Can Betrayal lead to a true love?

Chapter 2

"Ok, students, we are done for the day." professor Lucas announced after he finished the class. I walked out of the classroom towards a corridor, and suddenly someone pushed me lightly from behind.

"Where have you been yesterday? I kept on calling you" said Liza.

Liza is my only true friend in and outside the university, who understands me. We are together since high school. Liza is very extrovert and outgoing, which is opposite of me, but she still puts up with my quiet and boring character. Always trying to cheer me up.

"Sorry, I must have missed your call," I replied.

"I am sure you must be engrossed within your thoughts," she gave me those knowing looks, "I wish those thoughts were about some hot and sexy guy, but I know you too well for that." She said rolling her eyes.

"Yes, you know me too well" I smiled. While we talked, we both went to the café of the university and sat at our usual table.

"You know what, this weekend there is going to be a charity event, a party after the exhibition, which will be attended by almost everyone I can think of. You are coming with me," she said as a matter of fact. "You should take part in the exhibition and show how good your paintings are," She said with excitement.

I rolled my eyes and then looked at her "You know Liza, I don't like going to parties, and I don't paint to show it anyone" I replied.

I was fond of painting since a very young age, but I started taking it seriously after the age of 12, and since then I paint quite often. It is the only way to get my emotion out on those canvases.

"I know you don't, but why not? It's for charity. You could help someone through your artwork. Please, it will be fun, and we will get to meet many hot guys there," she kept on with her reasoning.

"Come 'on, look at you, you are a beautiful girl Misha. 5'6'' tall, nut brown long hairs, fair glowing skin and perfect figure, that too from a super-rich family and Intelligence with no attitude. You are a dream girl for any boy. It's high time that you meet someone and move on from your family drama" Liza said dramatically. Liza's sudden out bust surprised me, especially her description about me amazed me. Liza never gives up on me, which sometimes irritates me, but most of the time bring a smile on my face thinking that someone does care about me enough to fight it with me.

"Liza you know that I am not allowed to go to the much-crowded places. It gets so awkward to go out with a bodyguard following you all the time." I tried to reason out with her, but I thought about what she said. She was also right that through exhibiting my paintings I could contribute by helping someone in need.

"Don't worry about Max, we will figure out something, but you are coming with me. Please for me." She gave me her those puppy look.

"Fine," I finally gave up. "But I would need to ask my father."

"Ok, done," she said with a huge smile.

"Hi Misha" we both turned to our right and saw Bobby standing with three cups of coffee in a tray.

"Hi Bobby" I replied with a smile. Bobby is my lab partner in my class.

"I saw you both were coming to the café, so I ordered coffee for both of you." He said with a blushing smile on his face.

"Oh, you don't have to Bobby" I felt awkward about his gesture. I could see from the corner of my eyes Liza was giving us an amusing look.

"No, please I insist," Bobby said and put the cups down on the table.
