Chapter 1

First Encounter… 

Pearly 's POV

Life is in full bloom when you are in your teens. I am one such a blooming teenager, perfect life, two best friends, loving and caring parents and NO boyfriend. Yes, strangely but I am happy that I am single. So no dominations, no being exclusive.  Just free wild cats who are free to enjoy their lives, wear what they like, go where you wanna go and date whosoever you want to. Though we trio are complete, no need of dating. We happily enjoy our lives but Guys I mean Hot Guys are meant to enjoy just as beauty is to admire.

It poured last night and the weather was pleasant. Though it was not raining now but the wet grass smelt amazing ,streets were gleaming, dark clouds spread all over appearing like curtain raiser. So we decided to take off from school today and have fun. This was not the first time we were doing it, we repeated that very often, kinda spoilt brats which we were with a difference. Yes!!! a bit of difference we were good with our grades so favorites of our faculty too.

Suddenly it started raining all over again leaving no option but to rush to the corridors to prevent drenching ourselves. But the best part was that all the hotties would also follow, not after us unfortunately though but to prevent getting wet so time to give ablast to our eyes

We were quiet naughty though as one of the guys slipped down hearing our comments about how hot his ass was. Not too bad as our sense of humour goes against boys, amusing us.

Suddenly Cairo gasped, "Look who’s here?” Cairo is my best friend, we being the group of trio me, Cairo and Stacie.

 Stacie is coming late today due to her dentist’s appointment.

Cairo’s extreme slim '0' size figure with curves at the right parts can make any girl jealous of her including me. Her fair complexion which matches her dark blue eyes and blonde silky hair falling to her shoulders and tempted atleast one guy to fall for her in a week. No wonder she got dating offers very often. She also gets excited too quickly but our friendship loyalties preceed over her dates.

But the sight ahead of us was actually very provoking .The most popular heartthrob player (did I mention player o’ooooh!!!!! that he was), was also sheltered in the same corridor.

With looks enough to kill and a perfectly masculine physique, great height, broad shoulders with a square face sculpted to throb the millions, I had my crush on him on the very first look.

 His deep brown eyes were like valleys, nose synonymies perfection and dripping brown curly hair probably wet due to rain as he pushed them behind making all the girls in the school drool over him; a perfect chocolate boy. No wonder he had the record of highest number of girlfriends.

His charm had mesmerized me when,

Deep in my thoughts I flied

 Searching for words

Which had no meanings

How much so ever I tried

There certainly were some strings

That will lead us to a road together

Suddenly a hand stretched in front of us bringing me back from my eternities’

"Hi! This is Joshan .Joshan Blake.”  He greeted, his personality shouted ‘Attraction’

Dressed in cool blue denims and a white button down shirt which was half transparent being wet due to rains showing off his abdomen muscles and sleeves folded, you need to be blind, not to be affected by his charm !!!!!

“Hi, I am Cairo from science second year……” and so on went her chirpy sweet mouth.

"And you?" he asked as he forwarded his hand to me for a shake.

“Hi, I am Pearly Mathews .Nice meeting you” I said pretending to be very confident which I was not for his too good looks were magnetizing me. I consciously tried to work on my floral top and tight short denim skirt to give myself a poised look which was not very difficult as I had a good figure and averagely good height.

I could feel his gaze into my graygreen eyes as he concentrated on the curls of my tied pony which were dropping down to my waist and continued the conversation ”Science huh?”

"Yep", I answered trying to runaway, my eyes boring into his and finding a way out from humor. “Wild guess huuhh” I said a little sarcastically “since my friend is in science”.

“No I have seen you in physics and bio classes” he replied trying to be intellect.

“I guess someone is a stalker” I amused.

“That’s not the fact, we share the lectures”. He stated a little dejected.

Do you have time enough to notice your classmates with girlie bees always buzzing around you?” I asked a little inquisitive.

“Someone is jealous” he mocked.

“Oh come on..!! I am not a lesbo” I replied strongly which he gestured with an honest chuckle.

“You are so intelligent that I couldn’t help actually notice you” he said looking flirtatiously at me.

Was it a compliment or he's trying to impress me?? I was talking to my innerself

‘Hghh hggghhh…”, a sudden cough from Cairo “I am also here guys”

Is this guy so attractive that I almost forgot my best friend?

“I am sorry. I was just trying to show my soberness to her. A lot of misunderstanding you see” he said and again turned his gaze towards me.

We both giggled. He sure had some magical power for girls.

“So can I borrow your chemistry notes of last week?” Joshan asked

.“Mine????” I was a little taken aback

.“Why not yours? Didn’t I compliment you on your intelligence?” he snapped back.

“That’s quiet an old way to ask for a second meet. Try something new.” I tried to give some space to ourselves. I have to keep our conversations short even though he is sexy as hell and I liked talking to him but end of the day he’s a player.

The buzzing of Joshan’s mobile, even though the device is restricted in the corridors occupied him for a while and we took it as an excuse to walk away.

“What a day man!! HOT stud of the high school asking for our introduction all by himself!!” Cairo was very excited.

“Yeah” I coldly replied still lost in his mesmerizing eyes unknowingly.

Cairo as usual was giggling, talking and grabbing my attention. I actually liked her company.

We were walking to move outside the school trying to avoid the teachers whose classes we were missing and going for a stroll on a pleasant rainy day. It had stopped raining now so we could move out of the premises and refuging in a nearby cafe and wait for Stacie. Suddenly a strong, cold and masculine hand grabbed me from my elbow and pulled me turning me around towards him.

"Excuse me ..." he said huffing from his breathlessness because of running.

"Oh my god! You scared the life out of me Joshan." I yelled at him partially

I tried not to get lost in his deep brown eyes all over again.

"Can I talk to you for a while?" Joshan asked.

"I am not carrying my chemistry notes" I said trying to avoid him and his private talk.

"Excuse me Cairo" he said and pulled me towards the right side entry of the cafeteria.

I got a bit conscious as the cafeteria was usually crowded meaning unwanted attention especially when I was with a playboy of the school.

 It was a big one with white outer walls and blue borders and CAFETERIA written on the entrance with huge bold letters. I guess it was the favorite place of the students, especially during rains as it was the only place with shed with the enormous campus around. We would call it gossip ground for the cheerleaders.

"Leave my hand" I rescued my hand from his grip, anger rushing down my cheeks but I tried to pretend calm. “Tell me what is it?"

"It is kind of private" He turned into his soft gaze .I guess he uses the same on his girls PLAYER as he is. He released me from his touch and stepped a little too close to me making me uncomfortable.

Trying to hypnotize me with his browns, staring continuously into my gray greens he asked in a voice bargained to leave a SPELL “Will you mind being exclusive to me?"

The player, stud most masculine heartthrob of the college just proposed me. Am I daydreaming?? Somebody pinch me!!!! I was shocked with my eyes wide and mouth open unable to calculate or wonder. It is some kind of hallucination, I am sure.

I noticed a sudden smirk on his face and I was trying to find the pick of the game when I noticed his group of friends sitting on the fair end of the cafeteria continuously staring at us laughing, screaming and commenting probably mocking at me. It was time, time to break the ice and I had to do it.

But how?

First case: I cannot shout or yell simply to embarrass myself as this stud was positively famous nor was I ready to accept the stupid proposal .So I burst into heats of laughter.

Second case: How do I deny him when all the girls in the college can simply die for him? But I am not like every second b!tch Wh0r€ of the college. So I planned to take a different dimension.

Mockingly I laughed “Come on Joshan that was a quick one. So what's the bet?" I hid my inner thoughts and spoke in tone of sarcasm.

"What?" he asked laughing a bit trying to catch up with me a little shocked.

"I can see your friends hilariously laughing at us. So I guess it was a silly bet. Sorry you lost." I laughed again.

"So you prove once again I was right" he stated in his sexy boyish accent.

"What and when?" I asked confused.

"Didn't I just acclaim your intelligence?" he pretended cool.

“You never give up flirting. DO you?" I tried to be sarcastically angry with him.

"Yeah and you never take it." Fake hurt, he exclaimed.

"Some other day you try. I gotta leave .Cairo's waiting" I balanced my bag on my shoulders and left.

Joshan was too shocked or ecstatic to answer till I had caught up with Cairo.

With hours of explanation and narration to Cairo about how Joshan tried to prank me and how I narrowedly escaped, we finally landed up at our classrooms to attend the lectures.

No more adventures in a day!!!!

The day went quiet apart from few glares from Joshan's friends who appeared to be slightly glad and more off shocked with my encounter with Joshan.

Girls normally fall for him unlike me..

After my gym and dance classes I crashed home tired which was empty as my parents were working late today.

Being hungry I tossed the leftover pasta from morning in the microwave and headed towards my room. I was so lost in today's thoughts that I preferred to climb upstairs towards my small room in the left corner other than to watch the idiot box in the huge living room on a couch or fat leather sluggy sofa.

I sat on the bean bag and was relishing the food, still lost in what happened at school in the morning. How his eyes were like magnets which would attract mine and I would forget everything. How his touch brought sparks to my body. I guess it’s only because of his popular and handsome image. But I am too shy and stupid for him .So let the bet go.

His words were shallow

But they touched me deep

Oh! How much I desire

To live the moment

Again and again

Liberalize it from disdain

Hurt me not

Instincts asks me to follow

Let him be

One n only for me...

Am I in love?....
