Chapter 1: The Dream.

In a dorm room, there was a handsome looking young man sleeping. Suddenly a phone starts ringing waking the young man up.

"aah…" the young man grunted softly trying to reach his phone just to end up falling to the ground.

After picking up the call without even looking he said "who is it?"

An angry yet sweet voice came from the phone "I knew you were still asleep!!"

"It's you, Noelle." said the young man with an anxious tone.

"It's already 8:15, hurry up I'm waiting for you at the university gate." replied Noelle.

"Okay." confirmed the young man before hanging up.

"Damn it, I'm too late" said the young man hurriedly before rushing to the toilet.

At the university gate stood a charmingly beautiful girl with long black hair and deep blue eyes.

"Dude, look at how gorgeous that girl is" a guy said to his friend.

"Right, right" the friend replied "should I approach her?"

If this was anime, their eyes would've already turned into hearts.

"What are you staring at you idiots?" The young woman replied fiercely.

"Forget it, she's out of our league" the guy told his friend.

"Fierce as always huh?" A familiar sound reached her ears.

"You're late, idiot" said the girl while turning her head to see the young man approaching her.

"I love you too" replied the young man with a smile.

"Come here, look at your collar it's messed up" she said while fixing his collar.

"I don't need to look good, I already have the most beautiful girl ever" he replied with a charming smile.

"Stop with the sweet talk and let's go, we're late to class" she pulled his arm and walked hurriedly.

They reached the classroom at 8:35 only to find that the professor still did not come.

"Heeh, the love birds finally came" said a person with a plain looking features.

"Stop calling us that, Salah" said Noelle while staring at him.

"But it is true, my birdy" said the young man closely to her ear.

"What a cringe thing to say, Riyadh" said the girl with a hint of redness but she hid it quickly.

First Person POV

Riyadh Moori, that's my name I'm an English language major at this shitty university in this shitty city.

I grew up loving football dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and representing my country which I see as a pride.

[Man, how many times did I imagine myself scoring a last minute goal in the world cup final.]

"Riyadh, you'll come tonight right?" Salah asked to which I replied "of course I will."

"Where are you going?" Noelle asked me with a skeptic look.

"What? You don't know?" I said with a questioning gaze.

"Tonight is the final match of the AFCON group stage" said Salah with an excited look on his face.

"Yes, tonight our country Algeria will play against Mauritania to decide if we will advance or not" I said "we'll watch it together at a café"

"Hmm, I don't care but I think they'll lose." Noelle said with a disinterested look.

"Haah no way, it'll be an easy win. We were the champions in the AFCON before the last one. The other team doesn't have a chance." Salah proudly replied to her assumption.

Just before I could say anything the professor entered the classroom and started the lesson.

After a boring morning filled with lessons, we finally got to leave this shitty university.

"Hey Noelle, wait for me here I'll go smoke a cigarette then come back to you." I told her then I hurried away.

"At least listen to my reply, idiot" I heard her yelling just to turn back and say "I'm sorry, my BIRDY!!"
