Steal My Heart ♥

1. Attention

Medley Stryder's POV

I wake up early as usual and take a shower to refresh myself and get ready for college.
I tie my long hair which reaches
till my waist in a bun and pull out a suede shirt and wear a long tight black skirt.

Yeah.. It sucks.

But I don't really care how people look at me. I just want them to leave me out. I don't like attention.

Then I wear my glasses and put on a pair of sneakers.
I don't really have eye problems but I like wearing it because it helps me to ward off people from me. You might be thinking that I'm such an introvert but no.
I have two best friends.
Ayla Moore and Lisa Brooks.
They are like family to me.
Now I'm ready and head downstairs.

I find my parents waiting for me by the dining table with the breakfast ready.
"Good morning mom and dad!"
I greet them and take my seat.
"Morning sweetie." Mom greets back with a smile on her face.

"Morning beautiful!" My dad beams while studying my dressing and I find a frown on his face. "Why do you always hide your beautiful self sweetie?" My dad asked.

"Don't be mean honey. She's just trying her best to fit in." My mom defended me.

"It's okay mom. I know dad wants the best for me. I'll try my best dad!" I grin at him and get a thumbs up in return.

30 minutes later....

I'm on my way to my class.
I can feel the gaze of the others around me. Ahhhh... I really don't like it! Then I hear a thud and fall down with my books scattered around on the ground which I was holding a moment ago.

My hands are on my temples and I'm trying to assess what just happened when I hear a deep voice "Miss? Are you okay?"
I look up to find the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen! He had blonde hair and he was really cute. I got lost in my own thoughts and hear the same deep voice ask me again with concern "Miss? Are you really okay?"

I quickly get up on my toes and reply back "Yes." And then I look down to find that my books are gone. I look up again to see that the guy was holding my books and smiling at me. His smile was contagious and could make any girl's heart race.

I blush and thank him while taking my books.
"I'm really sorry. I wasn't looking where I was walking and then bumped into you." He apologised.

"It's okay." I reply back preparing to walk away when..

"I'm Ken Marshall" He started.

"I-I'm Medley Stryder." Then I walk away as quickly as possible and finally reach my classroom.

"That's it?!?" My best friend Ayla Moore almost ranted out at me when I finished narrating what just happened a while ago.

"I must say it was a big step from your part Med!" My other best friend Lisa Brooks supported me.
"Thanks Lis!" I reply while looking at Ayla.

"Med! You really need a makeover! It will add hugely to your looks." Ayla scolded me as usual.

"I don't really mind Med!" Lisa added in with a grin.

"And you too Lis!" Ayla snapped.

Ayla's so obsessed with the way she dresses and presents herself. She always looks so pretty in anything she wears. She's the shortest among the three of us and she has a bubbly personality which makes guys go gaga over her. She's part of the make-up club in college.

While, Lisa is the tallest and she does have a beautiful figure and a pretty face but she's kinda like a tomboy. So she usually don't wear girly clothes and mostly wear casual clothes. She's part of the sports club and plays basketball.

And me... I'm the bookworm in my college. I have long brown hair with a pale skin and probably the worst dressing sense in the college. I'm part of the literature club.

When we were still discussing about the incident, the bell rings and everyone rush to their seats.
I sit in the third seat on the left row. While Ayla in the last second seat and Lisa in the last, both on the left row.

The teacher enters after some few minutes and everyone greets him while standing up.
He gestures us to take our seats while greeting back.

He starts " We have a new transfer student who's gonna join us from today. So I want all of you to help him out on whatever he missed the last semester."
He gestures the new student to come in.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Ken Marshall enter the room. I quickly turned back and gestured Ayla and Lis that Ken is the guy and they both smile back at me.
Ken finished introducing himself and finished off with his contagious smile which made all the girls squeal with excitement.

"You may go and take the seat beside miss Stryder in the left row third seat." The teacher looked to my side.

Ken thanked him and came towards the empty seat beside me.
"Hey. It's good to see you again"
He smiles and sits down.
"Same here." I reply back.

Ahh!!!  I'm really bad at conversing with new people.
I really can't keep a conversation going.....

But I'm really so happy that Ken's sitting with me. Yay!

"So tell me about yourself. Medley right?" Ken started.

Okay... He remembers my name!

I started while stammering and hardly managed to tell him about myself. I only gave him the general details. And asked him to tell me too.

I learned that he came from Australia to this town which is Auckland due to the divorce of his parents. He has a younger brother who is attending high school. And so now.. His mom is the one supporting him and his younger brother. His dad remarried again.

"I'm sorry about your parents."
I say with concern.
"It's okay. It was for the good I say." He replied with a smile.
Awww.....that smile!

Then it's lunch time and me, Ayla and Lis are seated in the right corner of the cafeteria with our lunches ready in the table.

"Okay. Shoot! Med." Lis beamed.
"Yeah! We wanna know. What did you guys talk about? I saw that you were having a hearty conversation!" Ayla stated with excitement.
I told them what Ken shared with me and they too felt sorry for him.

Just then.. An idea struck me.
I could request Robert Stanley! The 'Fashion King'. Wait a minute.. Did I just mention that?

Huff....stupid me... He'll never agree. Robert Stanley's a tough guy.

Robert Stanley is known as the 'Fashion King' in college. He is also the most popular guy with devilishly good looks and enormously wealthy. Girls literally throw themselves at him but he's not interested in any one of  them. He always manages to look so good in whatever he wears and his smile...ahhh....
His dimples are so cute!

"Med! Are you listening?" Ayla looks at me.
"Huh? Yeah.. Yeah.. I'm sorry I lost track."
"While thinking of Ken?" Lis smirks.
"No way!" I blush furiously.

Now I'm lying on my bed and recalling the events of the day.
I think I'm interested in Ken! Not just because of his looks but also because he is such a sweet and friendly guy. I want to know more about him and make him see me.

For that... I need Robert Stanley's help. I know he'll never agree...but there's no harm in trying! This is the first time that I'm feeling like this for anyone.. So I wanna give it my all!

I'll keep this plan from Lis and Ayla for now. I'll have to request Robert Stanley first and then I'll tell them.

Okay...this is my first time trying something without telling Lis and Ayla.

I'm really nervous! Best of luck to me!
