Ryan...When Rhia and I got out of the car, we were welcomed by the stares from the females who had stopped their tracks all of a sudden.Rhia chuckled as she felt their gazes. "Congratulations, you are going to be popular among the girls."I scoffed at her and leaned my back on the car. "You are kidding. It was true in my previous college but in this college, it's quite impossible because there are dozens of rich hot guys here."Rhia shook her head. "All the girls are staring at you, not me." She voiced so confident as if she has degrees on this topic. "Anyways, Thank you so much, brother-in-law, for the drive.""My pleasure. But Rhia..." I paused and looked at her after locking the car. "You can call me Ryan as well. We are the same age, right? And in college 'brother-in-law' sounds quite awkward.""Do you think it'll be okay with you?" She asked, narrowing her eyes as she walked closer to me.I nodded and moved away with an awkward

LauraThe bell rang, alerting all about the first class.But I still can't get over the whole thing that happened just now! What did he do to me a while ago? What did he say? I shouldn't go around like this... I mean like what? And protecting me? That sounds more insane. Ah, damn. That's disturbing. But... Focus, Laura. You can do it! You know you don't care, not at all.With that much determination, I strolled to the classroom and found my seat back again. But when I opened the book, the girls beside me didn't seem to let me sit down calmly."Yah, Rose, don't you think... that new boy who punched Nick is cool?" The girl in red raven lock flattered. I know her, she is popular. Her name is Lisa.The other girl beside her named Rose shook her head. "What are you saying? Just cool? He is the most handsome boy in this college." She whispered, fawning on him again, stealing glances at Ryan who was now busy talking with his best friend, Alex.Jeez, girls! What's wrong with your eyes? Cool?

Laura"I saw Lisa with the new guy in the hall. I think they are dating already."Of all rumours, this one is trending now. Ryan and Lisa's love story! Unbelievable. He is literally hooking up with her in the hall.Anyways, none of my concern.I plodded towards the common room and sat on the couch where lays dozens of memories. Memories of us. Aaron & I. Here we chatted, we laughed, we supported each other hours after hours.There was an endless happiness between us with no trace of sorrow. We never fought, not even once. A soft smile spread across my lips. Happy memories have a way of saving when nothing else can."You called." The voice arose when the door was opened.It's the most familiar voice to me. Aaron. I looked up at him with the glint of hopes growing in my eyes. He was handsome from the depth of his eyes to the expressions of his voice. But the stare he gave me wasn't gentle anymore, it was replaced by the hardened lines

LauraThe pungent smell of hospital disinfects, invaded my nostrils as soon as I entered the hallway."Woah, I didn't know Ryan's mother is admitted to Duilgo hospital," Rhia commented, gaping at every luxury corner of the area.Duilgo hospital is one of the most luxurious hospitals in town. He is really using my money, huh?Ryan didn't hear what Rhia said or at least pretended to, letting out an awkward smile. "You guys wait here." He said before holding the door of the cabin beside him and slumping inside.After about minutes later, Rhia took a seat on the couch at the side and dragged me down beside her. "Laura, did you cry?" She seemed worried when she held my hand and looked at me.Is it really Rhia concerning about me? It's so unusual of her. I forced a smile and shook my head. "I didn't.""Liar."Both of us almost got startled by the sudden interruption of Ryan's voice. Did he call me a liar? How dare he!I blinked my eyes

Ryan"Here." I handed Laura her nightgown when she kept saying that she can change her clothes herself. She wasn't in her right mind, that's what weakened my confidence. "Are you sure you will be able to change alone? I can ask Rhia to help you." She pulled herself from the couch clumsily and squinted her intoxicated eyes, glaring at me. She is really cute when she is drunk. No cold stare, no harsh tone. She should drink at least once a week. "I don't need Rhia. I can do everything alone. I am not weak." Not weak? She was tolerating all the bullies alone mutely, not even protesting against them."Yeah. I saw that in college today." I scoffed at her as I watched her unbalanced organs tripping over nothing. "Go and change before you collapse."She pouted and reached out the buttons of her blouse. "Why do I need to go to the washroom? It will be too hot there. Let me change here." Saying that, as she started unbuttoning it, my eyes widened
