Emerald's POV...

Amber and Chris were beside me as we walked through the corridors as lunch breaks. The day started off with a huge grin on my face as we proceeded with the classes. I never knew my plan would turn out so amazing. Absolutely no news of Zachary or werewolves for two days. I internally did a happy dance as my eyes focused on a medium height man with a small bulging belly meandering through the throng of students.

"Who is that," I asked making Amber and Chris peer in the direction of the man in question.

"You guys don't know him?" Chris looked shocked and we shook our heads hesitantly. Should we be knowing him? "Weird! He is Donovan Parker, founder and principal of Rutherford college," Chris explained looking at Mr Parker for a while.

The latter was smiling at the students and was walking casually with a slight edge of elegance to the administration block. "He looks like someone cool for a principal isn't it?" Amber supplied clutching her books closer to her chest.

"Yeah.... actually, he is the nicest person you would find on campus. He is really involved in many research works. In fact, this college is all about learning the finest aspects of science and making discoveries that would take science to the next level," Chris imparted his knowledge to us as I listened earnestly. Chris looked serious as I said, "It would be so much fun learning here."

Chris sent me a sideways glance, "I think," he seemed quite hesitant to voice out his thoughts but we were already giving him all our attention. He sighed and looked forward with a straight face as we approached the stairs. "Nobody can be this polite," Chris remained silent for a moment arranging his words, "I guess he is like an iceberg. What he shows is only the tip. He has a lot deep down which he keeps hidden. All the charity he does, doesn't suit him."

Chris sighed as Amber and I burst out laughing. "Chris, for God's sake, stop overanalyzing alright?" I managed to choke out with Chris rolling his eyes.

"Emmy!" Amber whispered urgently elbowing my sides and signalling me to look at the bottom of the stairs. I furrowed my eyebrows as I followed her line of sight and suddenly all the air has been knocked out of my lungs. I nearly felt dizzy that I had to grab onto Amber so as not to trip on the stairs.

We step down as he climbed the stairs. Infront of me was one of the major reasons why I had such a strong liking to human world. The guy I always dreamed of and whom I have never been able to approach or talk to. Well you guessed it! I have kind of a crush on him. I usually saw him in town when I came here with my sisters. It was nearly two months ago. Heat crept up to my cheeks at that thought. His dark straight hair bounded his pale face perfectly overflowing slightly on his forehead. His nose was well sculpted complementing his full pink lips. He was so handsome that I couldn't help but stare at him dreamily. Amber giggled bringing me out of my trance as we approached him.

I thought we would go unnoticed and the happiness inside me died a little. I didn't know he studied at Rutherford. Wait! Is that a coincidence or is it fate bringing us together?

"Callum! How are you buddy?" Chris shook his hand.

Callum...... what a nice name.

Callum smiled in our direction and my heart stopped beating right there. I swear. How can someone be so handsome effortlessly? "Chris. Nice to meet you again. And you two are?" He trailed as I stared at him. Should I smile? What if he doesn't like my smiling face? I think I should offer a handshake. Maybe I should just wait for his next move. Why is this thing so complicated!
