I get down from my bike in front of the faculty parking. Today is the first day of our senior year. Just another 12 months and I will say this campus goodbye forever and go to Canada to join my cousin's export business. My friends are already inside the building. As I park the bike, I took one last look at the mirror, my purple hair shining in the sunlight. The piercing in the left eyebrow makes my already rough look more intense. I begin walking towards the building, bringing out my cellphone and calling Jor.
-'Hey, where are you?', He immediately picks up.
-'In front of the building, fucker, where are you? You were supposed to be waiting for me.', I yell angrily. Knowing he is terrified of my anger.
-'Whoa! Relax, dude. I am coming down'. As expected, Jor immediately gives in.
I smile at his chicken like behavior. That's how I control most of my group members. I am a gang leader of our faculty. Of course I need to control my group well, if I want to control rest of the juniors.
As I enter the building, Jor comes to me running. I look at him, frowning. He gives me a sheepish smile.
-'Nat from the accountancy was here. Her younger brother is a freshman at our faculty...'
-'So you decided to try and take a look at her figure than waiting for me?', I interrupt him, visibly angry.
Jor shakes his head and mumbles 'Sorry'.
I can't believe this. We were supposed to meet the freshmem today. New year, new batch of students. There must be a lot of hot girls. I need to hook up with someone before the semester ends. Then another six months of dating and then I am out of here. Don't think I shall be doing long distance relationship with anyone. Nah. I have a plan. 4 years of studying business, at least 3 girl friends. Less than that - not cool for my image. More than that - people would say I am whoring - don't want that either. The girls I have dated, all knew about this plan. I am not one to deceive them and coz pain and tears. Whomever I date, knows we are not gonna last long. But girls are always so innocent. All of them think these are just empty words and I am gonna get down on one knee and pledge forever to them. Not gonna happen. My 2nd girlfriend back in 11th standard was such a girl. The break up was a damn pain in the ass. It took an entire year to get her off my back. Since then, I have learned my lessons. I only go for girls who doesn't expect anything and who agrees to my terms and conditions. Basically girls similar to me. So far, it's all good.
"Dude", Jor pulls my sleeves, "Nat is there."
I look at the 3rd year 'Miss Accountancy' sitting on a bench near our faculty canteen. She is damn beautiful, with a shape that can turn any guy's head around. I tried to hit on her but she is playing hard to get. Nevermind, I still have another year.
As I was busy with my own thoughts, Nat caught my eyes and stood up. Holy shit! She is coming towards me.
"You yelled at me before I told you everything. She is here for you", Jor whispers in my ears.
I look around. Lots of students are here. Waiting for some drama to unfold as Miss Accountancy and the 'bad boy' of Businesses Administration are both here.
"Hi Rom! " She flashes her dimples. I love her smile.
"Hey! What brings you here?", I return the smile.
"What, no sweet talking? Is it really the faculty bad guy? I thought you were a zero time waster", she laughs, a little astonished.
So I have been in the past encounters with her. But, I am gonna change my tactics.
"Well, you aren't here for sweet words, are you? You won't be looking for me if you didn't need me for some favor". I counter.
She frowns a little then decides to let it go.
"Well, I dropped by to let you know that my little brother is starting university this year. In your faculty.", she begins.
"And you want to cajole me so that I treat your brother differently than other freshmen?", I cut her off rudely and conclude.
She blinks, apparently shocked by my sudden rudeness. I may wanna bang her but I have a reputation to reserve. Students from almost all academic years of business as well as accountancy are present here. I can't just give in to a girl that easily. They will flock to ask for favors using her name.
Nat bites her lips then says, "My brother is not from around. He doesn't have much idea about things that happens around. Just..."
I wait patiently for her to finish.
"Just help him when you can. Study or otherwise. Maybe...", she trails off again.
She steps closer to me, her strong perfume hitting my sensitive nose.
"Maybe with him, you and I can form a friendship between us", she smiles pointedly.
I smirk. There. It's working. See, I knew she is the type of girl who is impressed with strength, not passion.
I pretend togive in, "Fine. I'll see what I can do. But don't expect me to baby him. He will get the same treatment from me as his classmates. " I warn her. I have always been honest of my limit, relationships or anything else.
She breaths a sigh of relief. "Of Course Rom. I appreciate it. Let me introduce you to my brother."
She looks behind and gestures someone. A boy comes forward. At first I don't give any attention to him. But when I casually looks at him, I almost stumble back. A genuine expression of deep loathe and disgust plastered all over his fair handsome face.
He already hates me.
This is going to be fun.
