High School: Way to Forever

"Okay, So I started coming here last year. Once I was crossing the road and saw her and her husband. They both are old, you can see that. I helped them in crossing the road and brought their bags here."

"You are quite a generous person." Alex said.

Hearing this, Anna chuckled.

"After that, she offered me a boul of noodles. I loved those noodles so much that I became their regular customer. I call them grandma grandpa because they are of my grandparent's age. You understand now?" Anna asked.

"Yes. It was unexpected encounter I See."

"Yes, it was. Sometimes one need these encounters to meet someone." Anna randomly said. But unknown to her own self, she also met Alex in an unexpected encounter.

Grandma brought the noodles.

"Here are your bouls." She placed them on the table.

"Thankyou grandma." Alex Said suddenly. Though he felt it was awkward but still he knew that it was someone Anna respect.

"Alex, try them first. If you don't like it, we will order something else." Anna said. She didn't want Alex to eat the noodles just for her wish.

Alex took a bite. "Hmm, you were right. They are really tasty."

Hearing this, Anna's smile became bigger. "See, I told you its good. Now, Lets finish it"

They both had a good time there and it was time for them to go back to library.

"Alex, can we continue tomorrow? I'm tired now." Anna said.

"Okay, We will have enough time. Shall I drop you home?" he asked.

"Yes." Both Anna and Alex went to his car. But in rear view, she saw the bodyguards following her.

'I can't take risk with mom's security.' Anna thought.

"Alex, Drop me here. I have some work so I will go home by walk."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea." saying this, Anna came out of the car. "Goodbye, will see you tomorrow." and she rushed towards her home.

In meanwhile she also called someone, "Don't worry my about security. I can protect myself well. Increase it more for mom."

The other line was silent, "You are also my....."

"No need. Do it for mom. Even if you can't, just tell me. I will ask Sean to arrange some for mom."

After a pause he said, "Alright."

Anna hanged up without even listening further.

When she entered the room, she saw her mother sitting on couch. "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Mother Marrie turned around, "Yes baby?"

Anna took deep breath, "Mom, I have a quiz and I have to go nearby city tomorrow. You will be alone here for 3 days." Anna said in serious tone.

"Then, I can also go Addie. He was inviting me to come over his house for wedding preparation."

"Yeah. You go over there."

After dinner, Anna also went into her room. She packed her bag along with her bucket list diary.

.....

Next morning, Anna bid good bye to mother and went to school.

"Anna, we are going to city by a bus. It will also have students from Ciax high school. You both have to be careful." Math Teacher said.

Hearing this Both Anna and Alex nodded.

They saw a bus and it was empty.

"By the way, We can also do something here, right." Alex cheerfully said.

But this made Anna blush. She didn't replied.

Anna was sitting on window seat. Alex came closer to her ear and said, "What about some eating?"

Anna was already blushing earlier but now she was as red as tomato. Her imagination was going wide. 'No Anna, he didn't meant that. It was a joke, don't worry.' she tried to calm herself but it was not working.

"D-don't play a-around, Alex." She said and pushed him a little so that his hot breath can that was lingering on her ears, can stop.

Alex wanted to tease her more but then he saw some boys of Ciax high school were coming towards them. He didn't want any of them to see Anna like this, this was exclusive to him only.

When they entered the bus, their eyes first laid at the beautiful Anna, who was sitting in the last seats.

Beside her was a beast like man.

"Hey Dude, I want that seat. Go and get yourself any other seat." one of the guy said. He was Peter, the big shot of Ciax High School.

At first Alex, ignored him. It was not good for their team image if they fought. But things were surely getting out of control when Peter touched Alex on the shoulder.

"You want your hands to break so that you are disabled?" Alex coldly said.

"Do You think you can do something like this?"

Alex took his hand and was going to break his bones, but Anna's hand was there on his arms. Her eyes were indicating something- Don't do something stupid. Its not good.
