I'm choosing Douglas Booth as Nial Morgan!!

Nicole's P.O.V.

One more day of college over and I make my way to my house which I would never consider as home sweet home. My college is at fifteen minutes of walking distance so I prefer walking.

I passed through the posh area where every single mansion screams money, I too live in a good area but at a good distance from these wealthy rich mansions. I have a nice house, a big one but yes smaller from these big mansions, I'm not a freaking billionaire.

I reached the red and white painted house and our watchman opened the main black iron gate for me. I walked past through the small garden at my side beautifully decorated with flowers and bushes and grasses which were properly cut in an orderly manner and I entered my so-called house.

It is a house made up of bricks, furniture and silence. I, owe this house, NOT. But I live alone in this big house most of the time. I reached my room upstairs at one corner amongst the four corner of this house.

We all are a happy pretending family in front of the world but inside the four walls of this house, we are anything but family!! We all live in our separate rooms, in four different corner of this house. We didn't see each other's face unless and until it is highly necessary and we all have our personal life in which none of the family members is involved.

Yeah, a disorganised family!!

I changed into my comfortables and my caretaker Mrs Weils came with my hot chocolate milkshake. She is my only family along with her husband who is our butler Mr James Weils and their small five-year-old cute son Kian.

"Thanks, Julian", I said to her with a smile.

"You're welcome Cole dear. I hope you remember that today we are having a party so Mrs. Anderson asked me to tell you to be ready for it", she said with a smile.

"I know and I'll be ready on time", I replied and she nodded.

"She asked you to invite Cali also", Julian said while closing the door and I sighed.

I picked up my mobile and called Cali and asked her to join me in this party which my parents are organising. She agreed.

I lay down with my back lying flat on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Nothing to do. So, I decided to take a nap. I woke up with the ringing of my mobile phone. I picked it up and saw it was from my mom.

"Hey mother", I said yawning.

"Cole, where the hell are you? I'm calling you from past five minutes", she complained in her stylish accent, the one rich class people carry.

Even her anger is fake!!

"I was sleeping mother", I replied rolling my eyes.

"You better come to my place now with Cali, I've selected dresses for you both for today's party", she ordered.

"I have a lot of dresses already. I can wear any one of them", I said.

"Please Cole. I don't want to make fool of myself because of you. You didn't even have a nice pair of dress with you even. You should learn something from Cali, how she carry herself, how she-", but I cut her in between.

"I'll come", I said and hung up.

My mother Mrs Adria Anderson is one of the top leading fashion designers. She adores Cali more than me.

Why?

Because I don't have those qualities a high-class rich girl should have. I don't have that typical innocence and elegance which Cali has. So, my mother is ashamed of showing me in her group.

I guess, she would love to have Ashely as her daughter who knows how to get rich boys around her fingertips, how to flirt and all those kinds of stuff rather than me being plain, boring and reserved types who have nothing interesting in her.

I called Cali and she came to my place in ten minutes. I, in the meantime changed into something good, which is good in my mother's liking list.

My wardrobe has two sections, one which contains all kind of dresses I bought and other which my mom gave me in case if I need to company her in any party to wear. But they all are used just once, I never wear them except when I'm with her and she doesn't allow me to repeat the same dress twice.

Show off!!

I chose a blue jacket along with a silver shimmer top and paired them with a black denim and my boots, from my mom's collection and waited for Cali to come.

I heard a car's honking, so I picked up my mobile and purse and moved out of the house and reached her car.

"Hey", I said while adjusting myself in the passenger seat.

"You're looking good Cole, you should come like this to college also. You'll grab a good attention, trust me", Cali said while pulling the car on the road.

"Please, attention from college jerks will be the last thing, I would prefer", I told her and turned on the music volume a more bit.

"But you do want Nial Morgan to notice you badly, ain't you?", She asked with a smirk and my heart skips a beat.

"Change the topic", I replied and looked outside giving Cali a hint to end this conversation.

Nial Morgan, the college's most handsome boy, at least for me. My first day of college and the time I laid my eyes on him, I developed a crush on him within five seconds. From that day till now, I crush only him but it's one-sided.

But he had another plan, he befriended me for getting close to Cali. He proposed to her but Cali denied because she knew about my feelings for Nial. He was sad that day and I broke that day. We're still friends but those 'Hi, Hello' types.

He didn't talk much to us and ignore Cali as much as he can. He talked to me only when Cali is not around. He has dated five girls in past one year, and I'm living in hope of that day when he'll ask me out because I don't have that balls to ask him out. Maybe someday he'll see how much I love him, I can hope till then.

We soon reached the big showroom, my mom owes along with her partner and sister Aaria named 'Adria-Aaria collection'. We both jumped out of the car and entered the large showroom which has bright lighting all over, frame of glasses and white marbles were shining in the light while statues were showcasing the designer dresses.

"Oh, my god. Cole baby, how are you?", Aaria aunt came with a fake smile plastered over her face showing as if how happy she is to see me.

"I'm fine aunt. How are you?", I played along.

"I'm so happy to see you. It has been so long seeing you", she added.

And the award for best actress goes to my aunt!!

I replied with a smile and Cali too greeted them. After that, the most tiresome job of selecting a dress for ME, started because Cali had already chosen her dress.

I wonder how she has such an amazing knowledge of fashion trends and 'I getting the perks of being her friend, got the chance to wear the dress selected by her' was her lines at which I preferred to roll my eyes.

After selecting our dresses, we both moved into my home. I jumped out of the car and take out our bags from the back seat but Cali didn't come out. She remained seated on her seat.

"Ain't you coming?", I asked.

"Is Tim here?", She asked unsurely.

"He usually doesn't stay here but today is a party so he would be here", I replied.

"Oh, okay", she said nervously.

"You don't need to think much about him. Remember, you're here for me and just ignore him", I tried to reason out and she gave me a weak smile.

Tim Anderson, CEO of Anderson's company, hot bachelor of Page 3, a successful businessman, is highly famous for his playboy nature. He has dated so many girls, he stays in his own penthouse and he won't mind sleeping with an old lady if it's about his profit. He's a totally manipulative and money minded person who values money more than anything.

I and Cali both entered the house and I called out for Julian.

"Julian, see who did I brought with me", I yelled.

"Cali dear", Julian exclaimed seeing Cali and broke her into a warm hug.

"How are you? And why didn't you come to meet me often?", Julian complained.

"I'm so sorry Julian, I was busy lately", Cali said.

"With Max", I added and Cali glared at me.

"What you have a boyfriend and you didn't tell me?", Julian asked with a frown and I giggled.

"I.. I..am sorry", Cali apologised and I smiled.

Julian, is a beautiful lady in her early thirties and she is the only best thing my parents have ever done to me. She's with me since I'm ten. She treats me as her first child and Cali also, since she saw us growing up together.

"Julian, please make something good to eat. I'm starving", I said rotating my hand over my stomach.

"Sure, you guys till then go and freshen up", She said and I moved to my room along with Cali.

We were about to move upstairs when someone spoke from behind us, "Aren't you beautiful?".

I and Cali turned and saw Tim standing supporting his back with a pillar shoving his hands inside his jeans with a smirk staring at Cali.

"Look, Tim, we're not int-", I started speaking but Cali cuts me in between.

"Yes, I'm. So, what?", She said and I looked at her with wide eyes.

"I must say, you've turned into a beautiful lady. How much I wish to spend some time with you", Tim said seductively.

At least behave in front of your sister, big brother.

"I ain't interested in you", Cali retorted back.

"Ya sure", he chuckled not believing her.

"You see, we can again spend some time together. You and I alone. I can give you whatever you want, you just have to say only", he said glancing at Cali from top to bottom and coming closer to her.

That's enough of his bullshits!!

"Tim, enough. Just shut up", I yelled.

"Stay away from my life Cole. I'm not talking to you", he told me icely.

"You can't talk to my friend like that", I again spoke whilst Cali maintained a poker face all the time.

"Let her answer, will you? So, Cali babe tell me, how about we go somewhere after the party? You'll have fun with me", He again said.

I looked at Cali, she smirked at first and then move towards Tim in her Catwalk, whilst Tim was staring at her in a creepy way.

It's gross!!

She moved near him and then said, "You need answer right?", And he nodded with a smirk.

She slapped him tightly on his face and I gaped out of schok. My eyes widened and Tim glared at her in anger.

"Hope, you got my answer. You're the biggest mistake of my life and I don't repeat mistakes. Got my point jerk", Cali said and spun towards me and holding my hand she moved to my room. I looked back at Tim who was giving death glares at us.

"Woo, from where did you get so much confidence?", I asked Cali after closing the door.

Well yes, she never faced Tim after she broke up with him. He rejected Cali saying her plain and boring girl and then only, Cali changed herself and now she is the queen bee. But still she always avoided any interaction with Tim, she was still nervous around Tim but today she just nailed it.

"My new boyfriend Max", Cali replied with a smile. I knew she was happy for whatever she did. She finally musters the confidence of facing Tim.

I mentally made a note to thank Max later. He did a great job of regaining confidence in my friend.

"Let's get ready now. We don't want your mother to get angry on you now, do we?", Cali said clapping her hands.

"Seems like I care?", I asked her and she just shook her head.

"But I care. Maybe today you may find someone for you to get you over with Nial", she said.

"That can't happen", I replied and she grimaced.

"We'll see", she replied and then we both get ready for the party.

Let's face this party also.
