Just when everyone thought that she was going to be run over by the speeding car, someone swooped her up at the last moment and landed her safely on the other side of the road, a wave of relief spread through the people around when they saw her unharmed.

"Are you alright? "

A deep voice spoke to December from the side, it was almost a whisper but December heard it, But she was so shocked that she dared not to look up, she stared at the dusty pavement with empty eyes.

The football player who had accidentally pushed her came running towards her from the other side of the road and, kneeled beside her with a worried look.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

He lightly touched her shoulder to which she responded suddenly.

"Haah!" She breathed out with force,

"Here is some water. It will help," the guy in a football jersey handed over the bottle to her.

Finally, December showed a sign of life and looked at the water bottle.

She slowly lifted her hand and curled her fingers around it.

"Th..thank you,"

The guy who had saved her, was still holding onto her arm, The scene that she witnessed a few moments ago had so many similarities with a past incident, that she felt that, she knew the man who saved her, She lifted her head and stretched her lips into a smile, before speaking a few words of greeting.

"Oscar! You came back—"

Her words came to a halt and her tongue felt heavy suddenly and didn't utter a single more word, her eyes fell on the face of the guy beside her,

His black seductive eyes were protected by long eyelashes. His face was perfectly sculptured with a sharp jawline, his eyebrows were lightly knitted as if he was uncomfortable for some reason. But even though with such a handsome guy beside her, December's eyes didn't admire him. But instead, there was horror.

"August?!" Another voice called out before August could see December's face, a voice calling him, on which he looked away.

December pulled her hand out of his grip and shrugged herself away and lightly bumped into the football player.

He too noticed her odd behavior so he spoke to her.

"Let me take you to the hospital,"

"I—I have to go,"

December abruptly got up and ran away without looking back. The crowd around them gazed at the scared girl running off as if her life depended on it.

"August? What are you doing here? Did you get into an accident?"

A fair girl with wavy brown hair and a pair of grey eyes spoke, she had a Nobel aura and walked through the crowd with a puzzled expression.

"No, I didn't," August answered but didn't put much emotion into it. He then frowned at the sight of the girl running away.

"That's a relief, I got scared because of the sudden commotion," She spoke while giving out a beautiful smile.

"Are you here to meet the dean?"

"Hmm," He replied with a nod still distracted by the fearful girl...

"Aurora! hurry up we are gonna be late for the class," another voice came from behind her that caused her to look away from August.

"I will be right there," Aurora replied.

"I think you should be going," August looked at her friend who was calling her,

"Okay, but be sure to go to the doctor," Aurora threw the last words at him in a hurry and reluctantly followed her friend out of the crowd.

Once she was gone, August's curious glaze followed the direction where December had ran off to,

.............

Sniff, sniff,

'It was him, I saw him again, everything is gonna repeat itself. Everything!!'

December limply ran as she cleared the tears streaming down her eyes, her eyes showed a pure sense of horror. She was scared.

Her legs gave up and she fell on the ground sobbing, the people around her stared at her with odd looks but she was not aware of the fact, the only thing she could feel was her pounding heart and her scared self.
