Falling for a Stranger

"What makes them so interesting is that all three of them don't like associating with guys. Well to be fair I would say two of them. Sophia doesn't really hate guys and Freya is also a bit social. But certainly not Amelia. A better term would be they hate men allegedly. Some people even assume they are gay. I don't know how true that is. You are literally the first guy I have seen Amelia share a smile with." Jeffrey replied.
"What can I say, I am pretty irresistible." Archie boasted.
"You think. She is probably being friendly for the first day." Jeffrey countered.
He was so confident about the Amelia he knew she was probably so happy that morning and maybe forgot herself for a moment.
"I actually am, I have never asked a girl out, they are always drooling over me."
"Not with Amelia." Jeffrey stood his ground. "I bet you a hundred bucks and you only have a week."
"A week." Archie scoffed. "Give me three days."
Jeffrey was marveled at his confidence. But he would probably loose anyways. The Amelia he knew would need years of wooing from any guy.
Him mentioning a week was actually unfair. And now Archie made it even easier for him. What a quick way to make money.
"Deal." Jeffrey replied. If only he knew how hard Amelia was trying to battle with her mind at the moment.
......
It turned out Archie could not change easily after all. Over the next two days he made sure he spent maximum time with Amelia.
Amelia could not just resist him, not when she wanted him close to her so badly. And he was not helping matters he was always hanging around and even sat beside her during class.
This gained the attention of several bitches as Amelia would like to term them.
Archie on the other hand played dirty, he was playing mind games with her, he never told her liked her. He just asked to be her friend, two day ago. And with the excuse of being new here. He was always lingering around her spending maximum time with her. Each time he was around Amelia felt her tummy flutter. And to make matters worse Freya and Sophia were nowhere to be found. Which left her stuck with prince charming
For the past two days she had found it difficult to sleep, eat, even to concentrate in class, without Archie's face popping up in her mind, so she had had come to the conclusion that she probably had fallen in love with him. But who falls in love in the space of two days?
She might look like a fool if she told him, what if he does not want to talk to her anymore because of it, worst of all what would her friends think of her.
She has always been the one scaring boys away from their clique and it seems now in their absence she had completely fallen for one.
Just as she was lost in her world she felt a pair of warm hands on her shoulders.
She looked up and breath a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar face standing in front of her.
"What could you have possibly been thinking about? I bet you did not know when I stepped into the class did you?" Sophia teased.
"Nothing. I was just..." Amelia tried to deny.
"Hey where have you been." Amelia asked diverting Sophia's question her eyes glaring in a playful manner.
"What do you mean, I was at home you know I never resume on the first few days. In fact I came all the way here just for you. Only for me to see you brooding." Sophia pointed out.
"Okay but you could have at least replied my texts." Amelia countered. She really needed someone to talk to over the past few days and she could not contact Freya her grandpa recently died, and that had been the reason for her trip in the first place.
"I knew you would have tried to reach me. But my phone was broken and mum was all like I would have to work on extra jobs to get it repaired so I had been pretty busy over the past few days and I know you would also have been seeing as you did not even show up at my house so I ask again Amelia. What has been eaten you up."
Amelia wanted to deny again, but right now she really needed a sisterly advice, these past two day has not been easy for her. She was beginning to loose her composure anytime she was near him.
"Sophia, I need to tell you something." "Go on." Sophia settled beside her wondering what could have possibly been on the mind of the usually carefree Amelia.
"Okay, but first things first. Please don't judge." Amelia said with pleading eyes.
Sophia blinked, whatever was bothering must be heavy.
"You know I am here for you, my poor Amelia. What would you do without me." Sophia teased again. "Now go on already and quit the suspense."
"I am not sure how it happened." She began rubbing her palms nervously. She was not sure how she was going to put this to her.
Sophia looked at her and gestured with her face, urging her to continue.
"Trust me I have thought this Sophia and I... I think I have fallen in love."
