Collateral Love

I woke up at 7. Yup, I usually sleep till late, but today is my first day at this so called college."Ughhhh""Hm let's go"..I went downstairs and found my mum. She was preparing breakfast."I am going mum!" I yelled."Take this!" She replied.I don't like breakfasts..But I had to eat it. And just after I ate, I gave my mum a hug and went. She's lovely..but strict to rules."First day in college. I have no friends. Wow" I thought and entered the strange college.I entered the college and there stood my teacher. "She's beautiful"I thought.As I entered, she greeted me." Hello! You're the new student.. Ms.. Ms. Astrid, right? ""Yes mam!" I said and she gave a big smile.She introduced me to the class."She's Astrid Young from LA. I hope you all will be her friends" she spoke with her brightest smile.I said hello.Then I turned my fac

Astrid's POV"Hello, you're Astrid, right?" she asked smiling at me.I nodded. She sat down in front of me."Hello, I'm Ava" she said."Hi Ava" I replied."Can I sit here and have a talk?" she asked way too formally."Of course you can" I repliedShe told me that she also came here recently. She asked me if I could be her friend."Well Of course! I also needed a friend" and ya that's how formally we became friends. We then had our lunch and shared some of our stuff.After a while, it was class again."Ugh again that nerd.. Well I kinda like his irritating nature" I thought and then went back to my class.I again sat beside him and he didn't notice me. I was quite disappointed.Then he took out his book and started studying.See, when you like someone, you just notice their every move. Don't curse me for noticing all this.....Wait, did I just say

Astrid's POVThe test started in no time. I was a little scared when the sheets were distributed. But I have to trust him, I don't have other options anyway. I hope this promise is fulfilled.He started to tell me some of the answers which I had no idea of. I was quite impressed. He's so talented in studies. And here I'm.. On the verge of failure. I don't know what will happen if I fail. Oh god, I'm ashamed of myself.I was thinking all this, and I didn't listen to the answer that he already repeated the third time. I think he lost his temper and shouted."Can't you hear!?"I came in my senses and so did everyone. Miss Sophie was staring us blood eyed. Not us, really, but him."Stand up!" shouted Ms. Sophie.I was trembling with fear. We both stood up. She came near us."Noah!! You are the topper of this class. How can you be so irresponsible? What caused you to cheat?"He just lowered his

Astrid's POVIt is almost 4 and I've not reached the café. Not because I was lazy, but busy. My mom has told me to do some work."Mommm! I have a friend to meet today!" I yelled at her because she was burying me with the work."Beta, it's been only three days and you've already made so many friends?" she enquired because I'm a type of person who didn't have many friends in my school. One was enough."Yes mom and I have to go now!""Okay okay go. But come fast""Thank you mom!" I said and hugged her.Then I went to the café. I don't know why, but I wore my best casual clothes, that would not be like I'm showing off but they would make me look good.Wait. Why do I have a urge to look good in front of him? I always remain the way I am whenever I meet anyone. So why am I thinking this way? Do I.. Do I like him? But that ain't possible. I just met him today. How can I be like this?I didn't think more because I di

Astrid's POVI reached the college. He was there, on the gate again. I went near him."Do you plan to kill me?" he asked a little tensed.I didn't understand the situation. And what he wanted to say. So I just asked him."What?""You're looking so stunning and so beautiful. Anyone would die" he said and smiled.Oh, I also wanted to say that his smile is killing too."Oh really, then why are you still alive?" I cracked a small joke. He took my hand. Oh no. Why does he not understand that I don't want him to touch me."Because I have you. Others will die, but I won't" he said."You talk so sweet. Now leave my hand" I told him. He pulled me even close. I stopped breathing for a moment. I don't think he understands the depth of this situation."Lucas.. Leave me" I told him. He left me."What happened Astrid.. I'm sorry if you felt unc
