Emma's pov

"You are a sick person. Nobody likes you and nobody will ever like you because you are an arrogant bitch", his voice keeps repeating itself in my head and it is driving me crazy. I paced round the inner room where I do stay. My breath picked up and I suddenly have a difficulty in breathing due to stress. I took in a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Emma, are you okay?" Joan said immediately as she picked up my call.

"I can't breathe well",I managed to say. "Hey calm down. Count 1-10 repeatedly",she said calmly. "Come on, I will count it with you. One... ",She added. We counted the numbers together slowly for five times till I was calm. "Are you good now?" She asked. "Yes i am. Thank you, Jo",I replied."I'm here for you anytime. Why are you so worked up?" She asked."It was Lucas. He said somethings to me and it really hurt me. I couldn't get it out of my head and it was stressing me out. That is why I had a panic attack", I explained.

"Emma, you need to stay away from this guy. He is stressing you out", she advised. " I tried but he seems to be everywhere",I groaned. " Just stay away from him, avoid him and protect yourself from hurt. Think about your health",Joan said in her motherly voice. "Thank you",I replied and ended the call. I used my drugs and left the room for lunch.

"Hi beautiful", a guy said. He was the guy that interrupted Lucas and i's conversation. He called Lucas a monster so I think they know each other. "Hi?",I forced my self to say because I'm so tired and stressed out. "My name is Astrid, I'm new here. What's yours?", He introduced himself in a calm voice. "My name is Emma",I replied. "Nice to meet you, Emma",he said with a smile.

" Thank you",I replied. "I will see you around later",he waved and walked away. Such a nice gentleman unlike someone I know. I saw Eva with Chris and Lucas. I don't want to go there but I have to go talk to Eva and know how she is feeling.

"Hi Eva, how are you feeling now?" I asked as I sat beside Eva. " I'm better, thank you",Eva replied. I gave her a side hug. " Thank you Emma. Thank you for caring for her", Chris said with a smile and I gave him a smile back. "So what's the plan? What are you going to do about Noah?" I asked them. Lucas was staring at us and he said nothing. "She will break up with him. This is not the first time he is doing it", Chris replied.

" Why did you stay in the relationship? You should have told Chris about it", I said to Eva. " I was threatened...he sa...",she replied but she was cut off by Lucas. "Eva, it is fine. Don't say anything", Lucas ordered and Eva obeyed. What's the deal with this guy?" Lucas, I wasn't talking to you", I said to him angrily. "And I wasn't talking to you either so where's the problem",he shrugged." You guys don't have to fight again. Why are you always fighting? ",Chris asked.

"She is always getting on my nerves and she uses every chance she gets to fight me", Lucas replied as he rolled his eyes. I said nothing, I waved Eva and Chris goodbye. I will listen to Joan, she told me to stay away from that monster. I went to my next class which is an anatomy class. I sat quietly and I was reading a novel on anystories app. "Hi",a voice said, I looked up and it was Astrid. He was smiling down at me with his handsome face.

"Hey",I replied. "Can I sit here?" He asked and I nodded. He sat beside me, his perfume filled my nose. "Why are you sitting here all by yourself. Where are your friends?" He raised a curious brow." I don't really have a friend here. I'm a lone wolf",I joked and his eyes widened in shock. " Lone Wolf?",he asked me. "Yes, I am always alone",I replied. "Why? I mean a very beautiful girl like you shouldn't be alone all by yourself",he said. Is he flirting? " Well, I'm always alone. Everyone is scared of me to be friends with me",I shrugged.

" Okay. I hope you don't mind, I will love to be your friend. Someone you can talk to and a shoulder to cry on",he smiled. " Are you serious?" I asked. " Yes, I am. I'm new here and I really want to have a friend. I want that person to be you",he said with sincerely. " I will be your friend",I smiled back. "Thank you so much,Emma",he said. He is so nice and charming. Students started coming into the class and the professor as well. Astrid and I were talking and giggling like kids. He is like first male friend.

I felt someone staring hard at me and when I looked up it was Lucas. He frowned at me and I gave him a scrowl back. "Who are you scrowling at?" Astrid asked me. "Lucas",I replied and Astrid frowned. " That bastard, listen you have to stay away from that guy. He is evil, trust me", Astrid said. " You joined us today, how did you know him?",I raised a curious brow. "We attended the same high school. Lucas was rebellious, he had multiple girlfriends. He was a drunk and a party animal. One time, he raped a minor but the charges was dropped against him because his parents were influential", he explained and I gasped. I was right, Lucas is totally evil.

"He did all that", I whispered. "He did more than that so stay away from him",he warned and I nodded. I will stay away from him. " Good morning students", professor said. "Good morning Professor BB",we all replied. " Today, I will give you a project and two months for you to execute it",he said and everyone groaned. " You will be working in two's. You will have a partner each",he continued. God please, let me be paired with someone reasonable. He started calling names and their partners. "Emma Star and Lucas Blackwood",he said and my heart broke into pieces. Not again....
