Chapter 1
It was a very dark and misty night, the rain poured like ice cubes and it was hurting when the tiny rain droplets touch my body. As it's the winter season it's freezing and chilly outside, which makes it so hard not to shiver. But it's much worse now with the rain and I feel like I'm trapped inside an ice cube. I was on my way to my new school dorm as I'll be entering Avalon High from tomorrow.
I really didn't want to leave my parents behind and come to Avalon at all. I like it much better in Illyria as it's not this much chilly and freezing. Well my mom won't listen to me at all. I don't really have an interest to go to a high school. But I couldn't possibly tell that to my mom as she'll probably say,
"Oh! Shut up Rebecca, you don't know about anything. Going to a high school was the best part of my life. That's where I met your father. Go and find a boyfriend. They'll fall for you just looking at you just like your previous middle school classmates. High school guys are so handsome. You'll be mesmerized by them. You'll love a guy and you'll hate to come back. So go. I want you to enjoy your life, darling. It's time for you to go out and feel yourself."
Believe me even I'm sometimes surprised by her optimistic nature as I don't think as a mother she should be telling those things to me. The thought of my mother made me sick and I forgot that I was carrying an umbrella as I tried to wipe my tears away from my face. Because of the strong wind my umbrella flew away. I tried to catch it but I couldn't. Instead like a preschooler I ran after it, just to find a guy holding my umbrella.
"Ummm..... Sorry but can I have my umbrella back?"
I know I sounded rude but I was already shivering too much and now without my umbrella I'm dripping wet. When he looked at my mouth dropped. He.... he's...... he's SO DAMN HANDSOME. He has blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. Just by looking at his eyes I could feel the sea breeze. But my stare was broken as he offered me the umbrella saying, "Here u go". Only when he moved a step towards me to give my umbrella back I saw him clearly. His eyes were slightly red and it looks like he has been crying. His hair is a complete mess too.
I took my umbrella not looking down and our fingers touched. Being conscious I jerked my hand back. Even though I don't know who he is, for me at this little meeting, he shone like a Prince Charming. Before he could leave I said, "thank you". But before I could ask anything he turned around and started walking. I ran after him and touched his hair. Which was very stupid of me. He suddenly turned around and pushed my hand away angrily. But at that moment I didn't mind him as my attention was solely on his perfect hair. Instead I whispered almost to myself,
"Silky, perfect guy's hair. Must be treating it properly. Hmm........." without minding his face I asked him,
"Are you a model?"
He looked surprised and asked me,
"Yeah, but how did you know it? From your looks you are not from Avalona right?"
I nodded my head saying, "No, I'm from Illyria. I knew it"
"Knew what?"
"That you are a model"
"How?"
"Well..... Because mostly ordinary people doesn't treat their hair properly. But models do. And you look like a model being handsome and all..."
He smiled (Awww... so Cute...) and asked me,
"Are you model yourself?"
And my smile disappeared. Hiding my loss of interest I said,
"Nope, I'm just nobody"
He laughed loudly this time and said,
" What are you doing in Avalona, miss Nobody? "
What the........... Even though he's handsome he's a nutcase...
"Don't call me nobody you, cry baby...."
Just the second I said it I started regretting it. When I said that his eyes widened and before he could say anything I continued,
"I'll be a student of Avalon High from tomorrow onwards."
"Oh!!! So you are in the same school as me then from tomorrow, miss nobody"
As handsome he might be he's getting into my nerves,
"Oh! Shut up you cry baby."
Before he can tell anything I turned around and started walking faster. Of course, it's stupid to walk faster as he and I'll be in the same school and probably in the same dorm. But what a jerk he is. Ahhhhh but he's so CUTE. Most models are just like that after all. Making fun of people. A Nobody huh? How could he call me a nobody? .....
And.....WOW!
I stood in front of the Avalon High dorm gate after knocking it and I've to admit it's just so beautiful. All the colored bulbs are perfectly matched. It looks like I'm entering a palace.
Just then an old aged man came out holding a file. When he saw me he gestured me to come in and closed the gate behind. He waited until the gate closed fully and turned towards me and asked,
"You must be Rebecca?"
I nodded and he continued,
"You are lucky as you don't have to fill any forms as your mother Mrs. Stevens sent us all the necessary forms. And your room p......."
Maybe the old man just realized that I'm not listening to him because my attention was on something else. I saw Mr. Crybaby walking on top of the wall and then he jumped inside. So when the old man who must be the janitor saw him jumping inside he started yelling, not caring about my presence.
"Andrew you little...... How many times do I've to tell you to use the gate? Because of you I might actually lose my position."
Hmmm.... so the crybaby's actual name is Andrew huh.
"But Mr. Harrison the gate was closed and it's always closed when I come. It's not my problem that it's closed"
"That's why there's a something called a bell you, knucklehead"
For that comment Andrew laughed and his smile is so cute. Then the old man or rather Mr. Harrison turned towards me and said, pointing at Andrew who then saw me,
"Rebecca this is the dorm captain of your dorm, Andrew Wilson. And you'll have to stay with him until your room is finished repairing."
Since when he saw me, he kept staring at me and when the dorm janitor (the old man) said that we should stay together, his mouth dropped and he said the same time I told,
"Can't stay with this nobody"
"..... With this crybaby"
Mr. Harrison broke into a laugh and said,
"I'm glad as it looks like you two know each other. But there's no other choice unless Andrew you want to stay with Mackenzie"
Andrew's face darkened when he mentioned Mackenzie so I asked,
"Who's Mackenzie?"
Andrew gave me a mischievous grin and said,
"You know the blond cheerleader every school has?? Ours is Mackenzie"
"That's...... Andrew's stalker, I would say"
"No it's fine Rebecca can stay with me. No one wants to stay I the same room as their stalker right?"
With that he started walking towards the dorm.
"Poor guy. He's having so much troubles because of her."
"Oh!"
"I don't know how's that guy isn't exploding. You'll know about her nature in few days." Then he turned to face me and said,
" Now now don't just stand here. Go after him. Your luggages are already in his room. And welcome to Avalon High, Rebecca. Enjoy your high school life."
I nodded my head and without another word ran after Andrew. I walked behind him, not wanting to make the dorm leader angry. The dorm is so quiet and everyone must be asleep. While I was busy with my thoughts I didn't see that Andrew stopped. And I bumped into him. I quickly stepped back and he turned to face me and held his hand and said,
"Andrew Wilson, pleasure to meet you"
I was like what the heck... but without telling anything I shook his hand telling,
"Rebecca Stevens, pleasure to meet you too"
He gave me a quick smile and opened the door next to him. And one glimpse of his room made me want to vomit. He must be cute but he doesn't care to even clean his room. The other thing that caught my attention is his posters that are pasted all over the room. With or without a shirt.
He's really handsome for a model and I'll admit that despite his unclean room. He brushed his hair saying,
"Damn it. Just don't mind the room. It's not like I've time to clean it. Your bed is in the upper part and your luggages must be there too."
It took me only five stairs to reach my part, and there was a bed with pinkcolored bed sheets. But as a matter of fact everything is pink in this part. He must have been expecting a kid who loves pink, unlike a high schooler who hatespink, like me.
