Rissa's pov:
Mykel looked shy and nervous. The entire students around fixed their eyes on him like he was some alien or something.
Alex and Zoe weren't an exception.
Jesus Christ!! This is getting too much.
If only they knew he has been in a juvenile detention center for years. They wouldn't even let him get into this school.
Mykel's pov:
I summoned courage and turned away from the multiple eyes that had me roped.
I needed to keep me moving. Otherwise, I'd go crazy.
I bumped into a boy on my way in who had glasses on. He's hair was curly and thick and you'd almost think he's an Indian.
My eyes dropped to his books that has crashed on the floor. We both stooped to pick it up at the same time.
At least he's not staring at me like I had two heads.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking" He said, his hands shaking as he gathered some books.
I scoffed. Why would he be apologizing??
We both walked into each other and I'm practically at fault too. If I wasn't thinking so much about the weird stares from outside.
"Its fine" I muttered as we stood erect.
I noticed his bag was pretty huge and seemed to contain lots of things too.
Doesn't he have a locker or something?? Why take his book around like he has no direction?
"I'm Austin" He said reaching out for a handshake..
"Mykel" I responded not touching him just yet.
"You look new" He remarked staring at the blue suit like uniform I wore.
Oh..that reminds me, its Rissa's stupid favorite color.
"Yeah...first day" I added with a shrug.
"I'll direct you to the principal's office" He offered and I freaked.
He's being too nice! Could he be gay?
Oh...that would be so weird.
"No! I'll find my way myself. Better get to class" I said unconsciously speaking gibberish.
He chuckled.
"Alright. Good luck" He said and rushed out.
He was holding a physics and chemistry text book which means he must be a science students. He's eye glasses barely fit on his face which also means he started wearing the recently.
I don't think he's entirely a dork.
I proceeded down the hall with my hands in my pockets. What a neat school.
Rissa's pov:
"That guy is more than hot! Did you see his hair??? I would do anything to get a hair like that!" Alex screamed just as we settled down for classes.
"You're girl, Alex. You can't go around with such hairstyles" Zoe remarked and I scoffed.
Most times, Alex acts like her father never ran for mayor last year and isn't one of the wealthiest estate owners in the world. She's so uncool!
"Well...I admire his f***king eyes and pink lips. Imagine him staring at you with those two beauties. And the kissing you with those soft pink sweet lips, Geez!!!" Zoe giggled out.
"Seriously guys? We have three subjects this morning and all you can think about is some new Korean boy in school??" I groused irritated.
"Korean? How did you know he's Korean???" Alex and Zoe asked gazing at me.
Oh shreck! Me and my loud mouth.
Suddenly, a fresh wave of mind spinning cologne filled the air which got our nostrils dancing.
There's no doubt that he has walked in!
Lucas Forbes! The president's son!
He headed for his normal spot where he sits together with his friends.
There was no sign of his guards thereby giving us an opportunity to get enough of his good looks.
I tried to maintain and eye contact with him and it worked!
Lucas was staring directly at me for more than two seconds! For the first time ever!
Oh Lord!
He surprisingly smiled and winked at me.
Oh Heavens! Good goddess of Karma!
Is this really happening?
I quickly looked backwards to see if I was really the one he looked, smiled and winked at. I was right. It was ME.
I couldn't help but swoon excitedly.
I drew my attention to him again but too bad the staring section was over.
He had started talking with his friends.
"Who gives a d**n about Lucas now?? The new guy is now my heart's greatest desire. I'll do all I can to get pictures of him and attach it all in my bedroom" Alex bemoaned with excitement.
"Rissa still hasn't told us how she knew the new guy is a Korean" Zoe chimmed in and Alex concords.
I bit my lower lip as I thought of what to say. I don't want them to know Mykel's staying with us and I'm not used to lying to them either.
This is going to be hard!..
"I just guessed since his hair is that curly and his face...isn't it too obvious?" I asked pouting.
"I guess it is. You're so smart Rissa" Zoe commented and I smiled broadly.
........Rissa's pov.......My Mykel is alive. He was awake, weak eyes by at least he was breathing and all bandaged.A tear slid from my cheek as he dropped his head sideways to we my face.I skimmed past the nurse and ran to him. With trembling arms and wobbly knees. I held his hand pathetically staring at him."They told me you wouldn't make it and that you had given up. I knew it's not possible..." I said exuberantly.He stared at me blankly like he couldn't understand what I had been saying."Why are you looking at me like that? Have you lost your memory??" I asked wide eyed and he chuckled."Rissa...I was shot on my chest not my head" He winced and I smiled warmly at him.The three nurses clustered behind me gazing at us. Mom and dad were at the door watching.
.........Rissa's pov......He shook his head slowly like he was about to drop a bad news concerning Mykel."Well...unfortunately, i can't disclose what's wrong with him. He's really in a bad condition and we are yet to get through with him" He replied and I sucked in some air.He'll be fine, I'm sure."Although, I fear he won't make it, my dear" He added and my eyes flared in astonishment."Why do you say such??" I rasped as my ears perked up."He's loosing his breath. There's no doubt he's gonna give up soon. And there's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to accept that the bullet tore him in half.." He informed and mom gasped.I slumped ruefully back on the bench hearing mom sob quietly. I was thrown speechless with what we had just uncovered about his health.He really wants to leave me, doesn't he?
........Rissa's pov......Fear hit me like icy water as Mykel was taken from me. My hands and dress was covered In blood and mom kept dragging me away while I tried holding on persistently.They're taking him away. To the emergency room of course but I still felt like a part of me was been ripped off despite my protests.He wasn't breathing! An alarm rang in my mind.My Mykel wasn't breathing when we arrived.Worry snaked through me as mom sat me down on a bench forcefully.I was barely able to breath with hot tears gathering beneath my eyeballs."Rissa! Look at you. You're covered in blood. What on earth are you doing in Korea???" She fired tapping her hands ruefully on the bench.She had gone on her knees in order for her to see my face since I was gawking at the floor."Mom---" I whispered, disintegrated."Whatever
.........Alex's pov......"So, this is the best you can do?" I asked coyly staring at Lucas as he poured me a glass of wine.He paused and glanced at me."No..." He whispered like he was short of words."You know what? Just take me home" I muttered and he flinched."Oh, come on, Alex. I'm doing all I can to show you that this feelings are not weak. They're strong and it's driving me crazy. I just want to be yours and you'd be mine" He said softly and I sighed."I've never had a boyfriend before, I don't...I don't know what to expect. I want to avoid the problems, Lucas. If the relationship is gonna be toxic or I rather be on my own..." I explained gently."I don't know the best way to show it Alex and I wish I did... But don't leave me hanging, please" He pleaded with a helpless look.I want him too but I don't want to give him the
..........Leah's pov..........I panicked fervently as they started making phone calls.There's no doubt, I'm right!."Edward! There are spies out there. We need to leave this place!" I rasped, perplexed."What are you talking about? I didn't tell anyone we were coming to Korea so how is a plot possible???" He hooted."Will you stop protesting and move this car?!! Don't tell me, you don't value your life!" I blasted and he jerked away from his seat that he was leaning on. The moment he tried getting to the front seat, the men rushed towards us and had us surrounded.The door flung open and one of them raised his shirt coyly for us to see the gun there.It meant two things - don't panic and comply... ........Rissa's pov.......I ran after him as fast as my legs could go. I won't let him leave this place without me. I need to
.........Alex's pov........My eyes fluttered open due to the pecking noise I heard on the window glass. I left the bed moving feebly to it.Most times, I get sensitive while sleeping so I can't go back to bed with so much pecking going on.I pulled the window handles and found a little white bird there with a wrapped note attached to it.Aww! So cute and lovely.I carefully slipped out the note and read through it. This is from Lucas...A good morning message.I smiled.He's got a surprise for me too.What in the world could Lucas possibly give me in order for me to like him back? ........Rissa's pov.......He dropped the bottle on the table and took slow steps towards me."Good morning. I don't know about you but I...I couldn't sleep" He mumbled leaning against the table.
