Chapter 14: This Lucas!

Astrid's POV:

I didn't open my eyes while the guy sitting next to my bed was shouting like crazy. Then the doctors told him to calm down or else it might affect my health, so he calmed down. Suddenly I felt a hand on my forehead, stroking me lightly, easing my heart.

I opened my eyes when the doctors told that they will have to give me injection if I didn't open my eyes in ten minutes.

"Hey... Are you okay..?" He said. I looked towards him. He was Noah. I never expected him here... At least not after I insulted him.

"Yeah, I'm" I said looking at the ceiling.

"How did you fell unconscious?" he asked.

"That... Actually.. I didn't have the lunch and I was running"

"Why were you running?"

"Because... The teacher told me to"

"Why did the teacher told you so?"

"Because I.. I made a mistake"

"What mistake?"

"I.. Wait. How many questions will you ask?" I asked him.

"I'll ask until you stop beating around the bush" he said.

"Noah.. Actually.. I copied Lucas' assignment"

"You don't need to lie to me" he said.

"I'm not lying..."

"Astrid, wake up. I don't have the right to tell you but as a classmate.. You should think about this. Has he even apologized or thanked you? He didn't even come here to see if you're okay!"

What he said was indeed true. But... I really don't know what I should do.

"Hm Noah how are you here..?"

"Well after you fell unconscious, Ava asked for help" He said.

"Oh, but—" I was speaking but he interrupted.

"The other things you can ask her only. For now, rest and don't be stressed" he said.

"Okay.. Thank you Noah" I said and closed my eyes again.

He then left the infirmary. I heard him again instructing the doctor to take care of me and then he left.

Noah's POV:

With a heavy heart, I went away from the infirmary. I wanted to stay there with her for more time. But, I have to get it straight with that scoundrel right now.

I went to search him. I met Xander on the way. You must be wondering why Astrid never met him. That's because we are secret friends, and he is in other class.

Xander told me he saw Lucas talking to his friends on the way.

"Okay come with me!" I said to Xander. He agreed to me and then we went to him.

"Lucas!" I called him and then he took leave from his so-called friends.

"Yo, bro!" he said with a smirk.

"Lucas... Why are you doing this?" I asked him.

"You know what, it's really entertaining!" he said and I'm really losing my temper. But Xander stopped me.

"Looks like someone is getting heated up!" Lucas said and started laughing. I guess Xander knew that I will not be able to tolerate it more, so he spoke up.

"I'm telling you Lucas.. don't make Noah angry.." he spoke for me.

"Oh really Xander? You're really daring. Who are you even? Just the last friend of Noah. I bet you will join us soon too. And even if you don't, you cannot even dream of winning over us" he said.

By us, he meant the entire college. Yes, the entire college has become a puppet of his with crazy girls fangirling him.

"I don't care about it Lucas. Don't dare to hurt her more" I said.

"Oh Noah. You're so immature. When she's in love with me, you can never save her. She's not like the others" he said.

Yes. He has been doing this for a long time... And every time I tell the girls about it and they listen to it. But this time it is not the case.

"Please Lucas..." I said.

"Wow.. Well, that's really rare. I love seeing you this helpless, Noah. But, It's really a pity that that I don't listen to pities."

"Lucas!!!!!!!" I guess that Xander lost his control.

"Let it be Xan" I said and was going to leave when I thought of giving him a last warning.

"Lucas.. If you dare hurt her then fear your sister" And that was my last card. I left the place without waiting for his reply.

Lucas’ POV:

You'll regret it along with her, Noah. You brought my sister in this. I don't give a damn about this principal or even the police if needed. Because of you Noah, Your Astrid will regret. You better have a backup plan, or you'll lose everything this time!!

Noah’s POV

"Xan... What should we do?" I asked Xan as I saw his helpless face.

"We'll find out a way, Noah. First you have to gain her trust" he said.

"But how? She's so innocent or I should say so stupid that she still thinks that Lucas really loves her!"

"It's okay Noah.. I know we can make it. For now, go to her" he said and with that I went towards her.
