Falling in love wasn't the plan

Silent as the ground was, there everyone's heart beats increased while the faces paled. The college's football team was just a goal away from winning the finals of International football tournament, marking a magnificent place in the history of the champions.

"Nervousness can be seen on every players face. The Royal Riders are just one goal behind from winning this tournament that has been on from the last two months. Fans are praying, players are playing their best. Let's see who will win the trophy in their name! Elegant Aces is not yet ready to give up, now that is what we call sporting spirit"

The commentator shouted on the mic setting everyone's heart on fire. It was the last minute of anxiety before the game's end as the team's hot captain stood across the net aiming the target, taking a perfect angle for a goal while the goalkeeper prepared himself to defend it.

On the go of the whistle, the ball flew in the mid air falling directly inside the net passing the defender and ohhh!!!! "GOAL!!!!!" The audience that has come to cheer for Royal Riders from Springfield Academy, rose from their seats busting in a mess of hoots as there in the ground, the hot captain of their college's football team showed them a thumbs up running wild in a circle in the ground.

Once again, the defending champions of the tournament won for the second time in a row!

When everyone was busy celebrating their win, then how can the topper of the college stay behind in the race! "Yess, we won!" Adjusting her fat glasses, Amara Rebello, the unnoticed topper bit her lips realizing that the girl sitting next to her was staring her disgustingly. "Sorry!" She chipped getting up from the seat after giving him a last glance of appreciation.

Amara sucked on her green apple flavoured lollipop as she strode on the dark street alone with her heavy bag. She never wanted to come to the ground to see the match, just that when her eyes fell on the poster in the evening whilst filling up her bottle near the girl's common room, at his heart hitching photo, she cannot stop herself.

It was supposed to be her study time as per her daily schedule yet Amara broke it today. "He is a good player. I so admire him." Her hands gripped around the straps of her bag, the moon lightened her path as she walked further toward the girl's hostel that's few metres away from the college's football ground.

Although she never had a chance to talk to him but still there is no way she can't take her eyes off of him. Nah, dare anyone say that is a crush! That is not! She just admires him for his fine playing skills and his charming personality. In fact, he stands as her role model when it is about fashion.

"Alex Ragnar, congratulations to you!" Heaving a breath of fresh air she wished him before unlocking her room.

No matter what, life has to anyway go back on its track. Tomorrow morning, will again be the same old boring morning where she would sit in the last bench in the class behind the star students of the college, alone. Nobody will spare her a glance but all the eyeballs will be fixed on him, the entire academy's crush- Alex Ragnar.

"Don't be disheartened Amara, life is great. Thank the lord for gifting you this life." Like every other night, she thanked the God for blessing her a healthy life despite having nothing called, importance. "And bless my parents for whatever they are doing to me. Give them a healthy life and Eddy, a life like Alex." She pulled the quilt on her body closing her eyes for a good night sleep wishing the best for her family also, admiring the guy who just stole her already stolen heart today!

~~~

" Good morning! "

She smiled at everyone who watched her walking inside the class but not everyone happens to be as friendly as you are, right! Amara looked down on her dirty canvas shoes biting her lips nervously. Again, nobody replied to her smiles. Not even did they wish her back a good morning!

Having felt as usually overlooked she sat on her accustomed place where she can hide herself from the eyes of others. Those eyes that only glare her for her unpleasant extraordinarily normal appearance that seems more as an alien to everyone. 'Better be unnoticed than being noticed that rewards you a disgusting look!' has been her mantra ever since she stepped into this college last year.

Though the first year has been good as she had friends to sit with and talk normally however, as it is rightly said that, People change along with time, they changed too and left her in the middle. By the time the first year ended she was left alone while the friends or say, the fake friends who stayed with her in the beginning- have moved on joining the group of those girls who move the guys of the college on their fingers! Now, they do not even recognize her name.

To be honest, she could be one of them too alas, Amara did not want popularity where she would be called a bitch or a dick sucking slut for nicknames rather, she decided to stay back as the same old boring Amara who wears clothes that covers her body properly making sure that her chest as well as butt are not opened to the horny guys to stare at, her silky thick hairs are tied in either two plates or a pony, dark innocent ocean blue eyes always layered with the glasses of her specs, and above all her perfect figure kept hidden behind the superstar students of the college by sitting on the last bench.

She doesn't want to call problems for her!

Anyway, Amara was too lost in her thought such that she cannot even see that Professor Mario was in the class. The faculty who looks after the subject, Principles of Management. The entire class was available except the guy that Amara has eagerly been waiting and also, the hot cheerleader, Bella.

Bella Mendez dated many, cheated many, broke up with many thus staying as the heartless hot girl as always. But according to the new sources, it is revealed she is dating Alex. Yeah, you read that right.

Her eyes simultaneously focused of the board as well as the door next to the white board fixing her eyes there just to catch the football star's face. Unfortunately, he never appeared! "Shit! Stop that Amara, focus on your study." She scolded herself looking down in the notebook blankly.

Fifteen minutes passed, she has successfully pulled herself out of his thoughts. The lecture was as always interesting. Uh, Professor Mario teaches it in a way that it becomes interesting.

Amara was busy copying down the important points when unexpectedly there rose a wave of 'ohhs' and 'ahhs' in the class with a row of claps welcoming him. As she whiningly upped her head, her breaths stuck looking at the most awaited guy, Alex. However, he was not alone. There was Bella following him.

"You are excused this time but not again Ragnar. Take your seat and focus in the class. Celebration can be done after this lecture too." He sheepishly smiled looking around in the class.

He obediently shook his head, watching for a place to sit his ass.

Surprisingly, all the seats were occupied. There was no other seat available except the one next to Amara. She was still blinking her lashes unusually that she did not see when he came and sat next to her and when he removed his books! "Hi" Without giving her a gaze he blindly wished her, astonishing her stars.

Did the popular hot guy of the college really wish her! No ways.

Gosh, how will she concentrate now!

Tbc..

After the end of the lecture, they had gathered around the last bench surrounding them. Amara chewed her lips feeling nervous around them. "You were just awesome last night, babe." Bella jumped on him, her legs wrapped around his waist whilst her hands snaked his shoulders before she crashed her matted lips on his ones.

The entire crowd cheered up loudly shipping them together. Some removed their phone taking their videos, some adoring them like they were the only cute couple in the college (they were not, precisely they were not even friends) but what made Amara feel yuck was his untidy friends.

By untidy here, we do not mean they wore shabby unpleasant clothes but because their thoughts were untidy. Every time they opened their mouths, they spat out tons of garbage. All that stuck on their lips is the word SEX.

"Excuse me" It was turning unbearable sight for Amara.

From a passionate kiss, it developed into a war where both of them fought for dominance. Amara struggled to get out as they leaned on the bench assuming it to be their personal property still kissing each other madly.

It was not the kiss that was forcing her to get out of the circle of the crowd that has been built around the kissing idiots but his hands those were pressing and pinching her private part shamelessly. And the ironical state where she was stuck in (right beside him) she can she way more things than the others!

Let's just not talk about it.

Amara held her breaths controlling her irritation. No one was ready to move a little bit. She kept on requesting them to excuse her, make a way for her leave alas, as unnoticed as she was to them- they all continued to enjoy the live porn film playing in front of their pupils.

"WILL YOU GET SIDE CHARLIE!" All the voices died as soon as her loud shrill echoed in the class.

To be honest, her grumbled, irritated tone shut their pie holes tight and made them stare her, eventually killing all their hoots and cheers. Even Alex intriguingly turned his head around from Bella with an amused expression. His stained red lips with her lipstick grinned at her.

She has been a source of joy to him. No matter why but every time he laid his eyes on her, she made him smile. Ugh may be because she seemingly appeared more like a clown with baggy clothes looking nowhere from any angle a student of their well known college!

"Get away if you don't to be punched in the nose." Punching Charlie, Alex 's best dude with her weak fist Amara huffed such that he grinned not leaving her sight until she finally made a way out for herself.

His amazed eyes watched the way she struggled with her stuff in her hands as she scurried toward the door. "Ehh!" Bella pulled his face toward her annoyingly. She glared him with disappointed gaze clearly showing her jealousy.

Earlier than she can say anything he smacked her lips harder this time while with the other hand signalling the crowd to move out. Hmm, now that she gave him the signal of approval how can he not take advantage of that!

"Stupid, idiot, moron, shameless bastard!" Her eyes oozed aggression. Her lips constantly cussed and abused him.

While sitting on the empty bench situated under a tree in the back of the massive garden of the college, Amara tortured the pages of her book by scratching it with a pointed pen. The pages were so severely harmed that the flakes of it painted with ink, started to float in the air every time a wind rolled by.

She never liked Bella. And the reason was as simple as simple interest's formula, she kept roaming around with the guys in the campus. In fact, to be real true and honest, she was dating Simon two days ago but today if you have looked at her, she was kissing Alex shamelessly like they were a married couple!

It was not about Bella too, but him. She never anticipated him to do something in front of her. The more she is admiring him the worser he is behaving now. "They should be suspended from the college. I don... I don't even know as to why are they even allowed to come in here! I am so disappointed. There is no decency in them at all."

"Who, them!"

Her heart hitched hearing a husky voice out of the blue, a familiar one. Amara dropped her specs getting up in surprise. "You!" Ponting her finger at the intruder who dared to intrude her personal space, she clamped her choppers irritatingly.

"Hey calm down. I just came here to return you your pen that you forgot in the class." It was Alex.

He was smiling again. His eyes showed how much interested he was in her when Amara rolled her eyes before looking away. On stretching his hand out that held the pen, he asked "May I ask you a question! Why do you feel so 'yuck' every time you see anyone kissing? " Her eyebrows cocked up in bewilderment.

Dude, how on heavenly earth can anyone be so irking!

He actually had the audacity to question her that with those wild cat scratches visible on his neck. The remnant of the lipstick showed how gruesomely have he chewed her lips to get it on his ones!

"Please go away I am in no mood to talk to anyone, precisely with you." For him it might be a normal task, for her it was more than a sin.

Like really, you kiss any random person with no guilt. You don't even think about what you are doing to yourself! No sanity, no purity left at all.

She actually has no problem with anyone. We live in a democratic country where citizens are given their respective rights to do anything. They are free to do whatever they want (that is what they do- freely) but at least, they need to maintain some habits too. Good habits.

"You know this is the reason why you do not have any friend in the college in spite of being a topper." Having shrugged his shoulders he chipped cozily, unaware of what effect it has on her.

Her head eventually lowered down in sadness. He somewhere said the truth out. She does not have any friend because she is against of the things that is demanded in this world as bribe- your truthfulness of being you.

It is asked as an important clause in the contract that is signed having both the parties consent before being each other's friends i.e to murder your real self and be someone that is not you.

Any ways, Amara longed for a way to get out of here, out of his sight before she can lose her calm over her tears. "Hey, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you but try to take my words positively." On learning her emotions he immediately apologized.

Alex took a step forward to console her regardless of his kindness she retreated backward that he awkwardly have to sigh. "I just meant to tell you that, try staying with people than running away from them. I know all of us are clumsy except you, but trust me, our company will make you realize we are not bad. Uhh, what is your name!" Alex asserted, however the last sentence did not go unnoticed by Amara.

She shot her face up with narrowed eyes glaring him woefully. "How strange, you don't even know my name and you claim your company will be something I'd cherish, moron!" With that she took the pen from him and walked away leaving him hissing behind.

"Gosh!!! Guys, the fuck you didn't tell what is her name!" As he turned around looking at the tree, a bunch of his friends jumped out who seemed to have been hiding behind it, acting as weird as him. "What is her name!" he asked again staring everyone's face hopefully waiting for a quick feedback.

Alex crossed his arms shooting glares at their faces. "What! Don't tell me you don't know her name too." Exclaimed he, heedless as they were, they bobbed their heads together sheepishly, hence baffling him.

Tbc...

Amidst the hungry students during the lunch break, Alex sat biting his lips nervously. "You guys are good for nothing! You did send me to persuade her but you did not tell me what is her name, I have almost wooed her mahn!" He slapped the empty plate kept on the table such that it jumped an inch in the air before landing back on its spot with a noise.

They were acting according to the plan until the biggest mistake happened, he happened to say something that needed her name, her name that he did not know! "I thought you would do the rest Alex, that is you who needs her help after all!" Charlie shrugged his shoulder munching on the burger that has just arrived, fresh and juicy.

"Gosh, how will I pass now!" With that mournful remark, Alex placed his head between his palms defeatedly. "Exams are just a month away and I have prepared fucking nothing due to the tournament practise. What will I do now."

He was though the football star alas the dumbest student in the class anyone would ever spot. Alex Ragnar has the ability to win the match that is impossible to bring out of the opponent's clutch notwithstanding he does not have the mind to pass in the exams.

"Do not worry bud, we will try other way. Who told you only that topper was your last hope. We are still alive. We will do something for you." five foot seven inches tall Daniel, the cutest guy in the college with a killer smile assured his friend- only to get a hit on head from his ungrateful friend back. "What the! What was that for?" he growled caressing his skull.

Although when Ragnar pouted like a baby with a fake crying face, his anger vanished over his cuteness. "You yourself hardly pass with passing marks, how will you help me bitch! " He kicked his legs on the floor for a moment thus showing his irony.

They sat there looking for a way to help their friend pass out this year with good grades until the bell hit their ear drums. It was now the time for the next lecture. "Come let's go! " Said Daniel getting up from the chair.

"Nah, you go. I am anyway failing." Alex replied, his eyes staring at the clouds outside the window on his left.

Daniel wanted to have him accompany him to the next class, he still let him be striding off the canteen. He needs some fresh air though.

~~~

Amara's point of view...

In the class, He is starting to get on my nerves. How can Alex be so cruel! He did come to talk to me, but he did not know my name! That was hurting! We have been classmates for over two years, still he does not know my name.

I wish I could shout on him or anybody else regardless they are not at fault- nobody knows Amara Rebello. No one has any idea that her father is an CEO in the famous company that comes under the list of top five firms.

No one in the college knows her mother who is a professional surgeon owning an honourable position in the country's best private hospital. Nobody on this freaking land of the college knows that her parents together own billions of dollars and property that is worth any fortune. No me knows that she lives in a designed bungalow, in a lavish room that is more beautiful than any Disney princess's bedroom.

Nobody knows me.

My heart felt heavier at the evaluation. I have everything but no one beside me called as friends just because I prefer to stay simple! "Dude, I don't know what will we do!" I was too much in my thoughts that I forgot students has started to come back to the class for the second lecture and the bell has already rung.

It was Business Analysis now, the professor usually comes late. He believes, better he enter the class late or else the majority of the students will stay out of the class once he would enter in since he hates late comers. He never allows those students who get late.

There were his friends, the best friends anyone could ever get!

You know they are popular and rich too. Irrespective of Alex's background they have chosen to be his friends. Yeah, Alex comes from a middle class family that lives in Texas. His father is a bank manager and mother a house wife. He has a younger brother who is as cute as him. Despite of everything he has a place in this college, whatever he is here it is all because of his abilities. Hidden secret is that, others want to stay with him as he is the most handsome guy here who has every girls' eyes on him.

In spite of that, Alex is a part of the richie rich brats' friend circle.

Their friendship is adored by everyone, even the teachers. "I am concerned for Alex, let's see what we can do!" What are they talking about?

Did Alex break up with Perry! I don't think so, they have been together for over a year and a half. Perry is the prettiest girl of our college with slender body, shoulder length golden hairs, angelic eyes and the popularity of being the college's trustees daughter.

It is difficult to say anything because both of them hit others behind each other's back and still they are in relationship. I reckon whether she knows about Alex and Bella's kiss that happened in the class in the previous lecture!

Anyway, no matter what they both are not going to leave each other. Perry does not want to let him go as he is every girls crush while Alex, he lusts her body.

"Come on guys, let's not talk about it now otherwise we would be in trouble. Focus in the class please, promise we will find a way out for him too. Okay." I heard Martin sigh trying to explain them something.

They were sitting together however, there was no Alex. By the time the teacher comes, let me help introduce them to you.

Above everyone comes Martin Louis, Alex's secret keeper. He knows everything about him. This guy with brown hairs and chiselled face and black eyes is none other than his partner in crime. He looks like a heart breaker although he is the best guy I have ever known. A good guy with bad habits and no girlfriend! Yeah, he believes in one love with one girl and so far he could not find his that girl. His father is an interior designer who owns a private enterprise that's run by himself.

Beside him is Daniel, the chatter box. The taller he is the smarter he is. He has a brain that is way better than mine unfortunately, he never uses it for studying but other dumb work. You ask for an idea, he will get you the most devilish one. Daniel's eyes had once made me have a crush on them. His nature is something you would want to own. The guy who is always ready to do anything for his friends.

On the bench behind theirs sat Charlie alone. The guy whom I would love to kill. He is a naughty dumb ass guy who flirts with any girl he lays his eyes on. His timber brown eyes are like the wolfs eyes. They can see things through clothes, if you know what I mean.

I dislike him because he has once tried to be cozy to me to take the advantage of the moment and touch me. Alas, that is not something that can stand him wrong. He is a man whore still, he is a good friend and a guy with white heart with no rust.

In short, all of these five people (Alex, Martin, Daniel, Charlie and Perry) are the best buddies who can cross any limits for each other. Their friendship is like Tom and Jerry. They fight, bother each other yet in the end they are one as a team.

I wish if I could ever get to be their friend alas, it is not possible. They demand a popular face that is known by everyone and here, I sit unnoticed and ignored.

Fifteen minutes have passed already and there is no sign of Professor Guptil. I tried to concentrate but I can't, Martin and his friends' dull faces did not give me good feeling. And the problem that I can very well listen to their conversation became another issue for not focusing.

They were earlier talking about Alex, is it something related to him! Did something happen to him after I left him in the garden. God, please don't do anything to him!

I was praying for his well being when I realized there was Bella walking in the class in her crop top. Her lipstick was smudged severely indicating she did something during this break. "Hey fellas, where is Alex!" she walked over to their bench sitting next to Charlie in the empty space while her neck moved everywhere in order to search him.

"He is depressed." Daniel replied in a slow tone.

Bella almost hit her large breasts on his back as she pushed him back by the collars suddenly. "Eh why is that! Did he and Perry broke up?" Honestly it would not be a good sign if they broke up still she seemed excited knowing that. She wants Alex.

"No, it's not that." It was Martin who answered this time.

"Then what!" Bella was annoyed as it was not the break up that got him depressed.

The three dudes stared each other for a while not only increasing her amusement alone but mine too. For a moment, Martin gazed in my direction hardly for a second before turning his eyes on her face, announcing, "It is because of the exams. You know Alex is weak in studies, and he spent unnecessary time practising for the football toy. Now he is depressed. Hardly any days are left for preparation, and he thinks he is going to fail. That is why he is not going to attend any lecture any more! "

What the hell! Is he crazy? Who said hardly any time is left... Idiot, there is still a month left for preparation. That is enough time for any student to prepare for the final exams. He can prepare too, he would just require someone to help him with the proper notes and correct strategy. That is enough for someone to score the highest marks in the subjects.

"There is entire textbook to study and eight subjects, he can't even study a page, let alone eight different subjects. He has already given up that's why we are worried about him. How will he manage to prepare for the exams studying the entire text! He can't do the hard study" I wish if I was granted to murder Charlie. This stupid guy will stay stupid always.

Like really, who tells you to study the whole textbook. There is something even called smart study which is better than hard study. By reading only the important concepts, understanding them and writing the points in your own words can help you fetch fifty percent of the marks out of the total in a particular subject, then why is he so worried.

"Oh that is sad!" Bella remarked biting her lips. "But it is good you know, I am going to fail too. I did not even a page till now lol. Alex and I will repeat this year together." No doubts why she is on everyone's black list and block list! Her remarks are irking enough.

But on a serious note I can help him. Yes, I can. In fact, I am already prepared for the exams and I can do something for him too. We can sit together for an hour every day and study together where I can tell him regarding the concepts that are very much important from the exams point of view and help him pass this semester. In this way, not only will I help him but also my revision will be done!

So it is decided, I will help you Alex Ragnar. Why do you fear when your classmate is here! I promise, I will help you pass with the best scores.

Tbc...
