Chapter 1 - Not A Normal Girl

"You're the fear, I don't care

'Cause I've never been so high

Follow me through the dark

Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life, to life." A girl started singing her favourite song as usual.

She started dancing to the loud song, forgetting the world. It was her regular activity to dance after waking up from her beauty sleep!

"So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?" She kept singing, her ugly voice reaching downstairs.

Her mom who was arranging the table for breakfast had enough of her bad singing. No one sings that awful but she does. She knows how to ruin a good song.

"Emma, get your ass in the bathroom and stop singing for god's sake. Hurry up, it’s your first day in your college but it looks like you want to be late!" Her mom shouted so that she could hear through the loud music.

"Yes, momma!" Emma shouted back, biting her tongue.

She turned off the speaker and quickly rushed to the bathroom.

~~~~~

"Here comes your Princess!" Evelyn said looking at Emma who descended the stairs tying her long hair into a ponytail.

"Good morning, papa!" She said kissing her father's cheeks and then going towards her mom.

"Good morning, mumma!" She greeted Evelyn too and started drinking her chocolate milk.

"Good morning, princess!" David said, smiling at her.

"Listen, girl, you are eighteen now. So stop acting childish everywhere. And I am telling you this because I have found a good alliance for you!" Her mom said dropping a bomb and ruined her good day.

She choked on the milk hearing her.

"You what?" She screamed, not believing what she heard.

"You want me to get married at eighteen. What the freak!" She said, feeling unbelievable about her mom.

"I am not telling you to get married now. I just got a good alliance so meet the guy and I will fix the marriage then you will get married after finishing your studies." Her mom said in a calm chilling tone.

By her tone, Emma understood that she can't deny it.

I will also not let this marriage get fixed so easily. Let me meet that boy, I will teach him such a lesson that he will shiver by hearing my name, Emma thought evilly.

~~~~~

"The first impression is the last impression. You are late on your first day of College. Weren’t you excited?" Amelia asked, narrowing her eyes at Emma who just reached college by taxi.

"I am sorry. When I was coming by the alley, John was winking at me. So I picked up a stone and aimed it at his eye! Now he can't even wink at his girlfriend!" Emma said laughing hysterically.

"Oh, God!" Amelia exclaimed in shock hearing her.

"BTW, do you know, mom is trying to fix my marriage? Today I have to go to meet that man in a cafe! I want to have a love marriage! But mom doesn’t understand!" Emma whined in annoyance.

"Uh oh! But I know you! You will do something that the guy will think a thousand times before fixing the marriage!" Amelia said, shaking her head as she knows what her best friend is!

"Tell me, what is going on in your mind?" Amelia asked, raising her eyebrows and Emma smirked lost in her thoughts!

~~~~~

"Look at him, he is so cute!" Emma said, shaking Amelia's shoulder for the tenth time.

"My ears are working properly! I heard it when you said it the first time." Amelia said, rolling her eyes.

Emma was drooling over a nerdy glasses boy in the class who looked too cute to her.

"I think he is my soulmate!" Emma said, looking at him with twinkling eyes.

"Don’t jump to a conclusion! You are just having a crush on him!" Amelia said in a bored tone.

"Nah, I want him. Dirty thoughts are appearing in my mind!" Emma said giggling, eyeing that boy who was deeply engrossed in books.

Amelia facepalmed herself listening to her.

"I am going to him to say hi!" Emma said and got up from her seat, determining that she will make him her boyfriend which she was craving for so long.

"Don’t say anything stupid!" Emma heard Amelia's voice as she got close to that boy's table.

Emma knocked on the table to get the boy's attention and he looked up at her. But instantly the boy's expression changed into a scared one.

"I... I.... don’t talk to girls! I am a fucking big introverttttttttt." That boy screamed looking at Emma like he saw a ghost.

He ran away with his books like his ass was on fire! Emma was rooted in her place trying to think about what just happened!

She slowly walked toward Amelia and sat down on her seat.

"What was that?" Emma asked with her horrified expression.

"Haha! Everyone knows that boy in the college! That guy is freaking scared of girls." Amelia said laughing.

"Maybe he is gay!" Amelia added, in a thinking manner.

"I don’t think so!" Emma said as she was somehow sure that he was straight.

"BTW, you are coming with me to the cafe to meet that man!" Emma said and she doesn’t take no as an answer.

~~~~~

"You sure, you wanna go dress up like that?" Amelia asked, looking at Emma from top to bottom.

"Without any doubt! He will have a heart attack looking at me in this skimpy dress." Emma said giggling.

"Aunt will kill you if she knows about this!" Amelia said, getting afraid in advance of Evelyn's anger.

"Don’t worry! I will handle her!" Emma said, letting her long hair open.

She was looking like a seductress in that dress. Amelia mentally prayed to God, hoping that everything would happen as they had planned.
