Daisy was reading the poem very attentively but suddenly a knock on the door, followed by a croaked familiar voice interrupted her reading. Daisy looked at the door and found a tall muscular boy, standing there. She instantly recognized the boy in front of her. His black silky hair, purple eyes, sharp jaw line and thin lips were exactly similiar to Nicolas' display picture of gaming profile. But he was looking extremely handsome in his broad shoulder, relatively narrow waist, V-shaped torso and chiseled muscular body. He was looking like a Greek-God. Daisy imagined him as a handsome boy but he was far more handsome than her imagination. Instinctively, her lips curled up in a small smile. She could realise that both of them were staring at each other but she came back to reality when Nicolas cleared his throat and looking away from her, started his announcement.
When Nicolas left the classroom with his teammates, Daisy was still dizzy. It was like a dream for her and she immediately wanted to tell her squad ( Kratos- Nicolas, Aquaman-Jason and Assaisiner -Alex.) that she was Minerva but she couldn't as she was in the middle of the class.
Mrs. Smith ordered, " Daisy Miller, Start your reading please." Daisy started the poem again, pushing all her excitement away. Daisy was reading the poem melodically. When she was reading the second last line, she was interrupted again by another knock in the door. Daisy looked up and saw another group of boys, standing outside their class.
They also asked Mrs. Smith's permission for coming inside but that time Mrs. Smith replied them, "Wait outside. Let her finish the poem first." Daisy finished her reading within few minutes and sat down.
Then only Mrs. Smith signed the group of the boys to come inside . Daisy saw a tall boy (though he was not as tall as Nicolas) entered with his group and he was also extremely handsome and had a strong physique. His blonde hair and sky blue eyes were perfect combination together. His handsome face had an icy cold expression and devilish smile where Nicolas had a charming smile and pure innocent look. They were both opposite to each other but were extremely handsome in their own way.
The boy came forward and announced the same thing like Nicolas but only exceptional was that he was the leader of White house. Daisy noticed that the sky blue eyes of that boy paused on her quite longer as if he was scanning her and trying to read her mind then the group left.
Daisy whispered near Helen's ear, "Who is the leader of the White House?"
Helen replied in a low voice, "This is Lucas Parker, captain of White House and Vice-Captain of college's football team."
Daisy whispered again, " Then who is the Captain?" Helen with a shy smile, replied, "Nicolas Walker. Haven't you seen the leader of Blue house? Isn't he hot??"
Daisy replied instantly with a smirk, "Umm hmm. Very hot."
Both of them giggled out like children. After class, Helen accompanied Daisy to college canteen. Helen was babbling about many interesting things of college. But most of the time she was busy in praising about her two crushes- Nicolas and Lucas.
Helen exclaimed, "I wish I can date of one of them. Have you noticed their biceps?? And those abs when they put off their shirts! Every girl cannot help themselves but drooling over them."
Daisy was not interested on Lucas that much but she was enjoying the gossips about Nicolas. She asked Helen curiously, "Is Nicolas single?" Helen chuckled loudly and replied, "You are really silly, Daisy. How a boy like Nicolas can be single? He has numerous girlfriends and affairs, but Ruth is his childhood sweetheart. They are together from kindergarten. But Lucas is opposite of him. He always seems very cold towards girls."
Helen continued her babbling but her words about Nicolas hit Daisy's heart directly. Daisy knew that Nicolas was just a friend, nothing more than that but she never imagined those simple words about Nicolas would affect her like that and would ignite a fire of jealousy inside her. She decided to meet Nicolas after class in auditorium but after hearing those words, she silently sat with Helen in canteen, leaving the thought of meeting Nicolas behind. She thought that revealing her true identity was totally useless at that moment and an unknown disappointment engulfed her heart.
Helen introduced with some of her friends. "This is Joey," Helen introduced, indicating a tan girl with her beautiful phoenix eyes. "And I am Blake," interrupted, a boy with grey eyes and sat next to me, without asking anything.
Blake continued while running his fingers through his dirty blonde hair, "You are the new girl of Medical department. Right?" "Yes, I am Daisy Miller," Daisy replied with a small smile in my lips. They chatted for few more minutes then they headed to the next class. It was their biology class. After class Daisy and Helen were talking casually, standing in the corridor. That corridor was the common path of auditorium also.
Suddenly Daisy realized that a pair of bright sparkling eyes were following her every move. She turned around and saw that Lucas was standing nearby staring at her. His eyes were ablaze and more scorching like the sun that Daisy felt little uncomfortable. Lucas was surrounded by a group of boys. They were all chatting happily, but he was silently noticing Daisy. He held a cigarette in his hand, from which he took a long and deep puff. With a devilish smirk on his lips, he started walking towards Daisy, taking small steps. Daisy was aware of his dominating presence but she ignored his presence and without sparing a single glance, she continued her conversation with Helen.
"Hi, I am Lucas Parker. Aren't you the girl who was reading the poem?" asked Lucas in a croaked husky voice.
Lucas was scanning every little detail of Daisy's face, very curiously. According to him, Daisy's beauty was rare and pure. The moment he had seen Daisy, he couldn't able to forget her beautiful face.
Daisy replied shyly, looking at him, "Yes. I am Daisy Miller." "Daisy," murmured Lucas in a low voice. After taking a long puff from his cigarette, he replied, "Daisy, you have a very sweet voice."
Then, after a little pause, he spoke again with hesitation, "I mean, you were reading the poem beautifully. Good. I am your senior so never hesitate to contact me, if you need anything. I will-" Before he could finish a boy called out, "Lucas, come fast. Coach is calling you." Lucas nodded his head in his direction.
Then looking at Daisy, he replied with a shy smile, "Hope to see you again," Daisy replied in short, "Sure." Then he started walking towards the direction of that boy.
It was the first time Lucas felt shy while talking with a girl. His heart was pounding wildly. Lucas himself couldn't understand why he was reacting like that in front of Daisy.
Daisy stood there, dumbfounded.
Lucas's strange yet friendly behaviour was very unexpected for Daisy. Helen murmured near Daisy's ear, "What was it? Oh my God, I cannot believe the cold, angry Lucas came to introduce himself to you. I am sure it is love at first sight. He has even given you a compliment. You are so lucky, Daisy."Rolling her eyes, Daisy replied, "Shut up, Helen. I don't think that. May be, it was just a friendly gesture. Ignore it." Helen went on babbling and Daisy ignored every word of Helen silently. Though Daisy herself was stunned about that matter but she was not ready to believe Helen's words also.At that moment, Daisy saw a familiar figure coming towards her direction in a black shirt and faded blue jeans. It was none other than Nicolas He was casually talking with the other boys of his group. But, Nicolas's charming aura was reflecting brightly, differentiating him from others. He was shinning like a bright diamond among the crowd. Daisy's eyes were fixe
Lucas used to normally avoid girls and he didn't believe in love as when he was only five years old, his parents seperated and from that day he was seeking for love and a companion but at the end, he only became the third wheel for both of his parents' new families. Though he was a rich kid and his father always gave him a luxurious life but he was an eyesore for her step mother. So his cold icy attitude towards love was very reasonable as his mother never tried to contact him, after leaving his father. But, when he first saw Daisy , he couldn't stick to that same idea anymore. Daisy was so pure and innocent that he fell in love with her.On the other side, Daisy was too tired to awake anymore. It was a long tiring day, so the moment her head touched the pillow, she fell in deep sleep. She had no energy left to log in to her gaming account. But for Nicolas, he spent rest of the night sleepless, waiting for Minerva as he wanted to ask her lots of questions. His all waiting went
Ugh! I cannot believe, you are Minerva. You know what yesterday when I heard your voice for the first time, instantly I recognized you. I was just waiting for perfect time. So, do you like my college? Why don't we go to grab a coffee together? I want to tell you so many things, Daisy" Nick blurted out, excitedly as if he was just waiting for that 'sorry' from Daisy.Placing his strong arms on Daisy's shoulder casually, Nick started chatting like he met with his old friend. Daisy was little shy, but before she could reply anything, Jason interrupted them, "Nick, we have to go to ground practice now. Have you forgotten?"" Oh yes. I have totally forgotten about that. Daisy, why don't you join us tonight? We have a party tonight in Jason's house," exclaimed Nicolas in anticipation."But, I don't think it is a good idea. Firstly, I don't know where Jason lives and secondly, I don't know anyone here," mumbled Daisy, nervously.Al
"Lucas! What the hell. You have scared me," Daisy mumbled in a taut tone.Lucas chuckled softly, still wrapping his arm around Daisy's shoulder, he replied, "Sorry, I was just trying to scare you a little. I didn't know the great sniper girl will behave like a little kitten."Rolling her eyes, Daisy replied teasingly, "Huh! Are you trying to get your revenge by giving me a heart attack?? Come on Lucas, it was just a game. Don't hold any grudge against me."Daisy looked at Lucas with her innocent puppy eyes and pouting her lips, she gave a cute girl expression. Daisy's innocence and childish attitude didn't irritate icy cold Lucas. Instead his heart started pounding wildly, seeing her alluring pouty lips and he felt a tinge of warmth in his heart.He smiled and replied with a mischievous tone, "How can I hold a grudge on such a pretty lady? I can die for you in every match, Daisy."Daisy, biting her lower lip, replied, "Shut
Daisy started feeling the hot breath of Nicolas against her soft delicate cheeks. Daisy was trying to look away but it seemed like impossible to her. Nicolas' lips were only an inch away from Daisy's when suddenly the song ended and all started whistling and shouting for Nicolas. Daisy immediately stepped back, pushing Nicolas little away. She started extremely awkward when she realized that everybody was actually watching their dance. She was a shy girl, that sudden unexpected attention scared her badly.Nicolas murmured, near Daisy's ear, while dragging her to the bar counter, "It's alright, little girl. Why are you so nervous? It is just a dance." Daisy only nodded her head in response.After a little pause, Nicolas continued, "You are amazing dancer, I have to say. I just love it." "Thanks Nick. The feeling is quite mutual," Daisy replied slyly, without looking at him.Nicolas declared in his croaked voice, "Don't worry partner. W
Helen ran behind Daisy but when she reached to her, she saw Daisy already gulped down two glasses of tequila. Helen was struck by the crowd on the dance floor so she couldn't follow Daisy instantly. Helen asked Daisy with concern, "Dear, slow down. You will not be able to tolerate this much. What has happened Daisy?"Daisy replied with a wobbly tone, " Ugh! nothing. I feel like I should try alcohol today." Helen was stunned, seeing such an attitude of Daisy. Daisy on one hand herself didn't know why she was behaving like that. She was feeling betrayed, disappointed and heartbroken, seeing Nick hugging another girl, on the other hand, she was trying to understand why she was feeling so sad when Nick was just a friend of her. The warm liquid burnt her throat but it affected her mind more brutally as the feeling of disappointment and betrayal started increasing, suppressing her logical side. Without noticing, she already gulped down three more glasses.Helen ask
Gritting his teeth angrily, Lucas murmured, "When has she given you the permission to talk on behalf of her? Or are you targeting Daisy too? A playboy like you is judging me??"Nicolas immediately yelled, "Shut up, Lucas. Don't talk rubbish. You don't know anything about us. How dare u blame me?"Nicolas furiously started taking small steps towards Lucas. Lucas also did the same and replied, "Nick, better you step back. She has invited me to herself. Mind your own business and don't interrupt us."Nicolas demanded while tightening his grip around Daisy's wrist, "You are in such a pathetic condition that now you are trying to take advantage of a drunk girl!" Then after a little pause, he continued, "No I will not step back without her. Leave her hand, Lucas. I think it is already late and she should return." Lucas replied, without freeing Daisy's hand, "You are right. She must return to her house now. But I am the one who is going to dri
Next morning when Daisy opened her eyes, she could feel a strong headache and her head was feeling extremely heavy. Her head was still spinning and she was still sleepy. She looked at the clock, it was showing 10:25 pm already.She was about to leave her bed to freshen her up when Rhea opened the door suddenly without even knocking and entered with a glass of juice. Daisy was feeling guilty. she was thinking that she had misused her freedom yesterday night. Though she couldn't remember the whole matter at all, she knew very well that she created a lot of mess after drinking.She was trying to apologise so she looked at her mom with her puppy eyes and about to speak when her mom handed her the juice and replied in her usual polite tone, "Drink it, sweetie. It is great for getting relief from a hangover." Then gently caressing, the back of her head, she continued, "It's alright. you don't have to feel sorry."Instantly, Daisy's lips curled up, she nodded
