Can't wait!!

Myra's POV:

We walked on the pavement along the edge of the basketball courts. I didn't really pay attention to my surroundings as I already had plenty on my mind.

I followed behind Nia and Nat to wherever they were leading me. We all sat down on the wooden benches, one above the other. Nat introduced us to each one of the members of the small crew they had.

There was practically only one girl other than Nat and she was Amelie. Amelie had black, long, straight hair reaching the tip of her hips. She had dark, hispanic eyes and clear olive skin.

She wore a dark green crop top which showed just half a inch of her belly, with her belly piercing on display along with a pair of dark blue distressed jeans, black nikes and a matching leather bag which crossed over her shoulder.

The two were very friendly and welcoming. It turns out that there are four boys in their group too, but they're training on one of the three courts. Nat and Amelie seemed so thankful that they found us and were no longer out numbered by the guys.

During the conversation, I had a quick glimpse at my timetable and it turns out that I only had one class today so I had the rest of the day to myself since Nat, Nia and Amelie all had a class after lunch.

{§}

I seemed too engrossed in my own world that I didn't realise when the girls stopped talking. I followed their gazes and found that 4 guys, wearing sports jerseys and shorts were walking towards us.

2 of them I now knew by name, one of them seemed as though I have some kind of a connection with. Nat and Amelie got up and walked over to two guys and hugged them.

I saw Nia checking out Abhimanyu and shook my head. Yup, times have changed. Once upon a time guys used to check out girls, but now it's vice versa.

I sighed as the group approached us.

"Myra, Nia, let me introduce you to my boyfriend Sebastian Williams, and Seb this is Myra" he greeted me, "and this is Nia" he greeted her as well.

Sebastian or Seb as he prefers, has reddish-orange hair with a pale face accompanied by light freckles covering his skin. He was tall, yes, but not than the other three guys, although he did tower above us girls.

Amelie too introduced us to her boyfriend Francais Romazi who was just as friendly. He was model material. I believe he is of brazilian descent because of his flawless tanned skin, dark hair and defined features.

As I thought, Abhimanyu introduced himself and shook hands with Nia. She looked as though she was going to faint but thankfully she didn't. Imagine how hard it would be to carry someone to the other side of the campus where the dorms are located.

Abhimanyu seemed like the life of the group. He is very silly, and mischevious. He could be proclaimed the second tallest of the group along with Francais and had dark eyes with jet black hair, fair complexion and a sharp nose.

He was just as friendly with me, but didn't shake hands with me. He was nice but distant towards me. In fact, compared to Nia, they were all distant to me.

There was a pause until Abhimanyu spoke once again, "this is Ruhaan, Myra. I mean Myra and Nia" he introduced the guy next to him who was shifting the basketball between his hands.

Ruhaan, who had been glaring at each of the guys who greeted me, made me slightly uncomfortable.

He was the tallest and most built out of the lot. His skin was darker than Abhimanyu and Seb, but slightly lighter than Francais. He was like a greek god.

We held eachothers' gaze for a couple of seconds until the four returned to their game of basketball, and were now the only ones playing on the court in front of where we were sitting because training was long over.

Most of the hoops were shot by Ruhaan and from such a distance, that is quite hard to believe. I hadn't been listening to whatever the three were talking about, all I was doing was looking at Ruhaan from the corner of my eyes. I don't know what or how, but I was finding myself more and more pulled towards him a-

"It's fine if you'd rather be in someone else's arms than be talking to us" Nia said all of a sudden and I moved my eyes from Ruhaan to Nia, Amelie and Nat.

"Nia" I tried to warn, but it was too late. Nat and Amelie had already caught onto the hint and forced Nia to "spill the beans."

"I know we just met Ruhaan today, but I can already see sparks flying between the two. It's as if they know eachother, they're made for eachother. Don't you think they look good together?" Nia was honestly getting on my last nerve.

"Nia stop saying all this rubb-" I tried warning her but Amelie cut in, "I agree. I can see this emotion in Ruhaan's eyes. I've never seen anything in his eyes for as long as I've known him. Ruhaan doesn't do emotion, he doesn't do love, but he could change, right?"

Nat nodded. "Why don't we all try and unite these twoooo-"

Nat's expression changed. All three of their faces turned to the left towards the basketball court. Wondering what they were looking at I too turned my face in the same direction.

The only difference is that mine collided with his, his as in Ruhaan's, "oww" we both said in unison as our fingers started rubbing our own foreheads. The bell rang as we continued to stare into one another's eyes.

"We'll see you two later" and after that I heard muffled footsteps and giggles heading away from the two of us.

He inched closer, "what do you want? What are you doing?" I asked as I could smell his minty fresh breath fanning over my face.

"Relax Mira, I'm just getting my bag and water bottle. It's behind you" he clarified and I could feel his biceps vanishing behind my waist and grabbing hold of his belongings.

"You don't need to be scared of me Mira" he said and walked away drinking the liquid from his water bottle.

Mira? Why did he call me Mira?

One more little memory, just as blurred as the last flashed in front of my eyes blinding me.

Flashback:

"Ruhaan, it's Myra not Mira"

"No I'll call her Mira. She's my Mira mumma. Right Mira?"

"Yes Ruhaan. Your Mira."

Flashback ends.

I give up!!

There's way too many secrets. This book is gonna go long.

Yeah the conversation was small but it was the first and that really is important for the story to progress further.

Hope you liked it. 😊
