Chapter 3

As she entered college, she started feeling uncomfortable again. It is been a long to be out like this. she is avoiding socialization for years now. It is almost three years now, the last she was happy was three years ago.

And these three years changed her life completely. She forgot to smile. She scares now of being close to anyone. She does not talk even with girls.

This is her third day in college. She came to two days college before her hospitalization. And after that, this is the first day when she came to college.

She asked about her class to the receptionist and headed towards the classroom. She never thought that she will be able to study again in her life after living in hell. She was not only broken, but she was also dead.

She wonders how did she survive those years. Thinking about her past again tears built up in her pale eyes. Her legs started trembling, and her vision got blurry, but she quickly wiped her tears.

She wants to give up on her darkest past and move on in her life when the most kind-hearted couple adopted her at this age. She thought God gives her a second chance to move on in her life.

She willingly accepts the love they were giving her, but after trying so much, she was unable to give them back the love they deserved. But today when she called them mom and dad, their reaction made her heart clench in the pain.

But she was now determined to move on. She will start to love them as her parents because they really deserved it.

Once again she was lost in her past and confused in her present. She was about to fall down so badly. And she quickly closed her eyes, ready to feel the pain once again. But wait, that did not happen.

She felt a soft pair of hands on her waist. and she realized that she did not fall down. She was protected and in someone's strong arms. Still too scared to open her eyes.

But she slowly opened her eyes, to find the dark black eyes staring at her. And then he was looking straight into her eyes. And then she felt a warm touch on her face.

She realized that he wiped her tears with his thumb, and she quickly gets up on her feet.

She opened her mouth to say thank you to him, but then closed it again. No words were coming out of her mouth. And before he could say anything to her she quickly ran away in the direction of her classroom.

He was the same guy, who asked her to drop college, but she refused him.

He was probably the most handsome guy in the college, as every girl was staring at him on campus. But he put his glasses on his eyes and ignored all the stares and walk out from the campus, headed straight to his classroom.

He entered the classroom, and find a suitable seat for him. Well, there was no suitable seat there. But again, his gaze fell on her again.

She was sitting alone on the bench, and he wants to sit beside her. She was writing something in the notebook, and he just sat on the bench next to hers. And then he noticed that she was writing her journal.

The lecturer came to the classroom and Grace stood up from her seat and wished her good morning.

The whole class started laughing at her. She used this habit in her high school, but maybe she forgot that now she is in college, and here students do not do this.

Here the lecturer comes and goes who cares, but the lecturer passed her a bright smile and wished her back.

Grace does not care what others think about her. She was not even affected by the laughter of the students. She sat down on her seat and started studying what the lecturer was teaching.

The bell rang and the lecturer passed Grace a small smile before leaving the classroom, which Grace gladly return.

Her next lecture was after half an hour, so she decided to head straight to the library.

She asked the receptionist about the library and went in that direction.

Usually, very few students go to the library in this college, so there were barely only one or two students.

Grace found it a little weird but she ignored it.

And as she went inside, here he was sitting on the first bench, watching her.
