Norah's P.O.V

"Ian!"

"Hey warrior!"

"Why are you here?"

"Just practising basketball and came to know you are here so..." he smiled slowly.

"And, how is the game going on?"

"Good. And one more thing, our upcoming match is coming and I think you can come to watch" he looked at me hopefully as I remembered Tris looking me to get his toys after beating the crap out of me,

"And I can assure you that there will be no problems like last one. Umm... Tia!"

"Okay" I nodded.

"So, you are not going home or what?" he asked me.

"Yeah... On my way and one naughty player boy stopped to invite me to his basketball match" he laughed. OMG! He has dimples and I'm noticing it now? So poor.

"And the girl is staring at me like she is gonna ask me for a walk to home!" he said with a half smile.

GOSH!

"No, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"You just..."

"I think you are cute" I gave a smile.

"So, can I ask you to walk till we reach your stop?" I raised both my brows, as I didn't expect this and began to walk with a smile.

"I'll take it as a yes." He followed me.

"I heard that the next week is your competition."

"Yes, and Bella told us that we wanna hit the semifinal, so working hard on that."

"Don't worry about that, you know our college has the best team and also Norah I have faith in you."

"Me?"

"Yeah!" He looked at me.

"Okay then, I can't let that fall." We chit-chated until we reached the stop.

"So tomorrow, you have practice or what?" I asked hoping a yes, cause walking with him is not that boring and I loved it.

It's more better than walking alone in this street.

"Actually yes, but I'm going to visit nana tomorrow. So on a leave."

"Okay" I think he noticed me as my face changes

"And you know, you can call ne anytime you need. A friend in need is a friend indeed."

"Okay" I smiled. He gave me his number and when the bus came I waved him and got on it.

I texted Eva that without the help of any El can walk the streets even when it's dark.

And also to Darren about Ian. He is my boyfriend means 'boy as a friend', other than Darren.

Actually Darren cannot be compared to anyone.

***************************

"So...."

"So?"

"Ian and you?"

"What Ian and I? Isla are you a match maker me with Ian and Rowan! WTH?"

"Both are smart and hot, I'm sure you are completely confused to choose, so that I decided to help you to get to your love life! What's the problem?"

"I'm not gonna love anyone!"

"Actually you are. So hard to understand. I'm getting sooper jealous on you. You know I'm wasting my days thinking that any of these guys getting after me and you here completely avoiding those.''

''Hey you both! Are you listening or what!?"

We turned to Linda who is questioning us for disturbing her lecture. We kept silent and she continued her session.

Isla went to fetch our food while we were sitting in the canteen.

"So how do you feel about Ian?" Eva asked me.

"Is this disease spreading out?"

"What disease?"

"Match maker, from Isla to you?"

"I just wanna know that you feel protected around him or what?
You know it's not easy for you to have the company with guys after all last time when Rowan catched your hand it became worse isn't it?" She continued

"But with Ian .....I don't think you are irritated but sort of comfortable! The only one other than Darren!"

Soon Isla came with our food and the calm atmosphere changes to a rush of eating cause we were hungry as hell.

While digging, my mind was stirring what Eva said. After that, we went to our class.

"Okay Eva I'll see you, bye!"

"Are you sure that I don't wanna stay?"

"I hate you because now you are wasting my time asking those silly questions. I'm a grown up girl, okay mama?"

"Yeah fine, I'm leaving! And one more thing, Noel is sending me and ester ticket for 2 days for visiting London."

"Wow, so the day of family reunion comes, huh?"

''Yeah this year I want to buy a gift for him and his girlfriend!"

"No worries... we can go after that"

"Okay then, bye" she waved me and went off.

While I'm on my verge of fouette turns, my leg twisted. It pains a little.

Bella put something on my leg and that felt cool, but still pains. I cannot dance properly so I took a break.

After the practice everyone started leaving. I can walk but with a minor pain. I miss Ian now, walking all alone the street.

Suddenly I felt like someone is behind me and turned to look but found none. Loneliness is playing some game on me.

I don't believe in any conjuring but I think 'valak' is haunting me. I try to move my legs a bit faster but that fells more pain.
At last I can see some people round there.

Anyways there'll be witness when these ghost haunt me. While walking near them a guy came from their boys gang of three,

"Hey baby, alone?"

O God! These witness will hunt me now! I ignored them and continued walking.

"Want a ride?" Another one came.

"Hey don't worry, come on!"

"I'm sorry, just leave!"

I managed to say that and started walking.

"Hey wait!"

One of them hold my hand, abd that feel worst for me. I pushed him and ran.

I thought of calling Ian, I have only him for help. They are chasing me behind.
God! Please God, not again!! I'm begging you! Not again! Save me! They are getting closer.

My leg is paining as hell. Tears started rolling. I feel like I can no longer walk. Shit! I stood there, cannot even a step further I turned back.

Three of them were standing behind me. I am breathing heavily . My life is a disaster. I feel someone joining them.

Another guy apart of the three are coming from far against us. I'm trapped in a big baddy team. I took a step backward slowly facing them. They all are smirking at me.

"Hey baby , why did you make us run? Lets have some fun now!" One of the three said.

As the guy, that I mention was coming from far became close, I feel like I know him.

Wait is it Rowan!?
