Natalie's POV

" Hi, Natalie. Good morning." I saw Jonny who sat beside me.

" Oh, Good morning, Jonny." I said and was a bit shocked cause I haven't seen him in a while.

" How are you doing these days?" He asked me.

" Hmm, good. What about you?" I asked him.

" I am fine." He said.

" Where have you been lately? I didn't saw where." I asked him.

" I went to my home in Liverpool. My aunt was a bit sick. Since she is my only family and I was hers I needed to help her." He said.

" Oh, that's fine. How is she now?" I asked him.

" She is all ok now by the grace of Almighty." He crossed his heart.

" Good then. You missed a lot of classes." I said.

" I know they were very very important as well. I couldn't catch them. This why I came to you. I hope you will help me at least. I asked 7 fellows. No one helped me." He said.

" No worries. I will definitely help you." I said.

" Oh, I forgot to congratulate you on your engagement. I saw it and I was shocked as well. How do you know Leo in the first place?" He asked me.

" Thank you, Jonny. I knew him cause his dad is my dad's college fellow and we are business associates." I said.

" Oh, good then. I am really happy for you." He said and I chuckled.

" Let's study tomorrow. I need to go home today. It's late." I said as I saw it was almost lunch time, I needed to pick up Nate from her college. Usually she goes home with Noel or with Christian. I don't know where Chris has died today. I called him but he didn't picked it up.

" Ok then."  Jonny said and nodded.

" Bye, Jonny." I said.

" Bye. See you tomorrow." He said and went out of the library.

It's Leo's birthday the day after tomorrow. I arranged everything the party, gifts, surprise for him. I planned to give him a shock saying 'I love you' to him. I can imagine his face once I say that to him. It will be very very interesting. I can't wait to see his face. I will definitely shock him this time. Leonardo Franquez. You are gone. So gone. Time to make you crazy. I laughed evilly inwardly. I took out my phone to call the people who were taking care of the party. Suddenly I saw a message from an unknown number.

" So, you decided to play this game?"

I at once knew it was Pallette.

" Let's see, Pallette. What the bloody fu*k you can do."

I texted him back.

" Let's see then."

He answered and I immediately blocked him number. No use of wasting my time with this idiot. I went to the parking lot and found my car. I got in it. I drove towards Natasha's college. I parked the car roadside and called my twin. She cut the call. I was going to call her again but heard a knock on the window and saw her standing next to the window. I opened the door and she got in. She put on the seatbelt and leaned back on the seat.

" How was your day?" I asked her.

" Tiring." He said.

" Let's go home and have lunch. I am hungry." I said.

" Yeah, let's go." She said. I quickly drove towards our home. I parked the car and got out of the car.

" I will get freshen up and have lunch." Nate said and I nodded. I went to my room then took a shower and changed into a white shirt and black jeans. I just was going to meet Leo after lunch I will go out.

" Julie, is the lunch ready?" I heard Nate.

" Yes, it is." Julie said.

" Then please serve it I will call Natty." She said and as she turned she saw me.

" No need to call me I am here." I said and I took a step ahead. We sat on the  dinning table and started to have lunch.

" Isn't Noel home?" I asked Julie.

" Yes, he is." She said.

" Where is he then? Don't he want to have lunch? Go, call him." I said.

" He already had lunch. He came earlier and then had his lunch. Last time I checked he was working on the hall. So, I didn't disturb him." She said.

" Good then. Are Mom and Dad going to be late today?" I asked Julie.

" Yes, they said they will be late and told you guys to have dinner without waiting for them." She said.

" Ok, then. I can be late as well. You make sure that Nate and Noel have their dinner properly." I said and she nodded. " Now, please serve. I am hngry as hell." I said.

" Just a minute." She said.

" Yeah, hurry up." I said.

" Are you going on a date?" Nate asked me pouting.

" I don't know. May be or may be not." I said.

" If you see Chris with Leo send him here. I didn't see him the whole day." She said cutely.

" Ok, I will send him. No worries." I said and she nodded. We started to have our lunch.

" Do you have classes tomorrow?" I asked Nate.

" I don't have classes. It was my last class today. I have my last exam on Monday. Then I will relax. " She said.

" And get married." I said.

" Yes and get married." She said and chuckled.

" Natty!!! Natty!!!" I heard Noel shouting from the hall.

" Who is dying now???" I asked.

" Natty!!! Come quick!!! Hurry up." Noel was still shouting.

" What's wrong?" Nate said panicking.

" Let's see." I said as we walked out of the dining hall. I saw Noel standing in front of the TV.

" What happened?" I asked him. He moved aside and the screen was in view now.

Leonardo Franquez was shot out of the court this afternoon. 

There was a breaking news. I couldn't see anything else cause I felt my eyes are blurry but I hold back to listen to the whole news.

" He is alright it seems. The bullet wounded his arm a bit." Noel said.

I never wanted to hear this thing. Never ever.

" I need to reach him first." I said and ran out of my house with Nate and Noel following me.
