someone trying to profile them.  Still, he wondered why they called him the ‘Icon’ when he wasn’t anything special.  After snapping a few pictures of the board, he sent it to Riley.  He hadn’t spoken to him in about two weeks after their last encounter ended in an argument.  Sighing, he turned and made his way towards the cafe.
