lost is a lovely place
to find yourself....

Scarlett's pov

Oh god!
I'm again late for my class.
Why do I never saw up on time? Stupid me!
And why do always I have to delete the alarm and they again go back to sleep thinking I have one kind of superpower to wake up on time.
Ughh!!

"Scar, come out. We are already late."
Kat shouts from outside.

I quickly put on my shoes and run downstairs.

I was halfway down when I remembered I forgot to lock the door.
Oh, shit.
I immediately run back upstairs and quickly lock the door.

I spotted Kat inside her car.
I immediately opened the back door and sat.

"I'm not your driver,you know.
Put your ass in the front." Kat says from the driver's seat.

"Kat , don't start now. We are already five minutes late." I said.

We were halfway to the university when Kat said, "hey, send that pic we took last night. I want to gram it."

"Yeah, sure. Just a minute. Let me take my phone out." I searched through my bag for my phone but....I wasn't able to find it.

Oh, please not let me have forgotten it back at the apartment.
Please, pretty please!

I'm so stupid. I can never keep track of my things.

I just looked at Kat through the mirror and she understood.
Well,her laughing at me means she understood, right?

"You are really so stupid and careless Scar. Imagine if one day you forget your husband and be like, oh shit! I forgot my husband at home. Don't worry, this happens to me all the time." She laughed out loud.

"You better concentrate on driving." I huffed.

"Well, but there's the thing, Xander won't ever let you forget him." She said giving me that raised eyebrow look.

What is it with people who can raise their one eyebrow, mostly left one so easily. I can never do that. And even if I was able to do that, I would never show off like these people. Huh!

We reached our destination in a few minutes.

Okay, so if I or when I come across Sean , first thing is I need to ask him about his head. I hope it's alright. And secondly, we'll just be like before, like friends. I'll turn him down very nicely.
Yess, great!

So let's go..

Oh no, did I say that too early?
Cause Sean's standing right at the door if my first class.
Geez! God, you didn't have to listen to me so soon.
Okay,I can do this.
He's not a killer, just a boy whose head I bumped into headboard. Yes, no problem.

He spotted me standing there.
I quickly put a smile on my face.
"Hey, Scar. It's great to see you. Why didn't you come to class since two days? Are you alright? Were you sick? Do you need any help? You know I'm there fir you. Tell me, are you not well?" He asked worriedly looking at my face in concern.

Oh, he's so sweet and nice and gentle but I can't bring myself to like him romantically. He's a great person.
What's wrong with me? Why can't I like this so handsome and nice make specimen.

He cupped my face, "Scarlett, please tell me. I care about you."

I took his hands off my face gently.
"Sean, as much as I would have loved to talk to you, I really need to get to class, I'm already ten minutes late,okay? "

He nodded his head, "But the are no classes till 12 today."

"What? What do you mean no classes?"

"Didn't you receive the email? There's this seminar.today. No business classes till 12 so." He said.

"What emai? Oh, I didn't check my account since two days. I didn't read it.
Can you tell me about this seminar." I requested.

"Yeah sure. Its nothing, just a some top billionaire is coming to give us some tips, you know." He explained vaguely.

"Hmm." I just nodded.

We'll see who this person is anyway.

"So.. uh.." he started.

I looked up at him.

"We should probably go towards the hall."

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, we should." Saying that we both started walking.

I could notice he wanted to say something. And so do I.
He kept looking at me.

I took a deep breath.
"Look Sean...." I started but was cut off by him.

"Scar,I wanted...."
"Please listen to me. I want to apologize for how I behaved at my party. I'm so sorry for it. I was drunk. I lost control. It won't ever happen again. I'm really sorry."

I could see it on his face that he meant it.
He was really sorry for what he did.

"Yeah, I forgive you. You are my friend.
I hope so it doesn't happen again. Also, I'm sorry too."

"For?" He asked.

"I'm sorry for...for you know, your head.
Which reminds, I hope so it doesn't hurt.
I didn't mean to hurt you." I said looking at his head as if I'll get all the answers to my questions just by looking at it.

He looked confused at first but then he remembered.
"Oh, that. Please don't be sorry about it.
I deserved it."

"But still."

We both looked down.
I started, "so ...um..hall."

"Yeah"

He stopped, "but wait, this doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. I still lo.. like you very much. I'm not backing off. I'm gonna make you fall for me."
He eyes told how determined he was regarding this.
I didn't want this.
What am I gonna do?

He didn't let me answer and walked away.
I let it go fir the time being. I have much important things to focus on.
Like talking with Maria today.

I followed after him and soon we reached the hall.
I saw Mia and Kat sitting at the last row.
We had a thing of sitting at the last. But just in case of sitting.
Sean took my hand and started walking them.

The seminar was gonna start in 2 minutes.

"Good morning everyone. I am Raul Piper as you all know. Today, I'm here to welcome a very important guest of our who I'm sure will be a great inspiration for you all. He's the person who can tell you a lot if things about business world.
He is........blah blah blah"
He kept speaking. I didn't pay much attention to it. I never do.
Only when the name of a certain person came, did it catch my attention.
That certain person... that name seemed familiar. I couldn't remember when last heard it but I know I've heard it before.

"..... welcome, Mr. Lucas Rodriguez."

The person that came on the stage was...
It was that idiot from day before yesterday who said that I bumped into him. He's that stupid fellow with that kinda familiar smile.

He was looking around the hall as if finding someone. His eyes stopped when they met mine. Those dark eyes.

He started his speech. It went for an hour or so.
It was time for questions. He seemed to always pick me to answer.
I knew most of the answers to his questions. Even he seemed impressed by me but I can't help but feel as if there's something more to him. There's a purpose behind his every move.

Finally, the seminar came to an end.
I was exiting the hall when an arm stopped me. It was Sean.
"Scar, we are not going to any classes today. We all are going to watch movies today at my place. You are coming." Saying this, he started dragging me forwards.

Before he could move further, a large, rough looking hand stopped him.
I followed the hand to its owner's face and it was none other than the stupid fellow. Wait, lemme call him Mr. Smile.
Hmm,suits better I guess.

"Miss Williams cannot go with you anywhere, Mr. Miller." Mr. Smile aka Lucas said.

"And why is that ?" Lucas asked looking him straight in the eyes.

Mr.Smile looked at me before answering.
"Because Miss Williams is assigned to show your university around to me."

"What? She cannot do that , I'm sorry. I'm sure any other person would love to do that." Sean said and again tried to walk away. Key word being tried.

"I'm afraid Miss Williams has to do that.
I don't appreciate you talking to me this way. " Mr.Smile said. Though I named him that but this time, he looked like anything but smiling. He face said it all.

Before things could further escalate, I stepped in between.
"Sean, it's alright. I will do that. I can watch movies with you guys some other time. You go, enjoy." I said with a reassuring smile on my face.

"But Scar..." He tried.

"Please"

"Okay, fine." Wth this , he turned around.

"So, Mr. Smile....oops I mean Mr. Rodriguez. Shall we go?" I asked looking around.

He grinned at me. "What did you just say?"

"Shall we go ?" I said.

"No, before that" He demanded.

"Uh.. nothing. I said nothing. Let's go now." I started walking forward.

He tried to supress the wide smile forming on his face.

I turned around the corner to go to library first.
We reached the door of Library and this time he burst out laughing literally.

"What?" I asked annoyed by him.

"Nothing. Nothing. So Library, huh." He said controlling his laugh.

"No, don't "nothing" me. Tell me. Do you think this all is funny? A joke?"

He straightened himself.
"Nope, absolutely not. Why would I think that? Who am I think that? " He ...... again laughed. That... stupid person.

"So, pinky still loves libraries." He murmured.
