Unofficially Mine

Chapter 5

October, 4 yrs ago, India

"Ugh, move away from me you fool! I can't breathe!!!", I screamed at Venus, who held me on a death grip with half of her body on me.

And she weighed three times more than me.

"Mm hnfhn...ghh..."

That idiot covered my mouth and I couldn't get a word out. I kicked her shin and she shot up banging her head on the upper bunk.

"Owww!!",

"I told you to wake up earlier." I lay there on the bed, relishing the air flowing around me which I was deprived off thanks to Ve-giant-nus.

"You could've been gentle about it!!"

I snorted, ignoring her and rushing off to the washroom. I would've peed on her if she had held me longer.

I was so excited about going to college. But 2 months into college I was losing sleep and weight, getting panda eyes and a shitload of work.

Have I mentioned how much I loathed work?!

But seeing hot boy Liam everyday made up for this dratted college student life. He was eye candy.

I reached college early today, and decided to head to the library to get some reference books for a seminar I had to conduct the next day.

Finding the book I wanted, I took it from the row of books and immediately through the empty space, I found Liam, leaning against the book wall and reading some book like he was reading the Gospel. So cute.

"Hey!",

He looked up, startled and smiled as he spotted me

"Alisha! What's up?"

Liam is a nice guy. He's nice to everyone. But he didn't really say much unless he was very close to you.

"OH nothing...just the usual...slowly killing myself with work."

He laughed and agreed with me.

"Hey, do you want to get smoothies?", he suddenly asked me.

Wait. Liam asked ME?!

Eye candy Liam. Popular boy Liam?!

"M..umm..y-yea no problem"

"Okay let's go, this place is really good. Have you been to JBs?"

"Not yet...so we going there today, yea?

"Yupp".

We fell into a simple conversation. That was the thing with Liam. Everything was too comfortable and simple. Unlike a certain Prince Charming.

"You're very pretty, you know."

"Thanks I know", I said jokingly chuckling along.

"Would you like to go out with me?"

The straw fell from my mouth.

Liam say what now??!

I gaped at the dude and I seemed to have lost my ability to make sound.

"It's alright. Take your time and tell me what you think alright? I want pressure you."

I nodded numbly.

I couldn't find anything else to say for the rest of the morning and once I was done with my drink, I paid my share and rushed out.

I avoided Liam as much as I could. True, the dude looked great and had a nice personality too. But I just couldn't feel that attraction. Well, even if I did, a relationship was out of question.

I always ended up comparing every guy in my life to Axel. It was like I set the bar so high that no guy could ever reach that level.

But I hated him too. Last I heard, he dated Ally and then Suzy. He'd completely gotten over me. How easy.

I couldn't even feel attracted to anyone because of him. That guy stuck on my heart like superglue.

When I reached the hostel after the day's classes, the first thing I did was give Axel a call.

"Axel, hey."

"Ali! What's up bro?"

Who's your BRO you asshole.

I absolutely hate it when he calls me that. I should stop obsessing over this dude who's obsessed with bro zoning me. *sigh*

"It's been so many months 'BRO' ", I don't think he even cared if I called him bro. But then again it's a normal thing.

"I know. Man, it's been so crazy here. I'll tell you something. Just don't tell it to anyone, okay?"

"Who would I even talk about it with?",
It's not like I could talk about Axel in general to anyone. Me even saying his name is like blasphemy. *rolls eye*.

And he proceeded to tell me about things which shouldn't ever see the light of day.
Sometimes I feel like I'm special. What he tells me, can't really be told anyone else. There's also my totally amazing memory which makes it easier for people to tell me anything because I'll never remember it anyway.

Two hours later I'm back to the room.

"That must have been Axel", Beneeta says, making Cassia and Venus to look at me.

"Damn she's blushing. Definitely Axel", Cassia says laughing.

"What were you two talking about? What to name tenth child?", Venus says smirking at me. This girl only thinks about the baby making process 24*7.

"Just leave me alone people", I groan, throwing myself on the mattress...or whatever you can call that crappy piece of sponge.

"Did you tell him about Liam?", Cassia suddenly asks.

"For what joy?", I asked. He couldn't care less about the guys in my life.

"To gauge his reaction??", she continues.

"He'll say something like, 'You should've said yes' ", I said, rolling my eyes.

"I'm sure he still likes you", Beneeta says.

I laughed, "No way. The dudes way too popular. He gets asked out by so many hot girls. His dms are overflowing with hot girls. Plus I look way too tiny compared to him and I'm not even remotely hot. We'll never have a romantic relationship ever again."

"I love your ass girl", Beneeta says, like I haven't already heard her say that millions of times in the past two months. In fact the first thing she said when we all stripped in the room for the first time was 'nice ass'.

"No, I'm not giving you my ass, but you can give me your legs."

And we were busy comparing our ass, boobs and legs, throughout dinner in the mess hall and receiving dirty looks from girls on the surrounding tables.

2 days later I got the courage to go and turn Liam down and I convinced myself that I was doing it because I hate sharing food in relationships and not because my heart belonged to someone else.
