CHAPTER TWO

CHAPTER TWO

*DAISY*

I woke up startled from another nightmare, I seem to be having them a lot these days, and it's been three years since we had an encounter with the wolves but that night still hunt my dream, I keep dreaming of that night and the wolf that saved me. I can still remember it as if it happened last night, I remember that beautiful white wolf that shines even in the dark, I remember that black stipe it has on it tails that should have ruined its beautiful white but instead complement it wonderfully. Even if I forget everything else, I could never forget its beautiful blue eyes, it looks like two circles drawn inside each other, and the outer blue is brighter than the inner blue, the inner blue look closer to grey. The blue eyes flicker from blue to gold, like a light reflection, I can't really tell why I felt drawn to it, even after all these years.

I got out of bed and start my daily routine, I can't let the wolf consume my day again, I washed the plates I used last night and decided to cook before heading to class. I'm telling you, being a college student is not easy, it's where you learn to be responsible for yourself, I'm at my final year at School of Nigeria, and I'm majoring in Literary Art. I love reading novels and comics and I want to be an author myself, I want to pen down my own ideas too. I've written four books and published two of them on Amazon, I have two uncompleted on Booknet. My current one is about My Mysterious Alpha Wolf, it's about my dream wolf whom I named Alpha, and he reminds me of the Alpha wolves I always read about. It is my first supernatural book so it's taking longer than I originally thought.

I quickly got dressed and head out, my faculty is having a joint lecture with the other Faculty of Art from another School from the neighbouring city, and we will be going for a state competition. I am so excited to see them, especially a particular student, Victor Kings, he is an artist who is also in his final year, and he has been my idol for a while. He make realistic drawings and paintings that I like, he usually base his work on nature, which is why he's my idol, I love nature, they're beautiful and peaceful. I love peace. I wish I could paint but I really suck at it, I can make few sketches, but it always look like a mocking version of what I'm trying to paint. Although I can't paint, I love people who can, my departmental friend Esther, is an artist herself, although Esther's work can't be considered perfect, she's really good, she mostly make portrait painting, I have a lot of her paintings in my room. So does Bimpe, our other friend, everyone who knows Esther has at least one of her paintings, if you don't, she'll consider you her enemy until you get one. While Bimpe is a super shy girl who prefer to be invisible in the crowd, Esther is the kind of person that'll stand at a podium and scream her name for everyone to know. That's how she sell most of her paintings, she can paint more with her mouth than her hand, and she's really good at marketing, while Bimpe is a writer like me but she's more based on horror and crime books. Tobi and Stella are more of a hostel friends from faculty of Science unlike Esther and Bimpe who share the same interest as me.

In my hurry to get to the hall to take a front roll, I bumped into someone and their books scattered all over the floor. Oh God, what have I done?

"I'm so sorry, I was in a hurry" I apologized quickly and pick up the books without looking at the owner.

I can tell it's a guy from the pair of legs in front of me. In one of the sheets I picked up, there is a perfect painting of a sunset with a tree view in the way, it almost look like a photograph. I was so captivated I decided to look at the owner only to be met with a pair of eyes that took the breadth out of me, it is the same blue eyes that has been hunting my dreams for the past three years. My mind enter silent mode, I couldn't process anything else at the moment, I just stared at the eyes like I'm expecting him to turn into the wolf I remember but it never happened.

"Do you mind handing over my books?" The guy asked after few seconds of me staring at him without any word

He must think I'm crazy or maybe he thinks I'm checking him out, I mean he's hot, from his skin colour and his curly hair, I can tell he's an half cast. He's about six feet two inches tall, he wore a black leather trouser and jacket, under the jacket is a black V-neck shirt that he complement with a black Canvas and a round hat he wore on his head, it looks like Kiss Daniel kind of hat.

"Uhm ... Right, I … uhm… never mind, here. I'm sorry again" I stutter while I snap out of day dream and hand him his books

I saw a little smirk on his face as I check him out from head to toe, I almost pass out in embarrassment, I never check people out this much or so obviously. It's all his fault for looking like my wolf.

"It's nothing, by the way, do you know the way to Art Hall?" he asked with a deep voice that looks like he's purposely trying to seduce me, it send chills all over my body. He must be used to commanding people a lot, I can tell from the way he speak, he gives off the bad boy vibe. I won't be surprise if he have a bike, he looks like a biker.

"Art Hall?" I asked a bit surprised

"Yea, that where the time table state"

"Are you here for the Art competition?" I asked curiously

"Yes I am, so do you know where it is?" he asked in an almost annoyed tone, his face is a bit scrunch up in between his eyes.

"Yes I do, I'm actually on my way there, do you mind if I bring you along?"

"Of course not, thanks"

"It's no problem"

"I'm Victor by the way"

"Daisy, nice to meet you"

No one utter a single word after that, I want to make a conversation maybe ask him if he knew any wolf but that'll be strange and I don't think he wants to talk anyway so I just keep my mouth shut.
