Cole's POVOne thing for sure, she doesn't remember me. Hazel-My Hazel.But can't really blame her though. We were basically a children for fuck sakes. When I heard that Aunt Mary would move to Chicago, I was beyond happy at the thought of seeing Hazel again.Am I being weird? Is it normal to have your first love at 8? Geez, I'm totally mad.Kat would freak out if he knew Hazel was the one I've been talking about when I was with her. The very reason why I never really into a commited relationship with anyone ever since high school.I was ready to tell Jordan about her- my childhood first love, but I stopped when I heard her name from his mouth. Jordan been talking about her non-stop ever since he met her. I want to denied that they were the same Hazel, but I can't.Deep down I know it's her. The Hazel that Jordan been talking about is really her. And the way he talked about her, it seems like he had no idea at all about who she is.Did Jordan knew Hazel is Aunt Mary's niece? Is that w
Jordan's POV“Stand up, you motherfucker!” I yelled while looking down at him. The bastard even dares to have that smirk on his face even though he's literally laying on the floor.“Damn..” He chuckled, standing up.I glanced back to look at Hazel. Thank god she's okay. Apart from her surprised face, she looks fine.“Well, that was fast.” He added as he faced me, glancing for a second at Hazel's direction who's currently standing behind me.“Yeah, fast enough to beat the hell out of you.” I chuckled.“Tsk tsk tsk.. and here I thought I could have some fun with our Hazel.” Daryl replied, as his eyes focused on Hazel, smirking.This bastard-“Sorry for ruining our lunch date, Hazel.” He added, making my BP hit its peak.“A lunch- what?” I asked, in disbelief, as I let out a sarcastic laugh.Did the bastard just say lunch date?Damn, I'm losing it. He better choose his next word carefully. “Jordan, let's just go back-” Hazel pleaded, as she stood there, behind me. Even without looking b
Hazel's POVAs all of us walked out from the bar, I could see Jordan standing beside his car, looking in our direction while both Cole and Roman were walking towards him. And since both Kat and Keira are also walking towards him, I cannot help myself but to follow them.It's quite difficult for me to face him right now. Not after what he just saw inside there earlier. He saw me. He fucking saw me at my most vulnerable state.And I really hated that.Will he tell everyone about it? Damn it, I can't help myself but to overthink about this.“So, back to campus?” Roman said to Jordan as we were close to him. Roman then looked at Cole, and lastly to our direction.“To be precise, back to the dorm.” Keira sighs dramatically.“I'm still sleepy due to what happened last night at the party, and today, with this whole thing about Hazel getting taken- Geez, I really need my pillow.” Keira whines as she looks at me like someone just stole my candy.Roman laughs at her statement. “Yeah, that's bec
Hazel's POVThe sounds of the lunch's trays that were made when it was being put together with one another, students talking and laughing, queuing up, taking their lunch, playing around, filled the cafe as soon as I set foot inside.I look around the cafe, hoping that Jordan is not here. During my whole avoid-Jordan-at-all-cost mission, I bumped into him a few times, but I always managed to get away before he saw me.There's this one time when I just finished my class for the day, I saw him stand at the corner of the hall, talking with a bunch of guys from the football team. I hide below the table in a heartbeat like a total idiot, waiting for him to get out.Then a few days later after that, I saw him talking with Cole and Aden near the guy's dorm as I was on my way to the campus's small grocery store just right in front of the dorm. I bolted back to the dorm like a lightning, and even fell down to the ground just as I was going into the lift.And don't even get me started about how
Hazel's POV People keep saying that in order to move on, you need to let go. But the thing is, it's not that easy. It never was, and never will. All it took was just one mess. One fucking mess, to change people completely... How I wish to turn back time. I really do. "Hazel..." Aunt Mary's voice brings me back to reality. "Are you sure about this?" "Aunt Mary, we've already talked about this..." I sigh, as I watch her trying to focus on the road. "You better watch it, Ken is going to freak out if you end up at his ER on our first day in town." I add. Kendrick Miller, the CEO of the biggest hospital here in downtown Chicago. I've never met him, but I heard enough from Aunt Mary. The fact that someone like him will be the partner of my aunt, I'm quite thankful, and I wish them nothing but happiness. "Don't you want to stay for a night though? Before you go to the dorm?" She asks, with that hopeful look on her face. "Please??" She adds. "Aunt Mary, I'm just going to stay at th
Hazel's POV Finally, the first day of campus life. All the freshmen are currently enjoying the campus tour, led by a few of our seniors. And since Kat is in her third year, I need to start looking for another cool person who would be nice enough to talk to me first. Making friends; The first things on the bucket list given by the doctor. I let out a deep sigh, already missing Kat's annoying voice. "Yo.." A voice suddenly said from behind me. I turn back to face that very voice. "I'm Keisha." She adds, with a smile. Thank you, lord! "Hazel." I replied, smiling back. "So, campus tour huh." She said with a sigh, as both of us continued to walk, following the crowd of the freshman. "Alright freshies, so for this slot, we're going to divide you into four teams." One of the seniors suddenly said, basically yelling. Figured. With all this crowd, if it was me, I'd be losing my mind already. "The library, registrar's office, fitness center, and the student center-" He continues. "Ug
Hazel's POV "I believe I had something to return to you!!" The idiot yells again. Oh fuck. I literally screamed inside of my head right now. I stop. I basically stopped to walk even further, I stood there, as all the students were starting to murmurs while staring at me. I could even hear the sound that the mic makes as the idiot switches it off. And since everyone seemed to be anticipating what would've happened next, the loud crowd suddenly became silent. All attention is focused on the drama- to be precise, on me. I turn around to face that idiot who is currently making his way towards me. I let out a deep sigh as I clenched my fists. And the way all the students just gladly making way for him to come at me is just- Absurd. Ridiculous. And here it comes. The stupid grins on his face are perfectly showing as he is just about five steps away from where I stand. "Miss me??" He said, still grinning like a total idiot, as I narrowed my eyes at him. "Whatever it is that you-" I
Hazel's POV Fraternity; that one thing that I've been telling myself to avoid at any costs when it's time for me to go to college. But here I am, standing in front of one of the frat houses of the students from Chicago University. And the fact that Kat is actually a part of the sorority sisters really surprised me. Aren't they all supposed to be annoying like the queen bee on typical college drama? How come Kat is so approachable, and friendly? "Here.." Keira hands me a cup of drink that she took from the tables over the porch, as we make our way towards the front door. I watch as Keisha takes a sip on her cup, making a weird face as she tastes it, while Keira is drinking and vibing to the music. "Ugh..." It tasted weird, and quite strong. Keisha laughs as she looks at my expression. "Yeah, my thoughts exactly..." She chuckles. "Relax, it's just a booze." Keira laughs when she watches both Keisha's and my expression. "Cheers to our freshman year!" She adds as she drinks more,
