Caroline's POV:

After 7 months ----

"How was the paper babes ? " Hannah asked.

"Yeh it was pretty good. " I said chirpily . Yes we had our exams and finally we were going to the second year of college and that was quite exciting.

"Hannah why do you even ask her about her exams ? Don't you know she's gonna top ."

"Shut up Nick !! "

"Who's troubling my princess ? " Aron came from the other side . He came near me and kissed my forehead .

"Go get a room guys !! "

"We won't Nick . She is my girlfriend and I can kiss her anywhere. You understand . " He said winking at me.

"Ohh yeah yeah. "

A lot many things happened these days. I say , " A lot !!!" .

Rebecca came to the cafeteria , with her food.
"How was the paper guys ? " She asked sitting near Nick.

Nick kissed her cheeks and she blushed.

Yes !! This is one of those many things that happened in these 7 months.
Nick and Rebecca were in a relationship since the past 5 months.

Now she was a member of our hang too. I wasn't much comfortable around her , but everyone was , so I adjusted . And moreover , Nick was happy that was all I wanted.

Now lemme tell you how all this happened.

**** Flashback ******
Before 5 months ......

" Caro I wanna tell you something ." Nick said entering into my bedroom . I was reading . So I replied to him , without looking at him.

"Yes Nick ? "

"Caro actually ...."

"Hmm. ? "

"Can you look at me Caro ? "

"Yeah sorry . " I kept the book aside , "tell . " He was indeed looking a bit tensed.

"Umm actually .... "

"Are you going to have a baby , Nick ?" I said laughing , trying to relax him.

"Shut up Caro . It's not a funny thing. Am damn serious. "

"What happened Nick ? Is everything alright ? Did anyone tell you anything ? Tell me his name and am gonna rip him off . " I was really tensed now.

"No no . There's nothing like that . "

"Then what ? "

"Caro I love Rebecca . "

"What !!!!!" My mouth hung open . It was literally touching the floor I guess. He loves Rebecca !! My best friend loves her !!! Shit !!! Am destroyed .

"Caro are you listening ? "

"Umm ya. So what ? You like her then ? "

"I said I love her. "

"Umm sorry , ya you love her then ? "

"What then Caro ? I don't know how am gonna tell her about my feelings . I don't know whether she reciprocates my feelings. What will happen if she doesn't have any feelings for me ? What am I gonna do ? "

"Calm down Nick . Just chill . Do you really love her ? I mean are you sure it's not a crush or something and it's love ? "

"Yes Caro , am damn sure. "

"Fine go and tell her. "

"Are you sure ? "

"Yes just go and tell her . "

"Am nervous .. "

"Go and take some training from Aron and Alec. " I said winking at him.  "They are well experienced ."

"Thanks babes . You are the best . " He said pulling me into a hug .

"I know that . Now go , run !!! "

And he literally went running . What love does to people !!!

Ok now Caroline are you ready for this ? I mean your best friend loves Rebecca . That means you gonna face her each and everyday . Would you be able to do this ?

"I can do anything for Nick . And if he's happy , I don't have any problem. I will manage. " My inner voice said.

And then in the evening , Nick came running and jumping to us. We all were gathered in the hall .

"She said yes . Yahooooo . She said yes !!!!"

"What really ? Am so happy for you buddy. " Aron said.

"Congo dude " Alec said and hugged him.

Everyone congratulated him except me and Hannah . We weren't moving from their.

"Come on walk !! " My inner voice said. But I couldn't . Hey it's not my fault . Damn this adrenaline !!! We looked at each other.

Nick came near us , a bit sad.

He caressed our cheeks and said ,
"You both aren't happy right ? "

"No dude. There's nothing like that. " Hannah said.

"Listen Nick , the only thing you need to know is that , if you are happy then we both are also happy. So don't worry. " I said and Hannah and I hugged Nick.

"Congratulations Mr monkey !! " I said teasing him.

"So where's the treat ? " Angel said rubbing her hands.

"Tomorrow for sure !! "

**"*** End of flashback *****

Yeah this is how it happened .

"It was nice Rebecca . " I said giving her an open mouthed smile.

"Great . " She replied.

"You wanna eat something more babes ? " Nick asked Rebecca caressing her cheeks.

"No baby am full. " She replied .

"Okay so attention attention. Hello all the beautiful ladies and the not so handsome gents present over here " Aron said as if he was hosting a show , " There's an important announcement. We are going to a party tonight. It's at Jordan's place . "

"So are we all going ? " I asked a bit upset .

"Yes babe. We all are going. "

"That's going to be great fun !!! " Nick , Hannah and Rebecca shouted with excitement.

But I wasn't excited. Why ?
Remember I told you about the many things that happened in these 7 months ? Yah yah it's one of them .

Jordan Hills was a new student , who came to our college , the next day of Rebecca. He was smart , handsome , well built , with hazel green eyes. He was someone for whom every girl would die for. ( Except me because I had the most handsome boyfriend . Aron *dreamy eyes* )

He immediately started talking to everyone in the class and became a very good friend of our hang. Initially I thought that he was a play boy , but he wasn't. Instead he was super cute and I was super comfortable with him .

So what was the problem ?

Obviously Jordan wasn't an issue . The issue was Shane , yes Shane Bourgham , his best friend , who also joined our college with Jordan.

Black eyes , a clean face with no signs of puberty , messy hair , tall , handsome and what not !!! He was somewhat like ..... Urgh like something which every girl desired for.

As he accompanied Jordan , even he joined us. But there was something creepy about him. Actually not creepy but something different.

Now lemme tell you , about the first day of their arrival.

******* Flashback *******

"Good morning students . " Mr Stanley wished us .

"Good morning sir. " We all shouted.

"So here guys , I wanna introduce you all to two new students in our college .
Mr Jordan Hills and Mr Shane Bourgham . "

No one actually was interested to seriously look at them , every one was busy in their phones , including me.

But as soon as they entered I heard someone gasp . Actually not someone , it was every girl in the class , including Hannah. ( Except me !! Am I good girl you know !! )

Hannah elbowed me , " Caro Caro Caro !!! "

"What ? " I asked annoyed. Actually I was chatting with Aron . We had different classes today.

"Just look at them . "

"Not hell interested to look at them. " I said. I was engrossed with Aron .

"Shut up and look at them !!!! "

"Hannah what the hell ........." And I stopped in between my words as I looked at them . They were handsome !!! And not just handsome , they were seriously handsome. ( Less than my boyfriend !!! )

"Yeah they are cool . " I said looking at Shane.

Just then his eyes landed on me and we had a small eye lock , but I immediately averted my gazes. I saw him smirk devilishly.

"Isn't that Jordan guy handsome ? " Hannah asked.

"Yes both of them are handsome . "

" Jordan is better. " Hannah said.
I looked at her , she was looking at Jordan , without blinking her eyes .

"Hannah !! Hannah !!! " I shouted shaking her.

"What ? "

"You are seriously checking them out ? "

"No !! "

"Don't lie to me now . "

"Am not lying . Am just checking Jordan out. "

Then Mr Stanley said , " Jordan and Shane , you both can go and sit there . " He said pointing towards the seat behind us.

"What they gonna sit here !! Omg !!! " Hannah said nearly piercing my ears.

Jordan and Shane came and sat behind us. Shane walked past brushing my hands against his. Shivers ran down my spine.

"Hello am Jordan !! " he said giving his hand for a handshake.

"Am Hannah ." She said , shaking her hands with Jordan .

"Am Caroline. " I said smiling at them.

"And am Shane. " He sad smirking at me.

"Nice to meet you guys. " Jordan said.

"Same here . " I replied.

"You are beautiful !!! " Shane said looking directly into my eyes , as if he could see inside them.

God am done !!!!!!!!!!!!
