Love Began with the First Meeting

Ever since she started schooling and as far as she could remember, Elsa never had problems with the school like what she was suffering now. Hundreds of people came to see Charlie, but because of his words, what he had said shifted the attention from him towards Elsa. More than half of Charlie's followers looked at her frequently, not out of admiration for her, but of jealousy and anger. Judging from his reputation, most of Charlie's fans were girls and they were updated as to what was latest with Charlie's life and Elsa doesn't make them that happy. With all the hassle, she thought her life was in trouble again after being dumped by Allen.

After class, Charlie put away his papers and wanted to leave the classroom immediately. However, he seemed to not to notice about Elsa's feeling. He walked towards her and said intimately, "Elsa, at six this evening." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was like the sun in spring, which people were obsessed with. "I will wait for you downstairs in your dormitory building."

With that, he stood up slowly. Everyone inside the classroom had their eyes on them and Charlie wasn't bothered by their stares at all. Preparing to leave, he looked at Elsa's shock expression and chuckled gently. The rays of the afternoon sun went through the glass window and cast a glow on his face. Looking at him with the sunlight in his background, one could say that he seemed to have a halo, angelic and magical at the same time. Then he turned and left with their dreams.

With Charlie gone, the classroom went silent, Elsa did not know how to react. Then out of a sudden, somebody shouted suddenly, "Elsa, come on, quickly......" With her reverie being interrupted, she was pulled compulsorily and ran out of the classroom. The noise came from the corridors. Students from the nearby classrooms saw blankly three girls who were outrunning another group of girls. The scenario was like a scene in an action movie. It was like the officers were running after some thief. "Elsa, stop--"

The sharp voice was from outside of their dormitory room. Elsa, Ann, and Olivia were taking a deep breath because of running fast. It took them a long time to catch their breath.

Anna was on her way to her class, holding her books in her arms. However, when she saw them, she stared up and asked, "What's wrong with you guys? What's happening here?"

Turning back to face her, Olivia swallowed hard and said, "My God......" Unable to finish her sentence she then looked at Elsa who was still blank as if she did not know what happened at all. With her pale face, she continued, "Elsa...... I just spent a weekend home. Why was everything different after I returned?" She heard about it from Anna, but today she herself saw him. It was totally different!

'Who was Charlie? Why was he into Elsa?' these were the questions on her mind.

A charming fellow and a head turner, he had become the Prince Charming of the campus since he transferred here. Being a gentleman as he was, he was gentle and pleasant to everyone but at the same time keeping some distance among girls except Evelyn. All the girls on the campus were heartbroken.

Excited and happy for her friend, Ann looked exuberantly at Elsa, hold her hands and asked out of curiosity, "Elsa, Elsa, how did you meet Charlie? Tell me, how I wish I could meet someone like him too." Looking at the other side with wishful eyes, Anna's brows were raised a little as if she had recalled something. "Wow, Charlie was so gentle, so loveable, and adorable..... Looking at Elsa again, she continued. "His skin was so flawless at a closer look. Ah, it was even better than mine!"

Rolling her eyes in disappointment, Anna looked at Elsa with her lips twitched and said, "I'll go to class for now. Be ready for your confessions when I am back." Ready to leave, she pulled Elsa out of her way and opened the door to leave. Considering that Elsa was her friend, Anna was happy that she had found Charlie after her sudden break-up with Allen.

Indeed the grass had ears. Now the rumors were spreading quickly over the college. Almost everyone knew what Charlie did to Elsa this morning, and they began to be curious about her. Even her profile was searched and published in their BBS. However, before she knew it, the website was deleted and the rumors had stopped. The admins of the site were too quick to act before she can react.

Today, Evelyn was wearing her school uniform. Under his skirt, she wore leggings to cover her bare legs. The way she dressed was in a manly style, but her big eyes and a sweet smile that complemented her outfit will make people forget her character, which was savage and violent.

"Don't let me hear of Charlie's rumors." She clenched her fist. "You need not tell me anything about him. I will solve it by myself! If I hear anything about it again. I'm going rogue and make him sorry for what he did!" Letting her vexations out, she went away with her roommate Bess.

"What? She should go and find Elsa, but not us!"

"It is her, right?"

"We won't be surprised if Charlie dumps her all of a sudden! What a violent woman! Who would dare love her? She does not deserve Charlie, so pathetic!" "Right!"

As Elsa, Ann, Olivia, and Anna went to the dining hall at noon to have their lunch, this hot topic had been talked secretly behind their backs. Everyone around them was talking with their heads lowered and their voices in a whisper. Wherever she went, everyone was staring at Elsa. Their stares and the awkward whispers made her nervous. Today was not a good day for her and she was not in a good mood.

As they passed along the hallways towards their tables, Olivia glared at those people who were staring at them. Worried for her friend, she asked, "Elsa, what are you going to do?" According to the rumors, Elsa went to buy something the other day but she forgot taking her purse and it was Charlie who saved her from the embarrassment. Moreover, it was also said that Elsa was "blackmailed" by Charlie. "Seriously, don't you know Charlie before? I mean before that day when he saved you?"

Curious this time, Ann leaned over to ask Elsa too, her eyes were ablaze because of the gossips, "Hey, you really don't know him?"

Hearing their questions, Elsa looked blank, thought about it over seriously and then shook her head. Her expressions showed that she didn't really know Charlie.

Knowing the answer to her question, Ann sat straightly again, stirring her food with her spoon. She said while curling her lips, "Well...... If I could have dinner with Charlie, I can die for him, whether I know him or not."

"Go to hell Ann!" Hearing how inconsiderate she was, Anna rolled her eyes, and they began talking and laughing totally ignoring the fuss that was around them.

Time passed so fast and they hadn't noticed that it was now time for their afternoon classes. For today's schedule, Elsa had only one class in the morning and another one in the afternoon. She prayed that evening would never come. However, no matter how hard she prayed or wished for it, what she wanted was just impossible.

Just before dusk, Charlie was already downstairs in the dormitory building. He leaned against the tree lazily, with his hands in his pockets. He got his tie off a little, and loosen two top buttons on his shirt. The breeze blew the lofty willows, as well as his thick black bangs, showing a slight scar above his left eye.
