"Please! Help me for the last time, I promise I will listen to you always. How long will I have to keep standing in the cold?" pleaded Carter.
"You have made me a liar, because of you I keep lying to auntie," scoffed Nina.
"Please, my little sis" Carter made his cute puppy face that always seemed to melt Nina's heart. "Ugh, fine! I will help you but this is the last time" said Nina as she threw the rope out of the window.
Carter took it and happily climbed the way up to the window. After getting inside "thanks," he sighed in relief.
Nina sniffed, aiming for him "It's good that you aren't drunk, otherwise I would have definitely told aunt. By the way, don't you and your silly friends get tired of this partying? Almost every weekend you party, and as it becomes too late auntie shuts off the doors. And I have to help you come inside." she complained.
"Oh, just because you help me, you can't call my friends silly, Fab 5 is my life and my dear sister, by now you should have gotten used to my habits" said Carter as he winked at Nina.
"Whatever, I'm gonna to sleep now. It's good that your parents have got you admitted to SPACE. We can go to University together and you will also get the fun of University life" said Carter.
"University is not for fun, it's for studies, I hope there is no one like you in SPACE" said Nina in a disgusted voice as she went out to her room.
"God, you know the reason why I had to leave my previous University, please make sure that it does not get repeated here. I will not be able to deal with it this time" prayed Nina as she dozed off to sleep.
Next morning,
"Wake up Nina, and get ready, I tried to wake Carter up, but he didn't budge" uttered Nina's Mom as she knocked on her daughter's bedroom.
Nina opened the door and greeted her mom with a smile. "Oh, you are up already, now come for breakfast. You are looking so pretty" said her mom.
Nina was wearing a pink tunic top with faded skinny jeans. Her hair was left open and a white scarf was wrapped around her neck.
After having breakfast,
"Mom, Auntie, I am going for University" she announced giddily. "No, you don't go alone, take your brother with you" said Nina's mom.
“By the way I know that Carter came home late last night and you helped him get inside. He is 2 years elder than you and then also so immature" uttered Nina's aunt in frustration. "Auntie, he is very good at heart and I am not a kid. So you and mom stop over reacting and let me go alone. I will go by the car, happy now?" said Nina.
Her auntie and mom hugged her and she went to University.
SPACE was one of the best Universitys in the city. It had all the subjects' science, Arts, Literature and everything. Nina was a science student. She stepped into the University; it was a big campus indeed. Some students were playing guitar, others were studying and some were just flirting around. She saw a guy dressed in a black T shirt, he had tattoo all over his arms, and he was staring weirdly at her. Nina became nervous and walked fast; accidentally she collided with a girl.
"Are you planning on killing me this early in the morning?" winced the girl.
"Hey, I am sorry actually that guy was following me," apologized Nina.
"It's fine, I just have a habit to over react. Haven't seen you around, new here?" asked the girl. "Yes, hi I am Nina" she introduced. "Hi, I am Eva Merchant. Ah, that's why I was wondering, I haven't seen such a pretty looking girl here" said Eva.
"You seem very sweet, will you be my friend? I am feeling like an alien here" said Nina.
"Sure, come on I will show you around but let's go to the cafe first," said Eva and Nina nodded.
At the café,
"I will have a black coffee" said Nina. "How boring, one cream filled milk tea for me" said Eva. Nina liked her company; she seemed very nice and good at heart. After talking for a while she found out that they were from the Dannye department of science. Nina saw that a group of 4 people were playing something with a bottle. "Eva, what are they doing?" she asked curiously.
"Jeez! They are Fab 5, stay away from them, they are very mean kind of people. These 5 friends, Aaron, Sam, Carter, Kim and Aisha they run a musical band and also make people’s life hell with their evil doings." said Eva and Nina remembered that Carter said he was also a member of the same group.
"Where is Carter?" asked Kim.
"Probably, he is sleeping, Aaron, you seem sad, did you mom bother you again?" said Sam.
"Let's not talk about it and she is not my mom" Aaron growled.
They were playing a dare game, the bottle would spin and stop on one person, then they will have to perform a dare with a student, it was pass time for FAB5. The bottle went over to Aaron. "Yay, it will be fun, now I want something interesting, so far the dares were all boring" said Aisha as she looked around.
Aisha spotted Nina and Eva, "look at those two, they seem so down market, I know they might consider kissing as a sin. Aaron Go and kiss the girl with the pink top, she seems new, let's show her who are the bosses here," she pointed out to Nina.
"What?" Aaron yelled "I am not going to do that!" he said.
"Haha, maybe Aaron Hudson has lost his charm, he thinks that the girl will not let him kiss her" laughed Danny and his friend from the other table. Danny was the number one hater of Aaron and his friends as they stole his limelight.
"It's affecting our reputation now, show them your charm" said Kim.
"What rubbish" uttered Aaron.
"Every girl will go on her knees just to get a wave from me" announced Aaron proudly. "Okay, then prove it to us" Danny challenged.
"Fine, watch me" said Aaron replicating the challenge in Danny's eyes as he went over to Nina and Eva. "Oh God, why is he coming towards us?" said Eva while hiding her face with her scarf.
"Who? That tall guy? Do you know him?" asked Nina. "He is the head of those devils, don't look at him, look elsewhere," said Eva.
Nina was confused.
"Hi girls, seems like you are new here, I am Aaron" said he as he stretched forward his hand to her.
Nina smiled nervously "Hi, I am Nina" she held his hand hesitantly.
He looked at her and thought that she was really cute. "Will you come with me for a second?" he asked.
Eva was shaking her head in denial. Aaron glared at Eva and she hid her face in her scarf again. "Come, let me introduce you to my friends," smiled Aaron as held her hand and took her to the side where everyone was sitting. He seemed soft spoken to her, and she had heard from Carter that fab 5 were good, so she went with Aaron.
All of a sudden he pulled her into his arms, Nina was shocked and was struggling to get free, but he tightened his hold around her waist. "Go Aaron" shouted Kim and Aisha.
Aaron had that Evil smirk on his face, "What are you doing? Leave me" said Nina as she struggled more. Ignoring all her protests, he leaned in, his lips were only an inch away from hers, Nina panicked.
She was thinking of something to get him away from her.
Just then she placed her foot on his shoe and pressed it tightly. "Ahhh" he screamed in pain and loosened his grip. Nina got the chance and ran away with Eva following her.
Danny and some others were laughing, "Looser Aaron got ditched by a girl" they teased him.
A rage of anger developed in Aaron, "I am not going to spare you" he said aiming at Nina.
