CHAPTER 6

David Peterson's POV:

"Finally peace after studying for a good 2 hours", i said as i yawned out of tiredness. I packed my school bag with the books as they were scattered on the table. I picked up and turned myself and made it  towards the stairs.

As soon as i reach to my heaven i placed the bag at the corner and took a hot warm bath.

"Maybe she isn't bad as the others", i said thinking about Isla "Well...... Who knows all the women are thirsty for lust, she can also be the same", i said to myself and turned the nozzle off.  As soon as I came out I wore a tee and joggers and went to the deep slumber which was at 12:30am.

Isla Brown's POV:

I woke up and took a nice warm bath, i came out dressed in my uniform and made my way downstairs. I quickly went to the entrance of my cafe and made my way towards the exit, as i said my cafe and house is connected with each other. i quickly bid bye to all my workers and exited the cafe which took the aroma of the warm liquids to die.

I reached my school and entered the classroom, nothing is precious than sitting on a window seat with the song playing on my airpods and the chill breeze touching my skin. I took a random book outside and started doodling.

Soon after sometime Lucas came and sat in the seat which was in front of me. "Hey Isla", i heard him say because the music wasn't that loud for me to not listen to him. "Hey Lucas What's up?", i gave him a sweet smile and carried on with my doodlings.

"How was the tutoring session yesterday?", he asked me and took out a random book out. He looked at me expecting for an answer but i just gave him a duh look.

"Wow........What a question to get my day started. They greet each other asking them how they are but i got a best friend who asks 'how was the tutoring session yesterday'", I scoffed at him and imitated the last line while I glared.

He gave out a sweet laugh and replied, "That's what buddy...... I am unique". he laughed at me for my mad face but i just glared.

"My ass is much more unique than your uniqueness", I said and flipped my hair back giving him the attitude. We talked for some more time until the teacher came.

"Students, we'll be shifting some of the other block students in this classroom as the constructions are taking place in that block, kindly welcome them with a kind heart", Mr. Philip said and gestured the students standing outside the classroom, probably the other block classroom kids to come inside.

I was drinking the water when I saw David coming inside with his specs and books in his hand. I choked on my water and slavered the water onto the person who was sitting ahead of me, which happened to be Lucas.

He turned behind with water dripping on his face from his head "Out of everyone in the class, only i got caught by your spit", he said and i mumbled an apology to him. And you know what? nothing is scarier than Mr. Philip's glare.

"Students, you get to choose your own seats for now", the bitc- I mean Mr. Philips said the students and I can see David making his way towards my seat.

"Hey Isla...... Ummm.... Is this seat empty?", David asked me and I looked up at him and replied, "Yes it is and this one will also be if you sit here", I heard Lucas giggling. 

David gave me a glare, "I'm trying to be a good boy for you and you reply with sarcasm dripping from those words", David said but kept the book on the desk.

"I will sit here even if you don't want me to". he gave me a wink and smiled as he sat while he placed his bag down beside his chair.

"And here I thought that this asshole will be kind now...tch", i pretended to talk to myself as i flipped the pages to the correct page. 

"I don't care what you think of me but if you want me to be good then I won't mind being in bed with you because....... I'm only good in bed", he replied and whispered the last sentence in my ear as he removed his specs giving me a half glare and half smile. 

"You have a disgusting mind, you know?", I said as I gave him a disgusting face.

"I never said sex. I only said good in bed which can also mean..... Just sleeping doing nothing or..... cuddles......you are the one with a nasty mind here Isla", David said giving me a wiggling eyebrow as he licked his lip and then and there I was caught off guard because of getting caught. It's true that I was thinking something else when he said that. 'damn, my brain', I cursed internally.

"By the way i can't get tutored today because i have an event coming up in my part time job", he said to me and i just nodded.

"Second day and you gave up?", I thought of teasing him more because I want to. "I never give up something when it is not done whether it be studies or anything else", he replied and gave me a wink. I suppose it was meant to be a dirty joke. 'Nah, I shouldn't say anything regarding that sentence, if not he will tease me to death about it', I said myself

"Will you two shut up and concentrate on what he is teaching?", a mad Lucas whisper yelled from the front which made us both shut up. 

"Ok bro, no need to be furious", David said to him and started concentrating on what the teacher was teaching. 

~Later that day~

David Peterson's pov:

Finally, I could breathe a good and calm atmosphere from my favorite place. I stared at the night to see the moonlight and stars decorating the dark.

The world looks so peaceful from here, the stars staring back at me while I stare back at them. They have that aura which makes me want to be among them and away from this forgery world. The  wind was free and cold which makes me want to wrap them up like a blanket around me and never let it go. I want to stop the time and go back to the days where being happy doesn't take everything in me, where love was the only thing which i felt and never pain.

I took the locket from my pocket and opened it looking at the picture pasted on it showing the one and only person I love. Her sweet smile which makes me love her even more day by day.Her big brown eyes which captivated mine and looking into them was actually a solace for me. Although it was a pic which we took at the orphanage when we only had each other, it holds a lot of memory in them.

I guess I lost her just like how happiness lost me.  Maybe I can never find her or maybe she is happy with someone else in this world. 

Who would choose a pot marigold over a rose?

But I wish, I wish that someday just magically she comes into my arms and yells my pet name which she gave me 'Peter' and that will be the time when I will leave this lech work of mine, I might even forget about hating women when she comes back to me.

Isla Brown's Pov:

I cleaned all the tables and made my way towards the door of my house and took the locket which my first love gave me. I fondled the locket and stared at our photo together. I can't help but to think that he might be happy with someone else.

Whenever I miss him I take this locket which he gave me and stare at it  until I fall asleep. I hide it from the others because when they find out that this little exquisite thing is my weakness then they might break it or steal it from me and stealing this might be the death of me.

Everything is blurry in my mind, except for this little thing which held my world in it. I only wish to see him, at least for once so that I can know he is there.
