A Concealed Passion

Miss Exquisite.

Ryan's pov.

That was the first time I saw Scarlette Cameron.

It was barely three days since freshermen's first day. I was three days late because I had to come from Philedelphia. That's my granny's. That's my favourite place, yes more than San Francisco. I always find excuses to stay there.

And within three days she had a gang following her behind. Firstly I thought she was from the senior year. But I was enlightened by the very Declan Harrison, the second person I met for the day.

As I was busy staring at Scarlette, I heard this very familiar yet strange voice whispering that she was Scarlette from the junior year. I turned to look at the non familiar face. He stretched his hand and introduced himself. And asked me to call him as Dec. We shook hands as I introduced myself and hugged which came out of nowhere. It felt like a muscle memory.

I was really glad that I made friends with someone really fast. That isn't my thing always. That was a major drawback in school. People tend to bond with each other with such ease. To be honest, I was even jealous when I was a kid on peers who have a lot of friends. And blend so easily. I always wanted to be like them. But within couple of years it was evident that I'm incapable of such things.

But this felt strange. Actually it felt good to have bonding instantly. He introduced me to his other friends. They were behaving as men too unlike toddlers who bully newbies just to seek attention. And also they seemed fun in a good way. It feels really good to meet people who we match vibes with. Gawd, I miss Al. He would have liked them too.

And the very mandatory part of bro bonding, stalking and discussing girls.
That's when Dec & Co told me about Scarlette. They said that she was  engrossing around and a bad bitch. But hell, she was bewitching.

And we did discuss about other girls too. We did literally chortle for the whole day. I gladly felt like home with them. In case ya'll are intrigued about classes, yes it did take place. Just that there's nothing I could remember or talk about.

First day was all about making friends. I didn't know I was capable of making friends immediately or it's just I vibed out and they vibed out too. It was a overwhelming day, in quotes "A day to remember". I was absolutely ready for the college days ahead of me at that moment.

I refreshed and grabbed some Pringles to get comfy in my room. As I opened my Facebook with a bite of potato chips with delicious flavours. These people who invented these flavours should be worshipped as God's, I thought. And I saw a new message notification pop up. It was like the person was waiting for the online gen to go green.

I was surprised, or mostly intrigued to see her message. They said she was a bad bitch, so why would she message a boy who just today shows up in institute. Aren't the bad bitches arrogant, rude or something? I thought.

Scarlette Cameron - Hey.

Ryan Kingston - Hey.

Scarlette Cameron - Aren't you from    the university?

Ryan Kingston - Yes, I am.

Scarlette Cameron - Hello I'm  Scarlette. Call me Carl.

Ryan Kingston - Nice to meet you, I'm Ryan.

Scarlette Cameron - Yep. The boy with those emerald eyes. You're quite famous among the girls.

Ryan Kingston - That's wierd. You're the first girl I'm talking to.

Scarlette Cameron - Haha, boys aren't the only ones given the gift of stalking.

Ryan Kingston - Haha. Obviously. You are more than quite famous among the guys, in a good way.

Scarlette Cameron - Atleast this isn't wierd atall. I myself have heard them passing comments or slut shaming me.

Ryan Kingston - Um.. How am I supposed to react to that?

Scarlette Cameron - I'm sorry, I got all emo suddenly. Chills.

Ryan Kingston - Just to let you know, I didn't do that. Actually I won't, like ever.

Scarlette Cameron - If you said that just to make me feel better, it worked.

Ryan Kingston - :)

Ryan Kingston - Text you later.

Scarlette Cameron - Yeah, Sure.

Ryan Kingston - Btw, I was honest.

Scarlette Cameron - ...

I did have mixed feelings about her worrying. I felt sad, at the same time I thought she did this to herself in the first place. Maybe she isn't the girl she looks like in third person pov. Or, maybe she isn't the girl she look like in texts. Whatever, but why is evil always adorable.

The next day when I met her at the institute, she was the first person to talk to. She didn't look like the egoistic maniac as me. I wouldn't have done that by no means. She's better than me damn well. We had a good conversation all day. Looked like we were good in each others company.

Dudes didn't tease or warn me about her for the day. I told ya'll they were optimistic. They filled me with the information they knew later. But that day things might have changed their mind.
