POTION OF LOVE

“And now we ended with 30 clauses. Finally!" I exclaim with a sigh, my shoulders Lumping down due to tiredness. The reason? Because I had to re-edit and add new clauses for that fox

I glance at Stella to see her reaction. She hums in response as we both walk towards the main building of our university. Not for a reason but just to take a look at the preparation for graduation.

"At least you have a secure contract now. Right?" She grins and bumps her shoulder with mine teasingly. I shrug my shoulders nonchalantly and continue to walk, her steps are a bit slow due to her heels so try to match her pace

"Yeah now it's fixed and secure. You know I was thinking to add some fine if any of us breaks a rule" I add, my tone dry and unbothered. Stella looks at me surprised and even a bit impressed "really? Then why didn't you!"

I sigh again "because I don't trust that. What if I accidentally break a rule and he makes me do something bad?" I ask, shoving my hand in the pockets of my jeans

Stella chuckles, a soft hearted one "come on, Lucas isn't that bad" she says with a smile, the sun makes her face glow. I pause for a second thinking about it ", I don't think so, we always bring each other bad luck"

Stella sighs softly, her arm draping around my shoulder lazily. She's a bit taller than me and her heels make it easier for her. "You wouldn't know unless you give him a chance" she suggests, with a hidden excitement.

I scoff and remove her arm from my shoulder " a chance? To bring my own end? Nope, nada, not happening" I say while walking away

"Hey!" Stella calls out and follows me, interlinking our elbows as we walk

Stella might not know, actually no one knows. It's not just about the cake or the pranks.

That guy pretended that I didn't exist, when I needed help.

I wouldn't care, I know we hate each other and I didn't expect him to help me either. Yet, the blank face he had, his eyes cold as ice still flares up the anger and hurt buried inside me

"Jasmine!" Stella suddenly shakes me, making me jerk out of my thoughts. I blink in surprise and look at her "yeah? What?'

Giving me a sigh she releases my arm and crosses her arms over her chest "I asked what are you wearing for your graduation party!' she repeats, raising her voice a bit

Oh

I got zoned out that i didn't listen properly

"Hm I have a fit for graduation, but I don't know about the graduation party. Let's see what I can do" I reply, I have a few Indian fits that my mother sent recently. I can select one from that but I don't know if I could wear an Indian outfit at that party. It will be all lavish and fancy, exclusive only for students

“Let's sit there?” I ask pointing at the bench under the tree, it looks beautiful and cool there. Stella nods in agreement and we make our way towards the bench.
