The Altundral Princess

(Stella's POV) 

“Stella!” 

“Coming.” I shouted from my room after hearing Anna called my name. I quickly combed my messy deep brown hair that fell to my waist and left it loose.  

Anna is my best friend and her house is located not many miles away from mine. She is 5'3, same height as mine. With her auburn hair, fair skin tone and with black spectacles she always looks cute. Her father died few years back in an accident and she lives with her mother. She had no siblings so I became the one for her. We went to same school, same high school and now we are going to same college. 

“Okay, I think I’m looking good.” I told myself looking at my reflection in the mirror. I was dressed in a casual Jeans and crop top. I wore my shoes and strolled to the living room.

“Let’s go.” I said.

While we were stepping out, I heard my mom shouting from behind.

“Stella wait! Have your breakfast and go.” 

“It’s getting late.” I said and quickly took a glass filled with fruit juice from her hand then drank it. 

“Bye mom.” I kissed her cheek and strolled out. 

I held Anna’s hand and dragged her out along with me. We started walking to our college. The college is not so far so we decided to walk just to save transport expenses. 

“It’s our first day in the college. I’m excited. So, so excited.” Anna said jumping like a kid. 

Princess land... don’t go for any fantasy stories. Princess land is the name of my hometown. Cute name, ha! It is a very comfortable town to live with adaptable environment, surrounded by woods and greenery. I love my hometown a lot. I was born here. I went to my pre-schooling, schooling, high school and now college. Though it is a town, it looks like a city but with not much traffic and less population. It has everything from a normal school to rich, reputed private colleges. Even the guys from cities join in the colleges that present in my hometown. 

After few minutes, we reached college. It’s one of the rich private colleges. Don’t mistake us as rich kids. We are from typical middle class families. We got seat based on our score in the entrance exam. We entered in and looked at the college in ‘awe’. We saw a lot of rich cars and rich guys with their girlfriends. 

“Roman is here. Damn! He looks hot.” She whispered into my ear showing me Roman. Her hazel eyes sparkled looking at him. 

Anna has crush on Roman since her school days. Roman's parents were known by most of the people in the town, even my parents had amiable relationship with them but I didn’t have a great relationship with Roman though we went to same school and high school. I might have talked to him once or twice. As Roman is a rich guy, he joined in the college so easily. To join in the college for him, Anna took the entrance exam. 

Roman never noticed Anna though she was going head over heels for him. Even Anna too never proposed or dared to talk to him.

“Started.” I banged my head with my palm. 

We then went to our classroom taking help from a lot of students. We sat on the chairs and looked around. Most of the guys were dressed in rich branded clothes and looked so hot. We knew most of the people there as most of them were from my high school. 

While Anna and I were talking, Victoria AKA Vickie, along with her two minion friends entered in. They were dressed in a bit tight, revealing dresses with a ton of makeup on their faces. They are really bad bitches. They use boys like they use their face powder. I never liked them. And Of course, they too never liked us. Vickie despises me as a boy on whom she had crush in her school days, proposed me. From then, she started treating me as an enemy. 

They started talking to boys and gazing at us in a weird way. I rolled my eyes looking at them. 

“I think they have no clothes to wear.” Anna whispered into my ear and we both started giggling. 

Soon our classes started and we listened to them. After three boring classes, we got our break. We went to college canteen and ordered our food. 

While we were talking, Anna’s mother entered in out of nowhere. We both shocked looking at her. 

“Hey mom! What are you doing here?” Anna asked, shocked. 

I smiled and greeted to her mom. She greeted me back. 

“I came to meet Clara.”

Mrs. Scarlett Bradley; Anna's mother is a professor in another college. She is a strict woman who follows all the morals. She always wants everything and everyone to be perfect. She even shows her strict ness on her daughter. Thank god! We didn’t get admission in the college where she works.

“Clara? Who?” Anna asked. 

“One of the professors here. I met her at professors union, one day. She called me for help regarding a subject. And yeah! She wishes to meet you.” 

“Mom! Please. I don’t want to meet anyone.” Anna pleaded but her mom didn’t listen. She asked me to go along with her but I rejected and it’s for my best. I don’t want to get noticed. 

They both left and I sat on the chair scrolling my mobile. The food was prepared and I went to the counter to collect it. I took the tray in my hands and started walking to my table. I saw a guy sat on my chair. His back was facing me. His dark brown hair was ruffled because of the wind blowing through the windows. I noticed many girls looking and talking about him. 

I went there and stood in front of him with my raised eyebrow. He was so busy with his mobile and he didn’t see me.

“Excuse me!” I said and kept looking at him. 

He raised his head to see me. He looked dazzling with his emerald eyes, kissable lips and chiseled jawline. Anyone could feel his perfect muscular body beneath his black t-shirt that was making him look hot. 

He gave a smirk looking at me and said “Tell me beautiful.” In his husky voice. 

“This is my table.” I said placing my tray on the table.
