For Life - EXO x YOU

XXIII - Burnt Love

Ysa x Luhan

It was a gloomy day with the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds. A boy sleeping lazily in a king size bed and the alarm beside the bed ringing to its fullest informing its 6 Am time to get ready for school. Luhan 16 years old, only son of a rich businessman and the next heir of their company.

Looking at the watch he sprang up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom thinking, like other days even today he will be late to school. He was speeding up so that he din't miss the school bus. But unfortunately the bus had already arrived and started honking. He somehow gulped down the milk and rushed to the bus stop racing against the breezy wind.

"Sorry, err I got late in the bathroom ", said Luhan panting hard.

"Oh yeah, that's a daily routine as your stool always has the school time for creating trouble to come out", said the bus conductor with a smirk in his face.

Feeling ashamed he ignored the bus conductor and got up on the bus us pacing here and there finding a vacant seat in the front row for him but there was none so he moved back and found one at the end. He found out a girl sitting by the windows so he was making himself comfortable to the seat next to her but due to a sudden break he almost fell on her making themselves uncomfortable. Meanwhile it had started raining heavily and the drops of water were trickling down through the window pane making them wet. He closed down the window and said, "it's so beautiful outside isn't it ?"

"Yeah, it is but it also shows the harsh reality of some people who doesn't have a home for shelter in this rain", said the girl softly without looking at him.

Luhan who was a self-centered boy for whom life was to party with friends, at once was amazed by her words.

"Are you new to school ? Haven't seen you earlier ", Luhan said.

"Yeah, but I have seen you earlier. You never saw me because you never came at the back and I sit here regularly", said the girl.

Soon they reached school and were walking through the school gate and the girl suddenly disappeared from Luhan's vision. He was searching here and there when his best friend Kris called him from back "Hey bro was up ? Looking lost, what's the matter ?" Luhan did not reply and moved to his class leaving a stunned Kris behind him.

After the school got over Luhan without wasting a second rushed back to the school bus to occupy the last seat but it was already occupied by a girl, so he moved to the front with a heavy heart. He got down at his stoppage looking back once. The whole day he sat gloomily looking outside and thinking about her words. In the evening Kris came and found Luhan playing with the strings of his guitar. Luhan was a good singer & composer. He has a band named "The Boys" where Kris was drummer, Lay was in the keyboards and Tao in the guitar. They were like a family to him.

Kris came near him and placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "what's bothering you buddy ? Today in school you were looking lost and din't speak to us even." Luhan couldn't control himself and broke down in front of Kris narrating the morning incident . Seeing Luhan like this he became impatient and tried to console him and said everything will be fine.

The next day Luhan was early to the bus stop waiting for the bus. The bus came and he got up and without searching for the seat simply went to the last seat making himself comfortable to the girl whom he was falling for.

"Hi, I am Luhan.. Umm people call me Han", he introduced himself to her.

"Ysa", she replied with a stern voice.

"Can we be friends if you want ?", said Luhan.

"Why do u want to be my friend ? I am unlucky for all , so stay away from me and let me be the way I am in my lonely world", she said.
