Lucas

You never liked Lucas from the start of your university. And neither did he. It all began when you sat at the middle row in the lecture hall on your first day, which was apparently "his" seat. He kept on asking you to leave and you argued back. But in the end, you had to compromise. It felt like he rubbed the wrong side of himself on you...

Lucas was annoying. He was hot and majority of the university girls had a crush on him. And he loved the attention. He acts so cocky and it make you wanna rip his head off. And upon that he has the brain of Einstein...

You weren't bad either. You were literally the definition of beauty with brains. But the thing with you was, you were short and a very picky about everything. Lucas loved teasing you about it...

So, from that day on, you guys were sworn enemies. But the worst part was the professors always paired you up because you both were the top students in the class...

But lately, he has been noticing things about you. The way you draw circles when you're pressured, the way you always have a very picky order for your lunch, the way you despise onions more than anything and every picky habit which no one noticed before...

It was starting of the 2nd year. You work in a marketing course and you always get loaded with projects. Thankfully most of them were individual ones. But this Monday, your professor gave a project and you've been paired with none other than Lucas...

After all the lectures, you guys decided to meet at the study lounge. Its been 30 minutes since you had come there, but Lucas was no where to be seen. You called, but he didn't lift. You even texted, but he never replied. You were about to crash out and just leave in frustration but just then, the door opens. There he was, with his hands occupied with many things...

He comes closer and puts his things down. There were project materials, just like I asked and well, ice cream...?

"You're late."

You tell him.

Lucas huffs.

"I know. It's very hot today. So I thought to get you some ice cream..."

He hands it to you. You were stunned. Since when did he care about how you felt?

"And don't worry, it's your favorite mint chocolate ice cream. Eat up, because you get grumpier in heat."

He says taking a seat.

"I do not."

You say quite annoyed.

"You do, you said mint cools you down..."

He says organizing all the materials on the library table.

But the thing was, you don't even remember saying that to him. How did he remember...? You ponder as you look at the mint chocolate ice cream in your hand.

"Are you gonna look at it all day or are you planning to eat it any time...?"

He asks looking up at you as he opens his laptop. But it felt like something shifted. But you quickly brush it off. He is your sworn enemy, right...?
