"I Don't Care How We Met,
I'm Just Happy That We Did"

Kristein's P.O.V.

Next day, we all reached college early. In my defense, I'd like to say that Dan didn't pay any mercy to us and made us get up early in the morning whilst we're suffering from the hangover. It's weekand and we still had college. The whole universe is against us.

Despite of everything, Fred and I managed to get ready on time. We were excited as well to see the special girl who had made our shy boy Dan crazy and restless. She must be really hot, she had got to be beautiful or else why would Dan fall for her?

Boys like hot girls instantly. There's nothing to lie about!!

We reached college thirty minutes before the college timings and stood at the college entrance. We observed every girl passing by us through the main gate. Not a single girl escaped from our sight but Dan's reaction to all the hot girls was in negative.

No wonder for the first time me and Fred got to know that our college had such a huge collection of beautiful chicks. We got tired after one long hour of observing girls and waiting for that girl but she doesn't show up.

God knows, who is she!!

"Dan, are you sure that she's not the one amongst every freaking chick who just passed in front of us", Fred asked almost irritated. I was also annoyed. We had our hungover and we're sleepy too.

"Not yet. She's different guys. She's far better than your term of hotness. She's not fake. I can point her out even from a crowd of hundreds", Dan said with a smile.

"Oh god, just shutup. For god sake stop saying these cheesy lines. Grow up. Be a man", I punched Dan.

"You've wasted our one quality hour", Fred replied and punched Dan too. We both started beating him playfully. But our bro time was halted by a female voice from behind.

"Excuse me", a female voice from behind make me turn around whislt Dan and Fred was busy checking out the girl.

I turned back to saw Aaliya, the girl I met a few days back in canteen standing right in front of me. I smiled and she smiled back at me.

"Is she your girl?", Fred asked Dan in whisper but I heard it.

"No. But she's beautiful and somehow resembles my crush", Dan said.

"If your crush is like her then you're damn lucky Dan", Fred said and Aaliya walked to us in mean time.

I took my time to read her from top to bottom. God, this girl is another name of hotness. Such a perfect figure and gorgeous face. She had got to be my girlfriend.

Before I could approach her, Fred butt in and stood in front of me. I rolled my eyes and punched his back.

"Hey beautiful girl", he said blocking my way and extending his hands to Aaliya, he said, "I'm Fred".

"Hey handsome, I'm Aaliya", She said and I raised my eyebrows. A beautiful girl with such an amazing came back. I'm so impressed.

"I so so like you", Fred replied and Aaliya chukled.

"I like myself too. We've so much in common", she replied and Dan and I both laughed. Fred smirked.

"Get lost now. She's my friend", I said this time before Fred started flirting with her.

I walked to her and shook hand. I asked, "How are you?".

"I'm great. How are you?", She replied shaking hand with me.

"Amazing. After seeing you, I'm fantastic", I said and if I'm not wrong I do saw red tinge over her cheeks. I smirked mentally.

"How do you two know each other?", Fred asked with a frown.

"We met in the canteen", Aaliya replied before me.

"Lucky me", I said and Aaliya shook her head whilst Fred gave me 'Why-don't-you-tell-me' look.

"Hey. I'm Daniel. Nice to meet you", Dan said this time to Aaliya.

"Pleasure is all mine", Aaliya said and he gave her a small smile.

"Kristein. Can I talk to you for a second?", Aaliya asked and then looked at Fred and Daniel.

"Sure. We're leaving", Dan spoke being the understanding one.

"No. You stay here. We're leaving", I said and Dan smiled at me. Fred smirked in response.

"Shall we?", I asked looking at Aaliya and after she nodded, we left those two back to look for Daniel's crush.

We walked over to the garden quitely and occupied a vacant bench there. I sat next to her and waited for her to initiate the talk.

I read her features from this close carefully. She had a wheatish complexion, brown black hair, black eyes and pink lips tempting me to kiss them anyways.

"Like what you see", she asked and I looked away smiling sheepishly as she caught me staring at her.

"Absolutely. What's there not to like?", I asked with a smirk and she blushed.

"So, I want to ask you for a favour", she said and I nodded.

"Sure. Anytime", I replied.

"We've been assigned some projects and I want you to give me some ideas and guidelines", she said.

"I see. Well, no problem. I would love to help you", I replied with a smile and she grinned.

"So, can you come to my place? We'll discuss things there only", she asked again.

"If I had no plans, then I'll come for sure", I replied.

"Great, I'll see you later", she said with a wide grin and then got up from the seat. I too got up and nodded.

We bid good bye and walked to our ways. I came back to the college's entrance where I had left those two morons earlier. But the time I reached there, there was no one. To ask about there current location, I called Fred. He picked up the call and asked me to come to the college library. I hung up and fished my mobile back in my jeans pocket.

I was about to turn around but my eyes caught someone coming towards me from the entrance. It was HER.

She was running towards the gate hasitly. She's one of the most ordinary girl one could see. After checking out a bunch of hot girls, this girl seems so plain. I remain rooted to my place watching her entering the college with her head bowed down to the ground and her mobile. Her hands were busy scrolling her mobile screen.

She walked past me without appreciating my presence but I did appreciate her amazing perfume. I kept staring at her retreating figure. Does she recognise me or not? But she hadn't seen me that day. Today also, she left without sparing single glance at me.

Why are you being affected by her?, My mind said.

I am not, I consoled myself.

Shutting down all the inner voice inside my head, I walked over to the library. I spotted Daniel sitting alone on an empty  table. He was reading a novel but his eyes were fixed to the library entrance only. I sat by his side.

"What are you doing here? Care to explain where that jerk Fred is?", I asked. Daniel pointed towards the side table.

I followed his direction of hand and found Fred busy flirting with a girl on the side table. I rolled my eyes.

Typical Fred.

I turned my attention back to Dan and he said, "I thought to give a try in the library also since I couldn't found her at the college entrance. Hopefully she'd come today also". I nodded.

"Ok. I'll wait with you. I ain't going to class alone", I replied and pulled out a business section newspaper, the thing I like to read daily.

For a couple of minutes, I do checked out every face which enter and exit the library but later my paper got me so I focused on reading. Waiting is a boring task to do. It's tiresome.

Around fifteen minutes​ later, Dan  vehemently shook my shoulder saying, "Kristein. She's here. Look, she came". He tightly held my arm.

"Leave my arm, you'll pull it out of my body", I jerked my hand away from his hold angrily and looked in front. There was no one though.

"Where is she?", I asked.

"She's sitting right over there", Dan pointed to the corner most table but I couldn't see that girl's face. She had a book in front of her face. As soon as she placed the book on the table, my eyes widened.

Holy fudge!!

It's that unnamed girl. I glanced at Dan in disbelief but he was busy staring at his crush. It took me whole one minute to register the fact that Daniel, the hottest boy of this college actually fall for a weird, plain girl like her. That girl who ignored me twice in a row.

That girl whose attention you want badly, my inner self mocked.

No. I don't, I replied.

"Dan, Are you sure she's your crush? You could've found much better", I spoke out my opinion.

Daniel did disappoint me!!

"What? Of course, I'm sure. Can't you see how beautiful and breath taking she's? Are you blind?", Dan asked as if it's the most obvious question.

"Not me but you for sure need an eye doctor", I replied and fished out my mobile and dialled Fred's number.  After two ring, Fred glanced at his mobile and then he looked in my way.

"What?", He mouthed me.

I texted him, "Dan's crush is here" and send him. Fred read the message and then smiled.

"Coming", he texted back and then after excusing himself, walked to our table and joined us.

"Who is the lucky girl?", Fred said as soon as he sat next to us.

"The girl in the corner most seat", I said pointing towards her and Fred looked at her. His expressions mirrored mine.

"I never knew that you have that bad taste when it comes to girls. What were you even thinking?", Fred spoke looking all disappointment. I enjoyed his look but Dan glared at him.

"Cut it out guys, She is THE best for me. And you both morons can took your ass up and get out if you don't want to help me. But I won't listen anything false against her", Dan said.

"But, what's even best in her? I mean just look at her. She looks nothing more than a nerd school girl", Fred said observing her and I nodded my head agreeing with him.

Beautiful nerd, my innerself said.

Shutup!!

I spoke, "Listen to us Dan. There are plenty of beautiful girls in this college which suits you and your personality but she is not worth you. You're too good to be with someone like her".

"Couldn't agree more", Fred replied.

"I don't care about your stupid position or your definition of beauty. For me she's beautiful and I know I won't regret giving myself a try with her. If you both don't want to help me then it's really ok. I can peruse her all by myself", Dan replied and I glanced at Fred. He huffed.

"Fine. We'll help you", Fred said and I nodded. After that we started thinking of plans to initiate 'The Talk' with her.

Finally, you'll get the chance to know her name, my innerself said.

And she might see your handsome face too, my mind replied.

You both shutup!!

Why am I excited to get her attention? She's not my crush. She's Dan's eye candy. For someone like me, Aaliya is worth to have me not her. I glanced at her once again. She was busy reading her text book.

Why is she giving me strange feelings?
