CHAPTER 4

'Kaden' This can't be. After all this years of avoiding him, not now, not today. I knew he is an architect and has a big company named 'Ford Architect.Inc', but I had no idea he will be here in this presentation. After high school I planned on avoiding him my whole life.

Relax Aanya. He his just here to give the presentation like you. So what, if he has become more good looking in all this years. His black hair tousled carelessly yet professionally looked perfect on his face and his perfectly chiseled jaw. His eyes... God his eyes, still as mesmerizing as ever, the most beautiful shade of BLUE with flecks of green. Ohk stop... you need to stop Aanya.You cannot fall for him. Remember he was the one to leave you and broke your heart.

That's when Mr. Richardson came in the conference room and took his seat.

"Ok ladies and gentlemen, as you all know I am planning to open my branch in U.K. So I have personally invited the best architectural firm to present me with some of your ideas on how is my branch going to be designed. You all have been given the numbers on whose going to perform when. So, shall we start?" Mr. Richardson said.

And just like that, the 1stcompany came to present. I got lost in my world. Just like we say 'Physically present and Mentally absent' Right know I was the definition of this quote.

I still remember my life in my high school.

**FLASHBACK**

Our senior year had just started. You can see all different types of people here. The Jocks, the Barbie's, Nerds.. Etc... Students were all in the hallway running, kissing or just bored to care about all these. Well I was among the last category. I was smart with good grades but most definitely not a nerd. I was tall had right curves in right places. The jocks flirted with me, some still do . is it so hard for them to understand that I don't care. But I always blush, just when they try and flirt with me. Maybe that's the reason theydon't get it that I don't like them. They just don't feel right. I never felt butterflies from just looking at them. They all just needed one thing. Sex. I am very shy with new people, only when I am completely comfortable with their company, I am completely different person.

I was not that popular but liked to stay in my own world. I was not like those girls who jump on any good looking guys that they see. I got disgusted by those Barbie's if that's what you call them. How can someone put so much makeup on their face that its impossible to identify their original skin tone.

Suddenly Seth comes to me n says "Hey Aanya, I really need your help on my history project I am not getting a thing"

"Of course Seth. When?" I asked.

Seth is a football player and the typical badboy. You see he tried to flirt with me last year but he soon got the idea , that am not interested. Thank God for that. Now he is my friend. He is very good with his studies except history and I love History, so when ever he has some problem with the subject I help him.

"How about tomorrowafter school? I have practice today." Seth said.

"Fine with me. So see you tomorrow after school. Bye" I said and started walking towards my locker. Going back on my thoughts about high school's population.

I was brought out of my day dreaming again by someone's squeal. "Aanya!!! Its so good to finally see you after 4 weeks. Omg, I missed you so much." Sarah,my best friend said while giving me a hug or should I say squeezing the life out of me.

"Sa..rah.. Cant.. Breath.." I said struggling for air.

"hehe.. Oops sorry." She said while giving me a little space to breath. Ahh Air.. How I missed you.

"Hi Sarah. How was your trip.?" I asked. Sarah had gone to France for 4 weeks with her parents for this holiday.

"Omg! Aanya you won't believe how beautiful it is...." And she told me every single detail of how it went. We had our 1st lecture together. Victoria or Tori was already there waiting for us near her locker. She is my other friend not as close as Sarah but a good friend.

"Hello ladies. How was your holidays guys?" She asked.

"Good." "Fantastic." I and Sarah replied simultaneously.

"Did you guys hear that there is a new guy in Senior year who just moved here a month ago." She said.

"Well that's strange. Its quite rear for anyone to move in their senior year." I said.

"Is he hot? What are his classes? Does he have classes with us?" Sarah asked.

"Alright guys. If we don't get to our class Mr. Smith will give us a detention not the new boy" I said.

"Ya lets go." Tori said.

We reached the class just before the bell rang. As Mr. Smith was going to start with the class a boy came in like he could care less for what anyone thinks.

He was the most handsome guy I have ever seen. Though he was giving the whole bad boy attitude, he was a freaking Greek God. Well it seems its not only me who thinks that he is impeccably handsome because each and every girl in the classroom were drooling over him.

"He's the one" Tori said.

No shit Sherlock. I wanted to say that but didn't.

"Alright class, this is Kaden Ford. He is here to attend senior year with us. So make him feel invited" Mr. Smith said.

Oh he will be more than invited Mr. Smith. Kaden just gave a small smirk that had all the girls fall on their knees. Just mentally obviously. By the looks of it, anyone can tell he is a badboy player- the type I hate or rather avoid- but for some reason I felt my stomach flutter when our eyes met even if that was for a second.

Days passed and by the rumors going on Kaden was quite famous cause 1. He had looks to die for. 2. He was good like really good at football. 3. He was dating the head cheerleader. What I saw next confirmed our 3rdrumor. There he was shoving his tongue down Chelsea's mouth. And there was my best friend Sarah, who thinks Chelsea is the best. Sarah is in love with this girl, I don't know why. One thing was for sure that whether I have any tini tiny feelings fir him I am going to stay clear of him no matter what.

.

.

Oh shit! God why me. you got to be kidding me. Just before this lecture I was thinking that I'll stay clear of Kaden but Mr. Smith has some other plans it seems. To be specific, as we entered our class Mr. Smith informed us that he is assigning us a project that we do with partners. And before anyone could celebrate he said, he has already assigned our partners. And just my luck I got Kaden as my partner.

"What's your name love?" Kaden asked sitting next to me.

"Its definitely not 'love'" I said. Shocking myself when I actually answered him and not blush.

"Touché. Hmm so how about sweetheart?" He smirked.

I just shook my head and was about to answer him when Mr. Smith spoke, "Kaden, Aanya what's going on. You guys have to study not talk"

The confident jerk that he is just stood up and said "Sir, we were discussing about the project."

After the teacher got back to do his work Kaden turned to me and smirked, "So, Aanya huh. I like your name. Its different. But I have got a better name that suits you. How about 'ANGEL'?"
