Ruth River Silverstone is a girl who tries changing everything so that she can forget her past and live a better life. On the road of life, she finds a best friend and meets some people who would change her life.
Her life is hard though, always was...
Gorgeous right? Which do you like? James, or Chaol?
Chaol and Laurent's POV, REMEMBER, CHAOL and LAURENT'S POV. Don't want you guys to get confused. :) _______
Chaol ____________
"See you, bro. I'll be there if you mess up. Message me and I'll be there in a second." James says while giving Chaol a pat on his back, laughing.
"Make sure of that." He can't resist a smile for his best friend.
They part for lunchtime.
They have been best friends from childhood. James is elder, but Chaol has always been the leader. The fact that James is elder just means more good advices and help in studies.
Chaol trusts James in everything he does, and his secrets. Although he could feel that James likes the girl too, he knows that James wouldn't betray him. James likes Kate more anyway.
Brown hair in braids, always in braids, brown eyes, baggy clothes, so normal and boring. Standard bookworm wih not much life. He has no idea how she could've attracted him. But ever since they met at the library, he couldn't completely get her off his mind.
He never told Kate about this, even if he wanted very much to do so, and even if Kate gave him the girl's phone number without him asking. Kate would probably just mess it all up again, like last time. Everything ended up so messy, then. He doesn't want the same thing to happen again.
James told him to make a move. He doesn't like it. Usually it's the girls who came to find him, not the other way around. But then, he didn't like them at all. Except one in particular... He doesn't want to think of her right now.
Chaol gets into the library, going into the right corner, reaching for a chair to settle himself in.
His gaze settles on her, coming in through the door. He smirks. 'Looks like it's working.' He sits there, waiting for her to come to him.
She bumps into someone. And that someone apologises while steadying her. Chaol couldn't see his face. Only the blond hair as Chaol's area of vision is behind him. They started talking.
'This is shit.' How long would he have to wait? He's getting impatient.
'What the hell!' He thought as she blushed.
Both of them walked to a nearby table and sits down.
Chaol sees that it's Laurent as the blond guy turns slightly towards him. He clenches his fists together.
Laurent still has his hands on her. And she doesn't even have any gesture of removing Laurent's hold. They are in a happy conversation.
'Wonderful.' He thought sarcastically. 'So she has a boyfriend. Only three weeks and Laurent already has a claim on her.'
He pities Kate who has a crush on Laurent. Laurent is always the troublemaker.
Chaol has always gotten what he wants, and now, it is not so, for the second time in his life. He tries to keep his features calm as he passes them by and gets out of the library.
Outside the library, he messages James.
CHAOL: Mission failed. Mission aborted. She has a boyfriend.
A minute passes and his phone buzzes.
JAMES: What? Be there in two minutes. Wait for me.
Chaol doesn't want to stay here. He needs to cool down and when he can see them talking inside, it's hell.
He walks to the park. He wants to calm down and he doesn't need James in this one.

Laurent George Lightwood
She turns around, a little startled when Chaol passes them by.
"So, Rue, when did you came here?" Laurent tries to continue the conversation with her.
"Two weeks ago. No, three weeks." She replies as she stares at the right corner of the library, which has only a few persons occupying the place.
"Nice. Do you want us to move there?" Laurent gestures at the right corner of the library.
"Oh, no need." She blushes.
She looks cute when she blushes. He hopes that she doesn't know that he is staring at her.
"Are you expecting someone? If you are-" He is curious.
"Nope." She cuts him off. "It's nice to know you, and to think you have the guts to admit that you're the one who bumped into me without apologizing last week." She changes the topic and smiles. She notices his hand on hers suddenly and takes it off gently.
'Interesting.'
"Well, I'm sorry, and I hope you know how sincere I am. I was really in a hurry." He winks.
"It's okay. You're forgiven." She is still staring at the right corner of the library while twirling her braided hair, and, she doesn't notice the wink.
'Jesus, is she a psycho that sees ghosts or what?' He couldn't help feeling a little irritated.
"Anyway, don't you think that we are destined to meet? With us bumping into each other and all."
That gets her attention.
"Maybe? Maybe not?" She blushes slightly and looks at him.
"You have pretty eyes." He compliments.
"Well nope, I always wanted to have blue eyes like yours." She smiles.
"Nah I want mine to be brown." He says.
She is startled. "Are you serious? Your eyes are bright blue and-"
"Let's exchange eye colours." He cuts her off.
She blushes again. "That's impossible."
"Everything is possible, my dear."
