The Alleys of the Cambridge were bustling with young energy, students voices and footsteps echoing every lane, one such student stood out of the crowd, alone in her own world.
She had warm honey brown eyes that glittered with her intelligence, her auburn locks were tied into a high pony, she wore a maroon frilled skirt that went till her knees which matched with her white blouse, She adjusted her reading glasses as her eyes roamed through the book in her tender hands, her beautiful finger moving through the enchanting poetry in which she was engrossed.
A sigh left her pink plump lips and she looked up, removing her glasses, she tucked them inside her bag which was labelled ' Odette Willow '.
''Hey bitch!'' the haughty voice of Margret echoed through Odette's ears, then all she knew was some dirt hurled towards her that ruined her skirt .. Odette's little eyes filled with salty tears as she dusted her skirt, she was used to this extreme torture every day, so she decided to ignore it yet again. Every day she had endured disrespect for being the loner.
'' Boo! The weeping willow is weeping again! Such a shame!'' Margret cussed grabbing everyone's attention, later on, the whole school started laughing at the poor girl who had no friends, She is a gorgeous girl who never knew her beauty, her beauty was pure and delicate and she never acknowledged that.. tears cascaded down her pink cheeks and onto the floor, hugging her book onto her chest she ran away in humiliation .. it was not new, she was always humiliated for being a book worm and a girl with no friends.

She developed a key from her purse, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she pushed the key into the keyhole, after a familiar click, the door to her hostel room creaked open, it was that door that opened to her safe haven.
It was beautiful and airy, the lace curtains were draped over the French windows allowing the sunlight to enter without any intrusion, she loved it here, it was her own heaven where nobody came to disturb her ever .. she sighed sadly and sat on her queen-sized bed decorated with white sheets, the wall was painted in Pastel colours, The window opened to a generous view of the city while she arranged a bit of plant in its place .. Mostly lavenders, it was her favourite flower, it was a light colour, an essence of elegance and delicacy
She decided to go shopping for some groceries, she took out her shopping bag, her hair tied into a bun, she changed her skirt into a lavender pencil skirt. Ruffling her baby hairs a bit, she glanced at the mirror before locking the door and tottering out
♡ ♡ ♡
'' How much for there miss??'' she asked with her honey-sweet voice, the lady at the shop smiled at her, this girl charmed everyone except her college mates, she wished every person that crossed her path, politeness lacing her voice. Skipping her way through the lanes of London, she donned a happy face.
''50 dollars'' the shopkeeper smiled at her handing her the receipt.
'' Thank you so much'' she wished the lady goodbye and hopped off onto the busy streets of the capital city of the United Kingdom, her fingers moved through the bag that held her groceries as she peeked if everything she wanted was there or not.
As she hopped and walked through the crowds it got colder, she hugged her white leather jacket over her body to produce more warmth, she rubbed her hands together to provide extra warmth. She let out a breath, a fog of condensed air left her lips.
She looked down at her legs as she moved easily through the crowds. That's when she suddenly bumped into somebody as she was walking carelessly, as she was about to fall on her face, the stranger grabbed her waist just within the brink of time, she gasped, grabbing the collar of the guy's crisp suit .. her eyes shutting close due to the fear of breaking a bone or two.
Her closed eyes fluttered open and she saw the most beautiful pair of sapphire blue eyes she had ever seen, the guy had raven hair which was perfect to his white complexion, accentuating his perfect features, his sharp jawline could cut the hardest of metals, she felt his muscles just by touching his biceps, they were like carved from the stone, she felt the time just stop as they guy gazed deeper into her honey-brown orbs, his soft pink lips were parted that made his perfect nose look more sculptured, he was the most gorgeous man she had ever met. Chills formed on her body as his eyes scanned her body, her grip loosened on his collars.
Then all she felt was his soft plush lips lock with hers into a tender kiss , she just froze like a stone holding onto the stranger that just gave her, her first kiss and she didn't even have the time to reminisce feeling.
She suddenly shot out of her reverie when she heard clicks of cameras, she turned around, her auburn locks hitting the charming stranger in the process, lots of media and paparazzi crowded the couple as if the president had just arrived.
She turned and looked that the guy smirking at her, her perfect brows furrowed as she glared at the stranger for grabbing such media attention, she looked at the guy one more time, drinking in his tall godly figure, his blue eyes shining with mischief.
'What is wrong with this guy? Why? Does he kiss every random stranger he meets?' her inner girl asked her folding her hands across her chest, she shrugged her shoulders as she was confused by what was happening herself.
Before the media could bombard her with questions, she shut her eyes and ran away, leaving her scarf on the floor, she heard the handsome stranger yelling at her to stop frantically but she paid no heed to him until she was very far from there, she didn't want to see that man again.
Her steps halted as she gripped the nearby pole to catch her breath and calm her racing heart , she placed her palm over her chest, an action to soothe her soul, she need some time to recall what just happened, she closed her eyes and his image formed on his eyes , and strangely butterflies erupted in her heart.
An Adonis of a stranger man helped her from falling and in return kissed her , she never held a guy's hands before forget kissing one, and her first time was a stranger? She felt depressed by the thought but at some corner of her heart, she wanted that beautiful man to kiss her again and she despised herself for such a thought.
She shoved off her thoughts and proceeded towards her home , her mind wandering into the thoughts of that handsome stranger.

As the needle of the clock neared 8:30, she decided to make something for dinner , she grabbed a packet of noodles and started making the schezwan flavoured one , humming the tune of Rihanna's new song, she finished her cooking within minutes, she was not hungry after today so decide to go sleep with a light stomach
She grabbed her TV remote, making herself comfortable on her couch , she scrolled through her Television, That's when something particular caught her eye , her face on the screen and her name flashing the headlines
Her face lost all its colour when the news flashed images of her and the stranger kissing, the headlines wrote:
Young and Successful Multi-Billionaire Eric Carter was found kissing a random girl he saved on the street, and later on , Mr. Carter was found following at calling the girl, The girl is identified as Miss Odette Willow, 2nd year, Cambridge University, 20 years old .. Miss Willow's exact location is yet to be found..
The fork in her hands fell onto the floor with a clank! Her lips quivering in fear and astonishment, Who the hell was that guy? How is he so famous? She felt her palms getting sweaty and eyes glossy.
That's when she heard a knock on her door , she shot out of her trance and in a weary stupor opened the door to find Margret , a frown touched her lips when she saw her.
''So? Now ugly Odette is kissing billionaires eh? Became a whore now?'' she spat at her, jealousy radiating from her body, she was taken aback by her bluntness.
'' Margret, I don't know who he is in the first place, there has been a mistake!'' Odette shot back with equal vigor, she didn't want someone to accuse her just like that!
'' You don't know Eric Carter?!! You don't!? In which era do you live bitch!! The most handsome guy on earth just kissed you and you are so cool!?'' she boomed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
'' Ugh! I don't know any Parker or Carter, Just leave me alone!'' she shouted, shutting the door onto Margret's face, sometimes Margret gets on her nerves, everyone was rude with her and she always wondered why?
Odette let out a deep breath and made her way towards her bed. Opening her windows she sighed as the cool wind of London caressed her face, she tied her hair into a simple bun and sat on the bed, her eyes looking at the stars earnestly
Snuggling under her warm duvet, she fell asleep with the thoughts of a stranger who pulled her into a trance of tranquillity.
