On seeing that the girl was giving her a deadly gaze, Lina was about to speak when a handsome guy who was watching them argue from afar came to her rescue.
“Young lady, I don’t think your actions are appropriate, you are the one that bumped into this lady first.” The guy said as he scolded the girl that bumped into Lina.
“What does that have to do with you? Are you her accomplice?” The girl said as she raised her head to look at the intruder who interfered in her matter. Seeing the guy’s handsome face, she was dumbfounded that she didn’t know what to say for some seconds.
“Ahem”, she cleared her throat. The guy was so handsome that she didn’t know how to continue the argument. Leaving a good impression in front of the handsome guy was her first priority right now. Arguing with a bumpkin is not really necessary, she thought.
Seeing the girl with a ferocious look just now turned into a shy girl, Lina was surprised. She had not even seen the person that came to her rescue. The guy was standing behind her as he defended her.
She just knew that it was a male due to his voice. Is he some scary demon or some powerful personnel in this place that makes this girl blush and lose her composure? She asked herself. Turning her back to face the guy, she was also dumbfounded. Their eyes met each other as she turned to look at him.
“How can someone be so handsome?” That was her first thought. It’s not that she hadn’t seen a handsome guy before, it’s just that this guy gave her some feelings she couldn’t express.
“Hi”, the guy said to her as she looked at him. He said with a dashing smile on his lips. Lina thought she would get blinded by the light shining from his smile. How can someone as handsome as him smile at her? This was the first time a guy smiled at her since she started dressing as a country bumpkin.
“What a conniving bitch. How dare she seduce a man in front of me. He hadn’t even smiled at me but he smiled at this country bumpkin first. It’s like his taste is so poor that he will smile at someone like her.” The girl gritted her teeth as she thought about this within herself. I will make her pay for this next time, she promised herself before leaving the place they were standing.
Lina and the guy did not even know when she left. “Hey, what are you daydreaming about?” This question brought Lina back to the present. “Oh boy, it’s like I’m in love,” she said to herself as she stared at him.
“Hi, my name is Lina Robert, I’m a new student in this school. I’ve just gotten admitted a month ago, she said to him with a smile on her lips.
“Wow, that’s a nice name you have there.” This statement makes Lina blush. “Let me introduce myself, my name is Daniel Frederick, a final year student. Hearing him said he was a final year student makes Lina uncomfortable. Nonetheless, she still composes herself.
“Hi senior, nice meeting you.” She said as she stretched out her hand. He stared at those hands for a few seconds before shaking it firmly. Lina doesn’t know maybe it was her imagination, but she felt he scratched the back of her hand before removing his. This makes her blush unknowingly.
“Ahem,”she coughed out to hide the awkwardness. “Thanks for helping me out just now, senior.”
“That’s not a problem, I just interfered because I saw the other girl is intentionally picking up on you. You are not familiar with the school yet right?” Lina nodded at his question. “Let’s go, I will show you around.”
“Okay but before then, I would like you to show me the admission office first. I have to submit my admission letter.” Lina said while fumbling her hands. Seeing her behaving shyly, he chuckled, “no problem, I will take you there.”
They left together for the admission office. After she submitted her admission form, he showed her around the school and got her calling number before waving her goodbye.
Since then, they have become friends. After finding out later they are studying the same course which is business administration, their friendship becomes deeper. Anytime she doesn’t understand any topics, she always goes to him to explain to her.
Their friendship becomes more interesting when they find out they fell in love with each other. Lina was the first person to confess her feelings to him one sunny afternoon. She feared he would reject her since he was graduating soon, and she was the least attractive girl pursuing him on campus.
Due to his handsome face, he was the school heart-throb. Girls are always showing interest in him, they always give him letters, flowers, and gifts. She thought he would not accept her proposal, but unfortunately he accepted.
She can’t describe what she felt that day, she was so happy that if she had wings, she would fly to show how happy she was.
They started going out. Even though she still dressed like a bumpkin, Daniel didn’t mind. He tolerated all her mischief even though she already explained why she dressed like that to him.
He had seen her without her glasses before, but that doesn’t mean she was pretty in his eyes without dressing up. They both started visiting each other at home. They introduced their family members to each other, but Lina’s mistake was introducing Daniel to her step sister. That was when Daniel’s behaviour started changing.
