I'm 20 years old and I've been single for years, it's not like I've never had a boyfriend, I did but it wasn't a good experience, it's been 5 years since I broke up with him, and I'm getting sick of being single, all my friends are dating and I'm the only one who's single.

Well it's my fault, after all, there's nothing wrong with my look I'm so pretty all the boys in my university have a crush on me and the list of the guys who asked to date me is so long but, I didn't like anyone of them because that's not what I want.
I'm looking for the love of my life, I'm looking for my soulmate, I want a permanent relationship I want to be the only one in his life I want that kind of obsession, I want destiny to cross our roads together.
I know it seems to be like a fairytale and that's impossible to happen but, it did.

I'm studying at the University of Arts, I'm the main singer in my music class.

The principal invited me to his office, so I walked to his office and knocked on the door, and he let me in, and there he was standing, a tall guy with dark black hair, he had those Asian eyes, but I couldn't tell whether he's Korean or Japanese, a necklace around his neck, with a guitar at the end of it, and two rings on his left hand, one on his thumb and the other one in his index, he was wearing all in black his t-shirt, trousers, cap, even his mask. His face was half-covered but I could tell that he was handsome and he was obviously my type.

He was putting his headphones on and listening to a song repeatedly, the volume was very loud that I even could hear it too and I could tell that the song wasn't known, I'd never heard that beat and lyrics in my life.

He took off his headphones when the principal said.
"This is Lydia Watson she can help you settle in the university".
The guy just looked at me and nodded then put back his earphones.
His name was Enzo Rider, he came to sign in at our University and I was the one who will help him there.

I was told to show him around, and we walked together in the college, I showed him where the classes were, the dorm and the cafeteria of the campus, I talked the whole time describing what kind of students we have and the rules of our college and a little bit of my experience there, but he wasn't listening to me at all.
"So what's your class?". I say trying to make a conversation, but I got no answer, he wasn't even looking at me so I shook my hand in front of his face trying to catch his attention.
" You weren't listening right?". I asked as he took out his phone from his pocket and stopped the song.

"I just listened to what I needed... all your bullshit was none of my interest". He says taking off his earphones, rolling them and then he put them in his back pocket.

"Rude". I said.

He just rolled his eyes and started walking away without saying anything so I held his arm because I didn't finish what I was going to say. Actually, I had nothing to say I just didn't want him to leave, I wanted to see his face, to get to know him, I want to be a part of his life.

"Where are you going?". I asked
"To my class". He answered making my question seem stupid and he pushed my hand away.
"You could've said, goodbye, or catch you later there's a lot of words you could've said ".
" You were asked to help me, thank you, but there's no need to catch up later".
I just watched him walking away trying to figure out why he'd been rude to me, it was the first time a guy treat me like that, however, that didn't deny that I liked him and I still want to be next to him and know everything about him.

The bell rang to announce the beginning of the lessons so I hurry up to my class, it was the session of Ms Clark and she hates whoever came to her class late whatever the reason.
I reached my class after her which means that I'm done because she will just focus on me the whole lesson.

"Miss Watson being the popular singer of the college doesn't mean that you can come whenever you want."
I apologized to her, trying to explain the reason why I was late even though I knew that it won't be helpful at all.

As I turned my head to go and take my seat I found him sitting in the first line taking off his mask, and I was right he was handsome as hell, he ran his fingers through his hair, and he had that gorgeous wolfcut that fits him so bad.

I just stood there looking at how handsome he was before Ms Clark could cut me off saying.
" Miss Watson would you stay there the whole day?".
I took my seat staring at Enzo and making scenarios in my head about how it would be if he becomes my boyfriend.

I thought about me and Enzo, in my mind, he was the kind of guy who is so mysterious, and arrogant but so sweet and cute around the girl that he loves, he was so good at hiding his feelings, he won't show you that he likes you but in fact, he's crazy in love with you, he was that kind of the overprotective boyfriend, he was that loyal guy that will love his girl his entire life and there will never be anyone after her. The Enzo that I created in my mind was so good and I loved him.

Yes, I want him, I want Enzo to be my boyfriend I want him to fall in love with me.

The lesson was over, I took my stuff and tried to catch up with Enzo but he was already gone.

" And that's what happened".I was telling my best friend Nancy about Enzo when we were sitting in the cafeteria.

Then I ask her to look at him as I see him sitting at the table on our left listening to music again eating peacefully following the beat of the song with the fork but without making any sound.

"Lydia this is your perfect chance to be in a relationship... The guy is hot you have a crush on him and your first meeting was awesome". She says.

"But he didn't even look at me in the eyes".

" You need to collect information about him, boys love it when they have something in common with the girl".

Nancy asks me to leave it to her because she's the one with the experience she calls herself the guide of dating but at the same time, she has a lot of problems with her boyfriend.

We go to our room, I take my laptop and we try to look for Enzo's Instagram account, and we find it, I click on it, we look at the profile picture and it was him kissing a girl on the cheek admiringly and the account was private.
"Oh! And he has a girlfriend". Nancy says and I shut the laptop aggressively.

The Enzo that I created in my mind was real but his heart is connected to another girl, he's been loyal to his girlfriend, and his contempt has cast me deep into the darkness with my false hopes.
My soulmate didn't talk to any girl since he arrived here he didn't try to make friends he just wanted to belong to her, only her.

I thought that I found the love of my life, Enzo was the perfect one for me but, this is love you can't force anyone to have feelings for you.

Unfortunately, Enzo admires his girlfriend, I can tell just from seeing that picture, and the way he was kissing her.

Enzo will never be mine, he won't valorize me, and I'm going to be single my whole life.
