Carlos's POV:

I woke up at 5:00 in the morning  started my usual workout with my trainer Stanley, he is with me since I don't even remember,

We are childhood pals this man knows all my secret rendezvous and troubles after them,

We live together in our bachelor pad my family lives in San Francisco, my dad, my mom and my big brother (Ricardo) he is a businessman like my father.

He visits me sometimes mom too but I haven't seen my father for 2 years because we had a fight, he wanted me to be like him a businessman and handle his branch in Washington,

I refused he placed a choice in front of me to choose his lifestyle or go where ever I want to.

I left, to tell you the truth, it was the best day of my life when I departed from my world this dumb ass tagged along with me to Miami and we worked our asses off to get where we are today,

I didn't take my mom's cash or Ricardo's, I did it all by myself not to mention with this dumb ass's help.

We finished our workout at 6:30 and I went for a shower as I came out, I hurriedly changed and went downstairs for the preparation of breakfast, setting the table to be exact.

The smell of fresh coffee and pancakes filled my nostrils and I felt hungry.

Stanley knows how to cook, this man is a master chef he taught me to cook almost everything. We usually make breakfast together but today he insisted on making breakfast all by himself as he was taking a day off from school, he needed to take care of some business.

We ate, we cleaned up then I left for school,

I tuned into my jams, my favorites.  "Bailando" was playing on the radio, the weather seemed fair today but when I switched on my required dose it became alot better.

I reached school in about 10 to 15 minutes as it quite near to my home. I was about to get out my car when my phone rang, it was Ricardo, I picked up and we started our conversation,

"Yeah",

"You have to come back home Carlos, father is really angry, he says he will give you nothing from his inheritance", his authoritative voice boomed right across my eardrum,

Bringing a wave of closed shut anger from within me, my hand landed on my temple gently circling away my bad mood that was about to come up way too early before its usual time.

This is the reason why I never answer his god damn calls in the morning.

"To hell with his inheritance Ricardo, I don't want a penny from his fucking inheritance, he can shove it in his...",

"Carlos don't forget he is your father", he interrupted me stoically.

My grip on the steering wheel tightened at his loyalty act to father but I know it was all fake and done for some purpose.

I glanced through my windshield and something bright caught my eye it was a red Beatle, who drives this thing nowadays,

My eyes scrunched automatically at the sight of it. I saw a girl in it couldn't clearly see her face then I was interrupted once again,

"Carlos are you listening?",

"I am getting late, talk to you later", I cut off the line immediately before he could say anything else in his favor and drive me to the cliff.

I could feel she was staring at my car from the side standing completely erect might be due to shock or wonder.

I got out before I could turn and see her face as some part of me said that she was not from our school.

I got a message from Vanessa read it half without a second thought deleted it, she was pissed, I ditched her last night at her party, I was tired plus I had a headache so I left.

I didn't even notice I was drowning in a pool of girls, it had been only two to three seconds since I left my car.

They never fail to find me. Sometimes it just pisses me off that I can't even have a single second of privacy in this God dammit school. 

My gaze caught Mason coming with a smirk on his face. Well, he should be the first one to welcome me but these witches beat him every single time.

We hugged one another. "How is your headache and how's your girlfriend?", he joked with his hand on my shoulder.

"It's fine, do you really think I would date a girl like Vanessa, who dresses like a slut every day of her freaking life", I growled as I pushed his hand off me.

"Chill man, what's up", Mason asked,  he was worried I could feel it.

"My dad wants me back as his pet dog, if I don't go he will banish me from his inheritance", I answered while pushing my hair back.

"I don't want his freaking money I told Ricardo and cut off the line after it". Mason was lost, he was calculating my information for a result. He stops in front of me and smirks,

"Then screw him and his company", I laughed and hugged this freak.

I saw Maddy talking to a girl she looked at me and waved, I waved back.

"So we won't be seeing Vanessa again at out table are we?", he asked curiously.

" I hope so, she is not going down that easily, I know it... She is a tough one", an unconscious groan escaped my throat.

Even my body hates her. I can't seem to remember how I ended up with her in the first place.

Whose good for nothing face had I saw that as a curse she was bestowed upon my shoulders, 

My phone rang, it was Stanley. Mason saw it and patted me on the back, "I will be with Maddy, come when you are done talking", he left.

Fifteen minutes later I went back to Mason as I entered the corridor I heard girls laughing and squealing at my sight.

I am used to it now, I saw Maddy coming and I hugged her she asked me where Stanley was, I told her he had some stuff to care of.

"Oh, cool I will talk to him later, oh yeah! I want you to meet my new friend Alyssa... She is so adorable, where is she, oh! there she is with Mason",

My eyes followed Maddy's gaze and caught our target, she was already staring back at me.

Maddy asked me to say hi to her new friend that is the thing with Maddy she does weird things like befriending people from out of nowhere so easily.

I sauntered towards her while observing her from head to toe, there was something about her that I couldn't pin down, she was different.

I couldn't remove my eyes off her something about her attracted me towards her, she resembled a small bird that was nervous and scared at the same time.

Maybe she was due to my constant attention over her actions as her shoe rubbed against the tile and her hands played with one another.

She greeted me and raised her hand for a handshake but I was mesmerized by her eyes, she had those flaming eyes.

Her body language will fool you but her eyes will warn you that don't fall for it or you might get burn.

She held the entire inferno in them. I took her hand in mine without releasing myself from her gaze, her eyes had caught me, I could literally feel her burning me gently through her palms.

She didn't mind responding with the same intensity as if she considered it some sort of a competition in which she had to win at all cost.

But I wouldn't mind losing to her, it would be a pleasant defeat.

I was still holding her hand and staring her eye to eye, I wanted to let go but couldn't.

What am I doing? I don't stare at girls like this.

I was lost in her gaze but I liked being in this state, I wanted to stay in that flaming circle forever even if it made me a victim of some trap.

I didn't want her gaze to shift from me or even blink then I was harshly pulled out of my thoughts by Maddy, I dropped her hand and pretended that I had a call to attend.

Mason followed me. "what was that?",  he smirked,

"What was what?", I focused on my mobile screen.

"That",

"What?",

"That",

"What?",

"Fine you win smart guy", he answered in defeat.

I smirked. "So are we going to that party we talked about?", he asked as he galloped in front of me like a child, I laughed.

"Of course we are", we entered our classroom, I saw her sitting beside Maddy,

Mason sat after Maddy and I sat after Alyssa, I couldn't take my eyes off her although her back was facing me even from this angel she seemed  admirable,

She had these amazing glimmering golden locks slightly let loose as waves over a sea, how did she do that the color of her hair perfectly matched with her eyes.

My mind played a small clip of her lips talking about something, I couldn't understand what she was saying but it made me want to kiss them softly,

Wait! What am I thinking, I shuffled in my chair to sit properly, I never want anything, all is given to me without even trying like it was created just for me.

I heard her laugh softly at Maddy's joke, how would she react on my jokes, I mean, I don't joke much but for her, I can try a one or two.

Why do I care if she even laughs with me or not she doesn't even seem interested in me.

My eyes landed on her back as I slightly gritted my teeth in anger, does she even know who I am, girls beg me for attention and here she is completely unaffected by my charm.

That is not even possibly maybe she has someone, " You okay man?", I caught Mason giving me a look then his eyes shifted to my hand that was clenched into a fist showcasing the fury that resided in my veins.

I composed myself and nodded. He went back to check his mobile. Oh boy! Carlos it's going to be a long day my friend.

But still the thought of her having a boyfriend angered me, why did I care?

Which made me furious even more, why was I reacting in such a manner? She can do what she likes.

The bell rang. Never been so grateful for this sound in my life finally God cut me some slack.

I was going crazy at just the thought of her what if she actually enters my life what will happen then.
