❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My ice blue eyes met with thunder grey eyes.
It felt as if the time has stopped.

I could feel current flowing through my veins.
Every part of me was craving for him.
I could feel the pain in his eyes. I just wanted to take the pain away....

I could feel the stinging pain on my shoulder. I felt as if the pain was connecting me to him.

It felt like this moment me and him were one soul.
As if a thread was connecting both of us.
A delicate thread that... -

Somebody cleared her throat.
" Miss Dragoland, if you have stopped ogling Nicholas, then i would suggest that you pay attention to your text book lying in your desk. "
Lady Maria snapped.

" Sorry maam, i was just a bit taken aback, i mean he is-"
I was cut off before i could finish my sentence.

"All of us are taken aback, but that doesn't mean you will stare at him like that. We all know that Mr. Nicholas is already going through a lot, and the best we can do is to give him a normalcy.

"Yes maam, i understand. "
I said

" Good, now open your textbooks. As you are well aware that this will be your final year of studying chemistry, and i want that you learn it pretty good. You may never know when the knowledge of chemistry will cone in handy."

She gave the info and all the topics we were gonna cover in this semester.

I truly loved chemistry.

" So let's begin with Chemical Bonding"

The rest of the hour passed in a blur.

I just couldn't ignore the feeling that nick was staring at me.
NICK!!!
When did he became Nick for me???

First day of school and I'm totally going mad.
Finally the bell rang, i packed my bag, and hurried out of class.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lunch hour

The first 3 periods passed in a blur. All i could think about were those grey eyes.
The grey eyes, that looked into my soul.
The grey eyes that belonged to...
Nicholas.
Why him of all people.

It was finally lunch hour, i decided to go to washroom to check up my shoulder.

I went to my locker, and put my books in there. While i was closing it, my best friends again hugged me from back.

What with them and hugging from the back.

"Hey Karen, Hey bell, could you please explain why are you guys hugging me from the back, since morning??? "
I asked after untangling myself from the awkward hug.

" We missed you soooo much. "
They replied at the same time.

That made me laugh.
" Yes I've been hearing this since morning. "
I shoved them off.

Suddenly my shoulder epidermis started aching pretty badly.

I tried to bite the pain in my mouth.

But still a painful moan escaped from my mouth.
" Ahhhhh, owww!!"
I fell down, while clutching my shoulder.

My two best friends came to my aid.

"Oh my gosh Soph, what the hell did just happened. "
Karen said while helping with to stand up.

" Are you alright Soph ??? "
Isabella asked me worriedly.

" Do i look like I'm all right. This pain is even worse than monthly cramps. "
I snapped.

" Iam sorry, i was just trying to help you. "
She said apologetically.

" I know, I'm sorry, this stinging pain.... Its just its bothering me since morning. I cant even look at it."
I sighed

"Would you like us to look at your shoulder?? "
Karen asked

" That will be a great idea. Will you guys help me to go to washroom?? i wanna see it too.. We have mirrors there. "
I asked trying to ignore the stinging pain.

" Yes, that's a great idea. "
They again replied at the same time.

5 minutes later

" Holy hell. "
Karen swore.

" Bloody hell. "
Bell swore too.

" Wh-what happened, why are you two swearing??? "
I asked.

We were in the washroom.
Luckily the washroom was empty so we locked it.
So here I'm, without my dress, with my back towards the mirror.

" Why didn't you tell me that you were betrothed Sophie???
Bell asked with a raised voice.

"Wh-wh-what!!!! "
I was shocked.

" How could you hide such a big thing from us?? "
Karen looked sad.

" What why??? Iam not betrothed.. Who told you that??? "
I was now irritated, they must be joking.

" Will you two please stop joking, and tell me what's the problem with my shoulder??? "

" You stop lying to us. And your shoulder??? How are you planning on explaining this mark???
Bell said, while passing me her makeup mirror.
I looked at it.

I was shocked at what i saw.

Just where an unmarked shoulder existed... There was a ancient tattoo covering the skin.
The mark of being betrothed.
The mark of being engaged to my soul mate.

The mirror fell from my hand.

"What, this cant be happening
This can't, i cant be betrothed, i dont-i can't - i dont wan-want - to-"
I was crying now.

My biggest fear was coming to be true.

"Hey, soph, please dont cry.. Everything will turn out to be good. There hasn't been any announcement yet.Do you know who that boy is??? "
Karen asked, while rubbing my shoulders to calm me down.

" How c-could i??? I n-n-never had any d-d-dream a-b-bout him??? "
I stammered.

" Shhh, dont cry babe. Its just a mark, first you stop crying. "
Karen said.

" Go wash your face first, we will think this through. First we will eat lunch, then attend the classes, the go to our favourite secret spot, and have a group discussion. How does this sound???
Bell asked.

"This sounds like a great idea bell. Now you soph, go wash you face, and make yourself normal. We will waiting for you outside the door. "
Karen ordered, and they left me alone in the room.

I looked at my face.
My face was red by all the crying.
My eyes were swollen.
Nervous frown covered my forehead.

I grabbed my dress from the floor, slipped it over my aching shoulder and zipped it up.

I washed my face, applied liner and gloss, and came outside the washroom.

"Are you alright now??"
Karen asking, while putting one hand on my other shoulder.

"Yes, enough to pass the next 4 periods. "
I replied.

" That's good. Hey look at time!!!, we only have 15 minutes of lunch. Lets hurry and get something to eat, I'm starving. "
Belle said.
Just at the same time, a horrible sound came from her stomach.

" See, my stomach wants food. "
Belle said, rubbing her shoulder.

Karen and i made eye contact, and we laughed.

" OK, lets go feed this stomach of yours, before it attacks us. "
I said taking my purse and bag from my locker.

" Sounds like a good plan. "
Replied Karen.

I shut my locker, and then we three made our way to lunch room to eat.
Little did i know that i am not gonna get any food.
