It was not a very long drive. We both have our schedules. 

Katherine's major was fashion designing. Because of this, She had such an amazing sense of dressing you can say.

"How many classes do you have today?" She questioned. 

"Umm three. And you?" 

"Also three," she acknowledged with a grin. 

"I'll meet you later," she said and kissed on my cheek and left, I smile and start to move toward my classroom. 

⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑

Omg, I don't know why but am so nervous. 

Like man seriously who wouldn't be nervous on the first day of college. 

Everybody is looking towards me and I don't know why. 

Am I having something on my face or what?

Everyone is looking at me like I'm an alien or something. Seriously?

As I am walking towards the locker room. My gaze falls on a boy having a smirk on his lips with baby blue eyes staring right at me.

He is wearing a blue shirt with black jeans. He has ruddy skin and messy brown hair. Perfect jawline. He is tall and overall handsome but no.

I always wanted a guy who would love me more than anything. And he can't be the one. Because of the way he is surrounded by a bunch of girls. I don't think he can be.

The same boy walks toward me still smirking.

"Hey Beautiful," he said with a cheeky smile.

"Hey," I said shyly without knowing how to respond. Still walking. 

"Freshman year?" He questioned. Walking along with me towards the locker room.

I nodded "you?"

"Same," he says again smirking.

At least I'll be having someone to talk to.

"Great" I said with a smile

He just gave me a smile in return 

I tried to find my locker.

298..299..300..

There it is 301. I unlocked it and start keeping my stuff there and I suddenly realize that the same guy is still staring at me and isn't smiling anymore. Have a strange expression on his face.

"What's your name?" He asked seriously with a lot of concern in his voice.

"Hope Wilson," I said with a smile.

"Hayden Salvator," he said bringing his hand towards me.

I shake his hand and I give him a genuine smile.

"Nice to meet you, Hope," he said with a grin.

"Same here Hayden," I said. While walking towards the classroom. 

⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑

We both have a biology class. We entered the classroom and as expected, all the gazes fall on me.

And guess what...I don't care anymore because I am used to this. 

It is now common for me, being a center of attention...All the time.

All of the stares get interrupted by our professor.

"Hey Everyone, M glad to have you guys here today. I'm Emma Winters, your Biology teacher as well as your homeroom teacher."

I and Hayden grab our seats. And try to focus. She had golden hair tied in a bun. We were late in the class so we had a seat at back. Hayden took a seat beside me. 

So I can't recognize her eye color. She is wearing a fawn pencil skirt along with a blacktop. She is at her middle age I guess. 

"I want to have informed you guys that every freshman year, students go camping for a night. So that you all can start this journey with lots of beautiful memories."

"And this can be an opportunity for you people to know each other." She said with a smile. 

As soon as those words escape from her mouth. happiness glowed inside me. 

"It will be tomorrow till the day after tomorrow. So students are prepared." She adds and began to talk about biology and stuff. But happiness streaking through me like a comet

"So we'll be able to know each other more sweetheart, right?" Hayden said suddenly out of nowhere. 

"Why do you want to know me?" I ask trying not to sound harsh. 

"I just don't know but I want to know you" he declared openly. 

"I'm not sure if I am going or not" I announced.

"And why is that so?" 

I didn't want to give him any wrong idea, I just answered, "I don't know if my best friend is coming"

Don't get me wrong, he is handsome but this is how I am. I don't get comfortable around people I have just met. 

"Oh means you have a best friend too means we can have even more fun," he says winking. 

I frowned and don't know why but this statement pissed me off. 

"Are you always this flirty or today is the special day?" I said a bit harshly 

He chuckled and said in a low voice "No sweetheart, I don't have a great fortune to have a beautiful opportunity to meet with such a beauty every day" 

I am surprised by his straightforwardness. 

Before I could say something bell rings. I grab my books and start walking out of the classroom. Hayden is still behind me.

"Hey Don't get me wrong, I just want to be your friend" he said anxiously 

"I don't know how but you are different" he added.

"Really? How can you say that m different?" I ask with a smirk. Turning my gaze towards him. Getting the point that he is trying flirting with me. 

"I don't know but you are". He mumbled, as he massaged the back of his neck

I decide to ignore his attempt to flirt. And tried to change the subject. 

"Your next class?" I questioned him.

"I don't want to go to class. What about we go for coffee?" He said raising his one eyebrow and grinning like an idiot.

"You can go ahead m not interested I would rather take my other classes," I said playfully. 

He stopped walking and stare at me, without having any expression on his face. I start to walk ignoring him.

Suddenly he holds my hand and pulls me to him, he grabs me from my shoulders and pulls me close enough that I could smell his aftershave. My eyes fell on his lips. I can feel his breath. I don't know why but for some reason, I feel weird and don't feel good at all. 

"No girl in my entire fucking life rejected me but You Hope."
