Lidia's pov
It's my first day in the college walking in the hallway trying to figure out my class room i have to join this university in the mid semester as we moved from US recently
"Excuse me? " I said to a girl lost in her phone
"Yeah you're excused? " She replied doesn't bother to look up
"Where's economics class? " I asked politely
"It's almost mid semester and you still.. " She paused as she looks at me
"Umm... I am a new join" I said little hesitation
Most of my studies are home schooled so I never get to interact with people much , so haven't got many friends either
" Oh.. Then we are in the same class follow me" She replied with a bright smile as I follow her
" I am reya" She said extending her hand
"Lidia." I shook it
" What made you choose economics? " She enquired
" I am a business major " I replied barley looking at her
She is 5'4 , has brown hair,her hazel eyes adds an ethereal look to her perfect honey tan skin
She has that warm aura makes me comfortable
During our walk to our class she talked about upcoming music fest, academics,hot guys . When the class started I tried my best to focus but..
" Ugghh.. " She growled
" What's wrong? " I whispered eyes still glued to the lecture
" I am hungry ,wanna grab something after the class? " She said placing her hand on the stomach with pouty lips
"Sure.. " I said trying to hold back my smile because of her cute actions
As soon as the class ended reya grabbed my hand and rushed towards the cafeteria
We sat in the corner eating our food while I was scrolling through my phone I heard her calling someone
"Hey... I saved a spot " She said waving her hand
A tall guy sat in front of me next to reya
"Hey gorgeous" He said kissing her cheek
" By the way she's my new friend lidia " She said while I was still looking at the phone
"Li.. Lidia? " His voice sounded shocked as well as familiar ,i looked up to see his face my heart dropped to the ground
' no.. No way.. How can he? ' my mind still processing everything
"You guys know each other? " Reya frowned while I snapped out of my thoughts
" No.. Her name sounds similar to mine so I was just .. " He paused looking at me with those sparkling eyes
"Hai . .. I am lian" He extended his hand
"Lidia.. " I replied fighting to hide my tide of emotions
" He is that hot guy i mentioned before" Reya said giggling
" Oh... So you guys are a couple? " I asked
"NO!!" They both replied in Union
"We are best friends" Reya chuckled awkwardly
After finishing our food we walked to the football court , Lian is a football player and reya wanna watch his practice match so here i am ,reya walked fast as she found some faces from our class leaving me and lian
"So... When did you move here? " Lian asked curiously
" A couple of weeks ago" I replied still eyes on the ground
"What about detrex? Is he here too" He asked firmly
" Yeah.. Maybe you should visit him sometime "I looked at him pleasingly
" Nope , i am good "he said immediately looking away the walk was awkwardly silent for a few seconds
" I am not staying with him anyways ,I moved into the hostel today, maybe we can hangout or something?"i didn't expect the next reaction
"Sure, if you need anything let me know I stay in boys dorm" He said hands tucked in his pockets with a soft smile as we walked closer to a wall near by the court
I heard soft faint sobbing coming behind the wall we are about to pass by
"I will be back you guys go ahead" I told him and ran towards the source of the sound
When I walked to the other side my eyes fell on a girl hugging her knees and crying by burring her face into them
I slowly walked in front of her kneeling down to match her level
"Hey.. Are you okay? " I placed my hand on her shoulder rubbing circles to calm her down
"Just leave me alone ..." She pulled herself back pushing my hand away
Her beautiful strands stick to her wet rosey cheeks , eyes still glossy with a fresh set of tears, yet her brown orbs looks mesmerizing with those big almond eyes, her red plump lips are swollen because of all the crying her little button nose is cute with a light pink tint , her face is a mess with all the tear stain yet captivating
' is she even real? She looks so pretty to be a human 'i thought,not knowing I am staring at her like a creep
" I didn't see you with eric before? What do he wants now? "She said with a little anger in her eyes
" You didn't see me cause I don't know him and got no idea what that *** hole wants"I replied wiping her tears with my thumb as she looks confused
"Then why are you here? Who are you? " She said still not convinced with my words
"I am Lidia.. New join., business major" I replied softly as I stood up extending my hand to help her get up
" I can help myself .. thank you " She stood up adjusting her dress still with those angry eyes and walked away
'Wow that's rude.. ' i muttered looking at the spot she sat before
I see a student id on the ground and picked it up
'Maya' was written under the pic,her smile was cute and contagious
'I wonder what this Eric did to make her cry 'i thought to myself smiling like an idiot as I slide the id in my pocket walking towards the football court
They started their training already I could see lian chasing the ball
"Where did you go? " Reya asked sipping her coffee
"Who's Eric? " I asked out of the blue making her chock on her coffee
"Er- Eric? Why? Why do you ask about him? " Reya replied between her coughs
"Just want to know no reason" I said grabbing her coffee for a sip
"Well.. " She got cutoff by a deep voice behind me
"I am Eric, football captain" a tall well built guy said shuffling the ball in between his hands with a evil smirk on his face
" Eric .. she's lian's friend , a new join"reya said pulling me behind her
" Oh... Then we can be friends too "he said with a smile
"No thanks.. I am good with just two people" I stepped forward looking deep in to his soul
"Damn... Savage... I like that attitude .. But as you are friends with lian don't pick on you ,if you need any help feel free to ask anytime " He said patting my shoulder
"Actually I do need your help with something" I replied pushing his hands off me
"Oh... Already? Did anyone try to bully you? I'll handle t.. " Before he complete
"Stop bothering maya" I replied glaring at him
" Aren't you a new join? Don't tell me your friends with that ***** " He scoffed
"No.. She's not.. Yet ...But I don't think that's the way you should speak about a girl" I growled at him
"Don't you dare rise your voice over me baby girl I can make you regret it " He said grabbing my wrist firmly
"Really? Why don't you try it then? " I challenged him fingers curled in to fist snooting
"Eric ... Don't. " Lian ran towards us making him leave my hand
"You are lucky " He whispered in my ear clenching his teeth
"Loose up your jaw before I make your teeth fall off pretty boy" I said giving him a death glare
"What did you just say? " He grabbed my tshirt and lifted his hand to punch me in the face
I am ready to knock him down at the very moment
His punch stopped in the air by lian holding his hand tightly giving him a serious look
"Not a good move ...bro" Lian
"Seriously? She started it First while I am being nice to her " He replied pulling his hand from lians firm grip
"Do you want to grab everyones attention on your first day by getting in to a fight dia" Lian said dragging me out of there
"It's Lidia... Don't ever call me that again" I snapped my hand out of his and walked towards my hostel while reya followed me.
