VICTORIA'S POV
The next day at university.
Today I decided to wear an oversized hoodie that's covering more than half of my face to save my ass
I know what I did yesterday was a little bit exaggerated. I an Daniel and his friends were so good to these past days, even helping get over my sadness unknowingly and in return I insulted the main mber of their group, that they respected soo much, practically insulting them.
Entering the University gate, the first thing that I noticed, was them standing in the parking lot, beside a red Bugatti.
Pulling my hoodie down a bit, so that my face is covered properly I dashed towards the entrance of the university, with my eyes constantly on the group to make a sharp escape, however, my oh so genius plan as always, didn't work and before I could even take 10 steps, my hoodie was pulled back by soone.
"Geez! Look at you Victoria. What are you doing being so secretive and all that?" Chris asked before dragging towards the group while still holding onto my hoodie.
'Well, you can let go of now, you know?' I wanted to scream at him.
Though I was more than 5'10" in front of him, I still looked short and with him holding onto my hoodie like that, it appeared like an elder scolding a child while dragging him.
"Look what we have here," Chris announced to get everyone's attention.
And soon, I was able to achieve everyone's attention. I was feeling soo happy. Not.
Snapping at Chris's hands, I loosened my hoodie from his grip before standing straight.
I should say sorry anyway. I indeed made a mistake yesterday.
"Look, guys, about yesterday-" Before I could complete my sentence I slled an intoxicating scent coming from behind and my mind started screaming at to turn behind imdiately, which I did.
"Hey, um, Victoria. Can we talk? Alone?" Alexander said awkwardly scratching his head, before giving a boyish smile.
And let be honest, my heart instantly lted then and there.
"Ooohhhhhh." Everyone started teasing him at his awkwardness.
"Sure," I said, placing my hands in my pockets before walking out of the parking lot once, I made sure Alexander was following .
Once, we were at enough distance( according to Alexander), which was at the backside of University near the forest, I turned to him, with my eyebrows raised.
"So?" I asked, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Well, this was awkward. He indeed was a bit rude to , but I think I yelled at him 10 folds of what he said to , calling him a psychopath.
"Umm, I don't know what to say. I just want to apologize to you about yesterday night, at the party, I an. I know we didn't start good, but I am just hoping that you can forget all of that, maybe we can start afresh?" He said coming close to while holding my hands.
That intoxicating scent that had attracted, wafted through my nostrils, imdiately making hazy. I looked at our joined hands, and couldn't help but like the feeling of his hands intertwined with mine.
Inching closer to him, I was about to sll him when I heard the sound of a twig breaking and all my senses ca back to hitting like a cold wind.
Widening my eyes, at this new sensation and our proximity, I pulled away my hands before making so distance between us. I don't know what it was, but touching him, always makes want more.
And what is with this sll, that I keep attracting .
"I wanted to say sorry too. I an you were indeed rude to , no doubt, but what I said was also unforgivable. I an, I called you a psychopath, that you should see a doctor, that sothing-"
"Okay. You can stop. We don't want to rember those things again, now do we?" He laughed awkwardly.
"Yeah, you are probably right." I laughed along when I realised I was about to insult him again by repeating those words.
"So friends?" He asked extending his hand, with that handso smile on his face.
"Friends., I assured smiling back at him while controlling my mind to not waiver when I felt those pleasurable shocks again.
"Let's go, I don't want to miss my lecture, I said before pulling away my hand and rushing towards the front.
"Hey, be careful!" I heard him speak, but before I could react, my foot entangled in an uplifted root of the tree and guys this is how you make a fool out of yourself, I thought before placing the hands in front of the face, to block the impact on my face, but that impact never ca.
I opened my eyes when I felt myself being lifted in the air and the warmth of being close to soone.
I looked at Alexander in shock, my mind going blank with my body planted closely to his. I know it wasn't right, but at that ti my mind was screaming at to inhale into his shirt and that's exactly what I did.
I know I was turning into a true creep.
"What are you doing?" He asked confused, looking like a cute puppy.
"Will you believe , if I say that I was relieved you held at the right mont, and that's why I placed my head in your chest, in relief?" I asked.
"I would." He replied.
"Well, that's exactly what happened., I said clicking my tongue, too embarrassed to even look in his eyes.
Removing his hands from around , I stood straight before thanking him and started running again, this ti more careful, with my mind under control and my eyes on the path ahead.
I could vaguely hear his laughter ringing in my ears as I made the narrow escape.

"So Alexander just apologized to you? And nothing else?" Daniel asked once the lecture ended, and he got the chance to sit beside .
"I have been saying the sa thing from the last 5 minutes, I guess," I said looking at my book.
"Yeah, but my mind doesn't want to believe it?" He said pensively.
"What is so hard to believe? He made a mistake, he said sorry. I made a mistake, I said sorry and then we both forgave each other and beca friends. Were you expecting a catfight You do understand that if that would've happened, then you wouldn't be sitting here, more like outside the I.C.U with inside the ward right?" I asked closing my book.
"Well, that. But it's just strange because Alex never says sorry to anyone." Daniel said before going out of the seminar room, leaving in a confused state.
'What does he an he never says sorry? And if that's right then why did he make an exception with when it was who insulted him more?' I thought, packing my bag mindlessly.
'Maybe it's because I am new in the town.' I reasoned with myself before making my way towards the canteen.
Reaching the canteen, the first thing I noticed was the grand presence of Alexander on our usual table. And I say grand because, he was surrounded by soo many girls because of his looks that, it wasn't hard to know who was in the middle.
Minding my own business, I went straight towards the lady and ordered my things before taking the tray outside in the garden beside the canteen.
Sitting under the tree, I plunged in my earphones and started eating my pasta peacefully, while sipping my chocolate milkshake.
Once my favourite song started playing I kept my pasta aside before sipping on my milkshake while moving my foot to the beats, waving my body slightly at the music.
"It looks like, it is more enjoyable here than inside." I heard Alexander say as he sat beside .
"Mmm, I like calm and serine places more," I said shrugging my shoulders.
I was about to sip on my chocolate shake when he snatched the shake from my hand and started drinking from it.
"Hey! That's mine." I shouted.
"But I drank it." He said casually shrugging his shoulders as if there was nothing wrong with it while tossing the glass inside the bin, making a perfect shot.
"Well, Mr now we got bad blood. Take a look at what you've done, and it can't be solved just by talking. Buy a new one." I said firmly.
"You serious? We are having bad blood just because of a milkshake now?" He asked in a perplexed tone.
"I love it more than anything, "I said crossing my hands.
"Huh...okay. wait for here. I'll go and buy you one quickly." He said before running towards the canteen.
"Hehe... ssing with . Now he has to buy a new one. It was going to end anyway, now I can drink more. Hehehe." I laughed evilly at my cunningness.
