**
Monday started like every other bustling weekday.... With noise!
I groaned as I buried my head in my pillow, trying to get more sleep.
But, my room mates and besties had sworn not to let me.
"Wake up Alex, we've got an early class today ". I heard Tanya say as I felt something like a hard pillow hit my back.
I struggled to keep my eyes open.
I hated Monday mornings. I really did!
I got up with a rather splitting headache, threw some few pain killer pills into my mouth and took my bath.
It was Monday, so I was going to have really serious classes.. Which also meant I had to dress up.. Seriously.
I put on a black skirt and yellow long sleeved chiffon top, buttoned up to my neck. My hair was in its usual pony tail and my glasses right where it belonged.. My eyes..
I remembered I also had practical classes in the afternoon time so I rushed to get my lab coat from the laundry room.
It was going to be a normal day for me..
Like every other boring and slow Monday..
Or so I thought.

Lucas POV

If anything had caused me to open my eyes, it was the scorching ray of sunlight on my face.
I sprang up, resting my head on my bedframe.
My eyes managed to dart to my alarm clock..
7:45
And today was?
Damn!!
Monday!!
I flung my duvet away from my legs as I rushed to the bathroom.
My bath was short and refreshing and I couldn't be happier.
I was getting a tutor today.
I felt my countenance change at the thought.
I took a feel breath in and out.
"Relax Lucas Cage, it can't be so hard"
I tried to tell myself..
It will just be an hour session.. Nothing more..
I swore to make sure I let the President know that.
I hung my Nike strap bag over my shoulder as I left my room, locking the door behind me.

Alex POV

Human Anatomy class was the best, as usual.
Our professor was such a nice lady and an intelligent one as well.
But her classes only lasted for two hours, after which we were sent to another class.
But today, before I stepped out of the class, she called me.
"Miss Court"I heard her call.
I nodded as I walked up to her.
"Yes, professor"
She looked at me thoughtfully, as if taking a mental note of something.
Then she said, "You're needed in the President's office, immediately "
I just looked at her, twice as confused as I was when she called me.
"Pr.. Pr.. President? "
I was shocked!
The President of Beverely college had never, ever asked me to see him?
What could I have done?
I nodded nervously.. Visibly shaking as I made my way to the President's office.

"Your tutor will be here in less than an hour Mr Cage, so do exercise patience"
A staff said as he led me to the reserved e-libary.
I nodded as I watched him walk away.
Fuck him!
So they thought I was dumb-ass loser right?
I'll show them. And their stupid ass tutor..
They'll see!
I continued to draw circles with the closed tip of my pen as I waited patiently for my tutor.

I smiled nervously as she sat at the other end of the table.
"Miss Alexander Court,I have received quite impressive remarks from your lecturers about you. I must say I'm impressed"
He said, with a broad smile.. Which looked.. Real.
"Thank you , Sir"
Was all I could say.
He nodded, relaxing against his chair.
"So, I have a job for you Miss Court"
Job??
I already had one!
"Sir.. "
"And you are not allowed to object"
He stated matter-of-factly.
I swallowed hard and smiled,
"Ofcourse sir"
"Good"
He said, smiling again as he pushed a file to my side of the table.
"You'll start now, and you have to tutor a student of mine. Its very important he graduates with at least a second class. Plus, he's stubborn, so your pay is worth it I guess"
Tutor??
I was to teach my fellow final year student!
Like.. Seriously??
How could someone be so dumb. The results in my hands were an abomination.
Whoever he was, he needed rescuing.. Immediately!
"Your student is at the e-libary, he must be waiting... I'm counting on you Miss Corona"
I nodded as I stood up to leave.
"Thank you, Sir"
He returned my nod and returned his gaze to his laptop.
I sighed as I left his office.

No one's POV

She found herself cursing as she walked past the librarian without saying a word.
Her eyes met Lucas.. In a library!!
She almost laughed. Instead she walked quietly to him..
"If it isn't the great Lucas Cage"
She almost froze as those beautiful blue eyes looked up at her.
Those pale lips parting for a smile.
"Ugly, what brings you here? "
She scoffed, "I'm a reader Cage "
Then her eyes narrowed at him.
"What are you doing here? "
She continued.
He stared at her, then let out a slight chuckle.
"I'm here to meet some tutor "
He said, looking around.
She laughed.. "What a coincidence.. I'm here to meet someone I'm to.... "
That was when it registered in her thick skull....
The person she was to tutor was him!
Lucas Cage!
Her eyes suddenly met the results in her hands..
"Gray Lucas Cage"
Her hands suddenly began to shake.. She couldn't do this!
"Is there an issue Ugly? "
She heard him say.
Her eyes shot up at him..
"Lucas.. No.. "

Writer POV **He had woken up to an email from his school. He sighed as his sleepy eyes met the grey coloured laptop on his reading desk.He had been lying down on his bed -torn between getting up to jog and allowing himself another three hours of sleep- when he heard the beeping sound.He groaned as he sat up on his bed , stretching his arms and yawning. Standing up, he staggered to the wooden desk at the distal end of the room where his mirror stood. He drew out the chair and fell on it.He typed his password when he was instructed to and the bright home screen of his laptop was brought to view."A mail from my school?" He said aloud , as his hands raked through his dark hair.Yes!It was already time for his results to be released and the mail was a notification

Writer POV**The white man with the grey eyes was what Pionee had called him. Alexander remembered how she had almost laughed her lungs out at the name.She had only met him once , at Hayley's house and she hadn't taken time to give him much as a second look before she stormed out in tears.But now, Pionee had just received a call that he'll be managing the store from now on. Hayley was currently , indisposed."I thought he has a job"Alexander stated , she couldn't believe their old cheerful Hayley would be replaced by her grandson."He does , that's why he'll only need around on weekends , Fridays to Sundays"Pionee looked away from the telephone to the cash book .Alexander sighed as she looked around the store. "I just hope she gets well soon you know"Her sad eyes looked down , focused on the brown carpet . "I miss her" she continued.

Lucas POV**I sat quietly in the hall , my pen on my desk by the side of my booklet.I looked up at the clock , ten minutes past three.I sighed as I stretched on my seat , twenty minutes more and it will all be over.I relaxed on the seat . The past one hour had been really tough.I looked down at my booklet again , I had worked really hard on this , studied till late at night , researched , met my lecturers , done all I could possibly do to pass all tests throughout this week.I hadn't showed up at the basketball court or at any club , I could only pray it'll pay off , I was confident as well.I just wanted to make my father proud of me. He needed to know I was good for something , I was his son after all."Okay students , pens up"I heard Professor White say , as he walked towards us.I watched as students gave their booklets to him.He smiled at three of his favourite students be

Writer POV **Alexander groaned as slowly opened her eyes to see the two females that meant the world to her sitting by her side ,pillows in their hands as they smiled ."What is it with you two?"She complained , rubbing her eyes with her palms and stretching."Can't a lady get some sleep around here?"She continued , glaring at the them.They just stared at her with baby eyes , like children who's favourite toys had just been snatched.Alex couldn't hold her laugh back.She knew why they had woken her up ."Won't you at least let me shower before giving y'all the juicy gist?"She asked , smiling at them.Tanya looked at Rayla , she could tell they were having a silent conversation about it.And when they finally agreed , Tanya spoke up"Okay , I guess we can manage that "They all laughed as Alex stood up from her bed.

Ugly and the prince Cheers to the future
Lucas POV**It wasn't easy pulling away from her, from all of what might have happened.I could have just continued, Alex would have surely let me. I knew!But something in me told me there was more to dates than making out and having - most times - casual sex.You could get to know each other better, become great friends,share thoughts , heartfelt opinions , eat together, so many things.Where had this voice of reasoning been all my life?As she took my hand to rise from the bed, her eyes never left mine .She must be wondering , thinking .She would never understand how special she was to me.Even I didn't understand."Dinner is served"I said , leading her to a table for two prepared in another room of Ariana.This one was dimly lit, a mixture of red and deep blue lights.I could see neon posters all over the room, with

Alex POV **It was just five minutes to eight .I stood in the red dress Tanya and Rayla had practically forced on me.I had to say,I did look pretty.My dark hair was made to fall in front of only my left shoulder,adorned with an equally red hair clip.Rayla did a good job with my make-up.It wasn't so loud,but I was pretty enough to blush at my very own image.I couldn't wait for Lucas to see me like this.I looked down at my red heels.Although I had insisted on flats due to my height,Tanya heard none of it .She had said I couldn't ruin the perfect outfit with flat shoes.What did I know?I agreed."Nervous much?"I heard Tanya say as she sat on a stool close to me.I couldn't deny it.I was a nervous wreck.I sighed,bring
