Noah's pov

I was in my room, trying to finish my chemistry homework for the past three hours but for some reason all I could think of was about Eve. The way her brown eyes met mine. She seemed so delicate, like a flower untouched. But I, somewhat had this urge of wanting to destroy that innocence of hers. I ain't no saint and I have no hesitation in saying that. It's like she had somehow imprinted herself on my mind as an afterimage of something divine. Creepy it might seem to anyone, I bet.

Knowing i was too distracted to get the task done, I got ready for another tough and eventful night.

Eve Pov

I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing and slimed as I woke up. It's finally my favourite day of the week, Monday (yeah, I know monday morning's aren't anyone's forte and honestly, you guys can judge me all you want but in my defence, monday's are like new beginnings. Like a new chapter to a book. Refreshing). I finally came to my senses and noticed that I was fucking naked!?. Instantly, recalling last night's events, i blushed. It was one hell of a night. Just then, my phone pinged and it's a text, a text from none other than the stalker himself.

"Morning sweetheart. I hope u had a good sleep".

Instead of replying to him, I just smiled and waved my hand. Finally, I stood up to follow my morning routine. Then, I got dressed in the most basic outfit known to man kind; a black hoodie with a blue denim skirt.

Going downstairs, I noticed that no-one was up yet so very silently, I picked up an apple from the fruit basket left the house. Having walked little further from my house, I felt a gaze piercing through my body, boring holes through my skin and soul, like I always do. After what felt like a decade, I finally reached my college. Phew, I sighed, preparing myself for yet another boring day. And then I saw Oli and Ben at the gate, waiting for me. I literally skipped towards them, like kangaroo. Just when I hade one more step left to take, I felt my phone vibrate through my skirt. I reached my phone and read-

"My heart sinks watching you skip away from me. Who are they to deserve that smile of yours, love?" it said.

Cliche but sweet. I laugh at the text as i approached my friends. Ben asked to me the reason of my toothy smile and I just shrugged my shoulders to the statement. The bell rang and we headed towards the first class for the day.

Time passed by and finally lunchtime, the one and only time everybody loves irrespective of their stream or semester. We took our lunches and moved towards our table (not 'ours' but we usually sit there so it's kinda our spot now) but something seemed off about the vibe today.

Not even 10 minutes into lunch, Alex approached our table (Alex- short for Alexander. Let me give you a brief introduction of him. First, there wouldn't be one bad think you could think of that he isn't involved in. He's the famous 'heartbreaker' of the college and probably has changed more girls than the amount of times he has changed his bed sheet. Also, he is committed to Emmila. Everybody knows it's all show, a mere facade yet they are called the "power couple" or some shit. Oh and one more thing, the asshole for some reason, to my dismay, is interested in me. Too bad because I would rather let a dog bite me a thousand times over than opening my legs for him because rabies is definately better than std, and that too from him).

Standing next to my chair he said- "Hey sweetheart" and looked at me grinning. I almost choked on my cola. (Never has he ever approached me before and trust me, it was way easier to survive that way). A message popped on my phone that very instant and I already knew who it was from. I opened the text, totally ignoring Alex who was just beside me. The text read-

"My love, you might have already guessed so but just to put it out there, I absolutely hate this boy. Who even is he to stand that close to you darling?".

I let out a chuckle, gaining everybodies attention towards our table. Embarrassed enough, I apologised and started to text him back.

[in the mean time Alex has somehow arranged a seat right next to me]

"His name is Alex. And don't worry, I amn't a big fan of his either"

"Though it's a little funny how possesive you get sometimes"

"No offence, I like it"

He replied back almost immediately-

"I would never take offence to anything you say Mia cara"

"and trust me, 'possessive' doesn't do justice to describe the way I feel about you"

Not knowing what to reply back, I took a moment and came up with the perfect escape plan.

"Could you call me you? You don't have to say anything, I just need a reason to get out of this situation here."

A minute later, I got a call from him. I excused myself, just like how I wanted it to go and left the cafeteria. Through the silence, I spoke-

" You dont have to say a thing if you don't want to. I can feel your gaze on me all the time"

Hearing a chuckle from the other end i continued-

"Thanks. I hate being around Alex because I know that he just wants to get in my pants"

I heard a groan from the other end,

"Haa, I hate him with all my will so don't worry. I'm gonna leave now. I'm done for the day. Anyways, who am I even informing. You are going to be very much aware about where I'm going or what I'm going to do."

He chuckled again-

"Soooo.... byee. What bye? no bye cause you ain't leaving me alone anytime soon. See yaa, oh no see ya. Only you can see me. I'm just gonna end the call now". I ended the call blabbering, embarrassing myself yet again. I have informed my friends about me leaving first and took off.

Sometime time later-

I finally got home and did my back home routine which included a shower, eating my favourite snacks and listening to music. After a while, I decided to sleep because why not? That's apparently the only thing left now that we don't have to pay a taxes for. I cleaned up my messy room a little and went to sleep.
