~ Avril's POV ~
Everything will be alright, right? What can go wrong?
Well, that’s what I thought, but as you know nothing goes the way we want it to be. My aunt was helping me in packing the stuff for the first day of my campus life. I can’t believe that I am finally going to university just like normal kids.
Adolescence is an age where all we want is love, friends, popularity, a perfect body, but all I crave is freedom.
Freedom to choose my own path, freedom to choose my own mistakes, but I never got such opportunities.
“Avi, take care of yourself. You know what will happen if something went wrong, right? I am going back. If I don’t then your parents will find the truth, but are you sure you want to do this?” My aunt Lily asked me while she was looking at me.
She is a sweetheart. She always gets worried about me and I can’t blame her for this as I am going to be the first time she is going to rebel in my family and my aunt is secretly helping me.
“Don’t worry aunt Lily, I promise you that I will take care of everything while I am staying here”, I replied to her with a bright smile.
She immediately embraced me in a tight hug and said, “At least let me pay for your campus fees. How will you manage everything by yourself?”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Lily. I have already applied for some part-time jobs. I will manage it somehow”, I replied to her whilst hugging her back.
After breaking the embrace she looked into my eyes and asked me in a puzzled tone, “I don’t understand why are you trying to hide your grey eyes? Why do you have to wear these hazel colour lens?”
“You know the reason for that, don’t you? Come on, give me a warm hug for the last time. As of today, my new life is beginning”, I said to her while hugging her for the last time.
“If you ever get into trouble just give me a call. At least, take some money from me for your house rent”, she said to me while going through her handbag.
I stopped her and then I asserted to her while taking my books, “No, I don’t want your help aunt. Like I told you, I will manage everything by myself one way or other.”
While heading towards the exit, I heard her long sigh.
Finally, here I come to my new life.
At the university
Ravenswood High is an esteemed university just like its name. Just by looking at it, you can tell that only the children of elite people can attend this university.
I have heard about this university even in my hometown. Great people have passed from this university.
I then fixed my specs with my index finger. I was now heading inside the university with a hopeful gaze.
Oh, I need to submit these documents to the main office. s**t! I have to hurry otherwise, I will be late for my first lecture. I was now dashing towards the lift direction as its door was almost closing. I arrived on time and I was able to stop life.
“Thank God, I was able to stop the lift. Now, all I have to do is submit these documents and then hurry to the lecture hall”, I muttered in a low voice to myself.
The moment my gaze fell on the people who were already in the lift, my eyes got a little wide.
The guy was kissing a girl and not only they were all over each other.
What? They are making out in the university’s lift. Don’t they have CCTV cameras installed in this lift? How can he be so reckless?
Just by looking at making out was making me uncomfortable and embarrassed that I was now standing at the same spot with shock written all over my face.
The guy’s green was so captivating that I was unable to look anywhere else. Because of the woman’s face, I was only able to see his eyes, but soon he broke the kiss with the girl and his eyes meet mine.
His handsome face was now visible to me. He has brown hairs, thick eyebrows and a chiselled jaw. His shoulders were quite broad and he has a well-built body.
“Ugly, it’s bad manners to stare at people. Don’t you know its basic manners?” He said to me in a deep and husky voice whilst pulling back his hairs.
Wow, even his voice is sexy.
No, that’s not important right now.
This damn guy dared to teach me basic manners.
“Hey, don’t you know it’s better to get a room for doing this kind of stuff and it’s a basic manner to not do such things in the lift", I replied to him while glaring into his green eyes.
The girl who was still breathing heavily then groaned at me, “Do you even know whom you are talking to? Watch your tongue, you piece of crap.”
What, now he needs someone else to protect him.
“So what? That doesn’t mean he has the right to break the rules”, I said to her while crossing my arms over my chest.
The guy then smirked at me and then he started to head towards me whilst I was only walking backwards with a confused look on my face.
Suddenly, my back hit the door of the lift and he was now standing only an inch apart from me whilst I was caged in his arms.
“Listen ugly, in Ravenswood High, Ashton Ross words are the law and I make rules here not another way round and also, congratulations for triggering me in the wrong way.
I promise you that the memories which you’ll make here will be priceless, ugly", he whispered to me in a hushed voice while I was looking in the opposite direction.
He then leaned close to me and I immediately shut down my eyes, but after a few seconds, I heard him chuckled. When I opened my eyes, he was nowhere to be found.
I was all alone in the lift while my legs were still trembling due to sudden shock.
What the hell did just happened here? What did he mean by those words? God, I never want to see that jerk’s face ever again.
I was so happy before meeting that, weird guy. Well, you have heard about love at first sight, but for me, it was hate at first sight. The more I think about that jerk, the more my blood starts to boil.
“Come on, Avril you can’t get upset over something like that. Your new life is waiting for you”, I mumbled to myself in low voice and after that, I started to walk out of the lift.
After submitting all the papers in the main office, I was now dashing towards the lecture hall. When suddenly, I bumped with someone and because of that I lost my balance, but strange, I am not feeling hurt anywhere, but why?
“Miss, can you please, get off me?” I heard someone’s husky voice from behind.
Now, I know the reason why I am not feeling hurt. It was because I was sitting on someone’s lap.
Can my day become anymore worse than this?
