Her First Love

Chapter 1

EMMA POV:

   BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

I think I have heard this sound before but where. Who cares, my bed and I are perfect for each other. But the World is against my sleep as there comes knocking on my door.

Dad enters my room and opens the curtains. I hide my face under the pillow in order to prevent light from disturbing my sweet sleep. Dramatic much, right?

Dad removes the pillow from my face and said 'Get up dear, today is your special day.' I tossed around in my bed. 'You set the alarm last night. Didn't you?' Dad asked.

Now I remember where that ugly sound was coming from a few minutes back.

'Dad let me sleep some more.' I said to him with puppy eyes but who I am kidding because my dad is 'Everything should be done on its time' type of person.

 'No, dear otherwise you will be late on your first-day' dad said to me.

I totally forgot that today is my first day at University. Now how can I sleep when excitement is pumping through my veins. I told my dad that I will be ready in a few minutes and come downstairs.

Seeing me awake, dad leaves the room to carry out his next mission to wake my younger brother Noah. Let me tell you one thing that he literally sleeps like a log. 

Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Emma Blue, the one and only daughter of the Blue family. Age seventeen soon turning eighteen. Having the smallest height 5'3 in the family even my younger brother is taller than me. Sssshhh, I am telling you a secret(*whispers*). I am still a virgin and hope on finding my first love soon. I have kept my virtue till now and dream of losing it to the right person at the right time. Enough of introductions. Let's get back to the scene.

I ran into the bathroom doing morning stuff and taking a shower. I washed and conditioned my hair with my favorite rose-scented shampoo. Then I brushed my teeth.

I wrapped a towel around myself and walk out of the bathroom toward the closet to decide what outfit should I wear today? I chose high waist jeans with a peach-colored crop top. Then I dried and straighten my long hair.

 I like to be natural therefore I put on a light shade of lipstick and mascara that kind of pop out my deep blue eyes. I put on my nude sandals and saw myself in a full-length mirror. Once satisfied with my look, I headed downstairs.

 I went into the kitchen and find my mom making breakfast. My dad was sitting at a dining table sipping his tea while reading the newspaper.

I greeted them morning and sat at the table to do my breakfast. My brothers also joined the table shortly after. We all chatted a bit then I get up to leave for the bus station. 

As I reached the front door, my elder brother Mason called me from behind and put his arm on my shoulders

'hey sis, I can give you a free ride on your first day and this is a limited offer'. 

He is a very caring and supportive brother and my partner in crime since childhood. Not to mention he is also a well-known Attorney in our city.

 'No thanks brother I can go on my own and also your office is in the opposite direction'.

 My brother ruffled my hair and said 'As you wish, sissy'. 

I rumbled 'i***t you ruined my hair'.

 He laughed and we both walked outside. He sat in his car and left for his office. I have taken a few steps until I remember something. 

I turned back toward my front door and found my dad standing there and smiling. He has my backpack in one hand and my phone in the other. I smiled sheepishly and grabbed my stuff and give him a hug.

He wished me luck for my first day. After saying goodbyes, I made my way towards the bus station. The bus station was a few blocks away from my house.

I walked there enjoying the weather because it was very nice today. I looked up to the sky and it was a blue sunny day with random clouds here and there.

At the bus station, there were many types of people including students, office workers and also some aged people. Everyone was engrossed in themselves.

Soon the bus arrived. I paid for the bus and sat in the window seat. There was a middle-aged woman sitting beside me. She asked me about my destination and I told her I have started studying business at university.

'Oh dear, my daughter is also studying in that university but is in a different department. ' the middle-aged woman told me. We talked for a bit. Then her phone rang and she answered it.

I looked out of the window and saw meadows passing by. The scene was beautiful. The bus stopped at a point and the middle-aged woman and some other people got off the bus. The bus started again on its route.

The bus ride from home to university was about 15 minutes. Soon my stop came and I got off the bus. I walked a little and then the glorious building of my next 2-year program came into view.

I entered the gates and was enthralled by the beauty of the building. It was a triple-story building with different blocks. There were also many freshmen like me who were asking for directions. There were also groups of students who were chatting and joking among themselves probably seniors. I passed some folks while entering the building. I stopped a random girl.

'Excuse me, can you please tell me where the office is?'

The brown-haired girl smiled and replied 'It's on the right side across the hallway.'

I thanked her for the help. She asked 'Are you new here?'

'Yes, I have enrolled in the business program' I replied.

' That's great. I am also a senior in that program. By the way, I'm Katherine. You can call me Kat'. She chirped.

I already loved her personality. I smiled and extended my hand ' and my name is Emma. You can call me Em'.

She handshake me, wished me luck for my first day, and walked away.

I walked in the direction that Kat gave me and soon I find the office. I knocked on the door.

' come in' came a gentle voice.

I entered the office and found a woman sitting across the table. Her hair was tied in a sleek bun and was wearing glasses.

' How can I help you?' she asked.

I told her I am here to get the schedule of my program.

She asked for my name and searched for something. After a while, she gave me a schedule and a locker key.

I thanked her and exited the office.

I headed toward the hallway. It was full of life. Everyone was whispering and gossiping with each other. I felt lost in the endless sea of students. I was searching for my locker when suddenly someone bumped into me. Due to impact, my schedule slipped from my hand and dropped on the floor. I stepped backed and looked at the intruder.

He was almost a foot taller than me. His face and head were covered in a hoodie and I just got a glimpse of his eyes which were as black as midnight.

There was something about his eyes that captivates me. I looked mesmerized in his deep black eyes for a few seconds which felt like years. I was immersed in my thoughts when he walked past me in the opposite direction without apologizing or saying anything. I was in shock of the situation of what just happen to me when someone passes me my schedule.

I came out of my thoughts and saw another boy of height almost 5'10. He has blonde hair which was styled perfectly and bright hazel eyes. Also, his face was adorned with a very charming smile.

Not to mention his body which is to die for. You can see the muscles popping out of his shirt confirming that he indeed workout.

I smiled and thanked him for his help and made my way towards my locker. Finally, after a lot of searching, I found my locker and put my stuff in it. I head towards my first class which is on the first floor.

I entered the classroom. Some students were already present in the class. I searched for an empty seat and found some in the second row. I walked there and sat down.

I was arranging my stuff when someone sat beside me. I looked up and found a cute brunette girl with curly hair and a sweet smile. I smiled back at her. There was also a boy standing behind her smiling charmingly.

How everyone in this university has a charming smile. It's out of my mind.

They both sat down next to me.

'Hey, my name is Alyssa' the girl said.

' and I'm Drake' the guy said.

'Hello, I am Emma. Nice to meet you' I replied.

Alyssa smiled and extended her hand. I happily shook. I asked them 'Do you guys know each other? '.

Alyssa's eyes sparkled ' Yes we are childhood buddies'. Alyssa then hit drake on the head who was busy checking other girls.

Alyssa and I instantly bonded like sisters. She was a very sweet and energetic personality.

Drake patted Alyssa on the head and then take out his stuff from his bag.

Alyssa whispered shyly ' I have a crush on him.' I squealed with joy. Everybody turns to look at me. After excusing myself I slowly said to Alyssa ' Have you confessed?'

Alyssa looked down and said ' No, I am afraid to lose my friendship with him if he rejects me.'

I tried to cheer her up 'Everything will be okay. Don't lose hope.' She smiled genuinely and hugged me.

Drake was curious about what we were talking about so privately.

I told him 'Girl's discussion'.

Both Alyssa and I laughed at his confused expression. Soon the teacher came into the room. Everybody greeted her. She was a middle-aged woman but she has kept herself fit.

She started her introduction and later asked every student to introduce themselves. After the introductions, she told us about her course and said if anybody ever faces difficulty in her course, feel free to ask. First-class passes quickly.

We packed our stuff and moved out of the classroom to take the next class.

We three walked into the hallway and checked our schedule. Alyssa and I shared the next class while drake has a different class. As I and Alyssa were passing in the hallway toward our next class, girls began squealing and gossiping suddenly. I didn't understand what all this rush was about.

I looked at Alyssa who looked equally confused. Luckily I spotted Kat in the crowd. I asked Alyssa to accompany me. As I was moving toward her, she also spotted me. She waved her hand.

'Hey again' kat said

'Who is she? ' Alyssa asked confused.

'I met her this morning. She is our senior'. I replied.

Alyssa smiled and introduced herself. 'hey I am Alyssa. Emma's best friend' she winked in my direction.

Katherine also introduced herself. I pointed toward some girls who still had not stopped squealing and asked kat what this fuss is about.

Kathrine laughed and pointed across the hallway. I and Alyssa turned to look in the direction she pointed.
