Samuel’s Residency, Houston
Honey’s P.O.V.
“Baby, come downstairs for breakfast.”
I heard my mother’s shrill from downstairs that was enough to wake me up from my beauty sleep.
“Coming Mom,” I replied and dropped the covers off my body. Putting on my sleepers, I sprinted to the washroom while rubbing my eyes vigorously.
Hi! My name is Honey Samuels and I am 19 years old. I am a first-year student at Kingston University.
I am a bright student. People call me a nerd because of my simple clothes and mundane lifestyle but I simply ignore it. I believe in simplicity as fancy clothes and a luxurious lifestyle can make you look attractive and tempting from the outside but it can’t change your heart and personality.
My world revolves around my books, my parents, and my best friend Charlie. And that’s enough for me.
I love to study and want to complete my graduation quickly so that I can apply for a job and help my parents. We are just an average-class family. My father is a lawyer and my mother is a doctor. I also want to become a doctor like her as I love to help people.
I did my daily routine and changed my clothes. I combed my hair, put on some lip gloss, grabbed my bag, and went downstairs. Reaching the dining hall, I was greeted by my Dad who was as usual engrossed in his files.
“Good morning, Mom and Dad.
“Good morning, Princess” Dad replied as he flashed me a benign smile.
“Sweetheart come and eat your breakfast quickly. You are getting late.” Mom said as she started arranging our plates.
I quickly had my breakfast as I was already late today. I was completing my assignment last night and it was so long that I could barely get to sleep. I quickly hopped in Dad’s car. He then dropped me off at college. We bid each other goodbye and I went inside the building.

Kingston University
Playing with the strap of my bag, I was strolling through the garden before heading inside the main building when all of a sudden, a screeching sound of a car made me halt in my steps. I became too scared and turned back only to see a guy glaring at me fiercely while sitting inside his car. I looked at him perplexed but his fierce gaze was dead set on my face making my insides crawl in dread. My brows furrowed in confusion when I looked at his spaceship-type black car that was also smirking at me evilly. Everyone around us also stilled in their places to watch the show. I didn’t know how I became the center of attraction suddenly but when that guy alighted from his ravishing luxurious car and started walking toward me, I knew, it won’t end well.
That tall guy was wearing a white loose tee matched with black ripped jeans. He had a well-built physique and I could tell by his mighty height that he must be 6′2". He had chocolate brown hair and black eyes. He had a perfect sharp jawline and heart-shaped pink lips. Although he inherited all the qualities of a Greek God his aura screamed danger and power. He had a lot of tattoos carved on his left arm while he had a left eyebrow piercing which made me frown as I have never come across such students in this university. I mean I have always seen such bad boys in movies and the serials but never met them in real life. But the look which he was giving me with his dark, deranged eyes, I guess I was lucky until today.
He slowly took predatory steps toward me and towered over my 5′4" frame making me gulp in fear.
“WHAT THE HELL YOU STUPID BITCH? ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT?”
I became shocked hearing his harsh words which stabbed my heart brutally. My eyes welled up with heavy tears. No one, I swear has ever talked to me this way. But this guy not only just yelled at me but even cursed me and that too in front of the entire campus.
I felt so humiliated, so ashamed. But I didn’t want to cry in front of him so I just started walking away.
“WAIT YOU SLUT.”
He shouted from behind and chased me along. I yelped as he grabbed my left wrist and harshly turned me around.
“YOU GOT THE GUTS T-”
He immediately clammed up as soon as his red eyes met with my glistening ones. I was crying badly due to fear. My hands were trembling and I was shaking like a leaf as he kept twisting my wrist painfully.
“I am so sorry...I-”
I couldn’t find words as my throat turned dry and nothing left my mouth.
“Ethan?”
That guy turned back. I immediately took the opportunity to jerk his hands away from me and ran away from there.
End of Honey’s P.O.V.
Ethan looked back at that girl who was running away with tottering steps while wiping her cheeks with the back of her palms. He then turned to his friend who was staring at him with a disappointed face.
“Yeah?”
“You shouldn’t have yelled at her like that. It wasn’t her fault besides you were driving at an insane speed and that too inside the campus which is strictly prohibited.”
The brunette with dirty brown hair and forest green eyes replied while glaring at him angrily. Ethan’s gaze immediately darkened. He turned towards him and glared at him back furiously.
“I don’t give a damn about her, Austin. She should be walking on the side lane rather than loitering in the middle of the road. DRAMATIC QUEEN!!!”
He seethed on his face. Austin sighed.
“Ethan, she wasn’t loitering. You were driving crazily. Silly boy and you even cursed at her. At least you sho-”
“ENOUGH!! I said I.don’t.give.a.fuck.about.that.idiot. Now stop bothering me.”
Ethan growled with gritted teeth. He then got inside his car. He slammed the door shut with a loud bang and drove off at an insane speed. Austin just shook his head in defeat.

Honey’s P.O.V.
I had locked myself up in the washroom and was crying my heart out. I couldn’t bear the pain of insult which that cruel guy gave me when I wasn’t at any fault.
Suddenly my phone rang flashing my best friend’s name, Charlie. I composed myself up, wiped my tears, and answered it.
~OTP
Honey: Hello
Charlie: Hey Cutie!! Where are you? The class is about to begin.
Honey: Yeah, I am on my way.
I ended the call. I washed my face with water and wiped it with my handkerchief. I am not a fan of makeup but today I needed it as after bawling my eyes out, they have turned red and puffy. I just put some cream on my face as that was the only thing I always carried in my bag. I then applied some lip balm to my lips and fix my hair.
“God, just nobody asks me about the conflict I had in the morning. Please help me, Lord.”
I prayed and exited the washroom as I headed to my class. Charlie saw me and hugged me tightly.
“Hey Cutie!! Good M-”
He stopped abruptly when his gaze landed on my puffy face. He looked at my face worriedly but I immediately looked away from him. Charlie then lifted my chin and started scanning my face making me panic.
“What happened?”
He asked in a worried tone. I grabbed his hands and squeezed them gently.
“Nothing, just not feeling well.” I gave him a soft smile.
“Why did you come then? You should have re-
“No, I am fi-fine. Let’s sit.”
I somehow made him assured and then we both took our seats. Charlie kept glancing at me and asking me whether I am fine or not. But I just smiled at him and started taking out my books from my bag.
All of a sudden, we heard screams and cheers.
“Ethan, I love you”
“Marry me, Ethan”
“OMG!! You’re so hot”
I and Charlie looked at each other puzzled as we haven’t heard such types of noise before. We kept staring at the door confusingly. But what I saw next made my heart drop in my stomach.
He was the same cruel guy from the morning.
I looked at him in fear. He walked inside the class along with a boy and a handful of girls screaming and cheering for them like maniacs.
All of a sudden, he made eye contact with me. I immediately broke it off and diverted my eyes to the book. But I could feel his gaze on me. Charlie noticed my nervousness and asked me the reason.
“Cutie, what’s wrong?”
“Huh? No-”
Words died in my mouth when I was him standing beside our desk while staring at both of us with blank eyes. Charlie followed my gaze and saw him. He glared at him and spoke in a stern voice.
“Is there a problem?”
“That’s my seat.”
