Valentine
"Keira c'mon fast" I smooth my hands down my skirt . I chose an A line skirt and a white top . Slipping into my sandals I finger comb my hair which is still slightly wet from the shower .
"Coming Coming " she appears in a ponytail sporting a cute tee and shorts . We grab our bags and books as we head out for first day of college .
Liam and Marcus both drive us in our respective Audi's . I reach first so I wait for Keira as soon as she gets out . Expensive cars are parked in the parking lot as we cross it . The building is ancient with towers that gives it a royal look . The classrooms though were more advanced like the library and the cafeteria . There were pools and basketball and other game courts . Activity rooms and tracks . I spot a familiar face she's a friend from my school Violet . Keira waves me as she heads in the direction of her classroom after hugging me leaving me at the corridor bustling with students .
The corridors were bursting with energy . Different kind of students were talking , making acquaintances , first years usually felt shy but I guess it's opposite here . I am sure some might even find themselves distractions on the very first day itself . She looks at me and walks over to me . Violet is one from our groups , her dad is also a businessman and mum is an activist for animals .
"Hey Violet " she smiles at me .
"Hey Valentine , You look pretty " she always makes me smile .
"You look pretty yourself . So Kingston " I twirl my fingers which make us giggle.
"Ivy League Schools or Ivy Level Students" she winks at me .
"Which stream and I agree to the Ivy level students " I ask .
"Business , You ?" We start walking together in the same direction .
"Oh me too " I say
"That's pretty good . Old people rock " She says as we enter the classroom . Some students are already sitting there .
"Violet , I need a favour" I turn to her as we take our seat beside each other in different rows .
"Yeah . I'm all ears . Wait you hit on someone " she asks her eyes going wide in a mocking way .
I just wave her off and she pouts.
"Don't tell anyone my surname " I tuck my hair back as I speak.
"Don't worry your secret is safe with me " She winks as Miss Ellis enters the class . English class begins.
Two boys enter the class when almost fifteen minutes of the class is over .
The teacher stops and the whole class stops talking and small murmurs greet me . I look up and see a familiar face .
Aiden Sterling and Xander Lewis , who looks a little high . Aiden for sure spotted me . Like why did he spot me . I try to avoid him but tough luck so I let my hair fall down forming a curtain over my face .
"Damn it " I mumble.
"Is this a time to enter a classroom ? " Miss Ellis scolds Aiden and Xander .
I hear a loud bang as though someone just banged something hard . I lift my eyes to see Xander standing in her face meanwhile Aiden is looking at them with a bored expression . Several phones come out and sneakily click pictures of the situation .
"Don't you love your job Miss Ellis ?" he smirks in the cruel way that makes the blood cold .
"This is an unacceptable behavior " she says her voice creaks at the end .
"Pardon ! " Aiden quirks an eyebrow and smirks so sinister .
I ask Violet who Xander is
"He's the minister's son , Xander , I heard that his father is running for Prime Minister's position " She looks at him and turns her attention to the book .
"Oh I see . No wonder he's so spoiled " I look at them .
"Last warning or you'll be thrown out of the class Miss Patricia Ellis " Xander comments and sits beside Violet on the first seat . First time saw a bad boy sitting in a first bench. I laugh slowly at that thought.
"How are you Valentine " Aiden asks as he sits beside me in his royal blue button down shirt and black slacks with the college's blazer . I need to collect mine . He looks handsome but his aura is feral like those of dark pyschopath . He sits beside me his cologne invades my nostrils . I try to concentrate but the eyes on me prevent to do so . Finally I look at him and raise my eyebrow and he just stares at me with those black eyes . I swear I just had a shiver run down my spine .
As soon as the class gets over I head over to the library . I text Keira on my way to the library . Aiden Sterling stands at the entrance of the library . I roll my eyes at him and try to brush past him . He holds my forearm and drags me into a secluded corner .
"Hey Valentine . Ended up in my kingdom " He smirks that makes me go mad .
"Yes . And I wasn't aware this was yours . If I was aware I wouldn't dare to enter this university " I huff and look away . Of course I knew he was in Kingston but why is he cornering me every time . Does he think I bump into him intentionally .
"I think I already apologized for bumping into you . I swear it wasn't intentional" I look at him , he is intimidating . Folding my arms over my chest I wait for him to move . After some moments , I try to push him away but hard time , he doesn't even budge . I roll my eyes at him and try to duck out of his hold .
"Stop being a attitude chick or I'll fuck that out of you , Sweetheart " he smiles wolfishly at me .
"What the hell " I try to remain calm.
"Your skirt is bloody amazing and I am tempted to explore..." before he can complete I slap him across his face . He looks at me and crashes his mouth over mine . I don't open my mouth but the force is too much I bite his lower lip hard to draw blood but does he budge . Not even an inch . He pulls back with a satisfied taunting smile . His hold on my waist tightens , I guess they will leave bruises after that .
"What the hell was that " I yell at him . My lips must be swollen because of the immense pressure .
"A kiss , Sweetheart " he says and turns back to leave .
"You're an A grade arsehole you motherfucker " I shout behind him , he just turns and gives me a smug smile and continues walking . I shake my head in disgust. As soon as the last class gets over I text Keira an apology and she says she couldn't make it to the library herself . Violet has already left because she didn't opt for the extra one . A handsome brunette boy enters the class .
"Everyone's invited to the party tonight . My house " The girls go Ooh Aah but well I'm not interested in these parties .
"Scholarship?" the guy asks me as he stalks towards me I was busy marking my notes . I fight the urge to roll my eyes at him .
"Yeah" I say in a flat voice .
"Looks like AraKeira really doesn't know how to make friends" he laughs at his own joke , making me laugh on the inside , how much does this idiot know my sister ?
"I'll leave you with your meaningless joke Eli Williams" I try to walk away but he cages me with both his hands beside my hips on the table .
"Party is at my place " he is at a distance .
"How do you know Keira ?" I fold my arms and wait for his answer .
"None of your business " he whispers and leaves . It's already ten minutes late than the dismissal time .
I run through the corridor and bump into Keira who was waiting for me on the other end of the corridor .
"What's wrong " she asks .
"Nothing let's leave " I sigh and we walk out . Aiden comes out of nowhere and blocks my way . I shake my head inwards and try to brush past him .
"Heard you are not attending Eli's Party " he crosses his arms over his chest flexing his arms making the blazer look sexy. Nope no going there .
"We forgot our blazers right , let's take them Valentine " Keira quips and pulls me with her but Aiden was quicker and pulls me to him , just like the way at the mall .
"Why aren't you attending ?"
"I've got some work to do " I look at the invisible point on the blazer , he is wearing .
"You will " he turns back and gets into his Ferrari . Obviously he owns a Ferrari . I wait for him to get out of the school premises . Keira comes with our blazers and we walk out slowly where Liam and Marcus are waiting . We get into our cars and drive away .
"Liam can you get me a coffee Please " he nods and parks outside Starbucks . He locks the car as he gets out .
My phone lights up with a text .
Isabella: Can you meet me at Williams Villa .
Me: Okay .
Isabella: Alone . Either you or Keira but only one .
Me: Okayy I'll see to that .
"Ma'am , your coffee" Liam passe me my go to coffee .
"Thanks Liam " I say and take a sip .
"Liam in the evening I need to go to Williams Villa " I say as I search my phone .
"Sure Ma'am " he doesn't look at me and his focus is on the road .
As I enter home I see Keira has already changed into top and yoga pants .
"Home Keira" I say and enter the room to change . We have our lunch .
"Late ?" she asks me .
"Had a coffee " I say . I haven't talked to her about the morning scene of Aiden and me .
"Keira I'll have to go to meet Isabella . She said one of us to meet her so I thought I'll go . What do you say ?" I ask her consciously.
"I think you should go I'll manage Mom and Dad " she smiles at me and we finish our lunch .
"Are you attending Eli's party ?" I ask Keira as we clean our plates in the kitchen.
"No he doesn't give out normal vibes " she laughs ruefully .
"None of the four do " I stare down at my plate.
"Yeah . I saw Aiden too " she says and looks at me .
"Well something happened today " I finally tell her the whole event and her mouth is open like a fish out of water.
"Well that sounds psychopathic " she says thinking hard .
"I know " I huff and we go to the living room . Switching on the television we start watching After movie .
