4. the first meeting.

Adleys pov; roof top

IS HE MAD!!??...THE ROOFTOP IS MORE THEN 9 TO 10 FLOORS ABOVE THE GROUND ,A SMALL SLIP AND HELL he'll BE FLYING DOWN TO EARTH,CRACKING HIS SKULLS AND BONES

"Ethan!!the place ur in is kinda dangerous!u should really get down from their!"he got startled by my sudden erupt of voice,his features turned cold after seeing me,he jus gave me a stare "its none of ur buissness"he said abit too rudely,"I'm just looking out for you,I dont want to torment myself seeing someone dying infront of me.....again".I blurted out without thinking (regret) and mumbled the last part out,he looked hurt,his eyes turned glassy as if it reminded him of something , he slowly stood up from the other side of the railing to get down mumbling "fine! Its not like I care for my worthless life anyway" but I got what he said,I knew for some reason he has something to do with my dreams, " here let me help u get off"I offered my hand to him so he get off easily,he simply eyed me up and down and said "I'm fine-".."no I insist"I said ,he gave me a smirk and held my hand,his hands were cold just like his behaviour,he got down by applying his whole bodyweight on me making me stumble and wince!...his smirk grew wider "want to help more,miss stick"gave me a teasing smile,as if shaming my strength.i jus glared at him."ur welcome!u ungreatful ass","I didn't call for ur help, now did I?he questioned "ur right,I shouldn't have bothered,the big fall would've knocked some sense into you"I fired back,he just went off murmering a whatever down to the stairs,he surely had a good exterior but I knew he was fighting a whole big battle inside of him,he really needed help,someone by his side,to remove the negativity from him,looking up at the sky,I thought what if it was god's sign of telling me to help him, to be for him as how I couldn't be there for Ezra, would it make her happy?would she forgive me! Was it her way of telling me to save a life to repay for my sins?.. whatever it was I wanted to help him I could see the cry for help in his eyes,the dissaponment the life has given him .....I wanted to help him for myself, maybe it would make me feel a bit less guilty,not thinking anymore I decided that I wanted to help him,for that I needed to know him and his problems,and for that I needed to get close to him....

"ETHAN!!!!WAIT! IM COMING!TOO!!"I ran down the stairs behind him to find him passing the hallway ignoring my voice,this idiot...I quickly ran behind him holding his forearm with one hand and the other hand on my knees bending trying to catch my breath "w-aai wait um- let's go ho-me to-together" I said still a bit breathless because of chasing him.he he observed me moving abit closer to me, shrinking his eyes as if finding my real intentions,"and what makes you think that I'll accept ur offer?"he asked folding his hands."umm maybe because both our houses lay on the same route"he just looked at me with baffled expression "why so suddenly?is it to pity me ?if yes then I don't need your sympathy" "no no no...i just don't want to walk home alone,so yes or yes?."I asked ..he looked unsure...".pretty please...?"I asked with expecting eyes,he just rolled his eyes and went his way without saying anything,"I'm taking it as a yess!"I said walking by his side,"it doens't look like you gave me a choice though"he said obviously annoyed.i jus gave him a nervous giggle walking by his side to head back home.

"I thought u were in my dance academy too!right?why did you quit?"I said trying to start a conversation."jus found out not my thing"he said bored and ignoring me."oh !I see..."I say as he totally rubbed me off,its going to be hard with him especially if he's being such a ignorant bitch, "u know ms.kwon ,she jus....."I started talking about random things at uni jus get rid of this uncomfortable atmosphere and get to know him a bit more,but all mr.sadistic-arrogant-ass did was to react as if I'm invisible to him not even a hum of acknowledgment.

Its continuously been 2 days,of me following him after uni to home and start a conversation,but I've it fruited nothing,and seriously I'm loosing hope!

Its the 3rd day, we are walking on the silent street with handful of people in view ,m again blabring something,"what bout you is it-"half way through our way he suddenly halts my voice and turns to me,"what are you exactly tryna do adley?"he questions suspecious ,"speaking with you- no its jus me tryna talk and you ignoring me like the past 3 days"I say giving him a scoff ,"no shit! Sherlock,I'm not talking about that,I'm asking what are you trying to prove by all this..u know!. u suddenly being 'let's get know ethan ' thing.. don't you think it's kinda weird"he said taunting with his hands,am I that obvious? I thought to myself,I thought I was doing a good work.,"aa ermm...Is trying to speak to my classmate that big of deal?"I questioned with narrowed eyes"no !it isn't,but u suddenly coming out of nowhere after 3 years of uni together trying to be all friendly gives me creeps,miss jones!!"he exclaimed "I wouldn't find it weird if I were you" i say quietly."but I do! because no one tried to get close to me before,I'm used to it!used to being ignored by all, and would be glad if left the same,and if by any chance you are doing this because u think that I'm some loner depressed ass in search of friends then ur completely wrong!I'm fine by myself!" He says no scratch thats he literally shouts to my face...its my time to shout now,"I am not doing this because of pity or whatever shit you call it!I just try to be friendly and polite enough to everyone around me and ur no exception to that,and stop acting like somestuck-up-arrogent ass for godsake!!".."I WOULD GLADLY!!IF YOU STOP BEING THE PAIN IN MY ASS,AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" He bolts at me too meanly for my taste that my eyes glistens.,I look down and feel bad for myself, with unstable voice "I didn't know I had bothered you this much, miller, I'll Stop being 'the pain in ur ass' ,IM SORRY for bothering you"I exclaim still mad as I make my towards my apartment leaving him with many expression, anger,annoyed,confusion,and....I swear I jus saw a tiny amount of guilt passing through his face.

I reach my apartment with a spoilt mood,and go to bed still bothered by the ethan incident after uni.

Next day is the same with regular routine, I haven't seen ethan today.,.... talk of the devil...I see ethan coming to our uni canteen, he just ignores me and goes his way as if we didn't have a verbal fight on the streets yesterday! Rudeyy! .....I see him taking his seat at the far corner of the canteen and eating alone ,while everyone around are having fun with their friends, I huff and leave the canteen!

Its been two days after the fight...I've been taking metro as before to go back home, and haven't talked to him.

I'm sitting in my usual place in my class to start the first class of the day

My stare fixed on the glass window watching the water droplets making its way down, I'm so absorbed in watching the water droplet race that I didn't notice figure making his way towards me." Umm,adley!?"he says making me startle, I stare at him with my mouth agape,
