CHAPTER 5 : The encounter

knock..knock.....

"wake up darling.. ! "

bam.! bam..! bam..!

"lily...! "

'.....? '

"aren't you going to wake up? "

"Amm... .. wha...aat...? "

"how many times have I told you ,don't lock the door from inside.

come on now, wash up quickly and come down for breakfast.

your getting late for your important day. "

"...what time is it? "

"!!!"

"not again! "

It has been five years since I got here.

surprisingly I am doing well.

a little too well actually that i am getting lazy now.

it's so good to be rich!

it's my graduation today.

only I know how I have been living all these years in my college. counting each day to not get myself in trouble.

I have been trying to live like a dead rat but unfortunately it didn't work that well. because of this dame gorgeous appearance of mine. my face is the culprit.

***

I knew that lily's appearance was extraordinary but despite having a silver spoon in her mouth she was not that famous in her college in the original work. may be because of her trash personality?

But right after becoming lily myself, why were people giving me so much attention?

but I kind of get it because if I was at their place I would also look at lily's face twice before going ahead that's how beautiful this face is.

and even alphas were trying to approach me despite me being a beta.

At first I was slightly happy to get some attention but after some time it became quite berdonsm because leo and Louis were both my classmates and I didn't wanted get their attention.

Especially of Leo's attention.

I was afraid that if I got too much attention like Louis, I'll become next the target for leo to harase and it will be my end.

when I first entered the collage I saw Louis.

he was a very beautiful and cute looking omega with silver hair like moonlight and light green pupils.

he seriously deserves the main lead title!

he was giving a welcome ceremony speech.

after returning to our classroom many alphas were flocking around him like bees attracted to the honey.

it was no joke.

To my surprise Louis was living a peaceful life in the college.

means he was not bullied yet.

I wanted to be nice to everyone so I behaved quite friendly to others except leo and Louis.

I never approached them myself.

on the contrary I avoided them with all my might. I never even dated anymore because my focus was on surviving first.

but sometime I felt gazes of them both on me.

one time leo was even starring at me.

I always avoided eye contact with them.

then on some random day everything was going as usual. I was attending my lectures.

after the lecture ended, a classmate of mine approached me and said

"hey lily... "

"what? "

"someone is asking for you "

"for me?.... who? "

"amm... I can't recall his name, do you remember the omega with red hair .he is in our class. "I'm in hurry so then I'll get going ".

'... ! '

"hey..... hey.. stop! tell me the whole thing first! "

'No no no no..... '

'this can't be happening'

I thought to myself.

there were only two omegas in my whole batch, ....leo and Louis.

'if it's the red hair..... '

'.... means it is leo! '

I was so panicked.

'why? '

'I mean why the hell is he asking for me'

'after how much I have tried to avoid him.. '

'stay calm.. stay calm.. you got this'

'no..... I have to run away'

I told myself.

I hurriedly packed all my belonging from the table I was sitting before during the lecture and burst out through the door of the classroom to avoid leo.

I reached the corridor and immediately walked like running through the hallway to go home.

as I was walking very fast very that I wasn't even completely aware of surroundings.

due to that I suddenly bumped into someone and all my belongings scattered on the floor in the middle of the hallway.

as I was collecting them, I saw a red haired boy approaching in my direction.

I immediately lowered my head without making eye contact.

I was praying like crazy

'please don't come here.... please please pleeee.....ase...! '

'just pass by! '

'just pass by! '

'I'm not even here'

I didn't lift my head up out of fear.

after a moment as I was collecting my stuff, a shadow was casted on my body and heard

"hey "

"... !

"what are you doing here? "

".....

I wasn't able to talk.

the shadow suddenly disappeared and the next moment he was sitting on the floor a with me and helping me collect my stuff.

I was speechless.

I lifted my head up and I saw him staring at me straight into my eyes.

can't you talk?

"... blink"

"I am asking you a question. "

"Ahm... hu?.... I... I was ju..st..... "

I answered very hesitantly. I didn't know what to say.

"forget it, just get up first. "

"Um.. ok"

I got up . I was afraid that what was he gonna do with me.

but then I made up mind

'I haven't done anything to him'

'I have to be brave. now it's no use running away'

l knew that I had to face this situation someday.

so I asked him

"I heard you were asking for me..., why? "

"... "

"...? "

"Um.. that ..the professor told me if I had any problems with my practical exams I should ask you."

"what?.. "

"actually the truth is...I....wanted to be friends with you. "

he said with a shy and grumpy face.

whaaat? what's with the expression?

I was so confused by his answer. his voice had a slight hesitation.

'why would professor suggest my name to leo for guidance? '

although I was a bright student, i was never asked by professor to guide people and on the contrary leo wasn't someone who would be concerned about his study and definitely not someone who would make this kind of face.

Leo's behavior now wasn't matching his original behavior from the novel.

boom!

a sudden thought busted in my head.

'may be I shouldn't blindly relay on the original novel's information '
