Chapter 3: Decided to!

"C'mon Eros, You are an amazing artist as well as one of the brilliant student. You should have to go." Ana holding a cup of coffee gave a death glare and Eros just looked at her with confused expression.

"Since when did I become ARTIST?" Eros focused on word "artist" stressing it a bit more than needed.

"You are always my artist. Number 1 artist." Ana threw a flying kiss to her to which Eros laughed.

"Oh My God, My cheeks heating up with your compliments" Eros dramatically hid her face in her hands and broke down into wide smile. Both laughed for a small second before getting back to discussion.

"But Ana this is something huge, you know.. There are going to be many students including those who focused practicing paints since their childhood and I'm not sure whether I can compete those students or not?"

"Oh God, please tell me what to do with this girl?" Ana looked up sighing heavily then coming back to Eros. "This isn't Eros I used to know" She held her hand softly rubbing it in her palms with complete affection "Eros I know, is always ready to conquer the world and have a potential of turning impossible into possible. She knows how to fly even without wings. And she can never turn back without giving a shot to something." Ana smiled genuinely to which Eros could feel her eyes tearing up but she successfully held them back and smiled to Ana, pulling her in a strong hug.

"I'll do it Ana. I can"

This is why Eros chose Ana at the moments when she stop believing in good friendships. Ana always supported her emotionally and physically. They never had long detailed conversations often, but whenever they had one, they were always the best ones to Eros. They met unexpectedly on the first day when Ana transferred here and the very next day they were each other's peer for the presentation.

Eros applied for scholarship but back in her mind she believed that she isn't going to get this. The days passed smoothly and all that happen during these days was Eros listening to Eugene. She never knew when he will become an addiction of her and she felt empty on the days he had no shows. She was always attached to Jazz Music and have listened to many artist but Eugene.. He was different and she was in his complete spell-work. She wanted to know him like 'Who he is? Where he came from? Which world he belong to?' but all she knew about him was just his name and his music.

Diary Entry: Random thoughts

When you'll be back someday,

"I missed you" that's what I'll say!

Dated: 23-2-2021

Eros placed her diary on table and laid straight on her bed thinking 'If she could ever say this to him'. Suddenly her phone buzzed taking her back to planet.

"Ana?"

"Guess Eros what happened?"

"What?" Eros replied with the least interested tone.

"Make a guess!"

"Ana I'm not in a mood please."

"Then make up your mood babe. I have good news for you"

"For me" Eros got up from bed with the wide eyes. "What is that?"

"Eros you have been selected. Congratulations girl you did it"

Eros mouth hung open. She couldn't process what she heard and what Ana said. But in a very next moment she was hoping at her bed screaming with happiness.

"I never thought once in million that I'm going to get this scholarship. Though I applied But there was little chance of me getting this scholarship." Eros looked at the papers she received in complete disbelief.

"Hey! Now enough staring these papers. You should celebrate this moment. C'mon Its ok, I'll throw a party for you." Ana winked at her to which Eros grinned. "No, No, No. I'm the one who will throw party and you will enjoy. Don't under-estimate me." Both of the girls stood up making their ways out to Café.

Ana seemed happy more than Eros. On the other hand Eros was confused; this really happened? but also little smile was not leaving her soft pearly lips at the same moment. 'I made it here with her, I can't leave her' Eros sat in-front of Ana and watched her getting wasted on table after having 5 or may be 6 drinks she didn't notice the numbers. She just sat there and thought about all the good memories she had with Ana. It's sad that she had to leave her and to look for a new person to rely on. No, she can't trust anyone other than her. She remember the day, a senior bullied her and how Ana jumped in like a Wonder Woman and saved her. She also remember the days she skipped meals but then Ana cooking for her since Mia was out of the town with her aunt and brothers. She remember her early school friends bullying her, the reason she decided not to have any friend but end up with Ana who just changed her whole world.

"Thank You" Eros murmured patting her head with a sad smile to which Ana whined in her sleep. "Let's go home" Eros made her stand giving her support of her shoulder. Saying good bye to Ana was hardest but they promised to see each other in while and to hang out in their favorite café.

Things go pretty well and Eros made it to LACHSA. The first day at school was boring to her but she was amazed with the new world she met here. School was complete new picture of world that Eros always looked from far. Eros took no interest in seeing anyone and decided to take a tour of school. It was her perfect dream school.

"Do you have any idea where Eugene is?"

She stopped on her foot as she heard two male talking in the corridor. Her heart started beating faster, 'Eugene? Whom they are talking about... Him, It can't be him right?' Eros was in her thoughts when a girl bumped into her.

"I'm sorry" Eros bowed.

"You better" Her senior spoke with a complete hint of arrogance in her. "Aren't you supposed to be in your class? You're fresher, right?" She raised her brow to which Eros replied "Yes, I'm just going back to class" and bowed a little out of respect which she ignored and passed by.

Eros looked around but the male students were gone. 'I need to keep hold of myself' Eros sighed and moved back to her class.
