1) Meeting The Voldemort Of Her Life( Bianca POV)

1st June,2014

First Day at College

University of South Hampton

"Stop right there young lady! Where do you think you are going without breakfast."

I groaned inwardly. I swear that lady had the eyes of an eagle.Even at 76 no one could escape her eye.

I turned around and smiled sheepishly."No where Nonna.Just wanted to get some fresh air. How can I leave without that lazy grandson of yours,huh?"

"Hmm.Sure!" she said dragging it out, still eying me suspiciously ."Now what are you waiting for.Get on with the eggs already. And if you give away the breakfast to Nico again I'm going to whip both your backsides."

"Oh Nonna! My behind is too cute to be whipped but if I get extra eggs for it then whip away!" A voice chirped behind me right before I was engulfed in a bear hug by none other than my best friend .

With my petite figure and a height not an inch above 5 feet , and him being a bulky 6ft 2inch tall guy, I felt like a monkey in the arms of an orangutan.

"Good morning Cupcake! How did you sleep?" He asked me knowing fully well what the answer would be. The last time I had a peaceful sleep was the night before 'TheOneWhoShallNotBeNAmed' left me, when we layed in bed snuggling upto each other. Ever since, the nightmares returned to haunt me in the nights, consuming my sleep completely. Sometimes I would wake up kicking and screaming, other times I just lay wide awake, counting the fluorescent stars on my room ceiling.All councelling or therapy sessions were fruitless and in the end just left me as a shell of my former self.

I met Nico few months after 'he' left . With my funds amortizing, and my sperm donor still on the look out for me, I started working as a waitress in a small Mexian Cafe where not many people went. It was a perfect pace to distract me from my hearbreak and keep me safe too. The cafe was owned by Nico's Madre and Papu but after they died in an unfortunate car crash it came down to Nico.Cutting the long story short, as I continued to work at the cafe, doing more shifts as often while still juggling my college studies, we bonded and within a year I had moved in with them.

They have been my family ever since. None of them know about my past, no one does but one. And I prefer it that way. Getting too attached is a big risk I'm not ready to take ever again.

I was brought out from my tiny trip down the memory lane by a old lady-ish throat clearing. Nonna.

"Enough of those sad faces in this bright morning. I don't want people to say that Betty Lou's great grand children were born with blotchy eyes and distressed faces. Do you even know how important it is...." And just like that she was out of the room submerged in her thoughts, leaving behind two teenagers glaring at her.

You see, ever since I and Nico got close, she's been dreaming of the day we get married and start popping out little replicas of ourselves. Too bad,that's never going to happen because while I'm as straight as an arrow, my dear friend and her only grandson tends to bat for the other side. But we've never found it in ourselves to disclose this little fact to her so lets leave her ignorant for the moment.

Soon enough we finish our breakfast (full marks for guessing who eats mine) and rush off to our college.

University of South Hampton.Thats where I have been hiding out for 3 years now. Dressed as usual in a straightfit blue Jeans and a loose fitted white tank top, and covered up in a grey hoodie, I'm barely even noticed as I enter through the gates. All eyes turn to the insanely good-looking guy behind me. With his shiny black vinyl pants and jet black leather jacket, Nico sure knows how to pull off a sexy bad boy look. His GI Joe crew cut and devil-may-care attitude attracts girls like a swarm of bees.
