HER SHIELDS

CHAPTER 3

VALERIUS POV

I was sitting in my first lecture , it was boring as usual because I was already ahead of the class , I had already completed the whole year syllabus . I wanted this year to get over as soon as possible , the noises in the class were just ticking me off , why these stupid students can't just shut their filthy mouth , I wish I could just shoot each and everyone of them .

But then suddenly  everyone went silent , I tore my gaze from the book just to see a petite girl , her back was facing me and she was talking to the teacher , must be some another eye candy new girl , I sighed and went back to my book .

fuck she is so hot 

i wish she is a virgin 

an exquisite beauty she is 

i think she is just a plastic material 

she looks like a w***e 

many whispers reached my ears and  i decided to ignore them ,boys just wanted to f**k the new girl and the girls were burning out of jealousy , well it's nothing new . they are like this everytime , useless shits . 

"mr. martinez please raise your hand" why the heck that hag wants her to be seated beside me . I just want to sit alone , why the heck she is telling that girl to sit beside me , that piece of s**t , i am gonna make sure she gets her ass fired by tomorrow . my dad and my older brothers rule spain , oh i forgot to tell you , my family is a mafia family , my dad is the mafia leader ,while my eldest brother vincent is the next leader after dad resigns from his position . 

The girl sat beside me and to my surprise she didn't make any attempt to strike up a conversation , thank god she is not some desperate slut . she focused on her work while I did on mine .

"hey I am layla" I hate this Layla , why the hell can't she just shut herself up . first she and the other girls tried a lot to hit upon me but when I didn't even look at them , they got tired and eventually gave up , pathetic stupid sluts .

"hii I am taara" I heard the voice of the girl sitting beside me , her voice was so ...soothing ?

"so who was the hotty with you this morning" again this Layla , so desperate .

"my family friend" taara answered

"great then can you give me his number" Layla said shoving her phone in her hand , is she for real .

"sorry but he won't like me giving you his number without permission" god what is she even sorry for , but I stiffened when  she clutched my tshirt. what is she trying to do . 

"what a b***h , want to have that greek god all for yourself huh , what a slut" she sneered and taara's grip on my t-shirt was getting tighter , was she afraid . 

"m-my n-name is n-not s-slut" taara answered her grip tightening on my t-shirt with every word .well ,yes she is .  

"oh yes you a-" Layla couldn't finish her sentence when i slammed my book on the desk and glared at her

"if you dare to say another word again , then it would be my fist and your cake like face , got it b***h" i seethed , i didn't like it when Layla was calling her names , i felt as if she wasn't insulting her but me . a part of me was aching for the girl sitting beside me who i haven't even seen .

"s-sorry" Layla apologized , fear swinging in her big brown eyes . better , she should know better than to mess with me , I am a Martinez afterall .

"are you fine , you are clutching my tshirt too tigh-" i asked the girl but when I got the complete view of her face , my heart stopped , i felt as if someone had drowned me in a pool full of icy water , i felt numb , was this real was i really looking at her , i couldn't believe it but then she had the same eyes , she had the same colour , i felt as if i was looking at my another version , all of it felt so surreal for me.

"i-I am s-sorry , i-I didn't mean t-to disturb you " her voice was filled with fear when she realized that she had clutched my tshirt too tightly , i looked at her unblinkingly , afraid she would vanish away if i blinked . 

"n-no it's ok , I am valerius martinez " i said  , for a second her eyes widened but they got back to normal , why she is not recognizing me . 

"h-hi I am t-taara" she said and valerius looked at him skeptically .

"taara ..??" he asked urging her to tell him her full name

"just Taara " she answered 

how can her name be taara , is she really her or it's just a mere coincidence , i observed her throughout the class and in the next classes too , she was my sister , my twin-sister then why she isn't recognizing me , after the lunch bell rang , i rushed to my elder brothers  lucian and livio classes.

i ran up to their classes , and when they came out their eyes landed on me , when they saw me panting hard , they ran towards me . 

"hey val , what happened , did anyone tried messing with you" luce asked while liv just held a blank expression , he had grown distant in these past years just like my every brother but he and dave have grown a lot more distant than any of us . 

"N-NEVAEH" when the word left mouth , their eyes widened , i knew they couldn't believe what i said , well i couldn't as well when  i saw her first 

"w-where" my heart warmed when i heard liv asking me that , we grew distant after we lost her and now if this is really her then only she would get us back together like we were before . she will bring my happy family back , i can call the place where i live my home once again . please nevaeh , please let it be you Nevaeh . i don't want to lose you again
