Chapter 2

After calming myself, I took a glance over my alarm. Oh my god, it was showing at 9 a.m. I'm late, I started doing my morning activities as fast as possible. 

After I was done, I went down. There was no time for breakfast. My first class will start soon and the final year students have to do lots of things. So sneaking, I started moving in the direction of the main door when my hand was on the doorknob there came a cool, calm voice saying you're not leaving without breakfast, it was aunt Jennifer's voice she always knows when I'm leaving the house. 

I believe she has some special powers and whenever I ask her. She just smiles at me and tells me it's a secret that adds more fuel to my curiosity. 

I took a step back, "but I'm getting late for my class," I told her. For a second she glanced at me and started serving my breakfast. There was no point in arguing with her, so I finished my breakfast as quickly as possible. The class had already started when I entered my university, I took a seat beside my best friend Grayson Williams. We became friends during the 3rd year because we were in the same project group. Usually, I don't make friends because of him. 

"Him", my heart started beating faster, I don't know what he would do if he came to know I have a boy as my best friend. Once again today my thoughts drifted to him. 

I still remember that day when I came to live at uncle Adam's house after my parent's death. 

He was my dad's friend; I didn't know my father had a friend who lived in New York. He was a very kind man to me in the hospital after the accident. He was the first person I saw after opening my eyes. He told me he was my father's friend and when I asked about mom and dad; he told me only I had survived. I was so upset after my parent's death; he was always with me. He took care of me. 

I accepted his offer when he asked me to live with his family because I had nowhere to go; I was only 16. I had my own house, but I couldn't live there alone. Memories of my mom and dad were there in that house. It would hurt so much to live there alone. Throughout the flight, I was crying in the pain of leaving my house and my old life, so much that when I saw myself in the plane's washroom, my eyes were swollen and my nose was red. 

When we arrived at his place. My eyes grew big. He didn't mention that he lives in a mansion, wow, did it rhymed? He just told me he has his own house in New York with a small family and they would love to have a new family member like me. His mansion is so beautiful from the outside. 

When we went inside, it was even more beautiful; I was gazing all over the mansion, then my gaze fell on the lady standing in front of me. When our eyes met, she smiled at me wholeheartedly. I smiled back at her. Her name is Jennifer Adams, she is uncle Adam's wife; she hugged me with so much affection. She was so warm while hugging me she told me from now onwards this is my home too. 

I was feeling strange from the movement as I entered this house like someone was staring at me but there was no one besides uncle and aunty. Aunt hugged me again while hugging. I saw someone leaning against the wall behind her in the dark. There I saw "him" for the first time, it was dark there so I couldn't see him. Aunt Jennifer called him afterward, she told me he is their only son. He was 20 and we would become very good friends and he would be so happy to meet a lovely girl like me for a movement. I thought maybe I can make new friends, I won't be alone in these places. 

"Son why are you still standing there, come fast, welcome our new family member "She called him again, slowly a figure in the dark started moving and it brought a big smile to my face to meet my new friend. 

He came in light and stood in front of me. My eyes met his cold sea color, eyes, and a smile on my face disappeared. He was so handsome with cold sea color eyes. He was staring at me and I was also staring back at him and then I saw something in his cold eyes. I saw hatred in his sea color eyes.

Towards whom? 

My question was answered soon. Saying nothing, he left the room. My thought of making a new friend was thrown out of the window by him and I knew he was not happy meeting a lovely girl like me.

I heard someone calling my name, and my eyes turned towards Gray. "Jane, I called your name so many times are you daydreaming again? the class is over, come on let's go. We have to go to the next class" he said and then taking my hand he started dragging me for our next class with a smile on my face I let him drag me. Once again today, involuntarily, I let my thoughts drift to think about "him"...
