Spoken Lies And Broken Ties

Mark's P.O.V.

" Tia, wait for me in the lobby, let me park the car and I'll meet you there in five minutes." I drove towards the parking lot after Tia got out. I was moving towards my usual spot to park my car but it was already occupied, that surprised me. I wasn't surprised because my spot was occupied but the fact that someone had the nerves to park in my spot? Who dared to do that? Everybody knows it is my spot and no one ever has dared to park in my spot expect that loser Mosley.

Taking a step closer towards the car I realised it was a red Lamborghini Aventador S. It was the latest model of Lamborghini. Jerold Mosley, the loser can only dream about this car but can't own it. There is no way in hell this car belongs to him. I haven't seen this car at the college before, I guess this is some new loser who thinks he can claim something that belongs to Mark. Boy, what's mine remains mine, even if it is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g parking spot. I don't like to share my things. Whoever this guy is, he seriously needs to learn this and I am determined to do just that. I smirked, thinking about what I am gonna do to this guy when I find him. But I must say this guy has an exquisite taste in cars. This is really an amazing model, more expensive than my own Lamborghini model. I spotted another vacant space near my usual spot and parked my car there.

On my way to lobby, I saw everyone whispering and talking hushly as if discussing the latest gossip. What's this fuss all about? What is everybody talking about? I bet some new gossip is doing rounds here. I walked towards the lobby and saw Tia flirting with Toby. Toby Price is the vice-captain of college football team and one of my good friends.

"Hey cap, what's up?" Toby greeted me as I approached them. Yes, I am the captain of the football team. Sounds great right?

Tia immediately turned, came to my side and held my hand. She thinks I don't know that she sleeps with Toby behind my back but she doesn't know Toby told me this the very first day. I seriously don't mind the idea. Girls like Tia can never be loyal, they are just after the guy's looks and his money. And Tia is just worth a week or two and it's already been a week with her. The girl has got no brains, trust me on this but the s.e.x is good and I don't mind keeping her another week for the s.e.x.

"Toby, what's going on? Why is everybody so absorbed in gossiping? Is there some interesting news that I don't know about? " I asked Toby when Tia went to talk to her friends, or more like her stupid girl gang who follow her like lost puppies. Poor them.

" Yes, there is a new girl in the college, everybody is talking about. Boys are excited to see her and the girls are as usual jealous. I have heard she is the daughter of one of the Millionaires of the city." Zack, Dylan, Brendon and Stefan joined us. We all are on the football team together.

"She is hella hot and fiercely s.e.xy," Brendon added. "I am definitely gonna ask her out." Brendon said dreamily.

"Ahan, I see she is already so famous here." I said enjoying the discussion.

"Man, she is really hot and classy." It was Stefan's turn to add more compliments to the list.

"Every guy is inwardly thinking about this girl and some are already fascinating about her. Zack joins the conversation. This means everybody has seen her except me. I need to see this new girl, everybody is talking about. What's so special about her that has got every guy so hooked.

"If this girl is posing such a challenge to us guys, why don't we make a bet. Whoever manages to get the girl to say yes to be his girlfriend within a month, wins 50,000 dollars. Each one of us will give 10.000 dollars to the winner. How's this?" Stefan proposed.

"Sounds like a great plan." Brendon was too happy to hear about this.

" Guys, she doesn't seem like other girls, she is definitely a beauty with brains. She is the topper of her school. I don't think she is an easy catch." Zack informs.

"Oh come on, Zack, when has any girl said no to us. No girl can ever resist our charm. Stop worrying too much." Toby said and we all couldn't agree more.

"Let's see, who wins her." Toby said excitedly.

"When have I ever said no to any bet. Who minds the free money anyway? Get ready to lose 50,000 dollars, boys. I am gonna win this bet as usual." I said confidently.

"I will get this girl under my spell within no time and I will take the cash home with me." I said moving towards the cafeteria for a latte."

The cafeteria today has this rich and sweet strawberry fragrance. I have been in contact with this amazing fragrance after so long. It reminded me of her. She literally used to smell like strawberries, fresh out of strawberry farms.

Ignoring all the thoughts running through my mind, I ordered my latte. While waiting for my order I started looking around the cafeteria, it is still very much crowded as there's still some time for the first lecture to start.

Looking around the cafeteria, a particular someone caught my eye. She was standing with a girl and a boy, their back towards me and everybody in the cafeteria was looking at them and whispering among themselves. I was bewildered for a second as to why everybody was staring at them but then it hit me, she must be the new girl everybody is talking about. She is that new girl, our bet for the month.

I took my latte from the sweet lady at the cafeteria after paying for my order. I was moving towards the tables to have a seat when the two out of those three new students turned around.

I saw the familiar faces and immediately recognised them as Kate and Jim. That girl was yet to turn around, she was taking her time talking to a girl with her.

Suddenly I had this weird feeling in me thinking about who that girl can possibly be. I guess my heart was secretly wishing to see her again. But I let those feelings skip. She is not her. She cannot be her. I tried to convince myself but failed miserably.

"Can she really be her?" My subconscious was thinking. "No, she'll never agree to be in the same college." I defended. "Maybe she doesn't know, you are here. " I was having an inward battle with my subconscious.

A second later she turned around and I froze at my spot, the latte slipped from my hand and it spilled all over the floor.

She looked familiar.

After observing her for a second, I was sure, it was her.

"Reb," I whispered breathlessly.

"Yes, she is Reb, your Reb. Told you but you weren't ready to accept it." My subconscious chirped happily.

But she looks different, very different.
