The Secrets of Her Past | My Princess

Chapter 1. Neighbor

Hi, I'm Taylor, I am 19 and I study at the prestigious UCLA college, in Los Angeles, although it is expensive, but I was offered free tuition. I am brown-haired with bright blue eyes, I am short, but I have a good figure. I am an orphan, after I left the orphanage, I was looking for where to go and I received an invitation to UCLA, for excellent grades in school and efforts.

I'm studying to be a journalist. I don't know why I chose this profession... I just liked it... I live in a dorm with my roommates: Joe and Becca. We have a large "apartment", we have two small rooms and a living room combined with a kitchen. Joe and Becca are sleeping in the same room, and my roommate is also due to check in today. Since today is the last day of check-in, and during the summer holidays I lived in my house, left over from my family.

"Tay, help me carry the box," Becks says.

"Of course." I said, and we carried the big box into the room. "Do you keep bricks in there?"

Becks. Beautiful 20-year-old girl, studying to be a pediatrician. She is brown-haired with gray eyes. She's terribly obsessed with order, which is a little annoying.

"Funny. " at that moment, there was a knock on the door, probably my neighbor. "Joe, open the door." Becks yelled. Jo ran to open the door.

A beautiful girl, she is 21, she is studying to be a designer. She's a tall blonde, but surprisingly she's quite kind.

In the living room, I heard Joe's happy squeak. I dropped the box in fright. Becca and I ran out of the room and saw a tall guy and Jo hanging on to him. Don't tell me he's my neighbor. I heard that in the fifth year they practice cohabitation of boys and girls, but I'm in the second year! I think I saw him a couple of times last year, he didn't live in a dorm, I only know that he is studying to be a programmer and that he is in the fourth year.

"Taylor, Becca, this is our new neighbor. The girl jumped up and down happily.

"What do you mean?! " I was outraged. At this point, the guy was smiling at me vulgarly and looking me up and down. His gaze settled on my chest.

"Hey, my eyes are higher! "

"Hi, I'm your new neighbor. " A guy came up to me and held out his hand.

"Why didn't they warn us?" I ignored the guy. I started to get angry. Why the hell should I live with him?

"I don't know. Today is their day off, tomorrow we'll go and ask. Don't be mad. " Becca said.

"Where's my room?" This guy interrupts us. He's starting to piss me off. He keeps staring at my chest. Besides, what is his name?

"First of all: what's your name? Secondly: you don't even have to put your things out, you're here for a couple of days. Third: your room is there. I pointed to my bedroom. "

"Thank you." he got too close to me and started breathing in my ear. "I'm Hunter." he's gone. That b***h! No one does that! Especially with me. If he comes this close to me again, I'll geld him!

"And maybe I'll sleep in the same room with him? " Jo whined.

"No!" Joe and I answered simultaneously.

"Why?"

" You’ll r**e him in his dream! We don't want to rip your body off of him! " Becks resented.

"Maybe he'll be hit on me, not me!"

"You're both so alike." I said.

I walk into my room without a word and see this jerk putting his things away.

" I told you in clear language, do not lay out things! You're only here until tomorrow. "

"Are you sure I'll be transferred?" Hunter says with a grin on his face. And where is his sweet smile now?!

" Of course, I am. " I heard a small chuckle from him. " You don't believe me, that I will evict you?! "

"I don't believe. " he got too close. "You're so sexy when you're angry." All right, bro, you went too far.

I hit him in the jaw and then with my knee on his manhood. He twisted in pain. He decided to play with me? Okay.  Plus one in my favor.

I ran out of the room and went for a walk. No one asked me anything. And I'm glad of it. I need to get some air, or he'll just die. I was walking in the park near the university. It's very beautiful here when everything is green. I saw a lot of familiar people from last year. Many people unload cars with their belongings or just walk around.

They called me the "Cold Queen" here, like because I didn't love anyone back. I like it, at least they don't hit on me like they used to. Many people tried to ask me out on a date, some idiots tried to kiss or put me up somewhere without permission, and then they ended up in the infirmary. I hate guys like Hunter. They are womanizers, arrogant turkeys, think that they can do anything because their parents are rich.

An hour later, I finally return to the apartment. My hand is terribly swollen and it really hurts after the blow. I hope this amoeba won’t have any more children after my stroke. I don't want idiots like him to continue their line.

I went into the apartment and 4 pairs of eyes stared at me. Why four? That's because besides Joe, Becks, and the arrogant turkey, there was another kid. He's studying with Hunter, if I'm not mistaken. They're like friends... sort of... I don't remember.

"Taylor, your hand is swollen." Becks broke the awkward silence. " You need an ice" She took an ice pack from the refrigerator and handed it to me.

"Thank you"

"You're cool." - said a guy I don't know.

" Sorry? "

"You're the first girl to hit Hunter Campbell without even screwing him. " - the guy was surprised. 

"And I hope I won't be the last." I looked at Hunter.

Was he smiling? He had a snide smile, so to speak. He was examining me, again... Looks like one blow wasn’t enough for him. He had a bruise on his chin. Good job, Tay.

"Caleb. " The stranger held out his hand.

"Taylor. " I shook it.

 Night, 12:32 a.m. Taylor and Hunter's room…

All evening, this paramecium did not take his eyes off me. Why is such a jerk has a normal friend? Caleb is a very sweet and funny person, not like Hunter. After I've sorted out my things I'm going to go to bed. Our beds are at arm’s length. I just hope I don't strangle him at night. He came into the room, while I was lying down in my bed and reading an e-book. He stripped down his boxers and got into bed.

"I want to warn you. I talk in my sleep. " He said.

"Me, too."

"And I sleep naked." he dropped his underpants to the floor.

- Ugh! Asshole!

"You're the first one to react like that." Goatface grinned.

"f**k you. You won't be here tomorrow. "

"Naive. I love it. "

"You drive me mad. "

"Likewise. "

An hour later, I finally fell asleep. This guy really pisses me off. If he wasn't like that, I wouldn't be outraged.

Night, 4:45 a.m. Taylor and Hunter's room…

"No! Please don't! Noooo!" I shouted in my dream, and then someone started shaking me and hitting me on the cheeks. I woke up terrified. Hunter was standing beside me, looking worried.

"You were screaming in your sleep. What kind of dream did you have? "

"Nothing. " I took his hand away from my shoulder.

He was standing covered by the blanket. I got up and went to the kitchen. I rarely have such dreams. The psychologist told me to take sleeping pills, but today I forgot about it. I poured myself a glass of water and drank a sedative. I hope I didn't wake Joe and Becks. What is unlikely. When I returned to the room, Hunter was already asleep. I lay down on my bed and fell asleep.

 Morning, 10:20 a.m. Living room…

We had breakfast with pizza that Joe had ordered. Now I sit in the living room and watch TV, waiting for the house management to open, it seems to start working at 11. Today is the last day of vacation and so my friend Katie and I are going to a club near the college.

Katie is my friend. I met her last year, at a history class. She's from my stream.

When it was 11, I went to the house management, which is located in a small building opposite the dorm.

"What do you mean, no room?!" I asked the main housekeeper Mr. Jefferson.

Not only have I been sitting here for an hour, but they're brainwashing me. Like, "no room because of juniors." He was transferred to us because there are not enough places in the guys' rooms. I'm so mad.

"It's only for one year. Then he will be transferred. "

"That doesn't make me feel better, Mr. Jefferson." I replied sarcastically.

"I've said it all, Taylor. You can go now." He pointed to the door.

"Thank you very much for helping me to solve my problem." I don't know how to stop.

"Ross!" He shouts at me. Yes, my last name is Ross.

"I'm leaving — leaving!" I hurried out the door. Because I don’t want to get into more trouble.

Damn it. Now I have to live with him for another year. If I tell him that, then he has won this battle. 1:1. But this does not mean that he won the war. I decided to call Katie and ask her to meet me before the club. I have to tell her everything.

Beeps...

"Yes. "

"Hello, Katie. "

"Hey, Tay. How are you?

"Not really. Can we meet in half an hour at our cafe?" I really wanted to talk to her.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yep."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." She hung up and I decided to take a walk.

The cafe is only a 10-minute walk away and there is no point in taking a car. I took a walk in the park and went to a cafe. A couple of minutes later, Katie came in. We hugged and sat down.

"What happened?" She asked without hesitation.

I told what Hunter had done, what I'd hit him, and that he was my roommate for the rest of the year.

"I'm sorry. I've heard of this Hunter Campbell. He's a fourth-year student. He is studying to become a programmer. Handsome, sexy guy, slept with a lot of girls. He didn't live in a dorm before, and now I don't even know why he lives with you. "

Katie. A beautiful brown-haired woman with blue eyes, we are somewhat similar. She's in her second year as a journalist, just like me. She lives in a rented apartment near the college. She's the only one who knows my past.

 Night, 21:15. Club…

We're at the Blue Lagoon Club now. Becks and Joe came with us. I was glad I hadn't seen Hunter all day, or I'd strangled him. There are a lot of people in the club and most of the people are students of our college. I had a couple of cocktails and went to the dance floor. I noticed that this goat face was sitting on the couch and staring at me blankly! Asshole! I walk up to him angrily and stand right in front of him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I shouted, because the club is very loud. Among his friends, I saw Caleb, he was sucking with some girl. Apparently not far from Hunter.

"I'm resting, you don't like something?"

"Can you imagine, I don't like it! You've come to this club, even though you've never been here before. And you stare at me blankly." I know Hunter wasn't here, because I would have noticed him right away.

"I just decided to celebrate my victory."

"What victory?"

"I went to the house management and asked myself. They said I wasn't being relocated." He replied with a malicious smile. That b***h. "It was one-one."

"Trust me, you'll be moving out of my house in a couple of days."  I left that asshole. He drive me mad! Did I say that before?

By two o'clock in the morning, I went home. I wanted to sleep. Hunter wasn't there yet, what was a relief. I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
