Lucy went upstairs with a smile that she hasn't had in days. It felt good to feel happy again. For once in her life, she felt good about things going in an unexpected way. She grabbed her প্রবন্ধ papers from her backpack and placed them on her bed. Then turned on her laptop to check twitter and all the news. The same old boring number of followers and not much news, she retweeted a few things from her favourite followers but then logged out. She didn't tweet much and that's why she didn't have followers. She logged into tumblr and reblogged some pics then logged into ফেসবুক to see notifications and friend requests and messages. She ignored them all and searched for her best বন্ধু to see if they're online on the chat but they weren't so she decided to text them.
"hey girlies :D. i'm প্রথমপাতা now! text me asap, k? xx" She typed and then received a reply from Kathy immediately.
"heeeeeeeey, girl! x did ya tell your parents about...our thingyyyy? x".
"yeep, I did..went really good. dad even encouraged me and that's sth i totally wasn't expecting...yaaaay! we ain't got a thing to worry about! xx" Lucy replied happily.
"awesooooooome! :D xx" Kathy replied.
"Hey girls! Lucy, I've been worried about you! Did আপনি ask your parents? :)" Rebeka replied.
"yes, rebeka. don't worry i told them and they even encouraged me! can u believe that?!! :D xx" Lucy replied.
"I'm so happy for you, Lucy! Guess we got nothing to worry about anymore. :D" Rebeka replied.
"i was just telling that to kathy! xD <3" Replied Lucy.
"girls, i'll leave ya now cos i'm working on the প্রবন্ধ and i wanna sleep early so nighty night! text ya girls tmr! প্রণয় yas xx" She typed quickly before turning back to her প্রবন্ধ paper.
She fell asleep on her paper as usual and woke up to find someone she totally wasn't expecting.
She woke up with the taste of lips over hers. She thought it was a dream but then woke up and yelled when she saw that someone was স্নেহ চুম্বন her for real. and turned back to find....Eric.
"Good morning sunshine! Do আপনি like the surprise?!" He ব্যক্ত with a huge smile.
She was still shocked and just stared at him then shouted.
"Well, আপনি know I প্রণয় the surprise but আপনি didn't have to freak the hell outta me." She ব্যক্ত rudely.
"Hey, I thought you'd be happy to see me! No need to be all bitchy." He ব্যক্ত sounding offended then walking toward the door.
Damn, I was rude alright. She thought. Then quickly jumped off the বিছানা and stood in front of him before he opened the door.
"Eric, wait. Don't go...I'm sorry I was very rude. আপনি know me I'm too grumpy in the morning but still its not an excuse..I'm sorry." She ব্যক্ত then leaned in to চুম্বন him and weirdly, she didn't want to. So she kissed him on the cheek instead.
"Its ok, babe. But I've got just the thing that'll cheer আপনি up. We're going out!" He ব্যক্ত cheerfully.
"Huh? Going out? Now?!" She asked.
"Yeah! I've already asked your mom. She didn't mind." He said.
"Yeah like I ask for mom's permission about anything." She ব্যক্ত sarcastically.
"Well, get dressed. We're going out now. Hurry up!" He ব্যক্ত laughing and leaving the room.
She stood there for a মিনিট processing what had just happened. She woke up to see Eric weirdly back from California and he's asking her to go out, in such an early hour. And she was feeling weird. She felt like she didn't really miss him. She just couldn't understand how she was feeling but decided to go out with him anyways.
She put on her favourite pair of skinny jeans and a a T-shirt that says "Now অথবা Never" with a black hoodie over it, leaving its zipper open. She didn't really want to do her hair. She was too lazy so she just comped it and put in in a টাট্টু tail and put on her sneakers then went downstairs.
"Good morning mom! Thanks for the lovely plot আপনি made with Eric." She told her mom while stepping into the kitchen.
"Oh honey, it wasn't a plot, আপনি could say..A surprise! আপনি should thank me..I surely made your morning all better." She ব্যক্ত smiling.
No, not really. Cos I'm not sure if I missed him. She thought and then her confused thoughts came rushing back. She ignored them and looked at Eric.
"So are we going অথবা not?" She asked.
"Oh, ok." He ব্যক্ত after whispering something in her mom's ear that made he collapse in laughter. Her mom loved Eric. She didn't like the idea of Lucy having a boyfriend but she loved Eric so she was fine with it. They ব্যক্ত goodbye to her mom and then started walking.
"So..Where are we going?" Lucy asked after a long silence.
"We're going to the park."
"The park? That's your brilliant date?" She asked making fun of him a little.
"Well, I didn't tell আপনি the তারিখ would be brilliant. I just thought a দিন at the park would be perfect for us to..you know, bond. Since we haven't seen each other for months." He paused a little.
"And you're my girlfriend and I've missed you." He ব্যক্ত whispering in her ear, making her smile.
His words made her happy but she didn't wanna lie and say that she's missed him while she wasn't really sure about it. During Eric's absence, she noticed a huge change in her feelings towards him but she didn't quite figure it out.
"Sweet of আপনি but how could you've missed me while partying all দিন and all night with your college buddies?" She asked.
"Oh please! I did party alright but that doesn't mean I didn't miss you!" He ব্যক্ত taking her hand.
She looked at him and ব্যক্ত nothing.
"So, tell me about your new school? How's everything with আপনি and my weirdo sister and your other friend..Rebeka I guess?" He asked after some silence.
"First, don't আপনি dare call Kathy a weirdo. আপনি just don't understand what its like to be 'special'. And school's awesome! Its about to change a lot of things for all three of us."
"Oh I understand being special. Just look at me! Did আপনি ever see anyone THIS hot before?! And that's great, babe! আপনি guys entered some contest right?" He ব্যক্ত cheekily.
"You cheeky boy! And how do আপনি know?"
"Well, আপনি told me the last time we talked! আপনি didn't expect me to forget, did you?"
"To be honest, I did. Anyway, yeah we did and we're about to..You know participate in the contest in a few days. Its all about লেখা and our প্রবন্ধ are due on Monday."
"Ugh writing?! That's so boring, Luce! I didn't think আপনি entered kinda contests. The prize must be really worth it."
"Oh yeah it is. Trust me! Its a dream come true." She ব্যক্ত excitedly.
"Well then I wish আপনি luck in everything." He ব্যক্ত smiling.
"So enough about me..How's your college life? I hope you're not hanging out with bad boys." She asked.
They were reaching the park while she was asking him that question. And when they entered through the gates he smiled and then replied.
"College is amazing! Some lectures are pretty boring to be honest but its so fun! And no..Don't worry I'm sticking with the good guys." He ব্যক্ত laughing.
"Good! Then I have nothing to be worried about! Your best friend there?"
"His name's Justin. He's kinda goofy and nerdy and he's not really the type আপনি usually see me with. Like he never breaks rules and doesn't like..Fun. But he's a really good guy and I really care about him so.."
"Hanging out with nerds? That's something I haven't expected."
"Neither did I." He ব্যক্ত laughing.
They walked all around the park and chatted about all sorts of things and when they ran out of topics, they just started asking each other about যেভাবে খুশী stuff.
"So..Still obsessing over that boy-band?" He asked looking annoyed.
"Hey..Don't choose that topic to talk about. আপনি already know my answer." She ব্যক্ত in a sassy way.
"Yeah....I do." He ব্যক্ত rolling his eyes.
"So..I was thinking that if we spent the whole দিন at the park, it would be boring cos we pretty much talked about everything. So, how about we see a movie?" He suggested.
"A movie sounds great!"
"Good. So where's the nearest movie theater? I don't exactly remember the directions so.."
"Oh...Well, there aren't any nearby movie theaters. We'll have to take a cab." She ব্যক্ত a little annoying at the fact that he forgot the neighbourhood. "But just so আপনি know, I don't have any money."
"Its ok. I've already got money." He replied.
They walked out of the park and decided to walk to the end of the রাস্তা to catch a taxi. Eric stopped one and he and Lucy sat on the back আসন and showed the driver the way.
"So, what movie do আপনি wanna watch?" He asked.
"I don't know. Anything. But I doubt we'd find any good movies, I mean probably all the good ones are sold out."
"We'll see when we get there. But I wanna watch a horror movie." He ব্যক্ত with an amusing look on his face.
"Oh no, Eric! We are NOT watching a horror movie! আপনি just want us to watch it cos আপনি know I'd be holding on to আপনি during all of the scary scenes and আপনি know I get nightmares." She ব্যক্ত sounding uneasy.
"That's why I প্রণয় them. And about the nightmares, don't worry, babe! If আপনি want me to..You know, stay with আপনি to keep the ghosts away, I wouldn't mind." He ব্যক্ত with an evil smile.
"Eric!! You're not funny! We're not watching a horror movie." She ব্যক্ত angrily.
"We are."
"We're not."
"We are."
"WE ARE NOT!" She yelled then noticed the driver is looking at her weirdly so she felt embarrassed then lowered her voice.
"Eric, we are NOT watching a freaking horror movie" She whispered angrily.
They argued about it all the way to the movie theater. They went out and there it was. The movie of the night. Woman In Black. She saw the trailer of the movie online and it was clearly HORROR. Eric saw the scared look on her face then took her hand and walked towards the ticket office.
"Excuse me, we'd like to buy two tickets for Woman In Black." He ব্যক্ত looking at Lucy.
"What?!" Lucy stared at him.
"Here আপনি go, sir. You're lucky, they're almost sold out." ব্যক্ত the ticket officer.
Damn. She cursed in her head. What a great date, Eric! God...
"Thanks." He ব্যক্ত then they walked inside the movie theater to buy popcorn.
"What do আপনি want?" He asked Lucy.
"I wanna get outta here." She ব্যক্ত angrily.
"Come on! It'll be fun! Don't be such a killjoy, Lucy! Its not like the ghost would come outta the screen and kill you!" He ব্যক্ত trying to make her feel better though he wasn't doing a very good job.
"You're gonna make me regret agreeing to come to this movie with you!"
"You don't mean that. Now what do আপনি wanna buy?"
"Just buy me some ভুট্টার খই and a soda and maybe a bar of chocolate." She ব্যক্ত still annoyed.
She knew why Eric chose a horror movie. He was doing it for 'fun'. They walked inside and took their seats and sat down while the movie started. She sat down feeling scared and uneasy and she was mostly annoyed with the amused look on his face.
She started to eat the ভুট্টার খই and trying hard not to imagine the scary parts of the movie even though it just started. Then she received a text from Kathy.
"where r u??! been waiting forever to get a text from you, luce!"
She replied to her cos she knew what Kathy was like when she was worried and it wasn't good.
"i'm ok, kathy! you're worrying too much! i'm at the চলচ্চিত্র with eric.. and trust me, i'm NOT having fun :\ x" She replied.
Then watched the movie while Kathy replied.
The scene was too scary that she wanted to go প্রথমপাতা and undo the entire day! She felt so bad cos Eric's plan went too well and here she was. Holding on to him for her dear life. She could see him grinning so she moved away immediately. Then she saw a reply from Kathy.
"oooooh..so that's where he is. and i wondered why he left in such a rush. what're আপনি guys watching? a horror movie? x"
"yes! how did আপনি know? its woman in black and i'm about to pee in my pants! this is too scary..GET ME OUTTA HERE! your brother is the meanest BF ever! >:( x" She replied then started eating the ভুট্টার খই while avoiding the screen. As much as she could.
"i knew cos আপনি ব্যক্ত আপনি weren't havin' a good time. i just guessed... haha আপনি deserve it..you're the one who agreed to be his GF. blame no one but u ;D x did আপনি work on the সেকেন্ড topic? i'm already done with it.."
"gee, you're really makin' this better xD and yes i already finished it and worked on the some of the third topic. the প্রবন্ধ is due tomorrow..gosh i'm scared as hell...:\ xx" She typed then screamed for what looked like forever and then received a reply from Kathy.
"awesome! and yeah i know. rebeka and i are as scared as আপনি are..lets hope it'll turn out well. well now i'll leave ya to ur movie. say hi to eric for me and মুষ্ট্যাঘাত him for me, will you? have fuuuuun :D x"
"you're so mean আপনি know that?! i'm scared as hell and you're making it feel better but about the punching...i'll gladly do it..bye, babe! text ya when i get home." she replied.
"i'm mean and আপনি প্রণয় it xD great! make it hurt, girl! bye! alrighty, gonna wait for ur text. byeeeee xx" Kathy replied. And then Lucy turned off her phone and focused on the movie which was probably too bad to be real.
After an ঘন্টা and half of screaming and arguing, the movie was over. And Eric was happy of course cos his plan worked perfectly while Lucy on the other hand was even scared of her own shadow. They took a cab and he drove her প্রথমপাতা then they waited a little in front of Lucy's doorstep.
"You know, just admit আপনি had fun cuddling with me during the entire movie." Eric ব্যক্ত cheekily.
"Ha ha. It was SO fun! I didn't even cuddle with you! আপনি know me while watching scary movies, I like to have someone to...Hold on to."
"Yeah right."
After a long silence he finally talked again.
"Well, I gotta go now. Mom and dad are probably wondering where I went and I gotta pack since I'm leaving tomorrow." He ব্যক্ত with a little frown on his face.
"What?! You're only staying for one day?" She asked sadly.
"Yeah! That's why I came early to you. So that we can spend the whole দিন together. And it was a whole lot of fun." He ব্যক্ত with a playful smile on his face.
"Well, I'll miss you. I wish আপনি could stay longer. And that's nice of আপনি to do. I gotta admit, I did have...A little fun." She ব্যক্ত blushing lightly.
"Good..."
He was leaning in to চুম্বন her when she moved back.
"What?! No goodbye kiss?! I'm leaving early tomorrow, Luce! I won't even see you. The LEAST আপনি could do is give me a kiss."
"Ok"
She ব্যক্ত then kissed him too quickly on the lips that she didn't even feel it.
"Bye Eric!"
He was ফ্রোজেন a little. Maybe surprised at how cold Lucy was. But he gave her a hug and then walked on his way to his house. Lucy took a deep breath then walked inside.
It was a normal, boring ডিনার with her parents. After she was done, she took a ঝরনা and then put on her PJs and then texted Kathy that she was প্রথমপাতা then decided to continue working on her article, since she only had a few আরো lines and it was finally done. She was kinda anxious about tomorrow since it was the দিন when the প্রবন্ধ is due. She wrote everything she felt and she hoped her honest words would make her win.
She woke up and it was the awaited দিন at school. The দিন they'd turn in their articles. She was very nervous and she was starting to doubt her লেখা skills. After having a quick shower, she got dressed in the same outfit she wore yesterday with Eric. Then she remembered, the park, the movie and their awkward moment outside her doorstep. That তারিখ honestly made her আরো confused than ever. But maybe his absence would make her think আরো straight.
The ride to school was all about her তারিখ with Eric and of course Kathy couldn't stop annoying her and mocking her for being a scaredy cat.
Then the went through their periods normally till it was lunch time. In the cafeteria, Mr. Lockhorn was there with a folder in his hand, They guessed he would be the one taking their articles. They were all too worried to have their lunch normally so they just went their and handed their প্রবন্ধ to him.
Lucy hesitated a little. All the bad results of this contest came rushing through her head but she had no time for 'what if's' she had to do this. She had to.
They gave their প্রবন্ধ to Mr. Lockhorn and finally all their stress was over. Now all they've got to wait for was the পরবর্তি announcement the principle would make and she was nervous about it but now, all she could think about was to win. To win and to prove everyone who questioned her wrong. Her dad and Aria and everyone. She knew this was everything she's ever wanted. and backing out totally wasn't part of her plans.

Here's chapter 8, guys! What do আপনি think so far? Do আপনি still hate Eric? And do আপনি think him and Lucy will last? Just tell me all of your ideas and trust me from the পরবর্তি chapter, they boys will be in every single chapter. Sorry if its getting boring but I wanna take it slow. প্রণয় আপনি all :) x
"hey girlies :D. i'm প্রথমপাতা now! text me asap, k? xx" She typed and then received a reply from Kathy immediately.

"girls, i'll leave ya now cos i'm working on the প্রবন্ধ and i wanna sleep early so nighty night! text ya girls tmr! প্রণয় yas xx" She typed quickly before turning back to her প্রবন্ধ paper.
She fell asleep on her paper as usual and woke up to find someone she totally wasn't expecting.
She woke up with the taste of lips over hers. She thought it was a dream but then woke up and yelled when she saw that someone was স্নেহ চুম্বন her for real. and turned back to find....Eric.
"Good morning sunshine! Do আপনি like the surprise?!" He ব্যক্ত with a huge smile.

No, not really. Cos I'm not sure if I missed him. She thought and then her confused thoughts came rushing back. She ignored them and looked at Eric.

"Ha ha. It was SO fun! I didn't even cuddle with you! আপনি know me while watching scary movies, I like to have someone to...Hold on to."
"Yeah right."
After a long silence he finally talked again.
"Well, I gotta go now. Mom and dad are probably wondering where I went and I gotta pack since I'm leaving tomorrow." He ব্যক্ত with a little frown on his face.
"What?! You're only staying for one day?" She asked sadly.
"Yeah! That's why I came early to you. So that we can spend the whole দিন together. And it was a whole lot of fun." He ব্যক্ত with a playful smile on his face.
"Well, I'll miss you. I wish আপনি could stay longer. And that's nice of আপনি to do. I gotta admit, I did have...A little fun." She ব্যক্ত blushing lightly.
"Good..."
He was leaning in to চুম্বন her when she moved back.
"What?! No goodbye kiss?! I'm leaving early tomorrow, Luce! I won't even see you. The LEAST আপনি could do is give me a kiss."
"Ok"
She ব্যক্ত then kissed him too quickly on the lips that she didn't even feel it.
"Bye Eric!"
He was ফ্রোজেন a little. Maybe surprised at how cold Lucy was. But he gave her a hug and then walked on his way to his house. Lucy took a deep breath then walked inside.
It was a normal, boring ডিনার with her parents. After she was done, she took a ঝরনা and then put on her PJs and then texted Kathy that she was প্রথমপাতা then decided to continue working on her article, since she only had a few আরো lines and it was finally done. She was kinda anxious about tomorrow since it was the দিন when the প্রবন্ধ is due. She wrote everything she felt and she hoped her honest words would make her win.
She woke up and it was the awaited দিন at school. The দিন they'd turn in their articles. She was very nervous and she was starting to doubt her লেখা skills. After having a quick shower, she got dressed in the same outfit she wore yesterday with Eric. Then she remembered, the park, the movie and their awkward moment outside her doorstep. That তারিখ honestly made her আরো confused than ever. But maybe his absence would make her think আরো straight.
The ride to school was all about her তারিখ with Eric and of course Kathy couldn't stop annoying her and mocking her for being a scaredy cat.
Then the went through their periods normally till it was lunch time. In the cafeteria, Mr. Lockhorn was there with a folder in his hand, They guessed he would be the one taking their articles. They were all too worried to have their lunch normally so they just went their and handed their প্রবন্ধ to him.
Lucy hesitated a little. All the bad results of this contest came rushing through her head but she had no time for 'what if's' she had to do this. She had to.
They gave their প্রবন্ধ to Mr. Lockhorn and finally all their stress was over. Now all they've got to wait for was the পরবর্তি announcement the principle would make and she was nervous about it but now, all she could think about was to win. To win and to prove everyone who questioned her wrong. Her dad and Aria and everyone. She knew this was everything she's ever wanted. and backing out totally wasn't part of her plans.
