"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Bella asked with all seriousness with an uncontrollable amount of excitement in her huge brown eyes.
"She isn't blinking..."
"Nor is she playing with her hands..."
"That means..."
"She is telling the truth!!" Someone screamed.
"Really! Our heartthrob is really here..."
"What do you mean by 'our' he's obviously Lana's man so back off, all of you." A slim and slender girl stood in front of the blonde haired girl and said in a declaring manner.
"What do you think of yourself Mandy? Just because your idol is all rich and powerful doesn't mean she can claim our heartthrob alright..." Andy, a girl closer to Stanley came in front and shot a glare at Lana.
"Forget it Mandy such trash aren't worth our time. Come on now, lets get going." Lana regained her composure and reverted back to her proud self with a smirk on her lips.
"Sure Lana. Here, let me help with your backpack." Mandy took Lana's backpack and followed after her like an obedient minion.
"Typical Mandy" Stanley said with an irritated hiss.
"Are you still going to the library or are you going to stand there all day" Bella asked with a questioning look on her face as she approached Monica who was staring blankly out the window.
"Oh I almost forgot. C'mon, lets get going" she said as she walked out with Bella. Monica and Bella were in their second year in the university. They both were in the art department with Monica studying to be a journalist while Bella a detective.
The have known each other for close to eight years and have a very solid and unbreakable friendship. Bella Slivee is 23 years from Country F and she met Monica for the first time a year after the Mitchell's relocated to country F.
Monica is now called Monica Mitchell after the adoption procedures were finalised 3 months after the accident. Monica was hypnotised by A world renowned hypnosis and she was made to take up the identity of Max's younger sister. Her memories of her mother and the Jones with all other Memories before the accident were hidden deep within her that its impossible for her to recall then without a great stimulation.
She resumed school at age thirteen and met Bella at Thristen High School. They have been best friends since then and these two were currently on their way to the library.
"Ouch.." Monica cried out in pain.
"I'm sorry.. um.. your head, are you alright??" The handsome boy who stood like an emperor in her front cladded in a dazzling yellow jacket with nude pants had an apologetic look on his face watching the beauty rub her head in pain.
He slowly pushed some strands of his dark gold backward and revealed a captivating smile on his perfectly shaped lips.
"Yeah... I'm okay." Monica rubbed her forehead A little as she took in the cutie standing in front of her.
"I' m sorry again. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and was typing away on my cellphone." He said with fluent English as he shook the brightly lit phone he held in the air.
"Its okay and I'm also sorry. I wasn't looking up so we are both at fault."
"Nahh... don't mention it. By the way, I'm Mar--"
"I know you... you are Marco Aari. Please to meet you. Please to meet you..." Bella rushed in between the two as she took Marco's hand in hers and shakes it continuously.
"I didn't think I would meet my admirer here." Marco said with a chuckle as he brought the long handskake to the end.
"What!!" Monica exclaimed.
"Yes. I'm Marco Aari. But you can call me Marco." Marco said with a chuckle as he shakes Monica's hand with a smile.
"And what may I call this beautiful damsel??" Marco asked when Monica stood there in a daze.
"I'm... I'm Monica. Monica Mitchell." She quickly responded with a smile.
'So beautiful' Marco thought inwardly as he critically examined Monica's features.
Monica has matured over the past eleven years. She has developed the captivating features of a young lady. She retained her long legs and her beauty has increased by leaps and bounds. Her hair has also grown longer, a little above her waist and a touch of blue could be seen in between her hair stands.
"Nice to meet you Monica." Marco said.
"Me me me!! I'm Bella. Bella Slivee." Bella jumped excitedly. "Oh right. Sorry I forgot you." Marco said with a smile.
"Bella. Nice name." He added. A beeping sound could be heard from his phone and when he checked it, he had an apologetic look on his face.
"Sorry ladies. I've got to go now. Bella, Monica, see you later." Marco said as he waved at Monica before rushing in the direction Bella and Monica came from.
"See you later." Monica said when Marco brushed past her to which Marco revealed and intoxicating smile.
"Did you see that? Did you see that!!" Bella suddenly screamed out. "Its real its real...Marco shook me...HE SHOOK ME!!" Various eyes were cast at her but she didn't mind as she continued jumping in excitement.
"Enough Bella. Jeez do you want my name to appear on the students platform??" Monica felt helpless towards Bella's childishness. Bella was wellknown in all of country F. This was partially due to her family's influence and her own name she has managed to make over the years.
Damiel's House of Gold University (DHGU) was like her own home where her popular soars the highest. She is popularly known as Beauty Disaster because of her beauty that rivals most average looking girls and her open and free nature that attracts disaster sometimes as well as luck.
It was already half past one in the afternoon by the time they got to the library. The library wasn't too rowdy as it would have been on a Monday afternoon but because of Marco's arrival, most people decided to wait in the hallways or open gathering just to catch a glimpse of him.
Monica and Bella quickly settled on the table by the window before picking out the books they want to study from the shelves.
About an hour or so later, a rumble was heard and Bella covered her face in embarrassment. "I'm so hungry Monica. Don't you think its time we had lunch?" Bella complained as she drew her chair closer to Monica.
"But you had chips before we came here. 'Sigh' don't you get tired of eating?" Monica questioned helplessly. Bella was older than her with two years and some months but still behaved like an eight year old.
