Chapter 4 - The past

"Fresher's party ! " I screamed in excitement and being surprised .

"Yes , Fresher's party, next week there is a freshers party in the college campus, this is your chance to tell your heart's feelings to Peter." Lisa said..

"But , what if he doesn't like me, what if he rejects me ? "

"Hey, look at yourself, how can anyone reject you, and Peter? No way, he will never reject you. Peter has dated a lot of girls, and he's still single, and since you were such a wonderful childhood encounter for him, he might want to date you too , trust me "

Lisa said, giving me some hope and courage.

"But didn't you tell me that Peter is a playboy? "

"Oh my gosh, I was just telling you what is rumored, I don't even know what Peter is like in reality because I don't know him personally , And even if he is a playboy, you can become the turning point in his life.You can become that girl, for whom , he will become a one-woman man , Doesn't it seem interesting ? "

"Okay , but How do I propose to him? "

"Ohh, Natasha darling , you are so innocent, I know this is your first time but I have a lot of experience in these things, don't worry I will guide you , we have a whole week for that , but right now let's grab something to eat I'm so hungry "

"Okay , let's go ... "

We went to eat and Lisa ordered pasta. I wish I was in India right now because I was missing idli, sambar and dosa. Still, after eating pasta, we left for the class.

"Hey , lisa , i completely forgot ! I had to get a literature book from the library, i am going to get that book , you go to class and wait for me. "

"Okay , come back quickly "

"Yeah "

I ran to the library and started searching for literature books. After searching through many shelves, I found a literature book which was probably the last book of that author in the library. I ran towards him quickly, and before I could grab the book, a hand came and grabbed it. I turned around and it was Alex's hand, Peter's rival alex !

Before I could say anything, he grabbed the book and started leaving. I also got angry and shouted.

"Hey ! That book is mine! "

He also turned towards me, his eyes narrowed and he also answered me being frustrated

"Your book? But I don't see your name anywhere in it. "

"I saw this book before "

"But I grabbed it before "

"Hey, what's your problem? Can't you just give me this book? "

"You are Peter's girlfriend, right? So , Listen Peter's girlfriend , I never lose to either my rival or his girlfriend. "

"Hey, first of all , I am not his girlfriend And secondly, Peter is a nice guy , Why do you hate him so much? "

"You won't understand that , and I don't care whether you're Peter's girlfriend or his friend, but I'm not going to lose to anyone who's related to Peter. "

He grabbed the book even harder and walked away. I returned to the class being disappointed.

"Hey , You had gone to get the book, then where is the book? " Lisa asked me curiously

"I didn't get the book "

"Huh ! But why ?

" Cause that dumbass ! Alex stole my book from me "

" What ? Alex ? Did you meet Alex in the library? "

"Yeah , he thought I was Peter's girlfriend and told me that he would never lose to Peter or his girlfriend and picked up the book and left. "

"Yes, he is like that "

"how do you know that ? "

"Cause he was my ex ! "

"What ? That scoundrel ! alex was your ex ! "

"Yeah, but we only dated for 2 months "

"But why is it so?"

"Because he's so boring, he's always reading his books, doesn't talk much, and always behaves coldly , and romance? Forget about romance. So I thought I should break up with him, anyway he was not very attached to me. "

"But you told me that he has a girlfriend,

How does she manage to live with him despite of this behaviour of him ? "

" Are you talking about lara ? "

"Yeah , that beauty queen of the campus you were talking about."

"Lara is with Alex only because Alex is famous not only in the whole college but also outside the college and Lara always wants the best for herself. And she knows that Alex is the best so she is with him, and also one reason is that Alex's dad and Lara's dad are business partners and so they agreed to date each other because of their parents."

"Ohh , okay But what about Alex? Does he like Lara ? "

"Yes, it may be a compromise for Lara, but Alex really likes Lara a lot and the whole campus knows it.

"And what's the beef between peter and alex? Why do they always fight with each other? "

"Because Peter is Alex's step brother ! "

"What ? Peter ? Alex's step brother? "

" Yeah , Actually 4 years ago Alex and Peter were best friends."

"Huh ! But then why did they start hating each other so much? "

"Because 3 years ago, one day when Alex's mom went to his dad's room, she caught Peter's mom , hooking up with his dad ,

So she divorced Alex's dad and moved to London, leaving Alex and his dad behind forever , Alex was deeply shocked after that incident , he was only 15 years old, and he went into depression because of this , Some time later, Alex's dad married Peter's mom, which made Alex even more angry, and he went to Peter and started saying bad things about his mom in anger. After which Peter also lost his temper and punched Alex and they fought and that very day Alex broke off his friendship with Peter and both of them started hating each other. "

I was very shocked to learn all this. Apparently, neither of them was at fault, but I felt very bad knowing that Peter had lost his friend because of this incident. I felt like hugging him, but I couldn't do that right now.

" Lisa , I am ready to tell Peter what is in my heart! "

I spoke to Lisa as if I were threatening war.

"That's my girl " Lisa also said proudly

And now I've decided that next week, at the fresher's party, I'm going to propose to Peter .....
