Nidori and I made way towards our first class. I think she is a shy person. We both have three classes together, two in morning and one in afternoon.
"So, where are you from?" Nidori asked me.
"Australia."
"Reason for moving here?"
"My dad is opening a company branch here so here I am."
We made it to the class and occupied window seats. Nidori sat next to me. I thought I will be late but I think people in Hanford doesn't follow the rules, even the lecturer is late. I saw the same blonde hair girl walking into the class and sat at the back. I guess I was observing her too much, Nidori saw it.
"Anything wrong, Em?" Nidori asked with a suspicious look.
"Nothing. That girl was little rude when I was in the reception." I replied.
"Why? What happened?" She became curious.
"She broke the line and didn't even ask sorry or excused herself."
"Hmm.. I know, she has always been like that."
"Wait, do you know her?" I was surprised.
"Most of the students here, including me are from Hanford High school. Her name is Scarlet. She has never been good to anyone, she is a total b***h. I recommend you to stay away from her, she's dangerous." Nidori explained. And I nodded.
Soon the lecturer entered and the class went silent. He introduced himself as 'Nicolas Bright' and set few rules and regulations.
He himself came late and setting rules and regulations, how ironic.
The lecturer was quite funny, so it was not as boring as I thought it would be. Nidori and I was walking to our next class, I bumped into some wall, well not wall it was someone.
"I'm sorry." I said while rubbing my forehead.
"Are you hurt?" The guy asked me and I shook my head.
"Are you new here?" He asked again and I nodded.
"Hey, Dustin." Nidori waved at the guy. He gave her a smile.
"Hi, Nid." They both started talking about something and I feel so much out of place. If I go it will be rude, and I can't stand here I feel like an intruder. So I took two steps back and waited for them to finish. Dustin saw my act.
"We are sorry. We forgot you were here." He spoke apologetically.
"It's okay. Hmm... Nidori, I will wait for you in the class." I said to end this awkward moment.
"Hey, no need to. I like to make new friends. I'm Dustin." He extended his hand with a very bright smile.
"I'm Emma." I shook his hand.
"You know you're beautiful, right?" He asked with a grin.
"Can you come up with a better pick up line." I told more like a statement. He laughed, he was good looking and has a wonderful smile.
"It had always worked on others. But sure I will work on it." He said.
"Okay. I think we should go." I said.
"Okay bye." He said and went.
We both sat in class.
"You said most of them here are from Hanford High school, then don't you have any best friends here, I mean I saw you were alone this morning." I asked Nidori.
"Well, I do have best friends but they went to other universities. But I meet them everyday. And I also have friends here, it's my first day here so I was little nervous." She answered. Lucky she, she gets to meet her friends everyday even though they don't go to same college.
This class is nearly full. Just like previous lecturer, this one is also late I mean seriously this college doesn't know punctuality. Nidori was texting someone and I have no one to talk so I plugged in my ear plugs and played Shawn mendes song 'There's nothing hold me back'. I have never listened to music in the classroom, cause I had never felt lonely. Ben, Nat and I used to talk so much and had so much fun. I think I'm never going to have that kind of life again.
I miss him so much, I hope he was next to me to cheer me up and tell everything will be alright.
The class got over quickly and now I'm sitting in my 3rd class. Nidori has other subject so now I'm all alone. I thought of sitting in front but I sat in the back to avoid others attention on me. I saw guy approaching me through my peripheral vision but acted like I didn't see him coming. He had brown hair, tall and had built his body like a hunk.
"Hey. Did it hurt?" He said.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow.
"When you fell from heaven, did it hurt?" He said that old cheesy pick up line with a cheeky grin. I rolled my eyes.
"Nope. Because I got up from hell." I answered
"Ooh. You're feisty I like it."
"I'm Carob. You must be new here if you need any help, do ask me. I will help with anything. I mean if you get bored alone and want to have some fun you can come to me." He winked at me with a smirk.
I was about to punch his face but the lecturer came in and everyone started to take their seat murmuring and Carob took his seat next to me winking at me. I wanted to throw my shoe at him but I controlled myself.
The whole class went quite when someone entered the room, he was ten minutes late. He was very tall, with blue eyes and midnight black hair, he's super handsome. I have to admit I have never seen someone so handsome. Some kind of power radiating from him, that no one ever dares to challenge him. I felt something weird seeing him, but I sided that feeling and got back to taking notes.
"Mr Silverstone, you're late." Lecturer spoke turning around.
"I'm sorry. I had other works." He replied casually but I think he sounded angry.
I noticed all heads were down like bowing as if respecting someone.
"Get in." Lecturer said and he entered.
He walked straight to my desk eyes fixed on me. When he was at my desk, I felt so small against him. He was hovering on me and I slightly moved back.
"Mine." He said. I was confused at what he said.
