...At 6:00 am...

"Baby, how are you feeling now?", mom asked, a concern seen in her eyes... Eyes which are like detective.

"I am better than yesterday, mom."

"Okay...", caressing your head.

When you were getting up from bed, your mother held your hand.

"Where are you going dear?" Your mom asked.

"To get ready for the class."

"Huh?? Why?? you should rest dear, you can take one day off."

"No mom, you only think, how it would sound to be absent on the second day of your university... It's been hardly one day and I am taking holidays. What would the Professor think of me"
You tried to reason.

"Sir would understand, he won't eat you."

"Mom ..."

After a few minutes of questioning and convincing... your mother finally gives in.

"🥺🥺"

"Don't show me that puppy eyes ..."

"🥺🥺"

"....Fine ... But If you feel any discomfort, call me ..."

"Sure Mumma..."

Both of you hugged ...

...

Wearing a full sleeve black turtle neck top and brown pants, then after having breakfast and medicine, you made your way.

...At University...

"Good Morning Y/N."

"Good Morning Emily."

-----Author's pov-----

Emily turned towards you to hug you but you took a step backward.
Gaining a slight change of experience on her face, while you tried to reason,
"Umm don't! I am hijacked by the cold."

"I thought you were allergic to skinship, but fancy words huh!!"
She said to which we just chuckle...

"How and when like yesterday you were fit and fine. "
Sighing and nodding you explained to her the scene.

"Ohh... don't worry your wbc will free your body from the hijack... "she said smiling, to boost your mood.
Returning back the smile you nod while saying ---

"Ye .... Aachhuuu...Umm sorry ..."

(A/N: in case, wbc-white blood cells)

And you both giggled.

----End of Author's pov----

The day didn't go that well, it was full of a few small fights for closing and opening the window and embarrassing moments... like one in the library.

It was dead complete silence only a few turning of pages would be heard. I maintained myself for longgg... annnndd....

"Aaaaaccchhhuuuu..."

It seemed like silence was cut with the knife, all eyes were on me, redness filled my face. I couldn't look up taking my handkerchief out and wiping it off. I excused myself and ran towards the exit... sigh...

Another was in the canteen area, which I don't wanna talk about but I just spilled the food ...,

It must have been the worst but Thanks to Emily she stood by me to help me out clearing the mess.

I guess it would have been better to take the day off, because the cold got worse because of those stupid students who didn't want to close the window and switch off the fan, who keeps it on in such cold monsoon weather. I know it was all just to enrage me!

That's why you should always listen to your mother.

.....After 3 days .....

"Finally my wbc won ... I am free from the cold."

It was a good idea to take a 1 day break following weekends.
Literally catching a cold is not a good one, wearing and eating warm things, for a few minutes you would feel like shivering while other times when you all warm up you'll feel hot, just a confusing cold jerk.

Furthermore to add the misery having a running nose, that would run like 24/7 with no rest, turning all red ... Oof!!!

....After a week...

It was the weekend, you and Emily were sitting in the Chocolate cafe, enjoying Cappuccino.

"Y/Nahh I know it's out of the box, but being your friend I should know about you so...

I heard about your family, school life but never about love life, so ... don't you have crushes or a boyfriend??"
Emily asked while looking at you with keen eyes.

You chuckled at her intense gaze.

"..umm... not exactly a boyfriend but yeah one crush."

"Huh !!! Just one crush ???", she asked

"...um yes", you said while nodding

"So ...who was he", wiggling her eyebrows.

"Let's first talk about yours... You might have a dozen ones, since you have those charms", now wiggling your eyebrows
...blushing she gestured to me ....
"Annio... I might have crushes on many and a boyfriend but it wasn't any serious"

"Ohh ?? Story time..."

"After that you'll speak."

"Deal!!"

Sipping the Cappuccino and giggling a little she started

"...ummm...so...
there was this newly transferred boy in our mid high school ... and our teacher asked me to help him out.

I was like that typical sincere and innocent girl while he looked like a naughty boy, but while spending time with him I must say he was a good being until...

"Untill??", Curiosity speaking me out.

"Wait!!! impatient girl."

Soon we started spending more time besides school work, and one day he asked me out, like in the most romantic way, it was way more than I could ever imagine, like seriously.
I didn't expect him to be this much forward with it.

I was feeling butterflies all around me, and I said yes to be his girlfriend. We kissed, danced, clicked photos and all things that a couple would do. I really thought he was becoming my first love until.

the day when I caught him kissing a girl at the corner of the street, it was dark, just a light coming out from the shop.

The girl slid her hands to hold his waist while he did the same. Both were so engrossed in each other's embrace.

Tears, starting to blur my vision. I was not sure that it was him, I judged him by his attire, but I wanted to make sure by myself to ease my mind.

I walked towards them while just praying "This is not him. Please be another guy."
My steps halted when the girl walked out from there after giving him a peck. Soon two more boys came into the picture, they started talking about something.

Coming slowly and carefully near them, I heard a loud chuckle voice.

And it was now known ...

It was him ...

curiosity filled me and I hid to eavesdrop on them.

"Dude when are you giving me the money for completion of my bet." He spoke

"I thought that a sincere good girl, the teacher's innocent girl won't fall for you and do these things. But man you have got something huh!!"

"Guess what I made her fall for me and did what you said... as per our bet I did it!!
I am made to win the best" winking at them and he exits.

I felt like the ground slipped from my foot, tears dared not to fall continuously to ease the pain and now I was a mess sobbing..., how could he fake something so pure for a bet,
How could he????

I felt my world crashing, it was my first heartbreak. But soon it was a blessing that my father got transferred here and I never ever spoke to him after that and I guess I have never said yes to a boyfriend after that I didn't have the courage for it.
Only a few mere secret crushes"

Listening to her sad story, a tear escaped my eye.

"What a jerk !!"

"Yeah complete stupid jerk."

"He was never meant for you."

"Hmm ..."

There was a long silence ...

"Chill buddy your soulmate must be waiting and he was jealous for you that's why he didn't allow you to be in this relationship." I said in hope to lighten the mood

She smiled "..aah ..Y/N !" After a short silence she continued "Ohk, now your turn."

"Mine ... umm it's nothing compared to yours."

"We made a deal. "

"Okay girl... so...
I was in 7th grade when I had a crush on this boy. He was smart, good at athletics, and all girls' crush centers. He was like a package of all qualities.

I couldn't help but fall for his charms.
We didn't talk much only a few regarding studies and school matters.
Because of him I almost changed myself to be good in every aspect, hoping that I might catch his eyes.

It was going great, and then we had to part ways as stream selection came, but I was shocked, that we chose the same stream.

That 2 years being in the same stream we would talk a lot and spend a lot of time until he got a scholarship and transferred.

I must admit though we didn't share mutual feelings but I am happy that I changed myself because of that I am here. I needed to renovate myself for myself and I am satisfied I did though for a mere different reason.

This silent admiration went on till 6 yea...

"WHAT!!! ..." Emily exclaimed with shock.. while interrupting
"6 years!! crush on somebody with no telling to that person how you felt for him or any advancement in the bond... Are you kidding me..."

"Umm ... he had a girlfriend... and I knew I would never get a chance to be in his life. He is a complete perfect example of perfect. Who would date a girl like me who has no charms and introverts.

*In y/n s mind* : and always anxious and frightened. If she knew the trauma I was in."

"Are u serious! dude you have charms in your own way. Never think like that, and about introverts I think you are not, you are just open to the right people."

"Thanks for encouraging me."

"But why didn't you move on, like didn't you get bored crushing on somebody knowing that he's taken ?"

"Umm... Emily I don't know if you could feel me but I believe that if you love a person truly then even if you know he will never be yours, you are happy for his happiness.
And you might think of me as a hopeless romantic but I don't give in easily but when I, I fall too deep into the ocean of love and that sometimes scares me in truth."

"I feel you, Y/N. I know this..."

Again sipping our Cappuccino...

.........

..After a few days .....At University..

"Y/N, can you go to the Art room and bring the required materials?"
Handing me the list.

"Sure Sir."

"Till then everybody takes out pg. no. 50 and goes through the activity which we'll do now."

....

------Y/N Pov-----

Though I have spent more than a week here, I still couldn't locate the art room. How funny, isn't it ?

Wondering here and there and asking a few of them I finally reached the destination. It was on the top floor at the corner, no wonder why I couldn't locate it .

Wasting no time, I entered, there was darkness and the heavy rain pouring outside didn't help much. Firstly, I was a little afraid since I have a fear from darkness. There was only a ray of light from the door. After searching for a few minutes I found the switch.

Now it's much better. I started collecting the listed materials.
As I was doing so, the light started flickering, at the start I got startled, but with a little much light, I took the 2 way ladder and climbed on it to fix the light.

-----End of Y/N Pov------

-----Pov ??-----

Don't judge me but what can I do, The history lecture is so boring and the dull weather added more boredom to it, so I bunked the class. hehe...

I was walking through the corridors on the top floor as it's a desolate place compared to others, while humming a song

•••••💜•••••

(A/N: For better experience you can listen this song using headphones 🤭😉)

•••••💜•••••

"Your every picture... 🖼️
I wanna have under my pillow, oh, oh bae .... 🛏️
Come be my teacher.... 👩‍🏫
Teach me everything about you...
Your one, your two.... 1️⃣2️⃣
Listen my... my baby I'm flying high up in the sky.... ☁️
(With the two wings that you gave me back then) 🪽
Now it's so high up here.... 🕺
I want you tuned into my eyes... 👀
Yeah, you makin' me a boy with lu.." ❤️

While passing the store room, my steps halted as I noticed a girl standing on the ladder, from the mirror, wearing a black turtle neck with brown pants and a bracelet with cute charms, I guess she's a student by her attire.

She was trying to fix the light.

Peeking into the room, I couldn't properly notice her face since her back was facing me but through that flickering of light I could see a glimpse of her face on the mirror one by one. Her hair was like midnight black which flowed over her shoulders ,her flicks covering her side are of forehead, her beautiful eyes were twinkling in the flickering light which had the power to attract anyone like it did to me. Her pointed nose and her parted peach colour lips with slightly sticking out her tongue, she was so engaged in her work that she didn't notice me staring at her smiling to myself I continued watching her.

Finally the light was fixed and got stable.

But before I could see her full face there I was interrupted by my best friend, none other Jimin calling my name, always entering at the wrong time ...huh!...

I ran towards the voice.

"What the hell Jimin! Why are you calling me?"

"The professor found out that you are bunking the class and now he himself is searching for you to take you to the Principal"

"Ohh shit!! I thought he wouldn't notice it ..What reason should I tell now, if I don't have a proper reason I might get punished... I didn't think he would get to know."

"Actually he wouldn't but it's all because of your quite obsessive or should I say sweet enemy of yours... Nana"

As we both were engaged in our thoughts of what to do, there we heard the sort of falling of things.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking..." they said and nodded in unison, laughing when they followed the sound.

Reaching the sight I saw the same girl from the store room who was clearing the mess.

I see I guess it is our fate to meet you today girl (while smirking 😏) not thinking much, Jimin and I started helping her out.

-----Pov Y/N-----

As I was clearing the mess when I noticed two boys running towards me, I guess they were the ones who always bunk the class and I have heard so many rumors about them, they started helping me out, engaged in picking I thanked them.

At that moment I thought that they were not that bad guy type since they were helping me out but guess what I was wrong.

-----Pov ??-----

Thank you she said smiling while facing towards me that moment I saw her pretty face, her deep brown chocolaty eyes, her velvety eyelashes , wet peach colored lips. I smiled at her while saying, "Anytime!" She smiled back...her smile looked so cute. Aww my poor heartu...

While helping and taking a glimpse of her. I heard the Professor, calling out Jimin, he stood up and started explaining to him without wasting any time.

"Sir he was helping this girl that's why he was not in class... and now we are helping her."

*In mind*.. Woohaa... what a timing Professor... I love you.

He nodded understanding the situation.

"Okay !!!, it's good to help others but you must be on time in class."

"Yes Sir and I'm Sorry Sir."

"Forgiven but next time I won't. Come into the class after helping her out"

"Yes Sir."

They hugged each other, while laughing.

"Our plan worked out... yayy!!"

-----Pov Y/N-----

Woohaa... What plan huh??

...After a couple of seconds....

Now I understand their true intention behind helping me. No doubt they are good liars.

Taehyung and Jimin... right?
