WHEN THEY MET FOR THE FIRST TIME

ISABELLA POV:

Good morning Dad, today I need all your love and blessings, please I just hope my final exam goes well, you already know everything Dad, mom is doing her best to keep our bakery shop, but the competition is increasing day by day and people are coming very less in our shop. I hope I can get a job soon and support mom.

"Bella again you are standing in front of your Dad's portrait and going on talking, have you forgotten baby, today is your last exam?"

No mom, you know I talk every day with Dad but today is a really special mom, finally, I am going to graduate. I can finally help you mom, I want to get a job soon.

"My baby is so mature, you don't have to take so much pressure, Bella, I am managing, but ya nowadays our sales are very low baby, I am thinking to get a new cook.

Don't worry mom, give me a few more days, I will soon start applying for jobs.

I kissed her cheeks and went down in search of my favorite person, my granny,

Hey grandma,

"Hi baby, are you ready to score 100 today?"

I don't know that granny but I will surely give my best.

"Oh my baby, I know you will surely do your best. Now come and let's have our breakfast, I have made your favorite chocolate pancakes."

Oh, granny, I love you, thank you so much.

Mom I am done, I am leaving now,

"Ok baby is safe, and best of luck with your exam."

By granny, by mom.

I finally ran towards the local bus stop and got into the bus, please GOD I just wish to score well and get a job soon.

Finally, my college came into view, as I entered my compound I started getting so many memories,

How I was bullied the very first day because of my clothes and shoes, how my classmates used to call me a charity case every day, because I got a 100 percent scholarship for my college fees due to my hard work, how I met my best friend LILY JOHNSON here, she was my savior from the very first moment we met, I never had any friend before LILY, because I was always lost in my romance novels and nobody nowadays wants to befriend a needy and charity case.

"Hey Bella, are you again lost in your romantic novels or are you again thinking about your crush"

Hi LILY, no I am not thinking about AIDEN,

"Got you, girl, I never mentioned AIDEN'S name,"

She was again pulling my leg, I was thinking about us, Lily today is our last exam and we will graduate soon, I never thought that I will miss our college days, but now as everything is coming to an end, I think I will miss this.

"Don't be so much emotional Bella, I will always stay with you, be it now or after college so just chill and let's finish our last exam".

We both entered our class and the bell rang,

"Students take your sits, you will soon start your exam."

Finally, the question papers arrived and everyone started writing.

AFTER 2.5 HOURS:

Finally, we finished our paper and were arranging everything when an announcement was heard,

"STUDENTS PLEASE ASSEMBLE IN THE HALL, WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT"

Now, what announcement? Lily spoke

I don't know, let's go.

"STUDENTS TODAY WAS YOUR LAST EXAM I HOPE YOU ALL PASS WITH GOOD MARKS AND MAKE OUR COLLEGE PROUD, BUT TODAY I HAVE A GOOD NEWS FOR YOU ALL, MR AIDEN WILLIAMS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE WELL-KNOWN BEST-SELLER WRITER OF NEWYORK IS GOING TO ATTEND YOUR GRADUATION CEREMONY."

I was shocked, really this is happening, my idol, my crush, the person I never met but fell in love with his books, is finally coming into our college,

"Girl your dream is coming true, you are finally going to see AIDEN WILLIAMS,"

I know LILY, I can't believe my ears, finally, I will be able to see the person in real whose books I have read a million times and have always loved them.

Let's go home now, mom and granny must be waiting for me.

"WHAT; today also you are going home so early"

Yes Lily, you know if I go early I can help mom in our bakery. I want to help her as much as I can, I know we can't afford a new cook, the shop is already running under loss, so I have to get a job soon.

"Don't worry Bella you will soon get a job", can I help you with anything? You can ask girl?"

Don't worry Lily we will manage.

Now let's go.

"I am dropping you, Bella, no ifs and buts".

Ok, girl, let's go.

"Let's get a hot chocolate first, my treat Bella, don't argue."

Ok as you wish.

When we were crossing the road with our hot chocolate, suddenly I saw a black Lamborghini car racing towards us, oh no.

Lily watch out, we both missed the hit only by a few inches, the car halted and a tall man with a brooding face and an ugly scowl came out. He marched towards us and his face told us that he was very angry, undoubtedly the man was very handsome, he had a chiseled face, bright blue eyes, broad shoulders, toned body but you could say he was mature for his age, maybe in his late 20s or early 30s.

"Are you girls blind? he shouted rudely, you both would have been dead by now if I didn't stop my car. If you wish to die, please find someone else car to die, not mine."

He spoke and was moving back towards his car, I was so angry, how dare he, he was driving so harshly and now he is blaming us.

Excuse me Mr. Whatever, I shouted, he halted and turned towards me,

We both were crossing the road right, I think you have forgotten, you are driving a car, not a charter flight, you were driving at such a high speed on this overcrowded road and you are blaming us, how dare you?

He looked shocked for a bit, then his face held no emotions, he came towards me and spoke;

"Listen here girl, no one speaks to me like that, you have to apologize now", he gritted his teeth, while he spoke.

Huh, first you do a mistake, then you blame us, and now you want an apology, great just great, I mocked him.

Lily let's go, I think nobody has taught this man anything, listen Mr, you can be older than us, but you lack basic human manners, first learn those.

As we both turned to leave, I heard him speak,

"If I get a chance I will surely teach you what manner is, you have messed with the wrong person.

"Hey Bella why did you speak with him like that, I have a bad feeling that man is dangerous Bells."

Don't worry Lily nothing will happen, that man was wrong I just spoke the right thing. Let's go now.
