Luke got inside the car and he was quick to start the engine and drive. Since it was the first day of college for Ruby and he also had an important meeting at the company, he was in a hurry. "Shall we?" He asked Ruby, who was sitting next to him. As he had promised last night, he was going to drop her to college first and then carry on with his work. Ruby nodded her head, giving her consent.
The drive went fairly well. Except for the incident at a traffic signal.
"You just want to show off that you have a handsome guy drop you to college, right," Luke said. It was an attempt to tease Ruby. But her response was epic.
Ruby smirked at him and replied, "If I wanted to show off a handsome face then I would have called Gabriel." Luke shut his mouth and concentrated on driving. Seeing Luke's silence, Ruby tho

Gia angrily entered the classroom. Her nostrils were flaring because of the anger inside her. She was walking mindlessly and that made her bump into a hard surface. She looked up only to see a handsome boy standing in front of her. He was wearing loose jeans and a t-shirt. His hair was styled and he had a cheering gum in his mouth. Anybody could guess he was the bad boy type."I did not see you," Gia said. She was not the kind of person to say sorry to anyone.The boy smirked at her, "That's okay darling." Although Gia did not like his attitude, she did not say anything about it. She was not ready to mess things up in college. She was here for a reason."Are you in this class as well? I am new here," Gia said, faking a smile. The boy smiled at her and replied, "Yup, I am in this class as well. And it's great you hav

Gia sat in the coffee shop near the college. She had called Adam earlier and told him to come to the coffee shop. It was more like she threatened him to ruin his life if he did not show up. She had ordered a cup of coffee for herself. She was sipping off it while she waited for Adam. A tall man entered the coffee shop and looked around, trying to spot someone. His eyes traced most of the shop but he can't seem to find the person. So, he picked up his phone and dialed the number. At the corner seat, he heard the ringing and went there. “Are you the one who called me here?” He asked Gia, who was seated in a position that reflected as if she owned the place. “Are you Adam Rogers?” Gia asked. The man nodded his head, “Yes, that is me.” Gia stared at his appearance and she was beyond disg

Madeleine fixed her hair and exited the restroom. She had taken a quick break to fix herself for the meeting that she has to attend in half an hour. She hummed a song that she had heard somewhere and reached her desk. The telephone rang and she was summoned by her boss, Luke."Sir, you called me?" Madeleine asked as she entered Luke's office. He nodded his head and gave her a sheet of paper. Madeleine went through it and looked up at her boss with a flabbergasted expression."Sir, are you sure this is the step you are going to take?" She asked."I thought I was the boss," Luke said while his eyes fixed on his laptop screen. Madeleine hesitantly asked another question, "Sir, do I have to send an email to all of the mentioned here?"Luke smirked and shook his

Luke had been busy all morning preparing for a meeting. Even though he was the CEO and could outline some of the things, he never did that. In fact, he was the one who would put in extra effort and make sure the contracts went through smoothly. Right now, he is in the process of signing a fresh contract with some new clients. When the client was about to sign the contract, everyone heard a commotion outside the conference room. Since the door was closed, they only heard the muffled voice. Luke turned to Madeleine and signaled her to check what was happening outside. She nodded her head and immediately went towards the door. Before Madeleine could step out and speak, Alan, one of the fired employees, shouted, "Where is Luke Sawyer? We want to talk to him." Madeleine hissed at his voice, "Please low

Luke reached home tired and rigged from work. Especially, after the series of scenes that happened at the office had tired him out. He heard the television sound and assumed that Ruby might be in the living room. He went ahead and he was right in his guess. Ruby was on the couch and her books were spread across her while the television was playing in the background. Luke sat next to her and stared at her books, "Wow.. you are such a diligent student. Studying from the first day itself. No wonder you are a topper." His words made Ruby look up at him, "They have given an assignment on the first day itself. What can I do? And I surely don't want to lose marks." Luke nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah, right. Go on." "Where is Rosa?" Luke asked when he did not hear Rosa's voice or any signs of her. "Rosa has g

Next day early morning, Adam had taken a fresh shower and got into his neat clothes. He had a mission in hand and he would succeed in it, no matter what because he can't afford to see his life ruined. If anyone knew about his plan they would say he is the biggest hypocrite on this earth. He is ready to ruin his ex-girlfriend's life to save his ass. Adam exited his hostel room and went towards the university building. He did not waste any time and reached Ruby's classroom. He did not enter the classroom but waited outside. He glanced inside the classroom, there were a few students but no one that was close to Ruby. "Who are you peeper?" Came a voice which made Adam turn around. Colton's lips spread into a smile, "Hey, my man, what are you doing here? How are you?"

After Colton went inside the classroom, Adam stayed back in his previous place and waited for Ruby. He waited for about 10 or 15 minutes until he spotted Ruby and Mia from afar. He stood straight and looked her way.Ruby and Gia noticed Adam at the same time. "What is he doing here? Does he have this class as well?" Mia asked. Ruby sighed and shook her head, "I don't think that he has this class. But he has been calling me since yesterday night. Luke was kinda pissed off because of the continuous phone calls during our dinner and while driving home."Gia's eyebrows quirked up. She gave her best friend a huge smirk, "Dinner huh? You two go out to eat and all?"Ruby frowned, understanding her friend's suggestive words, "I tricked him to take me out for dinner. Because Rosa was not at home and I was not in the mood to

The principal was attending a phone call so the students stood silently and awaited their fate.After Mia's hand landed as a slap on Gia's face, she burst out. She pulled Mia's hair and vice versa happened. The students from inside the classroom had gathered in front of them to watch the show. Who would lose the chance to watch the first show of the new academic year? It was just a matter of time that the staff attender called the students because the news had reached the principal's office."So?" The principal looked at students while disconnecting the phone call.
