Chapter 1 First Day, First Glance

"Emily wake up or you will be late the first day of college".I immediately stood up and realized that I will be late scrambling to get my dress on and also arranging my books is one thing. Gosh how could I overslept this is all Amily and Lily's fault.I shouldn't have done the video call with them Arghhhhh!!! . Bye Mom and have a nice day dad. Amily is here to pick me up and we are so excited for our first day as college freshman. As Amily and Lily were making plans to go out,I was making plans on how I would sleep and read because yeah I am your typical shy introverted girl and I love it like that. The campus is buzzing with noise, laughter and the kind of nervous excitement that comes with beginnings. New faces hurried across the courtyard clutching maps and timetables.I walked slower than most, clutching my bag strap like it is a lifeline. My heart wasn't racing because of the crowd though it was because of him(NUEL)

As if time froze when he walked in, the way all the girls gushed and blushed when they saw him, that easy smile of his making it look like he already belonged here. same soft brown hair, some way he scratches the back of his neck when he was a little nervous. Some things didn't change. He hadn't noticed me. He never did not really. To him,I was just another quiet friend, someone on the edge of his world. But to me, he'd been at the center of mine for years ( ever since middle school)

My best friend nudged me with their elbows. "Don't stare too long or you're going to burn a hole in the back of his head." They whispered with a grin."I wasn't staring" . I muttered even though I was heat crept up my cheeks. Amily and Lily rolled their eyes. "you've liked him since forever. Maybe college is your chance to actually do something about it." Easy for them to say, Amily is confident and bold and Lily has a way of drawing attention to herself especially among the boys while I am just a smart nerdy shy introverted girl we are so different girls !!!! . but still I couldn't help daydream about him what it would be like walking up to him, saying his name (Nuel 💗) , watching him eyes light up because he is so happy to see me and not to talk about his lips 🤭 arghhhhh!!! I am so obsessed.

But then reality set back in heavy and cold, Nuel wasn't alone anymore. A tall girl leaned casually beside him tossing her shiny hair as if the whole campus belonged to her. Her confidence and her cuteness pulling his attention. Noticing my expression and following my gaze Amily and Lily murmed "uh oh" and ask "who's that" . I already knew the answer though I hadn't even learned her name yet. The Queen Bee.
