Aurora's POV

" I am super excited. You know that?" I said to Liam.

" Can feel that, Rora girl. Best of luck." He said and gave me a brief hug. " All the best, Rora. Go enjoy and have the best experience ever. Kick the world and be yourself. No one can snatch your happiness if you don't let them. I hope you live for yourself and your happiness. Best of luck." He said and my eyes widened. I bet my jaw was hitting the ground. Liam and these heavy words!!! Doesn't match.

" Close your mouth, Rora. You will catch fly otherwise." He said chuckling and I closed my mouth.

" Thank you. I guess." I said.

" You're welcome." He said. "Luke is coming. He will leave you." Liam said.

" Yeah, waiting for him. He is late today." I said looking at the staircase if he was coming. But there was no sign of Luke.

" He worked until 3. So, it's natural. He is up. May be getting ready. Now, not everyone are smart like Liam, right?" He asked me. I twisted my lips.

" He is smarter than you." I said taking Luke's side.

" Really?" He asked smirking at me. I nodded irritatingly.

" Rora is taking Lowkey's side now?" He asked me.

" Yeah. So?" I asked him.

" You are my friend, Rora. You should take my side. Why are you taking Lowkey's side?" He asked.

" Yeah, I am both if your friend. So, I can take his side." I said.

" Friend? Really?" He asked raising one of his eyebrows.

" Yes. Of course." I said looking at him irritatingly.

" Ask Lowkey what does he think about you." He said to me winking at me.

" What does he think about me?" I asked him.

" Ahh nah. No I won't tell you. It's Luke's place to tell you. Not mine." He said.

" You're stupid." I said hell annoyingly.

" Yeah, I know that. Just remember what I said to you. Don't think about anything else. Think about yourself." He said.

" Ok, Sir." I said saluting him dramatically. He ruffled my hair.

" Urrrghh... Not my hair, you idiot." I said fixing my hair.

" Good morning!!!" I heard Luke.

" Good morning, Bro." Liam said chuckling at me.

" Good morning." I said to Luke. "I hate you." I said to Liam.

" What did you do now?" Luke asked his twin.

" Nothing, Bro." Liam said innocently. I hissed glaring at him. Luke shook his head.

" You are not going to change, Liam. I hope someone put some senses in you." I said.

" Yeah, me too. Waiting for that person to come back." He said and left leaving me in a confusion.

" What's wrong with him?" I asked Luke as he reached me.

" Nothing important. Let's go have breakfast and go to your University." He said and I nodded.

" Yeah, let's go. I am starving." I said.

" Why? Haven't you have your dinner last night?" He asked me narrowing eyes at me. I bite my lower lip. I am dead.

" Umm..." I said.

" Well.." he said crossing arms over his chest.

" Umm.. I wasn't feeling good last night. Feeling feverish. I slept early." I said.

" No one called you for dinner?  Impossible." He said. Aunt Lucy did. But I pretend like I was sleeping.

" Leave it. I am starving now. Can we go and have breakfast?" I asked him.

" You better not skip your meal. I hope it's clearly understood." He said and I nodded pouting irritatingly.

" Hmm, better." He said.

We had our breakfast. Everyone gave me some advices which I listened carefully as I was a complete stranger here in Milan. So every advice is important to me. Everyone hugged me to wish me luck. I think it's a tradition here. Or I missed it all the time cause I had a family which I don't know if I can call it one. Then we came out of the house. I saw a car waiting for us. Luke opened the door for me. I got in and he closed the door. Then got a seat beside me.

" Aren't you driving today?" I asked him. He shook his head.

" No. I am hell dead tired. Still have piles of works to do. Hectic day." He said and I nodded.

" Don't run yourself like a machine. It needs some rest too."  I said and he nodded leaning back on the seat closing his eyes as the car started to move.

" Are you ok?" I asked him.

" Yeah. I guess I am." He said.

I nodded and shut myself not wanting to disturb him. Soon we reached the University. I got down from the car and Luke followed me.

" Come. Let's go." He said holding my hand.

" You don't have to come, Luke. I can manage." I said as he was hell tired but still looking as authoritative as always.

" But I want to come." He said and I sighed.

" Ok." I said. I found people looking at us curiously. I grabbed Luke's arm. He turned to me.

" What happened?" He asked me and I looked around.

" They are looking at us strangely." I said.

" Ignore them." Luke said.

" Easy for you but not for me." I said.

" It's easy. Just put on a face and don't bother to listen to anyone." He said and I nodded confusedly.

" They are irritating." I said.

" They can't do anything to you. I am with you." He said.

" Yes, I know. But you won't be here all the time." I said.

" Then you will get used to it." He said.

" How?" I asked.

" We will see." He said. " I will do something. No worries. Just concentrate on your studies." He said and I smiled.

" Ok. As you say." I said. " Some girls are glaring at me." I complained.

" You too glare at them." He said.

" What?!!!" I asked him weirdly.

" Yeah." He said.

" But why will I glare at them?" I asked him.

" Why are they glaring at you?" He asked me.

" Don't know." I said.

" If they can glare you without any reason then you can also do it." He said and I nodded. I turned and glared at them back. I didn't avert my gaze until they did. I chuckled turning at Luke.

" It worked." I said squealing. He chuckled.

" There is nothing to get scared. If there is any problem inform Professor Barry. He will take care of it." He said as soon as we reached near my class. " There's your class. I will be going now. All the best. If there's anything wrong. Call me." He said and I nodded. Suddenly he pulled me into a hug. I was shocked for a moment. I mean everyone gave me hug and wished me luck at home but not Luke. He didn't do it. Now that he was hugging me felt weird to me. I was wondering that I was liking the feeling that was creeping into my heart as he hugged me. I was liking how he was hugging me like I am the most delicate thing in this world. I knew he cares for me but I never realized how much of it he does. I wrapped my arms around him unknowingly. I was responding to that weird new feeling in my heart for him. It was totally new to me. What was that?
