Don't Touch Me!

"Claire Kingsley!! Wake up!!!! We're going to be late for the opening ceremony!!!!" Zoe shouted as she pulled away the cozy and heavy blankets from Claire.

Zoe was like a mother figure to Claire. They've been together since high school and their bond is deeper than anything.

Now, upon entering college, they've started to live together.

It's spring and Claire has worked very hard to gain this scholarship. So she's very excited.

"Huh oh shit right! Oh noooo we're late!" Reality hit her as she quickly got off the bed and readied herself.

After what seemed like hours to Zoe, they were finally ready to leave. Thankfully, they reached there early enough.

At college :

As they walked through the entrance, there were already a large group of girls swooning over a boy.

Woah what a large group of girls. That poor guy, he definitely looks uncomfortable yet they still wouldn't give him space. He must be some handsome dude, though I can't really get a good look of him....well whatever.

Due to the crowd, Claire was not able to see properly who that boy was. Without giving much attention, she and Zoe ignored the crowd and started to mingle with others.

"Hi I'm Ryan, second year in the department of art."

There were a few guys and girls that consists of different years and departments in the group - Ryan, Olivia, Rachel, Ben and Christopher.

They were all very friendly towards Claire and Zoe. Even one of them, Ben, was very interested in Claire.

"Hi I'm Claire, and this is Zoe. We're both freshmens. I'm in the department of social sciences." Claire replied with a beautiful smile.

"Hi! It's nice to meet you guys. I'm in the department of business administration." Zoe said cheerfully.

After a long speech of introductions and rules and getting to know the students, the day went by quicker than expected.

Classes ended and lunch has finally arrived! As usual, the cafeteria was cramped with beautiful and handsome people.

And there were the swarm of girls hovering over the same boy Claire noticed today. After Claire was being served with food, she sat with everyone and enjoyed her meal.

"Who's that boy?" Claire asked Ryan with curiosity.

"That's Jack Miller. He's filthy rich and handsome but unfortunately he's an absolute clean freak. He doesn't like people near him but the girls still flock towards him. Damn if I was him, I'd be happy all those girls came to me." He replied with a tiny bit of jealousy.

Then, upon finishing her meal and ready to put away her plates, she slipped and bumped into Jack and fell on top of him.

*Clash*

"Ouch!" Claire whimpered.

She was lying on Jack while the everything was a mess on the floor.

"Hey! Aren't you going to get up?! Move!" Jack shouted in annoyance.

They caught the attention of the whole cafeteria.

Some were whispering words of pities towards Claire for messing with Jack, while his fangirls were giving glares.

"I...I'm sorry I slipped. Are you okay?"

As she was struggling to get up, her hands accidentally touched his arms for balance.

After Jack realised her hands touching him, he again shouted with disgust, "Don't touch me! Go away!"

When Claire was still struggling and shocked from his words, Jack suddenly pushed her and got up.

Claire, on the other hand, fell back onto the ground.

"Hey! I know it's my fault I fell on you but you didn't need to push me so harshly! So rude!" Claire was boiling with anger.

Jack looked at her carefully and without saying sorry, he stormed out of the cafeteria and left murmurs lurking around.

Shit! What's wrong with me? I used to hate people touching me but strangely I did not feel anything hatred towards her touch. Weird....

Jack thought to himself after replaying the scene back in his mind.
