Today March 8, we are going to celebrate Women's day. It's solely for girls and all the girls were dressed like a princess.
I have worn a baby blue dress which ended up just below my knees. A thick yet fancy belt was wrapped around my waist adding more beauty to my dress.
The black 3' stiletto has excess the beauty of mine and my dress. Totally I look like an angel. Letting out a sigh of relief, satisfied with my outlook, I grabbed my purse before climbing out of the car.
I started to walk towards the campus, plastering a huge smile on my face. Dylan Bryce, the senior from our college going to propose me.
He said he has planned the biggest surprise for me and I wonder how it could be exciting. I'm so eager to see him.
He's almost 6.5 ' and has a cream-colored skin. I want to lay my head on his broad chest. Oh God! I'm again daydreaming.
He is every girl's dream boy and my ultimate crush from the beginning since when I joined the college here.
He was sometimes hooked with me whenever we get our spare time together instead of hooking with his friends. Girls were so jealous of me but who cares.
"Hey Riya!" my friend Claire approached me and gave me a warm hug. "Girl you look so beautiful, no doubt he will go onto his knees the moment he sets his eyes on you." she teased and I blushed like a tomato.
We both walked together while she changed the topic one by one and I listened to it half hearty until it ended in the previous day encounter with that boy Kayish.
"Not now Claire," I warned when she was about to start the conversation about Kayish and his kiss. Still, she is into that incident, never shut her mouth once and I am tired of zipping her mouth.
"Ok bye, my Romeo has arrived." she waved looking at someone and gave me a quite peck on my cheeks before ran away. I shook my head and started to walk towards the hallway.
When I saw Dylan talking with his friends near the locker, I adjusted my dress and approached them. "Hey, Dylan." I called his name. Immediately, his head turned around to see me and I mesmerized the way he looked like a prince charming.
Once he saw me, he completely froze on his spot. His Green eyes lingering through my body up and down which made my cheeks flush like a tomato in the second time. Oh God! I am blushing again.
"Riya you look amazing. I bet no one is beautiful than you," he exclaimed.
"Shut up Dylan!" I playfully hit his arm. Then he hooked my arm with him and leading me further. "Shall we go?" He asked.
Where? I wanted to ask instead I nodded my head.
I know he has a surprise for me and I don't want to spoil them by asking a stupid question. We both reached the auditorium where the celebration going to conduct and the bunch of students was already gathered.
He then dragged me towards the stage and grabbed the mic from the guy who was singing.
"Hey, guys!" He sought all the student's attention. "I want to tell you something in front of everyone," he said looking at me while I grinned at him. I know what comes to next.
He kneeled in front of me and took my right hand and planted a soft kiss on it. "Will you be the honor of my girlfriend?" He asked in such a romantic way.
Yes! I wanted to scream but a horrible sound interrupted our sweet moment. A video was started to play on the screen and everyone went utter silent.
We heard a loud scream coming from the screen which belongs to the girl. She looked terrible and a boy was standing in front of her holding a belt in his hand whose back was facing us.
He was hitting the girl frequently while the girl was begging for him to stop. Finally, she fell on the floor, unconsciously.
Once he turned around we all let out a loud gasp. I covered my mouth and the thick tears slipped down from my eyes. I can't believe this.
The boy standing in front of her is Dylan. I looked at him with wide eyes while he had given a murderous look at the person who was now on the stage holding a remote on his hand.
I think he played the video.
I looked at the girl clearly and a gasp escaped from my mouth which I covered instantly.
The girl's name is Jasmine Rose who's a first-year student here but transferred to another college a week ago. She was known by her kind heart and innocent.
But all these days this i***t abused her and made her leave the college. The thinking of what he did to her brought a sick to my stomach. I feel sick and wanted to throw up.
Multiples scenarios were started to Play into my mind. How? Why? When? What would happen if the boy didn't reveal the true identity of him? Of course, I will be in the same position as her.
I let out a long sigh and ran towards the boy who saved my life. I hugged him and his hand wrapped around my waist immediately. My heartbeat increased rapidly ready to burst out anytime soon.
Once I looked at his face, my whole body went numb. I turned my heels and ran away unconsciously where my feet were carrying. It is Kayish, the boy who got slapped by me and still trying to get my apology.
It's been one month since the incident has happened and he is trying his best to seek my apology in different ways like writing 'Sorry' on the Wall, giving a greeting card saying sorry inside it, giving me a red roses which were my favorite one.
But all those days I ignored him like he never exists and walked away. I thought it was a drama he was playing around but today he saved my life from that bastard.
I don't know when I reached the ladies' restroom. Once I entered, I let all my pains out. Even though I didn't give him any chance to prove his guiltless, he helped me to come out of danger.
I stayed longer in the restroom and wiped all my tears with my hands and washed my face not bothering it will ruin my make up. It's not worth shed a tear for that bastard.
After all, it's women's day and I need to be strong, that's why we celebrate this day, to remain strong and dependent.
Once I walked out of the restroom, I bumped into someone and about to fall but a hand grabbed my shoulder and steadied myself.
A cold shiver ran through my body when I felt a familiar warmth in it. Of course, it is him.
Once I looked at him I broke into tears and a sob escaped from my mouth. "Shh! It's okay. He is not worth it for." he patted my shoulder in a comforting manner.
"I'm sorry," I whispered while looking at my feet ashamed of looking at his face. He lifted my chin with his hand and made me look at his ocean blue eyes which directly looking into my soul.
"It's not your fault, Riya. You had nothing to do with this. It's not my intention to hurt you. Several times I tried to tell you about him but it's all went vain.
"So I have no option left from playing the video on the stage in front of everyone when he was about to propose you. He doesn't deserve you." he wiped my tears with his thump, somehow I felt comfortable by his touch.
"Thanks, Kayish!" I said with a smile on my face. "So that means we are friends now, right?" He asked a hope in his eyes and I nodded my head.
"Okay let celebrates our friendship then," he said and dragged me out of the college campus.
