Elle was a sweet girl. She was your girl next door type.
Curvy, petite and stunningly beautiful, Elle was the complete opposite of me with her talkative, outspoken, extrovert nature, but still, we bonded and became very good friends over this summertime.I liked her curly brown hair, but she doesn't, she never believed me whenever I told her how much lovely they are. She likes my black, straight hair, which runs in a thick mass up to a little above my waist shielding my backside like a screen.Back to the conversation, I asked -"So how things are going with you and Andrew?"Andrew was her third or fourth boyfriend, within the three years. Elle was such a good girl but every time she mystically chooses the bad boys. What's it about bad boys? I wonder if I would ever fall for one, though it sounds ridiculous even to my ears.There was a sudden pause on the other side. I thought maybe she ended the call."Andrew-he is an SOB...We broke up babe." A serious and emotiona'Today was going to be my day' I thought to myself, because why not?I was feeling excited from the morning cause I will be going to Archibald Academy today. I was kind of an introvert and my friend circle consisted of several friends that are less than the fingers of both hands. Preferring quality over quantity was not a bad thing, to be honest. I still hoped that maybe there I would make some new friends. At least make the numbers reach above the fingers of both of my hands as well as feet.But I was also a little nervous, to be honest. I mean who would be not?Chris drove me towards the Academy. Gran was also there in the back seat."How can I miss such a big day of my Skylar?" Gran cheered.Gran has always been my #1 support system. I have packed my suitcase and she helped me with it. Thankfully I have secured myself a dorm to live in. Soon enough we entered inside the majestic campus. My heart was beating erratically with excitement regarding the start of a new b
"Hey, Elle."I smiled at my new roommate. The loneliness that I was feeling before now has vanished into thin air."Finally you are here! We are going to rule Archibald Academy."Well, I am not sure about ruling over Archibald Academy. The only thing that I had any interest to rule over was my grades."I can't be too sure about that.""Oh, hush! I will introduce you to many of my friends and we will have so much fun together."Fun? I could get used to the fun but not too much fun."Before we do all that, tell me about this school a little."Elle and I both talked about the academics and facilities available in the school. She especially told me about the dos and don'ts.Like if you want to go for a booze party then Stella's place was the hub. In case you want to bunk the dorm and chill outside for late nights then bribing the RA with a little booze would do the wonders.And the most important part was not to get caught by the minions of Mr Archibald, th
Mister Arrogant was Victoria’s boyfriend! How does she handle such a rude jerk like he was beyond my imagination? Well, it was not my problem, but judging from the scowling expression of Victoria, one thing was crystal clear. Victoria was irritated with me. I guess I could expect that from her since I was the one who interrupted her French kissing session with the handsome hunk. So Mr Arrogant also goes to this school. Was it fate or some silly coincidence? He was gazing at me with his poker face like he was busy deciphering my identity. Before he could do that, I decided to change my direction. He offended me once. There was no need to repeat the same mistake twice. Before I could embarrass myself further, Elle grabbed me by my elbow. “What are you doing?” She whispered through her clenched teeth. “Running away.” I started running towards the track field without giving any one of them su
Saturday was officially here.Today was also Elle's birthday.The first thing I did today was wished Elle for her special day.But like earlier days, only wishing by call or text doesn't work for our generation.Could you even call yourself a real friend if you don't wish for your friend on social media?But, to be honest, life was quite laid-back before all of these prominent social media networks were created.My presence on social media was like finding water on the moon. Which was almost negligible.My advisor once told me that I need to have a significant online presence if I ever wanted to be admitted into any ivy league.From then on I broke my social media virginity. My account has twenty followers and I had uploaded the picture of cherry blossoms as my profile picture.The only four pictures that I had uploaded were basically of me with grandmother, our little restaurant, one with Chris and the last one I recently uploaded was with Elle, wishing h
We reached Elle's place within thirty minutes. She had texted me her address before. I was accompanied by Chris, so I didn't have to recheck the address.Thanks to Chris's seamless driving abilities, we were only one hour late.Though I would like to give some extra credit to myself."You brought the party pass right?" I asked."Of course I did, even though we don't need it," Chris muttered.After our check-in with the security guard, we drove inside and Chris parked his car in the parking section that was lined with numerous expensive vehicles.Elle's eighteenth birthday party was organized outside Elle's house. We walked through the well-maintained lawn towards the venue.The decoration was chief's kiss. I gazed around to assess my surrounding.I was awestruck by the decorations, lights, the stage and the huge five tire cake!Beside the stage, there was a music band who were playing some party pep that was blaring from the speakers, spreading everywhere.
It was like a movie playing in slow motion in front of me.I witnessed the masterpiece of God's creation, walking on the red carpet. He was heading towards the place where we all were standing.This time Mister Arrogant was smiling.Oh my gosh, HE WAS SMILING.It was the first time I saw him smile and to be honest, I did not know one smile could look so attractive on anyone's face.His presence screamed power and had this aura of hypnotism radiating around. It was not only me but everyone seemed enchanted the moment he stepped into the party.He carried his over six feet tall, lean and chiselled frame that demanded attention.God! does this type of man really exists?But what was this? he was not alone. There was a young woman beside him, who looked like a supermodel with red-dyed hair. I recognised her.Victoria walking hand in hand with him and flashing her beautiful smile just like her beautiful red hair colour, at him and the cameras at every other sec
"Chris, come with me, we need to 'DISCUSS SOMETHING' very important," Elle announced.Chris gave her a look that said -Have -you -lost -your -mind?Elle smiled and tried to drag Chris away. I realised that Mr Arrogant was giving a suspicious look to the spot where mine and Chris's arms were still locked with each other.Chris unlocked our hands and went away with Elle.Elle winked at me and left me and Mr arrogant alone at the spot.I bet there is no such 'something 'to discuss between Elle and Chris."So, we have met before." startling me from my thoughts with his husky voice, Mr Arrogant gave me a non-alcoholic beverage glass and grabbed one for himself from the plate carried by a passing waiter."Yeah, we have met before at the mall and during my morning jog and guess what, both of the meetings were not so nice ."The bitter truth, which was boiling in my mouth earlier, was now ready to explode over this man."There would be no such 'not so nice meeting
"Sure, captain." Coward Chase happily handed me to Ethan the moment he asked no ordered him to leave the dancefloor.The music had changed to a slow one.I placed my hand on Ethan's shoulder and believe me when he placed his hand on my waist, the spark returned. My thin layer of dress couldn't hide the feel of his hand on my skin.We moved slowly with the sound of music.Our eyes never broke the contact.I wanted to ask him, why did he kiss me on my cheek but choose not to. I was too afraid to speak something stupid and break this special moment.He danced too well.Even if we didn't want to break the moment, Victoria did. She interrupted us anyway.Jealousy and guilt both engulfed me.For God's sake, he does have a girlfriend. Don't get involved with him Sky.He was completely out of my league. I tried to knock some sense into me and left them on the dancefloor.I marched towards Chris instead."We need to leave now, lets
