Chapter 2

Grace finished her breakfast and her mom just pecked her head with a small kiss, and she forced a small smile.

"Okay now I have to go, bye mom", said Grace and left. Her mom was just staring at her back until she left. Grace has her own scooter.

Her father bought her a new one when she got admission to New yorks best college, The Wings. Which is a little far from her house.

She quickly wore her helmet and start her scooter, and left her house. She crossed half of her way but then there was a harsh noise and her scooter stooped in the middle of the way. She tried, again and again, so many times, but the scooter did not start again.

She looks at the watch on her wrist, and the tension line was on her forehead. If she did not reach the college in the next fifteen minutes, she will be late for her first lecture. She tried to kick her scooter and prayed.

"Please God, please make it start", she whispered, but then she realized she does not believe in the existence of God anymore.

She decided to drag her scooter, but it would be so stupid. She will be late for sure, so she decided to leave her scooter right there and find a cab. And then she will call her dad then he will send someone to pick up her scooter.

She locked her scooter and started to walk in the direction of her college. The sunlight was so annoying. She really does not appreciate the sunlight, it only causes her a major headache. After some minutes she hears a loud horn, continuously right behind her, first, she ignores it.

But then she realized it was for her. Someone was intentionally doing this. Maybe for calling her and that is when she turned her head, and what she saw made her a little shocked and confused.

A tall guy seems like almost her age, but he was looking damn, looking like a handsome hulk was there and looking at her.

Although he's sitting in his black limo, still, you can guess his height, it would be approx six feet. And his hair was silky grey, and brown eyes, wearing a plain navy blue full-sleeve t-shirt. He was just looking as handsome as hell. He was waving his hand with a fake, sheepish smile.

Grace decides to ignore him completely and started walking again, but here he was, again honking his car.

"Is something wrong with you, Mr. whoever you are", asked Grace. Finally, she stopped walking and narrowed her eyes.

"I was just thinking that I can help you", he said then, in a sweet, polite tone. And Crystal was just staring at her for a good two minutes.

"Excuse me", she said and he just shyly roamed his fingers in his hair.

"As I know, you are going to college. I am also going there and seems like you do not have any other option, so I can drop you. I mean, you can come with me", he said, smiling like an idiot.

"And what made you think that I will come with you", she asked and started walking again.

"But what is the problem, we are in the same college, and you are in trouble. So what is wrong with coming with me? I am not gonna hurt you I promise", he said and Grace gave him a weird look.

"Look, there is nothing wrong to come with you, and I know you will not hurt me. You seem a good guy, but thank you so much. I will go by myself", said Grace and headed straight her way.

In the next two minutes, she finds a cab. Before he could approach her, she sat inside the cab and did not look back again.

She dialed her dad's number, and he picked up the phone in just one ring. He is so lucky to have a daughter like her.

Mr. Patterson is an emotional man, and he also craved the love of a child, for a daughter who can call him a dad. And when they found Grace in that condition, his heart clenched in pain. There was a little hope in his heart, one day Grace will start loving him back as he does.

"Hello, Grace, are you okay baby", asked Mr. Patterson. Grace never called him like this ever.

"Yes dad, I am fine", she said. And there was a sound of some clash. Grace got panicked all of sudden about what happened to the other side.

"Are you there dad? Is everything okay, hello, dad, you there", she said but no reply?

The phone accidentally fell from Mr. Patterson's hand. It was the first time when he heard "dad", and he could not believe it, so it happened.

"Hello, I am fine Grace. Do not need to worry my baby. You tell me, why did you call"? Mr. Patterson asked with so much excitement.

"Actually dad, I was going to college, and my scooter is not working. So I left it in the middle of my way and went to the college by cab. Will you please take care of it", asked Grace. She is a little bit nervous because it is the first time when is asking for something.

"Of course, I will, but you should have called me earlier. I could have dropped your college. There was no need to go into a cab", said her dad. And a small smile appeared on her face. She thinks about how much he cares for her.

"It is okay dad", thank you so much. See you in the evening", said grace and hang up. Plus she reached college too.

She paid for the cab driver and headed inside the college.
