7: Hello neighbour

The dorms in Lakewood university comprised of multiple buildings including small apartments to studio and luxury ones that occupied nearly half the floor which accomadated both men and women.

Students were expected to maintain a level decency and control any untoward relationship from getting out of hand to avoid getting expelled. While there were one or two cases every few years, this didn't stop students from developing relationships and even from living together.

Higher the floor, the more luxurious and expensive it was. While it was initially opened only for honor students, the university had recently opened the premium apartments at a steep price for anyone with large enough pockets. Mark didn't think twice when reserving one for himself.

But given his luck his only neighbor in the floor turned out to be his father's rival company and Aster's successor, Derrick Aster.

Derrick always had a cool demeanor. Excelling in both sports, studies and limited classical music skills, he was almost perfect. Being the prime person Agatha used to compare Mark with, he had taken upon himself to destroy Derrick.

After multiple attempts, he had finally found Derrick's biggest secret. He was a closet nerd. The day Mark broke into Derrick's room he was so surprised that he wondered if he broke into the wrong place. With anime girl figurines, body pillows, posters, mouse pad with boobie handrest and even a twin tail tsundere hologram AI chat bot, the room was the den of a horny otaku.

The moment he confronted Derrick with it he knew he had leverage. Sure, he could expose it right away and cause a huge damage to his rival's reputation. But what's the fun in that? Since then, he reduced Derrick to nothing more than a errand boy.

When Mark got to know that his errand boy would continue as his new dorm neighbour while studying business at the same uni, he didn't make much of it apart from getting a free punching bag.

Never did he think it would also set him up for something embarrassing.

As the elevator door closed, the skirt stuck in between it got torn to pieces. It was only a moment later he realised he was exposed. In fact, he felt much more embarrassing now with a women's cropped hoodie, knee socks and heels than being completely nude before.

"Fuck!!"

"Sarah, Sarah, stand in front of me." Mark tried to pull her as he watched the elevator display change floors.

"Why?" Sarack playfully asked standing still.

"Why? Why? to cover me bitch!" Mark yelled frustrated.

"I don't think that's gonna help. And also, call me bitch one more time and I won't wait a second to throw you out back in the girl's locker room."

"Just... I'm sorry okay.." Mark shuddered. Staring at the display changing floors one after the other, he felt time move so slowly. The sheer thought of what could potentially happen made him dripping pre cum on the floor without realizing.

As they finally reached his floor, Mark only had one thought - to not let his rival and errand boy see him like this.

As the doors opened, Mark dashed towards left to his apartment door, inputting the pass code to open the door all the while looking back to the opposite apartment.

Just as he opened the door, he could hear the familiar sound of door unlocking from the other side. Closing it shut from the inside, Mark looked through the peephole.

On seeing Sarah's annoyed face, Mark wanted to open the door for her only to stop after hearing the familiar voice.

"Hi!" Derrick called out to her.

"Umm.. Hi.."

"You are..?"

"Oh... I.. I am from... I am Mark's girlfriend." Sarah corrected herself, smiling a little. "I am just here to check up on him... He seemed to be a little... under the weather today.."
