"A Person of Interest"

[Abi's POV]

"Hey didn't your wound healed quickly", I walked along with him and we left the couples all alone. Gianna left early cause she got a guest at her house.

" So what you wanted me to be like your little boyfriend who got all broken", He kicked a stone firmly and strolled ahead to me.

"Hey watch your mouth. He is no longer my boyfriend", I screamed at him and he got stopped in the middle of the path.

He turned to me and I walked towards him.

" When? Why? What happened?" He showered questions on me.

"Hey take it easy. I will answer one by one. Relax man", I gave an assurance to him.

" Okay then start", He ordered me.

"You know what happened at the party and after that, I broke up with him because I can't stand a lie and cheater cocks", I explained to him, clenched fist.

"I got it. He didn't deserve you. He is just a scumbag", He provided me characteristic of Nate.

" What about you? I mean.. You know Olivia", I could not control my mouth and dare to inquire about him.

"Olivia? Oh! She is extremely marvelous. The cute little kitten, who can bite anyone for her loved one", He smiled as if he is imagining Olivia.

" Cute kitty? My foot", I mumbled.

"What... did you said anything?", He frowned.

" No... Nothing. Why we left them alone in the restaurant?", I diverted the topic of bloody Olivia.

"Don't you know. Never be the third wheel", He knocks my temple.

" Ouch", I cried and caressed my temple. "It hurts don't dare to knock it", I warned him.

"Sorry I took you as Olivia", He said in a sweet smile.

" Took me as Olivia", My subconsciousness snatched her hair.

We were walking quietly, to avoid silence I broke it.

" By the way, what did you mumbled to Olivia in the cafeteria that she instantly got leaned on you", I tried to find the truth.

"Ohh that... it's our private affairs", He responded making eye contact with me.

" So...You people had that type of private affairs", I air quoted it.

"Calm your horses we are not in that kind of private affairs", He yelled and explained to me.

" Okay", I got relief to hear that.

"Olivia is a crazy girl but sweet as a desert", He described her.

" Then why don't you ask her to accompany you. One more thing I Am Not A OLIVIA", I yelled on his face and took a heavy hustle step to the restaurant.

"Hey wait, Abi", He shouted following me but I didn't get stopped.

" Mothertrucker", My subconsciousness cursed him.

Next day at the college.

"Hey, you know Ethan will be playing today. Even Paul too", The girls at the corridor were discussing and all flushing.

" Oh My God both are the handsome personality. I will die if I watch them shirtless", Another girl responded and acted to faint.

"Morons", I mumbled to my subconscious.

" Yup but fucking morons", She made a correction to my swear.

All my friends were so fucking excited that they skipped the lectures and went to the basketball court of our rival college. I, the poor girl was writing all the notes. I was getting down the staircases. My cellphone got rang. It was Gianna.

"Heeeelloooo Abi", She shouted.

"Can't you speak slow why shouting so loud?" I asked her.

"There is a lot of noise going in the place. Can you get snacks for us as per your choice", She requested. " Come fast or else you will miss and opportunity to see the hot players", She advised me.

" Okay, I will. See you", I hung up.

The whole college was empty and I heard the voice of Tyler calling me out.

"Abi", Tyler called.

" Yes", I turned to him and got bumped again.

"Can't you see and walk you always get bumped into me", I scolded him.

"Apologies. Are you going to the basketball competition?" He asked.

"Yes", I answered promptly.

" Okay then let us go jointly even I am going for the same", He offered me a Drop service and headed before me.

I followed his steps and got into the car. The car which is similar to mine and we drive off. After a minute he stopped the car near a restaurant, he signaled me to get down and we went inside it.

"Don't you getting late because I heard that you are also a participate", I questioned while taking our seats.

" Yeah but we have an hour to go we can have our breakfast and since morning I am hungry", He made a pity face.

"Even I am hungry a lot like a monster", I thought in my head.

"Don't eat much control your lust for foods you really have a huge appetite so be careful while eating", My subconsciousness lectured me.

Meanwhile, I was in discussion with my subconsciousness the food has already arrived and it was none other then CHICKEN. He served me the chicken soup, chicken breast, chicken noodles, chicken sandwich, chicken pizza, chocolate, and ice cream. I took one bite of it and my heart got enlightened.

" Tyler you are an angel without wings", I said to my subconsciousness and she tapped her forehead with her hand.

"How's it?", He asked while taking a chunk of chicken in his mouth.

" It's taste good", I responded elegantly.

"I always prefer these restaurants for chicken", He mentioned it.

" Okay", I was busy eating.

"So who all are there in your family", He questioned while drinking juice.

" My mom is an interior designer, dad is an accountant in an organization. We shifted here because of him but he got a promotion in another city with good maintenance", I answered and ate simultaneously. "What about you?", I inquired about him.

" Dad is a teacher in another university, mom is a housewife, elder brother is also a teacher of the same university as my dad, and younger brother he is studying in high school from another university. That's it", He completed.

But how did he afford this expensive car? I am wondering.

"Wondering how I am driving such an expensive car?", He announced the thought about what I was having while making eye contact and made me feel embarrassed.

Did I think that loud?

" It's a gift from Paul. He is my childhood friend. So I am not sure whether he gifted me out of friendship or sympathy", He looked down sadly.

"Don't worry. Nobody looks at you with sympathy because you are talented. In fact many girls like you", I felt bad about him and squeezed his hand. He reciprocated the same and shook his head. I took my hand away.

" But Blaire she doesn't like me", He concluded.

"No, she not... Like that. She like you... Very much", I said instantly to cover up Blaire's hatred.

I was so busy in his talk that I didn't release when the soup got finished from the bowl. He noticed that and served me more.

" No no no thanks I am done", I said.

"Abi it's expensive, so you can... understand", His expression changed from carefree Tyler to pitiful Tyler. I shook my head in agreement.

We finished our breakfast which was yummy and got back to the track for basketball. I watched a store and asked him to stop so that I can get snacks for my friends. We were getting near to our destination I asked him to stop at the second entrance of the ground to avoid the attack from the fans of Tyler. He listened to me and halted the car where I asked him to stop. He dropped me and speeded a car away. I got inside the basketball court and handed a snack bags to my friends. No no, I was not late I was on time. In the background, girls were only chasing and applauding for Tyler. I looked back to see and watched Olivia sitting with a girl which I found similar to her.

" Why did you come late?", Blaire questioned and ate her dried mango.

"Got stuck in the middle of the personal things", I lied to them and tossed barbecue cashews.

" Shh", Gianna kept a finger on her lips and silence us and she ate the roasted almond.

Samantha was busy eating pecans. She bloody didn't dare to care.

We all were looking into the match and was praying that our college should win. The scores of the opposite college were somehow close to us. The match was on and then the referee gave a seven minutes break to the players. We watched Tyler coming towards the audience fence. I thought he will go towards Olivia. But he made my thought wrong and to our surprise, he sat beside me. I and my friends got stunned but to cover up we tried looking around.

"What you doing tonight?", He questioned was kneeling.

" Nothing... Sleeping", I answered and strumbled.

"So don't sleep tonight", He smirked and kept a hand on my chair.

" Huh?", I knitted my eyebrows and pop out my eyes.

Gianna kept a hand on her mouth.

"Ahem Ahem", Samantha cleared her throat.

"I think there is a vacant seat can you shift", He requested while kneeling on the floor.

I nudge to Gianna, she nudged to Samantha, she forcefully nudged to Blaire. We made a seat for him to sit.

" I mean...", He caressed his temple. "Tonight... we will be throwing a party for our victory", He stated a reason in confidence.

"But how can you be sure that you will be the winner?", I asked looking at him in confusion.

But the time got up and he went back to the area. The match reached its last moment and... Holding our breathes it was a scoooreee. Everyone in the court screamed. The players were happy and hugged each other except Tyler because he was busy hugging girls.

Due to happiness, every player from our college removed his t-shirts. They topped their t-shirts up and threw them far away. They were all screaming in joyous and that duration I glanced at Paul he had a tattoo on his chest. It has a snake around the arrow. Another moment later, Tyler pours a bottle of water on his face which was dripping down to his well-toned body which is olive in color, popped up chest, eight abs and well-flexed muscles. He ran his hand through his hair and the tattoed inked in dark color caught my attention. It has a Tribal Scorpion on his biceps.

The girls shouted in excitement and crowded him.
