Joshua's pov:I gazed at her dreamily. She thinks I sympathize her because of her past but no she is thinking wrong I love her for who she is. How rude, angry and cold she is with everyone. How she tries to interacts with me even when she is a silent person. How she trusts me so much so that she told me her past without any hesitancy. She is the strongest girl I have even seen and my love for her is only increasing."What are staring at?" she asked me suddenly. "You." I said slyly. "It's rude to stare." she said rolling her eyes. "Says who don't care about anything." I said smirking at her. "Now you are annoying me Josh." she said annoyingly. "Because I love to do it." I said coolly. She punched me in my stomach. It hurted because she is strong. "Owww. It hurts." I said over dramatically holding my stomach like I'm in so much pain. "Where? Did I punched you so hard?" she said in concern. "Yes, you hitted too hard." I said hissing and saw her caressing my stomach. "Yes do it p

Joshua's pov:I was on the way to school thinking about yesterday's moments with Grace. After dropping her home I went back to my home. We didn't started working on the project yet because it was almost evening when we returned to home. So, I decided to head back home not wanting to disturb the family again. Though it is not even a family. I thought all day night about what Grace told me. How her parents, her friend who was his crush and that psychopath treated her. She didn't deserve that, heck no one deserves that. She is a victim but she never shows that and always pretend to be strong and rude. That's how she is soft from inside and rude from outside. As I entered towards the school main gates I saw there stood Lucas, Dylan and Alex already smirking at me. What's with them in this early morning? "How are you Joshua?" Lucas asked smirking evilly at me. "None of your concern." I spat back. He grabbed me from my shirt and pulled me to him. "Do not answer back like that to me."

Joshua's pov:She dragged me to an abandoned class and slightly pushed me infront of her. Her face was turned into pure rage and I'm not even a slight bit afraid of her anger because I knew she will never hurt me. "Show me your hand. Is it hurting?" I asked in concern holding her hand. She yanked my hand and turned her head away. "What happened to you Grace?" I asked tired of her behaviour why is she behaving like this? "You know that." she spat."I know what?" I asked her confused. In return she scoffed and didn't said anything. "Why did you hurt Stacey?" I asked again. "Because of you." she said gritting her teeth. Me? "But why me I didn't understand?" I again asked not getting anything. "Why were you eating by her hands? How dare she feed you." she snarled. "Because I allowed her to and there is nothing to get angry about it." I replied angry by he statement. "She can't feed you." she spat. "And why is that?" I asked raising my brow at her. She snapped her head at me. "

Grace's pov:Me and Joshua are walking to his home for completing our project. Yes, now we decided to do it on Joshua's home because of the drama unfolded infront of him yesterday at the mansion. I don't want him to see that again and become uncomfortable. Yesterday our whole day went in vain because of so much drama we just collected flowers nothing else. Joshua himself asked me to come with him at his home for the project. It's fine with me if he is comfortable. 'And what about your comfort.' my inner voice mocked me. How? How I'm thinking about his comfort instead of mine? I was not like this I was the selfish one who thinks about own comfort before anyone else. He changed me. He made me the person opposite to who I was before. Rude and selfish. Yes these were the words which described me perfectly. Today when that Stacey bitch ratted about me to him, he took my side. He told that I'm his girlfriend his priority in front of everyone without any hesitancy. This act of him made me

Joshua's pov:I took Grace to my room after having our lunch. She got a little emotional too after mum's sweet gestures because I know no one ever did that for her. And I love this side of her. When she express herself show her emotions that how is she feeling. Soft side of her which she not pretends to show that's her real self. Currently we are sitting on my study table. She is sitting opposite to me. I noticed her features which are much more softer than before now her eyes shows emotions, her hair tendrils falling on her face, her full concentration on studying about flowers parts. One thing I more got to know about her that she is very brilliant in studies. When I didn't understood a topic she elaborate that for me. I was surprised how she knew everything when all she do is sleep in the classroom. When I asked her that why she don't do better in class tests and examination and her reply was I didn't wanted to study because for whom she would study. But when I told her she shoul
