MasukLucas POV
**
I walked the hallway in silence as Patrick and few others searched for the bitch that had dared to insult me!.
Word went about that she was ugly, which made my revenge much easier.
"We dont see her Lucas"
Patrick said, when we had finally scanned the entire hallway.
I sighed in frustration.
This girl, whoever she was, could not run forever. I swore to deal with her and was hell bent on doing that.
"Word has it she's a medical student, we should probably just hang around the library, they go there a lot"
Another guy said. Patrick gave a nod and turned to me for approval.
I wasn't going to sit around some place waiting for some girl to appear. She wasn't worth it.
I shook my head as a sign for no.
Raking my hands through my dark and silky hair.
"She'll run into me when we least expect, I'm not sitting around waiting for her.. "
I searched my pocket for my phone. "She's not worth it"
I continued, walking out of the hall.
I didn't look back, but I know they followed me behind. They always did.
How was I going to get the bitch to run into me in a school of over one thousand students. I was going to have to find a way to draw her closer, without she or anyone knowing.
Suddenly, a bright idea lit up like a bulb in my brain. I smiled wryly as I turned to Patrick. He looked at me and I gave him a sign to dismiss the rest and come closer, which he did.
"What is it Lucas? "
He asked, I smiled and placed a hand on his left shoulder.
"Get ready, we're having a party tonight" I said, smiling.
He just stared at me, like I was stupid.
"What? "
"We are having a party tonight. If that's the only way I can make that bitch run innocently into my arms. I would do it"
He continued to look at me, clearly wondering what had gone wrong with his best friend.
I turned away from him and continued to walk.
"Get the girls and spread the word"
I yelled from where I stood, so he could hear me. He nodded and continued to walk, while I stood by the library doors.
Ugly..... We're going to meet again this night.

Alex POV

"You're so coming with us tonight"Tanya said, dragging me to the Shopping complex.
"Do I have to? "I grumbled.
"Yes you do"
Rayla added, with her mouth full of cheese balls.
"You've been working on that Anatomy project for so long, you're done. And you did so well the professor had to ask you to partner with her in her research, at least that deserves celebration"
Tanya added.
She made a lot of sense. The problem wasn't going to the party. The problem was that the host was Lucas Cage!
He was going to be there. What if he remembered me?
I sighed and turned to Rayla.
"Its Lucas Cage's party we're talking about here"I complained.
"And he invited us, Lucas is the son of one of the most influential men in the state. We shouldn't waste this free invitation for nothing, should we? "
Tanya asked and Rayla shook her head as a sign for no.
I gave up, they had won!
I decided to go to the party and also stay ten feet away from anywhere close to Lucas Cage!
But something about everything didn't feel right.
He was insulted by a girl last night. And today a party?
Something was'nt right..
Was this whole party thing a trap to get the girl?
But if he knew who I was, he could always catch me in class.
Why host a party?
But what if it was just an innocent act of celebration?
Celebrating what?
I sighed, it was enough.
I was going to attend.. And stay ten feet away from Lucas Cage!
Nothing less.. But could be more if the need arose.
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. Throwing her
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
