Chapter 1:A Familiar Stranger
Fiona's POV
" It's finally time to leave. From today I will start living my dream. A new life." A soft smile appeared on my face.
Oh Someone is calling me. Mom!!!
"Yes, Mom, I'm coming." As I walked downstairs from my room, I saw my mother busy for packing stuff.
" You already pack enough thing for me. Now stop it . I can't carry this much thing with me." I said with a annoying face.
"I'm not packing anything unnecessary. I'm giving you what you'll always need. Now take this and go put it in your bag." Mom handed me a big bag . This is the size of half of my luggage.
Is she kidding me ??? How can I put this in my bag ... It's look like a whole house in it .
"Are you kidding me? If I put this in my bag, how will I get the clothes?" I said with annoyance.
"Go and throw away those makeup things. You don't need those makeups. You are already pretty."
Wow... But wait... Did she yell at me or praise me?
I was about to say something when I heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. Oh shit I'm late. I ran, put the bag my mom had given me in the luggage, and went downstairs with the luggage.
I saw my dad standing by the car to pick me up. He took my luggage from me and put it in the car.
"Be careful, don't fight with anyone, eat your meals on time, and study well." Mom hugged me.
"You too will be careful and there is no reason to worry about me. I am a grown up now." I said with smiled.
Dad said, "If you keep talking like this, we'll be late reaching the airport."
I quickly got into the car and sat down.
"Bye bye mom and my little witch."
Yeah A little witch... I'll miss her.
"Listen my dear If there is any problem, call me immediately. I will try to fix all your problems. And I have already arranged everything else you need. " Dad said so calmly.
" Love you Dad..."
" And yes, there will be another person with you in the flat. Even though you share the flat, you will still be careful."
Okay... I have a partner in my flat ... Is it boy? or girl? Should I asked.... No no no I don't need to make him worried by asking anything...
I know I can do it... Now I'm a independent woman.. Woah what a relief....
" Yeahh " suddenly I said with too much excited.
" What happened? You look so happy? About the flat partner? " Dad asked
" Oh... Ah... No no actually I'm excited because of varsity. " I said with embarrassed.
Oh Fiona be calm in front of Dad please!!!!
After 1 and half hours we reached to the airport.
" Bye bye Dad. Please take care of yourself. Love you "
" Love you too my dear " he said while give me a forehead kiss.
Oh London I'm coming....
" Mam take this way for the checking." Said a Lady.
After a long process of checking in, I am finally sitting in my seat on the plane.
" Oh finally. This is so long and boring. Ah "The sky is very beautiful today."
"Hey, hi." Suddenly someone said.
" Ah.... " I screamed.
" Hey hey calm down calm down... I'm not a ghost . I'm a human" said by him .
A good looking guy . I think He is about 6 feet tall. White t-shirt with a black jacket. But whatever he scared me.
" Sorry... Sorry" I said sorry to everyone for screaming.
He smiled and sat next to me.
" Hi I'm Keiran Blake and you?"
I looked at him with a weird eyes... Wow!!! what a jerk!!!
" You scared me Mr. Keiran Blake. Why are you saying hi to me like this." I said.
" Oh you scared? Actually I become so excited after watching a girl beside me. That's why I am so excited" he said with a annoying smile.
" Wow... What a asshole."
He smiled after hearing me.
He was going to said something. Before he said a word I immediately put headphones on so I wouldn't have to hear him.
I fell asleep. When I woke up, we had already reached London.
"So tell me now, what is your name?" He asked this question first.
" Fiona Hayes"
"Oh nice name Fiona. So Where will you stay?"
" That's none of your business." After saying this I'm leave the plane.
" That's rude by the way." Keiran said.
I took a cab from outside the airport and went to the front of my apartment building.
Oh... Now I'm here.
Suddenly, another car came and stopped in front of my car.
Holy shi.... That plane guy..
"Hey hi Fiona." He screamed when he saw me. "You're in this building. I'm in the building next to you. So we're neighbors from now on." He said while smiling.
Wow what's wrong with him ??? Why he is acting like he is so happy?? Stupid.
" Oh let me help you " he said
" No need just leave this "
" I will help you please don't say no "
" Can you tell me what's wrong with you? Why are you so clingy? I don't even know you. Just go to your place."
" Oh you are being so mad. I just want to help you that's it. "
I saw people watching us from all sides. So I didn't let him create a scene anymore and agreed to his words.
We reached in front of my apartment. He handed me the bag and said, "Not everyone is bad and not everyone has any bad intentions. Don't think of everyone the same."
He left before I could understand him or say anything.
"What's wrong with him? And what did he say all this? Whatever "
When I entered the apartment with my card, I saw many boxes and two suitcases.
"Wow, Dad has already arranged all my things here."
When I went to open the boxes, someone said, "Those boxes aren't yours."
A familiar voice stopped me.My hand froze. No... It can't be.
"Oh, I thought these were mi... " slowly I turned around and was completely stunned. I didn't have the strength to say anything.
There he was. Rhys Rowan.
" Fiona?" He said.
" Rhys ? " The only word that came out of my mouth at that time.
For a while, we were completely stunned by the sight of each other. Suddenly, he broke the silence and said, "Hey you're here. This was totally unexpected. I never thought I'd see you here."
He said like he is so happy after watching me.
" So you are my apartment partner. I was wondering who it would be. Let's hope someone I know is with us. You're coming from far, drink water."
He gave me the glass of water . I took it and sat down on the couch next to him and drank some water. I don't know what's going on.
"So you are here . For why ?" I asked him
"What with that question? Of course I came for study. And you too must have come for study." he said.
" What? Are you not happy? " He asked.
" Huh ? Why not obviously I'm happy after all living with a knowing one is safe . By the way which one is my room?" I asked him .
"Oh, I saw your room, everything was already arranged in that room, so I knew it was yours. I saw this apartment, everything was arranged. "
"My dad did all this. He arranged everything in advance so that I wouldn't have any problems."
" Oh he is actually great. Give him extra thanks from me." He said with a smile .
I smiled back and come to my room.
" Hey Fiona.... " He called me .
" What ? "
"If you could help me organize everything, I would be happy to help you. Actually, it's a mess thing."He came to my door and said .
"Okay, fine. I'm just going to wash my hands and face. I'll come. " I replied.
After washing my hands and face, I went to help Rhys.
"Are you serious? You're still that messy person. Let's start, who can say when it will end? " I smiled.
He smiled too.
We started fixing everything and the work was finished late at night.
"Finally.. Now we can rest."
Suddenly, both of our stomachs started growling. We were hungry.
We smiled and going to make some food .
"So which university did you get admitted to?" Rhys asked.
" Brunel University " I replied.
" What ? Which course? " He asked.
" Textile Technology. "
" I have been admitted to civil engineering in same university."
"Wow, we chose not just same apartment but also same university." I said with a coincidence laugh.
