The Boy She Hated

Chapter 1

"I will be fine!" Kiara

"Take care, have a safe flight!
You  know what you are supposed to do!
Do call me if you need anything."

"OK mom."

"I love you, be brave, we will miss you"

I hugged my parents, told them that I loved them.

So going to CANs, New York had always been my dream, it's one of the best collages and now I'm going to pursue my Bachelors in literature there. My heart aced, as I saw my parents wave me good bye, but at the same time I was excited to start this new journey of being independent and finding myself. I'm 20 year old, I have lived with my over protective parents all my life and now I was going to move to a new city all by myself, honestly it's scary and frightening, but at the same time I am beyond excited for CANs.

I arrived at CANs a little jetlag, i walked around our campus which was by far the biggest campus i had seen in my life, after what felt like a mini Trek I arrived at my accomodation,the campus hostel. The senior who looked disinterested briefed me about the various rules of the hostel, the timing of our meals at the mess and so on and so forth.

"Your rooms on the 4th floor and you will be staying at room 16, this will be the "only key" you will be given, if you loose it it's all on you."
"Great! I will Guard this with all I have got"
She rolled her eyes and walked away.

Phew I sighed to myself.

I started walking towards the lift and quickly realised why this campus had a lot of fit looking studies and i slowly
Stared making my way up to my floor climbing the stairs a step at a time with my 2 heavy ass luggage.
The hostel looks better than I expected it to be. I'm a positive person in general but I had prepared myself for the worst, listed a bunch of things that could go wrong, maybe my room would be small, my roommate would be a pain in the ass, etc. But I was pleasantly surprised cause the room's look big, spacious and comfortable.
I walked Into the 4th floor at ease, the months of gym certainly pain off . I watched a few of the freshers struggling and smiled to myself.

"Hey! Welcome rummy my name is Tara Stacy. "

Oh great my roommate has already arrived, i smiled back

"Hi, my names Kiara Rendy ."

"Cool make yourself comfortable and sorry for the mess." Tara

To be honest the room looked really clean and my roommate looks like she could have OCD and if she indeed does have OCD then I'm sort of going to be her worst nightmare.

"Oh that's OK" I said awkwardly.

I started unpacking and as usual I was extremely clumsy, messy, unorganized fromy peripherals view i noticed Tara visibility becoming restless which conformed my suspicion.

"Do you want help with that" she offered and I was not going to refuse, i could use any help she had to offer.

we managed to put everything in place, more like she did, she ended up organizing everything for me, it sort of broke the ice and we started talking to one another more freely.

After the unpacking we went to the diner room.

"So you're able to eat that??" Tara

"No" Kiara

"I know right! The food in here sucks, it's been a week since I came here and I could hardly find anything edible! You want to go out and grab something to eat? "Tara

"Yes please!"

Tara was growing on me. She told me that she had moved to new York a week back and this was her first time moving out, that she was doing her bachelors in business administration, it turned out that we had a lot in common and instantly connected.

The 1st day of college seemed hectic. I found it hard to figure out the classes and their assigned class rooms, after a lot of figuring out and I finally entered the class, most of the seats were occupied and there were a few left up front, so I decided to take the seat next to guy who looked friendly.

"Hi! My name is vankat!"

"Hey my name is Kiara"

"Did you hear that the professor, who's going to teach us common wealth literature, is MR Robert?" Vankat.

"No way !! I love his books, but I heard he retired last year" Kiara

"I taught so too, but apparently this will be his last semester." Vankat.

"That's great for us !!" Kiara.

"So what made you choose literature" Vankat

"I had always loved reading and writing books. I enjoyed English the most during high school, I had this English teacher who was brilliant and i admired her article on the daily. That's when I decided this is what I wanted to be, a Writer, just like her ?" Kiara.

"I aspire to become a teacher; I was always passionate about teaching and CANs is going to get me there." Vankat.

Vankat joint me and Tara for lunch they both seem to get along well.

A month passed by and I had kind of settled in.

Vankat and I sat together during the class.

"Ahh!!This hostel food sucks. I'm dying to get a nice cup of coffee and food from Treats." Vankat

"Oh... Vankat tell me something new, I mean you always talk about food and girls." Kiara.

"Oh is it! That reminds me, can u plzz introduce me to the cute neighbour of yours." Vankat.

"I'm sorry Vankat, no offence, but she's totally out of your league." Kiara

"Ha Ha Ha!! The miss witty Kiara, you think you're very funny." Vankat mocked me

"IDK about that, but honestly have you seen her and maybe yourself in the mirror." Kiara

Vankat throw his pen at me.

And I started laughing.

And in came ''Thomas Earn''

I have not always been thin all my life. At one point of time, I use to weigh 90 kilos and I was sort of bullied at school for being cubby.

But during high school my 2 best friend invited me to join the birthday party of someone i dint quite know, i protested but after some persuasion i tagged along with them.

During the birthday party a guy came up to me and called me "FAT" to my face.

He was drunk and was laughing with a bunch of his friends I was so humiliated I ran home crying. Thats when I decided to lose weight, by graduation I managed to loss 10 kilos and another 20 kilos before collage.
I had worked on myself and become strong physically and grew an insatiable hate towards that  boy.

And do you know who that boy was?

It was none other than bloody "Thomas Earn."

He walked in and sat right next to me.
