A Girl Nobody Wanted

Three of us walked to the main hall in absolute silence. I looked at Jake and Luke time to time, both of them looked so connected in their own thoughts, and it was not hard to tell both of them were in so much anger.

After we come to the hall, I served coffee to everyone, and we started work again. Even though other three people have n idea what has happened inside that room, they seemed to realize that both Jake and Luke are not in a mood to tolerate any talk other than project-related. We talked with each other just to discuss things related to the project only.

As a result of our hard work and commitment, we could cover all the aspects related to the project and we even could finalize the content for all the powerpoint slides related to tomorrow's presentation.

We decided that it is better if Jake, Luke and I deliver the presentation tomorrow. Since we only get 10 minutes, there wor be enough time for all six of us to do the presentation anyway.

Therefore, the other three took the responsibility of modifying the slides and make them eye-catching. After dividing the presentation into 3 parts and assign each part to Jake, Luke and me, we decided to go to sleep.

Almost all the other teams were still working on their project, and they were just firefighting as they have very limited tin left.

“seems like they have to stay up all the night,” Dean said looking around.

“If we didn't focus, we would also be in the same boat” Jake said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Luke offered to take me to room as yesterday, there was no anger or any negative emotions left on his handsome face. He was back to his joyful self.

But when it comes to Jake, he seemed fine from outside, but his eyes were telling another story. They were still bloody re and clear anger is visible on them.

jake, didn't even tell he come with us to my room, instead, he just followed us.

“Goodnight to both of you. Thank you for taking me here. ” I said looking at both of them after we reach my room. “Goodnight Sarah,” Luke said with a gentle smile.

jake just looked at me and then looked away.

I sighed!

After taking a wash I came to my bed. Penny was still not there. They might be working still.

I took my phone to send him a message.

“sleep well, Sweet dreams...”

“I don't have to dream today. I was looking at you all day, so it is a dream itself.” got his reply right away.

He is right, all these feel exactly like a dream. Who thought a girl nobody wanted will become so valuable for someone Li him?

“You are right. Not just today. You texting with me is a dream for me. And I never want to wake up from this delightful dream”

“You have to wake up, princess. We have to make this dream a reality. After that, I will never let anyone to even look at yo in a wrong way”

Oh! Poor Luke!!! He is still worried about me!

But I didn’t know how to reply to him. He may be able to protect me from everyone, but I am not sure how he is going to protect me from my own family. Not even he can go against them.

“I think I should sleep now, how about you? ” I asked.

“Well, I have some work to do. Sleep tight princess!” he replied.

Work? What work is he talking about? We have finished all the work for today, haven't us? Maybe he is getting ready for hi part of the presentation, but we have sufficient time for that.

Waitt I got it. He doesn't know that I know who he really is. Therefore, he may try to pretend, like some other guy who stil stuck with the project work. Clever enough halt!

Tomorrow we have to go back, don't we? Even thinking about that made me sad. I have to go again, to that hell hole whic call home!

How much I enjoyed, these two days with all these guys. Even with Bob and Glenn! I never thought I would enjoy working with them.

jake... I didn't feel nervous working with him, instead, I started loving it. He is like an ocean full of knowledge, his contribution to our project was tremendous. He is arrogant and cold. He was even looking at my photo for a reason only the God and he knows. Then he pretended like he didn't do anything. All of these are true. But I don't know why I felt he i a lot more kind and caring from inside. What he has done, in that small room, was definitely a proof for that. He didn't we to see me, or Luke get into trouble. He just saved both of us, didn't he?

Yesterday night when I was going to sleep I was in angry with him, but tonight I was really grateful to him.

On the other hand, Luke became more and more closed to my heart, with his charming joyful nature. He treated me like I has been friends with since forever.

Having little chit chats with him here and there made me felt over the moon. How nice it would be to talk with him after I reveals himself to me?

Please, God, make it happen soon!!! I am getting utterly desperatell!

I wonder how it would be to chat with him, just as Sarah and Luke just two friends!

But how I can get it to happen?

I was thinking of holding my phone to my chest.

FACEBOOK!

Yeah! Facebook!!!

I should activate my FB account and send him a request. He will definitely accept it. There is no doubt. But would he thin something else?

itis not that I have a thousand friends on FB, I have only a few friends, most of them are complete strangers as well. I anyway didn’t find FB is that interesting, so I always keep my account deactivated, I only activate it whenever I need to go and find something on FB, or I have got to submit some assignment in a FB group. Other than that, I used to go and look : Jake's profile from time to time. He is not one of my FB friends, but I just went and look at his profile picture. He rarely updates his profile picture, but I loved to look at his photott

Nol! Luke won't think anything about that! He would be happy!

Without thinking again, 1 just opened the FB app and activated my account.

Great!!!

I searched for his name. Luke Bernards...

There he is... His profile picture was a one taken after a football match, he was holding a medal and smiling from every single muscle of his face.

God! you are so damn handsomeltt

I sent him a friend requestit

Did I really send that? Yeah, I did that... Anyway, he always does everything for us. I also have to do something for us right I stayed a few minutes closing my eyes. Before I fell into a deep sleep, I opened the FB app, with my eyes half-closed.

He has accepted my requestiil! God!ll he has accepted ith!

My drowsiness just vanished to somewhere.

I started to scroll through his account. He has uploaded a lot of photosit Most of them were taken during football matche it was really interesting to look at all his photos and posts.

He is indeed really famous in FB, there are thousands of comments and reactions to his photos, especially from girlsit which made me bit sad and a lot jealous.

God! I have to sleep... I can't just keep o scrollinglit Why the hell you have uploaded this much photos, i***tin

Next day morning we get together and prepared for the presentation.

Other teams were so much exhausted and they were not even in good condition to deliver a presentation. On the other hand, we were refreshed and all ready to go.

I don't know about the content of their project, but almost all of their presentations suck. They were not attractive at all. All the speakers were so tired, and they couldn't even properly answer the questions asked by the judging panel.

When it is our turn to go, three of us went to the front. I must say Dean, bob, and Glenn had done a marvelous job in the presentation slides and it looked very professional yet eye-catching.

When 1 go and stand in the front, in the middle of the most handsome and most loved two guys in our batch, all the eyes were focussed on us. All the girls were dying with envy. Usually, I feel all scared to stand in front of a large crowd because no matter how good I deliver, they find something to make me embarrassed. But today the story is totally different. I felt extremely confident and proud.

We nailed the presentation, three of us synced with each other effortlessly and the flow of presentation was perfectly smooth.

“Incredible!” Prof. Cooper said as we finished our presentation. All the lectures applauded in agreement.

itis literally impossible to hear such a comment from Prof. Cooper.

Ms. smith even gave us a thumbs up!

I was almost in tears with happiness.

I didn't care about all the deadly stares I was getting from our batchmates. I knew I have to deal with them after getting back to university. But for now, 1 am so damn happy and proud.

All six of us started to shake hands with each other and congratulate ourselves.

When 1 offered my hand to Jake, he shook it firmly with that rare smile back on his sculpted face.

Oh! God! that smile can make any girl fall for him in an eye blink.

Next, it was Luke! When I was going to shake his hand, he just hugged me surprisingly!

I didn't know what happened or how to react...

I was crushed in his strong arms...

Then he whispered to my ears...
