WHEN IT STARTED

CHAPTER THREE

LUCAS CASSANO POV
I dropped Veronica off and was about to go to my art gallery when Camilla called me.
"Hey babe-"
I said and she didn't even let me finish and started shouting.
"DO YOU KNOW FOR HOW LONG I AM WAITING FOR YOU? CAN YOU BE A LITTLE FAST? LITERALLY YOU ALWAYS EMBARRASS ME INFRONT OF MY FRIENDS."
"But you never asked me to go anywhere"
I said as she got annoyed and said
"I'm telling you now come in 2 minutes"
She said as she cutted the call and send me a location. I sighed and drove to her.
It took me 10 minutes to reach there.
"Look he is here after a long journey"
Camilla said and rolled her eyes.
Her friends faked a laugh as they made a sorry face towards me and I grinned.
"I'm sorry Babe but I came from Vero's school which is a little far from here"
I know she would freak out now.
"Veronica?"
She giggled in disbelief.
"Why do you have to drop her? Your not her maid. Stop embarrassing me"
She added and crossed her arms.
I sat beside her and put my arm around her shoulder gently.
"Hey it's not like that. You know she is my responsibility when uncle is not around"
I said as she looked at me angrily.
"Your just a toy to her. Stop doing her favours I don't like it."
She said as I controlled myself from shouting at her. I know she is angry and she hates her but she have to understand that Veronica is also my cousin so she shouldn't talk like that about her infront of me.
"Okay fine. I won't do her favours now happy?"
I said and smiled. She looked at me and smiled.
It was actually boring with her friends. I was just sitting there and they were chatting. As time passed I got a call from my assistant saying my gallery have reached the second place. I couldn't be happier about it so I went to my office after waving them goodbye and dropped Camilla to her home.

VERONICA CASSANO POV
Everything was great I passed my test I don't how. I hanged out with Arashi we had alot of fun. And the students in the class are so freaking friendly that make me wanna die out of shame cause I'm so unsocial.
Well right now I'm heading home because Lucas got some works and won't be able to pick me up.
I thought of calling a cab since it's already 8pm. But me being me, I wanted to walk instead. In 2 months I got to know my area pretty well so it won't be a problem.
I was just 10 minutes away from my home when I felt like someone is following me. Without looking back and without asking is anyone there like the girls in horror movie or thriller movie do, I just continued walking faster. Cause I don't have the heart to see a masked guy in black outfit with knife or anything dude. As I was walking suddenly someone patted on my shoulder. And I could feel he had a knife which he placed behind my back.But before I could face him a guy appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh hey babe! Where were you? I was waiting outside of your house for like 30 minutes" A guy at least 6'3 said. But I couldn't see his face because of the darkness.
"O-oh-oh I'm sorry to keep you waiting" I replied a little hesitantly.
"That's fine." He said and came closer before pulling me away from that person who was definitely following me.
I still didn't see his face but the smell is familiar. I'm not a dog to know peoples by their smells. But this smell was unforgettable. After we got away from that strange person my saviour guy said.
"You owe me for 3 things"
I looked up at him and immediately recognised. Wasn't my life miserable enough, god? Why the hell is he my saviour?  If I knew it was this guy I would've given myself to that strange person. I sighed helplessly. I do owe him.
"You vomited on me and then kicked me to a drunk person-" he said but I interrupted.
"I know I know. I'm sorry about that but I'm not guilty. I stole two of my photos. I could've reported you to the police, theif. But I forgive you since you saved me tonight." I stated confidently. Well Obviously I noticed he stole one of my baby pic with my so called mom and a recent pic.
"You forgive me? It's 3 and 1 I did only one mistake but you did two and also I saved you which cleared my mistakes. Now you need to pay for your 2 sins." He said proudly. Like what's there to be proud you eiffel tower.
I rolled my eyes on him and at my messed up life.
"Fine . What do you want?" I asked
"Ummm I don't know. Well I'll tell you tomorrow after figuring out what I want." He messed my hair and vanished. WHY THE HELL DID HE MESSED MY HAIR? WASNT MESSING MY LIFE ENOUGH? God.
I went home being tired AF. That guy surely is a trouble maker. I throw myself on bed and was staring at the ceiling when suddenly Lucas came in all excited.
"VEROOOOOO." He said pulling me up from bed and spinning me like a ball.
"WHAT THE HELL DUDE MY HEAD IS SPINNING STOP" I said almost loosing my balance. Well nowadays I'm falling alot. He stopped and apologised.
"I'm sorry. You know what happened?" He said.
"Why the are you excited- CAMILLA HAD AN ACCIDENT??" I asked excitedly.
He hitted me on the forehead.
"No idiot. MY GALLERY REACHED THE SECOND PLACE AS THE BEST ART GALLERY IN THE COUNTRY." He said giving the priceless smile.
"REALLY?? CONGRATULATIONS." I said jumping all around the room. That's a really great news.
"I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOUUU~.. Now break up with Camilla." I added immediately. There was a minute of silence when he looked at me with "seriously?" Look.
"Vero I love you so much but can you not bring her up? Or I'll make a cheese ball out of your tongue and gift it to Alex." He said now giving the most sarcastic ever smile.
I rolled my eyes and then smile.
"Okay fine I'm sorry." "And where's my treat?" I asked as he smiled brightly.
"Tomorrow. Also call your friends. I'll treat you in your favourite restaurant.
I smiled and he left my room.
At least a reason to be happy but I'm still thinking about that guy. God what will he ask for- wait how the hell will he know where am I? Hahaha he didn't even ask for my number. So calm down Veronica. It's not like he gonna show up in my school. He probably doesn't even know where Is my school. I smiled at myself and went to sleep.
Great thing this have to be a nightmare. It's the next day and Our school ended 1 hour before it was supposed to end. It's 6pm and I went out of the school with Arashi when I noticed every girls around us talking about something. More like fangirling.
"Vero look there. Omg that guy looks like he just walked out of a novel book" Arashi said while pointing at the gate of our school. I looked at the direction and..... YEAH MY THOUGHTS, THEY BECAME TRUE. What the hell is that guy doing in my school.
"Umm Ara lets go to your house haha." I'm not going to that road and area not going infront of him.
"Why-" before Arashi could finish her sentence a voice called my name from behind.
"Veronica." He came closer and stood infront of me. "So your name is Veronica huh?" He asked coldly.
"No my name is none of your business." I said rolling my eyes as Arashi kept on starting at him like she is going to turn into a zombie if she take her gaze away from him.
"How the hell did you know I study here?" I asked suspiciously.
"Well I have my ways darling." He said coldly. He sounded colder and drier than an ice and sand. But somehow him calling me darling got me blush.
"Do not call me that" I said and looked away obviously not going to look at his dreamy rare blue eyes which can get anyone to sink and drown and die. Well yeah I listen to taylor swift so.
"Why dont you like it?" He said. Well no reason for me to like it.
"Can we get to the point? What do you want?" I asked
"You." He said coldly.
"WHAT??" I shouted unbelievably a Arashi looked at us shocked and smirked.
