My Humble Stranger

Chapter Three

Like I said before this is a whole new world. College is so different from highschool. At least back at home I had my mom with me and aunt when she comes to visit. I did an online tour of the school when I was home. I made it to my room and there were two girls on a bed, one of three beds in the room. One was lying and busy with her phone, she has black and purple hair, purple on the down. The other one seated was gisting the one on the phone who looks less interested. She has red curly hair. The red head looked at me and squealed she bounce on her feet and welcomed me, she started rambling.

"I...uh... "

"Oh, you need help." She cut me off and collected one of my bags and started rambling on how she love Indians, that I love like an half Indian, how Indian guys are dreamy and the girls are goddesses but I look exceptional.

"Hey, welcome." The other girl cut in.

I find out they're freshman like me but came earlier from the red head of course.

"Izzy let her be. You're making her uncomfortable." The other girl said.

"Not now Paige." The red head I learn to be Izzy complained. She ask for my name which I told her.

She helped me arrange. My mind drifted to him. The flashback of the cliff.

"Are you crying?" Izzy asked worriedly and surprised me with a hug. "Tears don't fit pretty ladies. Besides I know you're more of an introvert. " She let go of me. "I liked you immediately I saw you."

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"Paige. At least you should have helped."

"No." Paige said not glancing at us.

Izzy rolled her eyes and looked at me smiling warmly. "Ignore her. She's a butthead at times."

"Geez... Thanks. I like the compliment." Paige said sarcastically and both Izzy and I giggled.

Izzy took some selfies with me. I couldn't stop her her puppy dog eyes won't let me. She started talking of putting my hair down and my mind drifted to him again.

"Bloom." She called shaking me. "Why the tears again? You know what, forget what I said. You are beautiful either way. "

I nodded and got seated on my bed. I try to let go of you but something keep pushing me back to think of you.

I've been to my first and second class for today and as usual I was a lot uncomfortable. I'm not comfortable around people. I do envy people in groups as friends, people that do things for one another. Everything was different with him.

"Bloom." Izzy called and jocked to my side. "It's almost impossible to find you. Did you get to know people? Any guy I should I know of?" She winked.

I rolled my eyes. I'm just glad she's talking to me.

"So, where are you heading to?"

"The li..." I froze. I could not move. I could not blink. My books dropped. My mouth was left opened. My heart was beating so fast. I bet you could hear it beating. Am I seeing things? Is this real?

There he stand in all his glory looking at me. His beautiful golden brown eyes. His...is...is something wrong with my vision? Tears clouded my sight. Could it really be MY HUMBLE STRANGER?
