ELLE'S POV:

Life, Eh? It's just a phrase I've heard myself and others say over the years, many time.It's often only just audible, thrown away over a sigh, or comes at the end of a laugh. So,I'm revising female reproductive system from past seven hours or more like starring the diagram because i'm so done, I can't access anymore, alright you must be confused why i'm all nerdy today, its my final zoology exam today in two hours and I'm supposed to ace it, that's the only way I could get into Yale University for MBBS on scholarship.

I'm passionate about my carrier it's more like a competition to me, I guess that's why they call me beauty with brain (a bit self obsessed too).

Let me tell you about my life.Well,hello if you're christian,Salam if you're Muslim and Namaste if you're Hindu,you know my name already its Elle. I'm eighteen, the only girl in my family, I'm good in football because I play it to company my baby brother, Ryan and Zach(my first cousin). Uh, Zach let's not even talk about him because he is my bad luck, its my exam today and I can't risk it (LOL IKR?). I absolutely hate his existence, we live together in a joint family. One minute I try to understand him,the next I can't stand the sight of him.

   You must be wondering what's the reason behind my undeniable love for him (note my sarcasm please)! Its just I don't remember a lot from childhood but as long as I remember, we never actually had anything in common.
He was the star-child before I was born, loved by everyone including my parents,his parents obviously and my nanno (grandma). He wasn't your average two year old kid, being the only child of Rizvi's family he got all kinds of toy cars, animals, blocks, beyblades, fidget spinners, yo-yo and bat-ball.He liked riding tricycles a lot.His mom like most parents, loved to capture and shared all those moments on facebook but this attention was soon diverted from him as Elle Rizvi came into existence and that's where the controversy began and still going on...

WHAT THE HELL its already 7:15am I need to hurry up for college I thought as I throw my zoology book and ran towards my wardrobe to grab my uniform and iron it.After finally getting rid of the wrinkles from my uniform I left it on the iron stand and marched to the bathroom to take the hottest shower I could.

After about ten minutes,I shut off the shower, wrung out my hair, wrapped myself in the thick towel and lazily went towards the iron stand only to be greeted by a hole in my uniform pants, what the hell I ironed it properly I tensed, I have exam in 30 minutes what i'm supposed to do now? I lean my head against the wardrobe once again as I noticed my last year cheerleading uniform, I quickly changed into it and went downstairs for breakfast not forgetting my take my burnt uniform with me. Oh look who's up early nano and bad-luck.
"Goodmorning nano!" I greeted her as I blessed her left cheek with a kiss.

"Goodmorning Elle, best of luck for your zoology exam I know you'll ace it" she replied.

"Best of luck Dumbo" said Zach.
Oh yeah, he's here too. One glance at his face and my eyes turned red.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS?" I yelled as I shoved my burnt dress on his face.

"Exactly dumbo, why would I do that? Nano, she's 18 and still doesn't know how to iron clothes. Ch ch!" he smirked.

"Excuse me bad-luck, we both know who did this and i'll seek revenge" what kind of organism is he? i'm sure he doesn't fall into sapiens specie Nano interrupted me from my thoughts saying "Elle, its already 7:45am aren't you getting late for exam?"

"OH MY GOD yes, Nano ask him to drop me or else I will miss my exam today, Sir Danny doesn't allow extra seconds"

"Excuse me? Am I your personal uber driver? First,there's no way i'm letting you put dirt on my Ducati 1098 and secondly,i'm not taking you anywhere in this mini skirt,wear something else or take my jacket, you have two minutes." I hate Zach when he's bossy.

"And who are you to decide what i'm supposed to wear in college plus I'm not dying to ride on it like any of your make-out girls.I prefer going with Alex but he already left". I knew more argument will be useless so I just went to his room to grab his oversized jacket.
He shifted his bike into high gear as I seated behind him and began a long downhill, building speed, anxious to get me to college.

———————————————————————————

"Elle is this you?" someone yelled as I walked down the hallway to the cafeteria.

"I took me 22seconds to realize its you." Well here's my favorite specie in the entire universe, Alex Brown. We're best-friends before you even knew the term best-friend,he know every phase I went through growing up, even with all those things being factor in this friendship, he still chose to be my closet friend and I love him for that.

"Hello, 911 I need a new best friend because my previous so called best friend can not recognize me anymore" I dramatically faked a call from my cellphone.

"Duh Elle,its just you're wearing Zach's soccer jacket to school and last time I checked you consider him your bad-luck.Why on earth would anybody wear their bad-luck's jacket to their exam?" Alex was confused and curious at the same time,wait! how does he know its his jacket?

"Sorry for being dumb but how do you know its his jacket?" I asked honestly.

"Elle,his name is written on the back.I don't know what I'm supposed to ask first,how was your exam or why you're wearing his jacket because it's a way of letting others know that Zach is taken and 'off the market' and you're indirectly telling all these girls to back-off", He explained.

"Considering how amazing person I actually am its a good thing then,I'm saving all these girls from that douchebag.Anyway, how was your exam?Zoology was easier than I expected". I said as we entered in crowded cafeteria.

"Except for the fact that I don't know what I wrote 'Regulatory functions of kidney' it was okay" he said as he led me to our usual corner bench and we started talking about anything to everything.He told me about when Rose(Zach ex girlfriend) surprised Zach by wearing the same jacket to one of his football match and he made a great deal out of it and almost asked for breakup.I guess it's complicated then because he himself asked me to wear it.Wait,Is he setting another trap for me? God, not again.
