For those of who are new, that was my previous cover for this book.

Sandy's POV

I woke up late today.

Dan stayed with us and ate dinner. Then we watched a horror movie and he went back after that.

I slept late and now I'm rushing.

I skipped washing my hair today. Its clean anyway.

"Hey mom! Good morning!"

I ran and hugged her.

"Whoa! Someone's in a good mood today. Did you sleep well?" My mom asks me surprised.

"Yes."

I'm not lying. I'm feeling pretty good today. I hated the hospital food. Everything was boring there. Now I feel like home. Though it's new, I love it here. Just that I miss Dad and Liam. Hope they are fine out there.

**

I made it to college in time. Its actually early. I reached faster than I calculated. Its far compared to my previous place and takes around 45 minutes to reach here.

Dan told me he had to attend some family function and can't come today so I guess I'll be alone today or make new friends, I don't know.

I was on my way to class when I saw a familiar face.

Ryan freaking Mathews!

My EX- BOYFRIEND!

OH GOD!

Way to spoil my mood.

He'd been dating me for a few weeks when he misunderstood Liam as my boyfriend after seeing a selfie sent by my own brother cos he don't like him. He immediately blocked me and didn't give me a chance to explain and hung up in me.

I was mad at Liam at first but understood why he did that. He knew Ryan was a playboy and didn't want me to be hurt.

The next day Ryan spread the news that I cheated on him and that he dumped me. I couldn't believe him. He then hooked up with Rini, the obnoxious girl who had this crush on him cos he's popular.

Of course he came to know the truth and apologize afterwards but I didn't find it acceptable. So I rejected him.

Ever since then, he's having mood swings towards me. Sometimes he'll flirt, sometimes try to make me jealous and sometimes try to insult me.

I was glad high school's over and I won't meet any of them but...

Wait, does he study here? I didn't see him on the first day. I was in a hurry that day though. And because of my injury I missed the other class. Thank god I have Dan's notes. But this annoying guy is here.

Oh! he's winking at some group of girls and they're smiling back. Duh!

I don't know what these girls are thinking. I know he's kinda hot with those tattoos and piercings but he's not as hot as.......

At that moment I see Alex entering the class I was going in.

And my mind answered...

Alex!

Now where does that come from? There are a lot of hot guys out there. Duh!

I wanna enter the class without letting this villain notice me. I don't wanna spoil my mood.

He finally went away. Looks like his class is in the end of the hallway which is History class.

Boring subject. Just like him.

I enter the psychology class. Its still early and there are less students.

There are a few dudes out here. No girls yet except the one on the last who's sitting with a guy. I don't know anyone here.

Then I see Alex.

He's reading something. He's the good guy type. I can't ignore his big blue shirt though. Its funny but he kinda looks cute in that.

"Hey. Whats up?"

I go and sit right next to him but he distances himself a little.

Then I move close to him.

And he moves a little away.

And I close up.

Moves away.

Close up.

"What?" He asks slightly irritated or amused? His eyes are gazing through mine.

"Why are you moving away?" I ask him with a smirk.

"I don't like to sit very near with anyone."

"Oh come on! No guy on the planet has ever said that to me."

"Really?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Well I suppose you're out of this planet then."

"Maybe."

"What?"I ask confused.

"Nothing." Is he blushing right now? No, I'm the one. What's happening to me?

Be normal Sandy.

We keep silent for a few seconds before I speak up.

"Hey I wanna ask something."

"Go on."

"Where did you disappear last time. Dan went to check on you but you were not there."

"You mean after you pulled your little stunt?" He ask me clearly not happy with what I did. Of course it was funny but who'd not be angry right?

"I'm sorry about that. It was just for fun. I didn't-" The students stood up as Mr Adams came in and I didn't get to finish my apology.

The lecture started and I was listening to it but I kinda involuntarily side glanced Alex.

He's cute. Those green eyes covered by long lashes, killer cheekbones and those full lips. He's the male version of beauty.

C'mon Sandy! What are you thinking?

I didn't even turn his side after that. I know I'm acting weird. I haven't behaved like this ever.

Class gets over and now I'm packing. Alex went out first. He didn't even turn to my side. Is he ignoring me? Really? I didn't even get to finish my apology.

"Hey! I didn't get to finish-"

"Its ok. You don't have to say anything. I forgive you." He cut me off.

"Um..ok....Are you going for lunch?"

"Yes."

"I don't like to eat alone."

He just smiles at me. "Ok?"

"Are you coming to eat with me?" I ask. Isn't that obvious?

He finally got it and nod.

**

It was time to go back. I was walking to the parking.

In case you're thinking about the lunch, he didn't talk much. He just told me he lives alone and he doesn't have any family. I felt sad. It must've been hard for him. I didn't ask anything else. He didn't either. We talked a bit about the psychology class and that's it.

I reached my car. I inserted the key and tried to start it but it won't. Shit. What's wrong with this car now?

I just walked out. Maybe I have to call a cab. I reached out for my phone but I remembered I don't have any number. This phone is new. My old one was destroyed in the fire. Shit.

"Need a little help?"

I turned around at the men's voice.

"Ryan Mathews! Of course not. I don't need it." I replied immediately.

"Oh come on. You need it."

"Uh huh?"

"I know you won't be able to resist me but you can at least try, now that we'll meeting regularly." He smirks at me. The nerve of this guy.

"You know what? I'm going." I turn around to leave but he grabbed my hand. I turned back at this.

I eyed his hand and he immediately removed it.

"Look, I'm sorry for everything. I was childish, possessive and controlling. I admit it. Please let's just forget all of it. We can be friends if you want?" He sounded honest. Something in his eyes told me he means it. He was looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Okay. I forgive you."

"Really?" He asked me unbelievably.

"Yes. But we're just friends ok. Don't keep your hopes up." He smirks at this.

"That's okay with me. Just be careful and try hard to resist me." I roll my eyes at his statement.

"Are we going in my car or not? I don't bite." He points to his car. Its a new Mercedes Benz. He must've gotten in his birthday.

"Okay." I climbed in the front seat and he sat on the driver's.

"Let's go."
