Cupid's Arrow

Chapter Two

It was one of those baby-blue skies, not the psychedelic candy-blue nor the washed-out grey so characteristic of wintry mornings. The clouds were as puffs of radiant joy, ready to disperse into the wind, to travel our Earth. I watched them eddy, pure reflected rays dappled and swirling with the sky, until all that remained was that perfect baby-blue, the same hue as before as if inviting those born of the wing to ride warm thermal air heaven-bound.  

 Attending college life for the first time. Many said college life help us to discover ourself as we learn a lot of new things every day compare to high school life. I am having a mixed feeling because I did not know what to expect. I am relief that At least I have my best friend with me, in the same college. We reach there together. 

" buddy we are here! " Siva announced while turning off the car engine. I stepped out of the car.

" OMG," he shouted make me jump off my feet.

" what the:--" I asked passing him a deadly glare.

"buddy hereeeee see goosebumps," he said showing his hairless arms. He is a weirdo. People call him strange and mad. That's kinda true. He does a lot of weird things. He is the craziest person I ever met. But not to deny the fact he is handsome as well. He had tousled dark brown hair. He’s a few inches taller than me. He’s slim but muscular. Most of the girl always drool at him when looking at him. The thing I hate the most is he too react and give responses. He is so good at flirting but still, he doesn't know how to proceed with a girl by himself. 

Once he went for a blind date, with a girl who proposes him after fell in love with him by his look and charm. he took her for sky diving, then he took her for a night stay at the graveyard. the next day the girl was admitted at a hospital in a high fever. he is a complete weirdo.

We went to the spot which immediately grabs our attention. A bench under a tree. The bench was imposing, more of a throne than a casual seat. The high ornate arms rose on each side and the back was tall with carvings. The seat being plenty roomy enough for two. We settle ourself comfortably on the bench.

There was plenty of girls walking past us but not before passing a look at us. Most of the gawking at us. I am not that kind of person who ogling a girl shamelessly. None of them impressed me. I turn my head to my right side to find Calvin ogling almost all the girls walk passed us. God this man. He never failed to embarrassed me most of the time.

" come buddy! Haven't you look at a woman in your life? Why that flirtatious look." I said throwing a disgusting look at him.

" come, on dude! It's not about that! It's doesn't matter how many birds are there! Remember all of them are parrot so why we should miss an opportunity to appreciate their beauty" he said. I told you he is some kind of nut case. all of a sudden he became a poet. 

" Plus I never saw you ever been into some girls! Not even a glance. Tell me buddy are you homosexual? " he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I immediately headlock him and give him a hard smack on his head.

" Okay I am sorry " he surrenders. But he was true. I have never interested in any girl. Even though many come and proposed to me' never once I accept them nor not even take look at them. I don't feel they are my type. My soulmate. Basically I don't understand the love between two strangers. Like love at first side all those shitty kinds of stuff

Sometimes I have an urging feeling of missing. Sudden loneliness. Maybe if I have a mum to take care of me I might ask her what will be love feel like. I never received any women's love. So whenever anyone approaches me I felt it's so artificial, dramatic. Maybe that's why I don't even have a crush on a girl. I will always be a little rude with a girl which I myself don't know the reason.

" holly god she looks damn" I shout almost make me deaf.

" you are saying this to every girl can you sh:-- " my words failed to get a form. I can hear my own heartbeat as my heart pounding fast as hell. What the hell! There's a girl, an angel walk from the entrance. my whole world slowed down, lay eyes on the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Perfect brown hair that rested right above her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes that could swallow galaxies. Her perfect skin that looked so fragile yet so soft and the unerring amount of freckles around her nose. Cheeks the colour of pink roses and eyelashes longer than anyone's I've ever seen. And her out-of-this-world body caught my attention, a small waist hidden under a simple black top, curvy hips that fit so perfectly in her dark washed black jeans. She is kinda tall for girl's height.

she would blink her eyes from time to time, allowing her eyelashes to flutter like the wings of a butterfly. My god, her eyes were simply spellbinding. Her seraph's ears were pierced by golden hoops that were concealed by brown silky waves.

Just then her eyes made contact with mine. s**t s**t s**t! I immediately look away. wait wait! What the hell am I doing!  I just gawk at a girl without any shame just like others. I turn around and sign relief as no one seems to notice me. I immediately change my reaction like I never in my life ogling at her a few moments ago. She looks at me with a glare as I pass her an I don't care look.

" Arun ! have you saw her? " he said pointing his finger towards her direction.

" yeah! So what? " I asked to maintain a stern reaction to make his jaw drop

" dude are you... Are you serious! She looks damn but... You are asking so what? Oh god, kill me. I don't want to live in this world anymore. I can't live with people who don't have beauty sense. Take me with you " he is an actual drama queen. But honestly, She grasps most's attention, felt like she worth it!

" what will be her name? Angel? Where she is from? angel land" he reacts like a teenage girl saw her crush.

" stop being dramatic! If you want to know her name then ask her" I said. Something inside has the urge to know her name too, more about her.

" buddy! You know my problem right! I have starting trouble" he said as nervousness capture him all of sudden.

" You can flirt with a girl so well can't go talk by your self !are you serious," I ask disbelief. Damn this boy

" you don't understand dude! Everyone has their own problem " he said.

" fine you want her name right? Wait " I said. Just then she walks past us.

-------•-•-------

OMG OMG OMG. I can feel my pulse pounding in my temples. The first day, without any familiar faces. I took a deep breath and step into the college campus.

That's an actual weird feeling. Especially when you unintentionally grab people's attention. I keep myself look brave and bold even though I can hear my own heartbeat.

I try to ignore those stares. But like a magnet, a pair of eyes caught with mine. He looks Suprise and immediately turns away then once again he look at me but this time with different expression. 'disgust' seriously? Am I that ugly? God. idiot

But honestly, he looks handsome. His eyes were a mesmerising deep ocean blue, flecks of silvery light performed ballets throughout. He had dark eyebrows,.sharp jaw, chin, and cheekbones, thick, warm dark chocolate curls which look perfect for his face. Wait... I just look at for 4 seconds and I examine him so well. The problem of being a girl.

I walk as faster as I could. My heart almost jumps out of the place when I heard a deep intense voice call me out. Once twice, for a few more times God save me! I will give you 5 candies. Please, please. My steps are faster than before.

" Hey, girl! " he shouts make other's attention fall on us. I stopped took a deep breath. I wait for a few seconds made my mind before the turnaround and walk toward him holding my head high.

" Are you deaf? " he asked. Arrogance. I won't reply to him why should I! Who the hell is he? My jaw clenched as I bite my teeth.

"I am talking to you " he shouts. The attitude I hate THE most. I look straight into his eyes.

" what's your name," he asked. seriously? He is shouting at me, for ask my freaking name. What the hell.

" so you're mute too? I said to speak" he command. What? Okay okay, calm down baby. Darling calm down. Why your face suddenly turns red. Why no! Okay damn s**t I can't. That's it. That's it.

" Why the hell I should tell you my name! It's none of your business " I raise my voice. He looks stunned for a second. The surrounding became silent and everyone's attention turns towards us.

" How dare you raise your voice to me!  " he steps forward and stood very close to me. His fragrance was intoxicating. No way can't get distracted like that.

"Don't show your attitude to me Mr whatever! " I said poking his chest with my index finger.

"That's Your limit!  Mind your word! " he pushed my hand off him in force.

" Same to you Mr!  Don't Show your dominance to me! And one more thing! I am not like other girls Mind it!  " I flicked my hair on his face before she walks out.

--------------------

What the hell! Attitude and arrogance. First time I saw a girl with that qualification in my life. Woah! She touched my ego. Damn...

I turn towards to left side found Siva froze in his spot. Total numb, a stunned expression fixed on his face. No movement, just breathing. Like a breathing statue of liberty itself.

" all because of you! Dumbhead" I said while dragging him along with me. I shouldn't impressed with her look. her character sucks! the t woman to show attitude.
