I Will Make You Fall In Love

chapter-1

The sun was shining brightly, making the colors of the cute buildings almost glow. It was an early summer's day and the streets were bustling with people. Due to the close proximity to the college most of them were students, enjoying their free time with their friends or catching up on their work load in one of the many cafes.

Josie and Lizzie were on their way to their usual spot to grab some coffee before their next class would start.They have been friends/sisters ever since childhood and were basically inseparable.

It hadn't taken them long to build a good reputation for themselves. Lizzie and Josie were cheerleaders for the college football team.

Josie wasn't dating anyone, but because of her status and good looks she was the girl everyone either wanted to be friends with or wanted to be in a relationship with. The brunette definitely knew what power she held and often used it to get a free meal or free drinks at one of the bars around campus. She had no intention to settle down though. There was just no one that could hold her for longer than a couple of weeks. She got bored easily and was not willing to give up the freedom single life held.

Lizzie wasn't looking for a relationship as well. That didn't mean that she didn't enjoy partying, because she did. She just stayed away from hook ups and focused on having a good time dancing and playing drinking games.

The two stopped in front of their usual coffee spot. It was a cute cafe with a few tables outside and cozy armchairs inside. The tables and shelves that contained some books for the customers to read were made out of dark wood and the smell of coffee gave the building a chill vibe.

Josie scanned the people working behind the counter and when her eyes landed on who she was looking for her lips curled up in a smile.

"Hey, good morning" Josie said with a fake smile plastered on her face, to the barista.

"Hi, Josie..hey Lizzie" Rafael says while  making coffee.

"Hey Raf.. you're coming to kaleb's party this Friday, right?" Lizzie asked

"Yeah I am going.. actually Josie uhm.. would you like to go with me" Rafael ask while handing them their orders.

Josie choked on her coffee. Lizzie got up from her seat and started lightly patting Josie's back.

"Hey you ok?"both Lizzie and Rafael asked in unison.

"Yeah I am good.. it's just..uhm I- I was thinking something".

‘No, obviously i am not ok. How do I say.. I - I don't feel anything towards him’

"Oh" was all Rafael said.

"Oh.. looks like it's time we should get going for our next class" Lizzie says grabbing  her stuff and turning towards door and running outside to escape this awkward and tense environment.

"Bye... Lizzie, why she is in hurry” Rafael says laughing awkwardly.

"So, what do you say, can I come to pick you up for the party" he says with a bright smile.

"Ahmm.. look Raf I.. how do I say"

"Say what?"

"I don't think it's a good idea"

"What, you are not making any sense" Rafael says with confusion all over his face.

"I.. ahmm..I "

"Josie!"

"Look I can't come with you because I am looking someone else" she said all in one breath.

Shit, Josie why did you  lie. He is such a nice guy, he deserves to know the truth. Wait.. what am I thinking, what am I supposed to say.. hey Raf you are a good person but not what I want..

"Wha- wait you are kidding right?"

"I wish I was.. sorry Raf"

"Good bye Josie" he says turning around

"Raf.."

Rafael didn't said a word and with that Josie left the cafe. She was definitely upset but was happy also that she didn't have to pretend to be in love with him any longer. He was not the only one she had been with for a while and then out of blue broke it. She was in search of a soulmate, which she hasn't gotten YET.

Hope was looking around for a certain green eye girl, when she saw her best friend she went running towards her and gave hug from backside with bright smile on her face .

"Dude you should have come up with me inside, I just met a real life angel. She had this beautiful blon- " Hope stopped her rambling when she turned her best friend around. The smile on Hope's face quickly turned in concern for the girl standing in front of her with teary eyes.

The Raven hair girl didn't said anything. She just showed her empty bag to her friend.

"Penelope what did you do?" Hope said hoping what she thinks should not have happened.

"Hope...  he said his mother is critical in hospital.. so I - I gave him" she was cut short by angry Hope.

"You gave our savings to him!!"

"Hope I - I am so sorry I- just..I don't know he needed help" Penelope says with teary eyes trying to calm down Hope.

"How could you just give a strang-"Hope stopped when she saw her friend was on verge of crying.

Hope let out a breath and sat silently on the bench near by. After a while Penelope also sat by her side.

"Penelope you know I love you right?"

"Hmm"

"Then please stop giving me heart attacks. I can seriously die someday with all of your this.... kindness" and innocence.

"I am sorry"Penelope says looking at the ground and fidgeting with her fingers.

"Ahh.. come here" Hope says opening her arms inviting Penelope for hug.

Both friends sat in a comfortable silence in warm embrace of each other.

"Pen we have to find a shelter"
