"Since the time I saw you, I started liking you", she said while biting her bottom lip. My heartbeat stopped and I felt numb. I could not believe my ears. Did she just admit it that she likes me? My mouth became dry and I couldn't speak anymore. My heart filled with joy and all I want at that time was to kiss those soft lips of her.

When I again looked into her eyes, I just pinched myself to assure myself that I'm not dreaming but it wasn't a dream. She said that.

Veronica's POV:

As I left the hall, all I wanted was to break something. My anger was eating me from inside. I lose my temper. I hate this school, I hate every person in here. They all treat me like trash. I ran into the gym and threw my backpack at one side. Luckily there were no students so I got all the ground by myself.

My life was ruined. Mr Oscar Jude, our Principal is the world's worst man, I've ever seen in my life. He knows quite well about my love for science. My dad is a scientist and I want to be like him one day. Last year, he rejected my science project because I was late by three minutes and that's too according to his time. I wouldn't be so mad if he applied the same rule for his Christina too.

Christina Ravens is not only the heart stealer of the whole school but hse is also the granddaughter of Mr Oscar Jude. Christina's mother is the daughter of Mr Oscar. 

My knuckles were continuously punching the punching bag and it kinda feels good. I always do it in school whenever I'm pissed off. I'm sure if I continue like this then that punching bag might fall off! I twisted my body and kicked the punching bag from different angles. After some fine kicks and punches, I finally stop. 

My chest was rapidly falling up and down and my face was fully dressed with sweat. I wipe the droplets from my forehead. My anger was still on fire and I was ready to kick some butts.

"You're good". Suddenly someone spoke behind me. Quickly I turned around and found a figure sitting behind me. It's not like that no one came at this hour over here but it's strange that someone is willing to talk to me. At first, I thought she must be talking to someone behind me or simply talking over the phone.

"I'm talking to you", she said and this time I checked around to assure that she was talking to me. When I found no one I realize that she was talking to me. With my confused expression, I looked at her. She didn't show any emotions but slowly approached me.

With thousands of question in my mind, I looked at her. "Excuse me but I think you must have mistaken me with someone else", quietly I spoke and finally analyze her face. She has a serious but beautiful face with a beautiful blue-green pair of eyes and mid-shoulder length white-blonde hair. Her face was simple yet beautiful. Every corner of her face scream innocence and her red-back check shirt and black pant was perfectly fitted over her body.

She was the one who is known for her unique taste of clothes which are actually not revealing like Christina but she always wears decent clothes and her intelligence. She is not from our school but since our school and her school shares the same Gym, pool and the music class, sometimes she could be seen in our school. She is not only known for her intelligence but also her rude remarks. 

"No, I'm talking to you", suddenly she spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts. She rarely speaks to anyone and that's the reason behind I was so surprised. She looked at me and my tense body and then she said, "You look awful". I rolled my eyes at her comment as I  unwrapped the cloth that was covering my knuckles and turned my attention back to the punching bag.

"And also wrap the cloth around your knuckles or else you might hurt ", she said with no expression. My mind was a mess and now this girl was getting on my nerves. By this time, she was staring at me. Scanning every move of mine. From the corner of my eye, I saw her sitting quietly and staring at me. Okay, this upsets me when someone stares at me. No matter who would be. When she didn't stop, I punched the bag so hard that it seems like, it might fall off.

"Why do you care?", my anger exploded. She looked at me with the same expressionless face which somewhere annoyed me. When she saw that I was getting mad, she spoke, "Is it bad grades or bad boyfriend?". I stopped the punching bag and gave her a question-mark look.

She pulled out a bar of chocolate and began to eat. "It seems like you're mad over something. That's why I'm asking". My knuckles were hurting since some scratches were formed due to my hard punching. I pulled out my hair rubber and soon all my baby hairs fell over my face. I pushed them aside and said, "Whatever you're saying it's none of my business". I know I'm rude but she's making me mad.

I grabbed my bottle and sat near her to collect my things. As I was about to leave, suddenly she spoke, "A bad boyfriend". Quickly I turned over and saw her but she wasn't looking at me but she was staring at the front wall. Before I could say something, she simply left.

I made my way towards the canteen when I saw Him with Christina. Okay, I know it's stupid but this makes me nuts. As I approached the counter I realized that it wasn't the same guy who serves the food but someone else. 

As far as I remember, I haven't seen him before but as I didn't care about a thing, I quickly took my meal and tried to leave but he stopped me. "Eh- Excuse me?". The guy has a really deep and great voice. I turned back to him. "I think you forget to take this", he said while showing me the drink. Okay, I have to admit that I always embarrass myself in front of almost everyone.

For the assurance, I checked my meal tray and found that I forget to take my meal. I awkwardly took the drink back from him. The guy had a kind face with gentle sea-green eyes. His meal boy cap suited him and his light brown hair looked great. He is tall with medium muscles. 

His eyes scanned my whole gesture and when he didn't stop starring at me, I burst at him. "Will you just stop staring at me and mind your own business?", harshly I said. The guy looked at me with quite a surprise. I thought he might just leave the counter but he didn't. "I am", suddenly he spoke and I looked back to his face.

His eyes has something really interesting. It felt like it's like some marble as they were shining and were really pretty. Also, it was completely different from Tristan. My subconscious mind spoke and quickly I brush off the thought away from my head. By the time he scanned me whole, from head to toe. 

Before I could speak, someone bumped into me, making me a bit defensive. "Found you!". It was from Jasper. "What the hell Jazz?", irritatingly I asked him. "I was looking for you", he said with a puppy face which melts me.

"Hey, Peter, what's up?", suddenly Jasper barked at the counter. How on earth does Jasper know this guy? I wondered.
