Her Eternal Love

Him

Saint Charles College

My college is a big one. One of the most renowned in my town. It has been here since 1870. So it's actually very very old. And antique.

I stepped in through the gate only to see a few of my classmates and completely new people. The first thing I did was cross the corridors, go to the notice office and take my class schedule. There I meet,

Charlie. My best friend. My best buddy. A complete Eboy, the leader of the dance club of the college. He rushed to me and high fived me.

Charlie:I cannot. Fucking believe my own eyes. How did this happen?

My dad.

Charlie: no wonder, how have you BEEN? It's been a year Ava.

Meh, I have been.. okay I guess. He would understand.

Charlie: huh. I know it's tough. But I am proud of you to make it to college.

Hell. Not college.

Charlie: oh come on, it's not that bad. Angel's still the cheerleader.

She's still your girlfriend bro?

Charlie: yeah we uh, we fixed things. We back together.

Huh, good for you. I hope she doesn't hurt you again.

Charlie: in Sha Allah. :D

😭😭😭 so, what's your class schedule?

Charlie: physics. Hate it.

Biology. Love it. I will meet you later

Charlie gave me a two finger salute and left, I took deep breathes and entered my class. That's when my eyes fell on.

Him.

See now what I am about to tell you, is why I did not want to come to college but also why I came to college.

The guy that I looked at was, Abrar. Abraham Martinez. Everyone calls him Martinez. I called him Abrar. And he.. he's the love of my life. But he doesn't know it. He knows a fraction of it, and nothing else. Or maybe not even a fraction of it.

But, since the last 3 years all. I have ever wanted. Was to love. Abrar. And I did. But silently, he never knew. And he doesn't know still.

I cleared my throat and took a seat. Five seats beside him. His eyes were focused on the board, like he didn't notice me. He never did.

But I did. I noticed how much he changed, he grew. His haircut was different, very sharply cut. He lost.. a bit of weight. It was visible. Most importantly, he looked like he had been training a lot. Or just exercising? He looked different than last year.

Teacher: miss Ava would you care to explain about the Situation of Massachusetts in 1909?

Uh- shit. I stood up. Everyone in the class looked at me. I smiled awkwardly and said I am sorry ma'am I wasn't paying, attention.

Teacher: ...look, I am sympathetic towards you for what happened. But Ava, you need to be more concerned about your class now.

I nodded and took back my seat. Then..

Abrar: Madam, Massachusetts was under attack my the Germans. They came through ships through the south and killed i villains through tanks. Lastly, the killing had stopped because Hitler commanded them to?

Teacher: Correct Mr.Martinez. I suppose you studied in fear of failing this class?

Abrar: *he gave a very shy smile* no madam I just have interest in war and war stories.

War.. and war stories. True. He was always interested In them, infact he knew so much about them that it baffled me. His voice changed too, but he still has that smile. The smile worth to melt for.

And then bell rang.
