Part I
MEETING HIM

Chapter 1 ~ But he looks sweet?

When I met Sahil, I felt nothing

You know how they say when you'll meet your soulmate or the love of your life, concerning to the theory of pairs are made in heaven, you would know it exactly at the very second that yes, he is the one.

I expected to feel some symptoms like, I felt when I fell in love in my first time.

Time stops, your heart flutters and suddenly it becomes difficult to focus on anyone but him and at the same time you want to lock and hide away yourself to somewhere.

This weird controversy goes in your body.

I knew it, I was in love when I saw Aarav the first time.

But when I saw Sahil the first time, I didn't.

It was unexpected just like Sahil shifting from being the unnoticed character to the main one in my story.

My binder with assignments was pressed against my chest as I made my way towards the tall grey building. The mobile in my navy blue blazer vibrated again, it's mere presence was weighing me down. It was getting harder and harder to take a step forward, as its presence was pulling my attention no matter how much I wanted to ignore my mother's calls.

I halted when the muffled cries from the other side of the second building broke my trance.

I glanced that way.

Not surprised

bullying again

Out of curiosity I glanced back again to get a better look at their victim.

It was, Five of them their bulky bodies were hovering around the person.

I saw brown head in mid of them.

It appeared it was a guy

The guy was looking down, his brown hair cascading had hid his face making it difficult for me to get a proper look of his face. I saw one of the bully waving a big spectacles must be the boy's.

His new maroon blazer's sleeves were torn.

The guy looked unresponsive taking the hits and jabbing with no reactions. As if he didn't care anymore.

I can help him but I was too much of a coward myself. I can't defend anyone.

I turned away ascending the stairs I slid my imaginary id card at the scanner the guard didn't let me in when my card didn't beep in confirmation.

I looked at the guard with a fragile expression,"I lost it while attending my mother at the hospital she's not well" I lied. I do it.
Sometimes big lies, sometimes small lies.

The guard should have caught me lying by now considering how many times I lost my card and used every possible lie.

He gave a soft look falling for it, "I am allowing you only this time"

I nodded gratefully.

I made my way to the hallway for my class.

As I opened the door of room no. 72

Naveen Sir, my shrewd Botany Sir blocked my way,"where's your id?"

I opened my mouth to lie. He closed the door on my face ,"no id no entry Serena!"

I huffed as if he didn't know me as if he didn't know my mother

I peeped through the glass viewer on the door.

My friend Zoya shot me all the best in getting the card again look

I trudged to the office compartment.
If I hadn't wasted my time at the gate I would have got in before Naveen Sir. He won't have stopped me from attending the class then.

The procedure was so tedious filling up the form and on top of that the annoying lady at the office.

Like I expected she was flirting with some other student.

"I was so confused, thanks to you ma'am now I understood everything" the boy gave her a charming smile. He was a newbie, I noticed with his new course book set.

It was admission time. Newbies have to be around us now.

I sighed, the conversation didn't look to reach the end any sooner.

"Excuse me ma'am" I said.

She started talking loudly to shut me up, "Teachers are here round the clock for your help you don't worry in no time you would catch up with other students" she said lies lies. Everyone speaks lies.

It's been a year still I can't catch with what is taught and what I had to study. Like two parallels, they never meet.

"Excuse me Shailza Ma'am" I used her name to get her attention but she only turned her body to the right, showing me her back to me,Can't blame much ma'am, he really had a pretty face one that could turn heads . But not my type anyway even if he was I would still be never good in that department not to forget, pretty boys were bad luck for me.

I was missing my class.

I tapped on guy's shoulder, "hey new student?" I asked the obvious question.

He stared at me dumbly, now that I have interrupted the conversation I looked at Shailza ma'am,"I need a new-

She slid the form giving me a dirty look before I could complete.

I started filling it quickly everything was memorized by now meanwhile she had again pulled the guy in her never attending advises.

My eyes landed on the guy's slip on the set.

He was in my batch.

He had to be intelligent or super rich to be in the best students batch.

Suddenly an idea popped in my head to attend my class before it ended by the the time I was done with getting my new id.

"I can help you in walking to the class room no. 72 is located in the farthest corner-

I cut her off.

"I can do that ma'am and Naveen Sir himself said to me to see that the newbie-" I corrected myself, "new students have no trouble in settling down here"

"Come I'll guide you" I called him quickly before Shailza ma'am could say anything.

The guy also quickly followed, relieved to be freed of a desperate woman's clutches.

I ambled with the guy behind to catch up.

"What's your name?" I asked on the way.

"Faisal, by the way thanks for saving me I thought she would never stop" he said.

"She never does, unless and until she collapsed from the loss of breath" I told.

He looked at me in shock believing me on studying my perfect serious face.

"You are lying?" he asked doubtfully

I shrugged, "listen you're my distant cousin you know nothing you need my help" I said before opening the door of the class

He frowned, opened his mouth to ask questions.

Naveen Sir stopped in mid of drawing the structure on the white board. With entire class's attention diverted on me or particularly on Faisal, girls openly gawked at him.

"Sir my cousin here just got the admission. Knows nothing about the schedule and course. We will sit at the back to not disturb the on going class" I walked between the rows with confused Faisal on tow, he nodded at Sir after giving the slip then followed me.

We sat at the back.

By the time Naveen Sir could process that I was lying or not. And I got in the class without the card, he shot me a hard look then continued the class.

One thing was good the teachers here never let anything hinder their classes.

"I don't know how it was 1:3? Will it hurt him to explain again?"
Zoya complained how she couldn't understand what Sir taught today, while we reached the photocopy machine cause I couldn't get the worksheet by the time it reached me it was only one left that I gave it to Faisal who wanted to ask so many questions for which I have no time. I had to finish my Zoology assignments today we had oral test and break was going to end soon.

"We will ask him in doubt class don't worry' I said, relieved to find there was no line I rushed to get it photocopied quickly.

Only a maths student was near it with a heap of sheets. Maths students came to use our machine often because they broke there's often.

"Let me get these five sheets done then you can carry on with .." I said to the guy who struggled to know how the machine works.

"Here" I stepped in front to demonstrate him to save his and mine time.Believe me, I was socially handicapped, if it wasn't my work I would be a mess in front of boys.

My eyes caught the torn blazer sleeves. I looked up it was the boy who was bullied in the morning. He really needed a haircut as it was reaching on his neat pair of spectacles, neat because it wasn't too big nor small it suited his face. He had bruised cheeks. Overall he looked sweet and innocent.

He shifted back feeling conscious on my blatant staring at him.

I pulled my eyes back to the machine fiddling with the buttons then I looked back at him again, at his red id card for his name.
