A Girl Nobody Wanted

I closed my eyes embracing his warm hug. I had infinite emotions on my mind and most of them were foreign to me. However, the dominating emotion was happiness without any doubts.

I was crushing in his strong hands, but I loved the way he held me.

“We did it! 1 am so proud of us." then he whispered to my ear.

I smiled, ignoring all the disappointments in my life. I am not that old Sarah, who doesn't have anyone by her side to protect her and share her life with. Instead, she has a handsome guy who loves her and protects her...

Then he freed me. I think he held me in his hands for a few seconds. I don't really know how long. But those few seconds were enough for almost everyone to stare at us.

Giving a hug to your teammate after a triumphant presentation is not an abnormal thing to do. Then why everyone is looking at me like they want to kill me right here, right now. Yes, I got it. All these astonishments are just because it was r and Luke. A girl nobody wanted and A boy everyone loves, but couldn't approach.

Looking at all the people who were staring at me, I knew I am in trouble. Most Especially after I saw raging Shane, who hit the table with his fist with unbearable anger. I was so sure that both of us will have to regret this small hug soon.

On the other hand, Luke didn’t even care, who was looking at us or what they might thinking. He hugged Jake also, and he was in extreme bliss. His handsome face was glowing.

After he released Jake from his hug, Jake looked at me. He didn't have his rare smile on his face anymore. His face was clouded with some unreadable emotions as usual.

The journey back to university was very boring as everyone was extremely tired. Almost everyone was sleeping.

No matter how tired I felt right then, my heart was filled with happiness. As a result, I also fell into sleep in no time.

I was lying on my bed in my small cold room, thinking about all the wonderful days I spent with him and our final hug He even said “Bye” to me, when I leave university.

My sweet Luke!ll

suddenly my door was opened and I panicky sat on the bed. I usually don't lock my door, as no one come to my room.

I was entirely surprised to see Shane walking towards me.

Shane..." I said with a broken voice. Why the hells he here? Is he going to beat me?

Without saying anything he sat on my bed, keeping his eyes focused on mine.

“How you know Luke?” he asked.

“What?” is that even a question? Luke is also in the same batch as me.

“I asked how do you know him?” he again asked. His voice didn't sound like angry.

“He is in our batch,” I said in a voice that even I couldn't hear properly.

“Don't play with me, Sarah. There are several other girls in the batch, but you are the first girl he gave a hug like this in front of everyone. I am asking how you know him that well, so he gave you such a hug?” he demanded.

“Beleive me, Shane. I don't know him. We just worked together in the workshop. Other than that I have barely spoken wit him.” said. I can't tell Shane, he gave me that warm hug because he loves me. I can't let anyone knows that Luke is texti with me. No matter how much 1 hate lying, I had no other option.

He stared at me for a few seconds.

Then out of nowhere, he grabbed me from my neck and started to make me suffocate.

“Shane” I screamed, trying to lose his strong grip. He was so much stronger than me. I felt like I was going to die.

“Stay away from my friends, if you love your pathetic lifts” He yelled at me, burning from anger and then he left me. {fall to my bed coughing and crying. Why brother? Why you treat me like this?

I think my payback time has just commenced. I have to pay back for all the happiness I received in the past few days.

I cried my self to sleep, as I have done in many nights in my miserable life.

From the next day onwards, I tried to avoid Luke and Jake as much as possible. I didn’t want to make any troubles to then anyway. But Luke made it so damn hard for me to avoid him. Whenever he saw me in a corridor, or in the canteen or anywhere, he started to wave his hand at me and smile. Sometimes he even talked with me.

No need to tell I was enjoying his loving gestures, but the meantime, I was scared. If Shane got to know, that Luke is texti with me, God knows how he will react?

I had to be cautious not just about Shane, I became a common enemy of most of the girls. Luke never shows any special attention to any girl, no matter how hard they tried to get close to him. Therefore, I think they couldn't comprehend why Luke is being so friendly towards me. They tried to hurt me a few times, but fortunately, I managed to avoid them. Nevertheless, days went on like this, making Luke close to my heart more and more and making others hate me more anc more.

One day I saw on facebook that his birthday is on tomorrow.

I wanted to give him a gift, but I couldn't understand what should I give him or when should 1 give him that. If I give him : gift in university, all my problems will get worst.

On the other hand, he is a billionaire. What poor I can possibly buy him?

I was thinking so hard, what should I do, when my phone blinked with a new message.

“My sunshine. @"

I smiled at his message.

“How are you?”

“Fine. Staying on my bed thinking about you? @"

“Really? So what you think about me?”

“What you may be doing now? what you will be doing if you are here with me right now?”

“oh So what you think, I will do if 1 am with you now?”

“Well, in my mind you will do a hell lot of things if you are with me. Anyway as a summary I can tell you will be in my arm: and you will be happy and comfortable. *

I blushed even to imagine, me in his arms. God! how happy would I be?

“I know I will be happy, there is no doubt”

“BTW what's up? *

“mmm... nothing much. just lying on the bed. I have a viva with Dr. Fedric, tomorrow. So... what you are up to tomorrow?” “Well... tomorrow is kind of a big day. I have a party too”

Ves of course darling. Tomorrow is indeed a big day because it is your birthday! So you are going to have a party? Hope I also could come and wish you.

“a party???" I asked just to see what would he tell

“yeah... a birthday party”

“Oh, I see... Hope you have a lot of fun”

“Well, parties are not really my cup of tea. But this one is special so can't miss it. Otherwise, I would do everything to skif it, parties really suck, don't they?”

“do they? I don't really know. I have not attended many parties to give a comment on this” even when typing it, I felt reall bad. No one has ever invited me to their parties, except for official parties like prom. After some parties most of them attended, I had to tolerate all the fun stories they will discuss in the next few days.

“l am 50 sorry princess... made you sad, didn’t 12”

“Hey don't worry about that. You can do nothing about that. But I am sure, one day I will get to attend all the parties I wa with you by my side. @”

“Thank you for keeping your faith in me princess, that's all 1 want.”

Next day morning, I went to university. I couldn't come up with an idea for a gift yet, so I was still thinking about that.

In the washroom, I heard a few girls were talking about attending Luke's birthday party. It seems like he has invited a lot. people and he is going to have it in a big hotel. Don't get me wrong, I want all the happiness in this world for my Luke. Bu felt a bit sad because I won't get to see him being so happy at his birthday party.

I came out of the washroom with a heavy heart. I was walking along the corridor, so hopelessly until I bump into someon with a strong chest.

GODIN That is my darling birthday boy

There were not many students at the corridor, it was pretty much empty. Finally, God has given me a chance to at least wi him properly!

“Heyl” he said with a bright smile.

“Happy Birthday!” I said smiling.

“Give me a hug girlit” though he said as a request, without letting me saying anything he hugged melt

Sweet Jesusi!

I know, I should be afraid about all the eyes that would be staring at us, but at that moment, I didn't feel anything else other than his affection.

“Sarah, I have an invitation to be made,” he said looking at my eyes after he releases me from the hug.

“invitation.” my voice was almost inaudible.

“I know it is super late. I didn’t know if you are willing to come or not? that's why I didn't ask you earlier. But anyway... would you like to come to my birthday party tonight?”

am 1 dreaming or did he really tell that?

“sarah... I know you must be really pissed at me, for inviting you at the last moment..." he was saying.

“sh...” I kept my index finger on his lips and make him silent.

Are there people looking at us, well... I don't give a shit...

“ am honored to come for your birthday party,” I said, still having my finger right on his soft lips. God, Can I kiss those lip He appeared shocked.

“Greati!l 1 will send you the details in FB," he said, as I removed my finger from his lips.

I looked around. There was literally no one in the corridor. We were alone.

This is a perfect time!

I stood on my toes and placed a small kiss on his right cheek and ran away gigglingit

I did itn

I really did itu

I have no idea what he think about it. However, I hope he doesn’t need any other birthday gifts from me!
