Chapter 2

After that day.. I almost forgot about that incident since I was busy with my college entrance exam and I successfully get into a good university and I am damn happy ... As soon as I get the news I ran to mom's hospital and she was so happy.. I got a full scholarship thanks to my sports performance.. Now I can save more money for my mom

"athy... Hey athy..."

"huh.. What..?"

I asked finally coming out of my daze jenny stared at me worried.

" are you OK..? You are in daze all day.." jenny asked..

It's been a month since we become freshman in uni but even though it happened so long ago.. Whenever I saw couples kissing in the campus or outside .. I got reminded of that incident... about him.. I must have really lost it.. Haah .. Come on athy what if he is really a bad boy...? Oh my God.!! am I a masochist..!!? Or I must be some kind of creep..

Why do  I feel like I have another version inside of me which I don't know myself..?! No.. No.. no.. I must be just crazy.. I just can't forget his face and that damn kiss and he helped me so I think I got a good impression on him that's why I can't forget it.. Yeah that's it..

"of course I am OK... I am a bit tired.." I said smiling and she nodded a yes.

" what's the commotion outside.?" I asked as I heard noises..

"may be your fan boys fighting for your attention again..." jenny said in a teasing tone and I rolled my eyes annoyed.

Yeah it's annoying.. Just like in my high school days.. Boys are swarming around me wherever I go... Helly used the same technique saying I already have a boyfriend but there are so many crazy guys here who come and beg me to break up with my imaginary boyfriend and date them ..

" hey guys... Did you see him..?" helly stormed inside in a hyper mood.

"who are you talking about.?". We asked in unison.

" there is a guy standing outside our class who come later because he had a national level taekwondo competition.. and guess what.. He is insanely handsome...!! Kyaa..!! All the girls are going crazy.. He look so dreamy..like A lonely and mysterious character .. Waah.. Totally my type...!!"

Haah.. There she goes again.. Helly like handsome guys..whenever she saw one.. She won't shut up and go on and on until she become tired.

" hey.. No matter how handsome he is.. He won't stand a chance with my Kiel... By the way where is he..? "jenny looked around searching for him.

To jennete, Kiel is the most handsome guy on earth..i sometimes feel sorry for her... She have a long standing crush on him and that idiot have zero clue. How can a guy be that clueless.? but I.. Sometimes feel like he is purposely acting ignorant.. If he is, he is a real jerk .. My poor jenny..

" hey guys let's go to cafeteria.. It's too noisy here.." I said as I stood up..

"hey hey.. Look he is coming.."

helly nudged me as we walked outside the classroom and I can't see him... That Mr. Latecomer celebrity guy was swarmed around by girls on his first day and he is tall.. Huh he have black hair..? Stop... Stop right there...you idiotic mind... Stop running back in time.. Stop thinking about him...

"Athanasia.."

While I was in daze fighting with myself I heard someone calling my name and turned and there is sudden silence, I realised everyone's eyes were on me and that crowd suddenly splitted like paving way revealing the person who called me.. My heart literally stopped for a second.. It's him.. That same red eyes...

What the hell is wrong with my fate.? Why am I getting involved with him again..? And how did this jerk know my name..? Don't tell me.. did he stalked me..?!! While tons of thoughts swirling inside my head he caught me off guard as he was standing so close to me.. When did he walked this close to me.?

" long time no see.." he said with a smug face.. I was about to talk no curse at him but he interrupted me as he leaned closer giving me a mini heart attack..

"relax..i won't do anything.. But If you don't come with me now.. I may really kiss you again.."

he whispered in my ear and I immediately shot a glare at him and this guy have the most irritating smug face I have ever seen.. smug face suit him so much ... This jerk..

" you guys go first I will join you later.. "I said to Jennete and helena who are staring at us with a surprised face.. What the hell I could say when they ask me to explain..? But before that...

" let's go.. "

I said as I grabbed his hand and dragged him along with me... It got noisier again but I don't have time to care about that.. This jerk...we walked to the place where no one can see us and and I let his hand down and turned to see him staring at me nonchalantly.. I can't explain in words how badly I want to punch that annoyingly handsome face..

"what the hell are you doing...?" i asked pissed and he smirked.. Stop smirking or else I would seriously break your teeth

Lucas. P. O. V.

I was so pissed cause as soon as I entered the uni everyone is being extremely annoying.. Cabel that bastard.. He bunked classes exactly the day I am coming back .. Haah... When I am at the verge of losing my cool.. I spot a long blonde hair tied in high ponytail in distance, dangling beautifully as that girl walked .. That platinum blonde long hair...just the same as that girl...whenever I saw someone with blonde girl.. I got reminded of her..

When I first saw her in that alley.. I know right away she came there by mistake.. She had such an innocent face and beautiful eyes which were like jewels..but our first meet wasn't pleasant..

I was beating up a scumbag and she accidentally witnessed it.. I tried to explain it to her but the police arrived at the right time.. I kissed her so that I can make up a story and escape while blocking her from babbling anything to them about me beating up a guy.. But.. I never thought I would like that kiss.. At first I just wanted to pretend but she was too attractive to just pretend and I ended up kissing her for real.. Thankfully she didn't said anything and I managed to escape.. She then ran away from me... I could have run behind her and explain everything but she looked so pale and extremely confused so I let her go..

After that I sometimes got reminded of her .. Like when I see the sky, I got reminded of that beautiful jewel eyes which glinted the light and glittered ...how her hair shined like golden threads under the streetlight.. She was the first girl I ever thought as beautiful.. And when I took a good look at her.. It's really her..

Athanasia.. I still remember her name that I saw in her uniform nametag.. Such a unique name.. As soon as I saw her.. I thought of using her as an excuse to escape this crowd but it's amusing to myself how I am letting her drag me around.? I really let my guard down around her.. Both Last time and now ..

Look at her.. Interrogating me pouting.. Is this how she look when she is mad..? I don't feel afraid even a bit.. Pfft.. I am trying hard to control my laughter.. I just teased her a bit and she is so angry but why she look so cute.? Isn't a person supposed to look scary while being mad.. She looks like a squirrel pouting..

" I was just so pissed because of them swarming around me.. So I used you to escape.." I shrugged and she sighed in frustration.

" alright.. But don't you dare act like this Again.. Seriously... You are so annoying aargh.... "

She shouted pissed and was about to walk away .. I won't even bother to talk to any other girls.. But it's so fun teasing her.

"oii.. Stop" I said and she turned back glaring at me...seriously.. You are not at all scary you are just cute...

"what..?"

" just let it be.. Like you did before..." I said and she stared at me confused.

"wh.. What did I let go ..? " she asked

" just like that time.. When You ran away without even asking me anything.. Like that, don't mind me"

I said and she sighed

"even when you are acting like this...? " she asked folding her hands.

" do you have a boyfriend..?" I asked and she was caught off guard as she stared at me confused.

" why do you ask that out of the blue..?" she asked

"so you don't..."i said and she stared at me like I am a freak..

" what are you.? Pervert.? Stalker..? " she asked hugging herself

" hey.. I am offended by that " I said and she scoffed.

" then what do you call a freak who go around kissing girls..? "

Athy's P. O. V.

Oh shit...he really look offended.. May be what I said was too much..?! Well.. Who cares it's true though..

He sighed as he take a step forward and I took a step backward like it's a given... He have a blank expression on face and still looks damn handsome, he suddenly pulled me towards him by my waist and I was surprised as I stared at him wide eyed confused. ..

He was so close... So.. Close.. He look even more handsome than before.. It's only been few months but how did he get even more handsome...? Is it because he isn't in uniform.? No stop this athy...

" see.. Back then and even now... You didn't pushed me away.. Did you forget that you also kissed me back.. So I think I am not the only pervert here.. And.. I won't go around kissing girls.. You are the first and only one till now .." he whispered in my ear as he leaned closer..

He let go of his hold on my waist and stood straight staring at me with a smirk may be I am blushing like a stupid from our proximity.. Haah..

" th..that..."

God..!! what he said was right.. I did tried to push him but he didn't give me a chance to do that and then I went crazy and kissed him back cause that kiss felt godamn good to resist..

" then how do you know my name.? " I asked... Yeah good question athy..

" I saw that in your name tag dummy... You still don't know my name right...?.. I am Lucas.. Happy to meet you again..."he said smirking..

'yeah.. The name tag... I didn't thought about it.. And he still remember my name..? ' Haah..i was an idiot.. I walked no I flewed away to cafeteria.. When I entered I realised everyone was staring at me and then gossiping.. Some girls are glaring daggers while others are whispering to each other.. May be because of that jerk...

I spotted helly and jenny who are trying so hard to rest their asses on their seats.. They looked so ready to attack me anytime.. I sighed as I walked towards them..

"athy.. Explain right now..." jenny said as I sit beside her

"you.. How could you betray us like this... I feel so angry..that adonis is your boyfriend..? " helly said pouting..

"what the !!? wait.. Let me explain.." I said but helly showed me a picture and I gasped as I snatched her mobile..

"what the fuck.? Who posted it...?"

I asked staring at it irritated.. It's taken a few minutes ago when lucas was teasing me... But it look like he was hugging me by my waist and we look like flirting.. We.. Look like a couple...!! Shit.. I am Doomed...!! This jerk.. He spoiled everything.. How can I explain this to them.?

"guys... This... This photo.." I asked and jenny nodded a yes.

"it was posted by a guy who saw you two flirting and he posted it on our university group so Everyone knows now.. Can't you see the caption..."

I looked at it and it's so cringey..

'new love birds in the campus.. #stunningcouple #hotpair.. And etc etc that I don't want to read further ..

"These guys are so interested in other people business "

I mumbled and helly snatched her phone back..

" now tell us how long this have been going on.? How can you hide something like this from us..? We are really so mad at you athy" helly said she really sounded hurt..

"I am sorry guys.. So sorry... I met him during our last days at high school.. Then we become...

Enemies..? No he is a complete stranger I don't even know his name back then .. He helped me escape that place and I kept his secret but I can't tell them that .

" we become friends ". I said and helly sighed in frustration

" you having a male friend is rare enough and you talk to your guy friend like this.?"

She asked again showing the photo.. Please take that away I am getting headache just by looking at it..

" he was just teasing me... I told him about our lie.. about my fake boyfriend and he was just teasing me pretending to be one.. "

I said and they both stared at me silently for a while then smiled.. I sighed in relief thank goodness they bought it.. I really made up a good lie I think

"I see.. I was angry that you hide the fact you have a boyfriend..". Jenny said smiling bright..

"but why he is pretending to be your boyfriend..?" helly asked..

"hmm.. Because I have the same problem..?"

I flinched hearing his voice and turned to see him standing behind me. When did he come here...?! Wait ,did he hear my story..? Shitt..! I looked around and jenny and helly was staring at him surprised.

"hii..Sit down" jennete said smiling and he Sat beside me. Helena was still in daze..

" nice to meet you.. We are athy's friends.. I am jennete and she is helena" she said

"hii.. Nice to meet you too I am lucas" he said in a nonchalant tone..

"helly..?" she called her and she finally came out of her daze..

"Huh... Yeah nice to meet you too". She said and smiled. He just nodded his head..

" same problem as her you say ..?" helly asked tilting her head.

He gestured her to look around and three of us did.. Yeah.. He really is attracting everyone's attention like a magnet

"I see.. Being too stunning is you guy's problem huh..? so.. What major you are..?" helly asked.

"I am in the same class as you guys"
