After reaching home, I have sent a message to Ryan and Sophie in our WhatsApp group. Telling that Zack Frederickson is my classmate and even my groupmate for Interior Design class. I got a call from Ryan the very next second.

"Really? Zack? You sure it's Zack Frederickson?" Ryan asked astounded.

"Yeah out of everyone! It's Zack!" I still can't believe it.

"Don't let your bad boy fantasies from Wattpad get you. Stay away from him." Ryan said in an authoritative tone.

"Shut up! Zack and me! Ewwww! No way. Anyway, how are you? When are you leaving?"

"Next week. I'm taking an apartment to stay in. Can you believe it My apartment? So no more curfews!" Ryan screamed on the phone. I pulled the device away from my ear in reflex and again placed it back.

I don't want to burst his happiness by showing him Jason's place. So I acted as excited as he is. We spoke for 30minutes about everything. He asked me to show him my room. So after the call, I clicked pictures of my room and had sent him. I don't want to show him the rest of the house at least for now.

Stella came around 5, she asked me what I would prefer for dinner. I asked her to prepare spaghetti with meatballs, and honey roasted chicken for dinner.

Feeling bored, I have spent my time with Stella while she cooked and then did the cleaning chores. She is quiet and mostly listened to whatever I spoke smiling in between and replied when needed. Then slowly she opened up to me saying about her family.

Her husband died 10years ago and her daughter is studying 8th grade. The only family she has is her sister, who stays in Oura, Colorado, and visits her during Christmas with her daughter.

Stella is an amazing chef I told her I can't wait for Peter and Jason with the aroma hitting me. So she is kind enough to prepare baked mozzarella bites and honey mint lemonade for me.

By the time, Peter and Jason came it is around 9. I was starving despite the snacks Stella prepared for me.

Sometimes I think my stomach is a bottomless pit.

Jason was quiet throughout the dinner. I spoke with Peter the whole time. Peter told me he was leaving the next day for LA and he will be back in 3-4weeks.

"I want you to take good care of Amy. Don't give her a hard time!" Peter said in a stern voice to Jason which made me giggle. Jason glared at me.

"Do you want me to carry her in piggyback and spoon-feed her too? I think you are going to say that next." Jason taunted Peter.

"I would love that" I exclaimed clapping my hands-on glee feeling mischievous.

Peter ignored Jason and spoke to me.

"Amy you can use my car till you get yours. Select the car and Jason will get it. Logan will be your driver from now. He is working for the past 10years for me, he is trustworthy.''

"Thank you" I gave a hug to Peter.

The next day in class I sat beside Mandy. Zack came and sat on the seat next to mine. Kevin sat in the row before us with Reeva beside him. After the Interior design and CAD classes, we sat in the cafeteria to pass time except for Kevin who wanted to stay back at the library, and Zack who is flirting with a second-year blondie.

I sat with Mandy and Reeva debating about their favorite star wars characters. While Reeva said the best star wars character is Luke Skywalker,

Mandy bit her back saying Darth Vader is the best. Okay, one thing that makes Mandy pissed is praise some other star wars character than Darth Vader. She is obsessed with Anakin.
