An Innocent Heart Longing For Love

Anna wore a loose light green chiffon blouse and a matching pair of white pants. Her golden blonde hair pulled up in a ponytail, it swayed when she walked in the platform and she wore a white sneaker matching her pant.

Shane gave her a full hour tutor to not reveal her identity and follow the safety measures and also not to trust anyone. When he was lecturing, she hoped that one day, he might change the way he treats her and accepts her as his better half and love her the same way that she loved him.

Anna walked into the campus grudgingly. After asking for direction, she found the main block of her department, she looked around to find her class. Anna saw a young man leaning against the wall near the classroom, he looked like some one she knew well.

Anna marched fast towards him and realized who it was, "George! What are you doing here."

He was the boy who barged into Anna's room on her secret wedding date. 

George's smile broadened when he saw the happy Anna standing in front of him, "Anna! Did you miss me?"

"Damn! Yes, I missed you all. Are you going to be my classmate?" Anna Shrieked.

"Hell yes! And I missed you too, Anna." All his boyish look and chubby little cheek now turned out into a manly demeanor just in few months of separation.

Anna looked at the grown man, "You have changed so much. Look at you!" She circled around George.

"Yea! Look over here! Is this new haircut, Awesome?" George boasted up enthusiastically pointing his hair.

"You did color your hair too." There was a slight tinge of red shade hid in his brown hair shining when the sun rays hit the spot.

George replied, "Yeah! Do you like it?"

"Man! I love it. I want to color too." She looked at his pointed hair in admiration.

Both of them started chatting harmoniously. "Man! Tell me about everything, how are Christopher and Scarlett? Did you see them? Or least did you get any news about them? And also how is Naia?"

"Are you asking about me?" Naia who was standing behind them watching in silent, finally spoke up as she waved her hands at Anna.

Anna hopped up and down, "You both are here, how lucky I am. How did you know, I am here? Is this just a coincide?"

"Not a coincidence." Naia declared.

"Not at all." George confirmed.

"After you left, we tried all the means we had to contact you. But in no way we can reach you, and then Chris darling helped us to get information about your college enrollment. So here we are, we fly here to join you, how would I let you stay alone." Naia explained non-stop about how they searched for her.

' That eavesdropping little punk, Chris, he is such a handy when in need ' Anna's eyes brightened when she learnt how her half brother helped her.

"You are the best, Naia!" Anna clung to her while George held a broad grin in his face, "Do you like New York, this place is amazing. I love it."

Naia's mischievous smile spread across her face, "Babe! I didn't get a chance to look around. Today, we should hit a night club and rock and roll." 

Anna stepped back and held her hands at the back and her feet dug the floor. If it was a playground probably there would be a huge hole by now. Anna looked at the cunning girl and whispered reluctantly, "I can't, Naia!"

"Why not? Aunt Lulu is not here, now who is holding you as a captive. Girl! You should learn to live your life at least for once in a while." Shocked Naia rocked Anna violently.

Anna pouted her lips, "No! My teddy bear, I simply can't roam around, don't ask me why."

George fumed "What now?! Is that sc.u.m Shane is holding you hostage."

Anna gave a cold stare to George, "Watch your words, buddy. I'll break your jaw then you can never eat your favorite King-sized burger. And also no one is holding me back, I need to stay at home for a while."

"Once I am done, we can break the rules, hit the night club and rock and roll. Naia! you have to teach me, Air-max power moves. Please! please!! I want to hit the streets too."

Anna once again clung to Naia's arms.

"Anything for you, my sweet darling! We will organize a band and hit the streets together. What do you say?" Naia raised her hands to give a high-five.

"Count me in." George joined in showing his fist for a bump.

"You are most welcome. So, we already have a miniature band. let's start practicing today." Anna excitedly dragged them into the classroom. The classroom was already half filled. As usual, they marked the back bench as their territory.

Though Anna was a white flower in the home, she was a celebrity in her high school. There was no one that hadn't heard of 'three stars' in high school.

Anna was a favorite student to many teachers and always secured a good rank in the academy. Many envied 'Three Stars' but they - Anna and her gang - never gave a damn to them. They were well known for their hip-hop moves and air-flares.

Naia examined the girl up and down, "You look gorgeous! You must wear more of this kind of dresses, I hate your old worn out dresses. But this one is perfect. You are perfect, we must do more shopping."
