Chapter 2
- đ Giannaâs P.o.vđ
- âHey,it seems some new people have moved in next doorâ Jamal said as he looked through the window.
- I joined him to look,i saw two people, I think they are husband and wife.
- They were with their luggages,while the maids were helping them with somethings.
- âI pray they have daughtersâ Jamal said and i smacked his head.
- âOuchâ
- âJammy,you are such man-whoreâ i said and he chuckled.
- âAm going to my room,i have homework and am sure you do too so stop staring and go do your homeworkâ i said and turned to leave when I heard him mutter âNerdâ under his breath.
- âI heard thatâ i said and went up to my room.
- I got to my reading table,i looked out my room window.
- I could see the next room,it looks like a guyâs room,there was a guitar.
- I love it when someone plays the guitar.
- I quickly ignored it and focused on my homework.
- âHeyâ i heard someone say, I looked up and it was a guy with brown hair and hazel eyes.
- The guy had a look of shock,i was confused on why he was looking so shocked.
- âYour eyes are amazingly beautifulâ he said, then i quickly remembered that i wasnât putting on my contact lenses.
- âOh,f*ckâ I said and quickly closed my window.
- Oh,am so stupid,i have never let anyone apart from my family to see my eyes.
- đ Alexanderâs P.o.vđ
- My parents finally arrived and as usual,they were on the phone talking to some business partners.
- âHey,my little princeâ My mom said and kissed my cheeks.
- My dad just walked away Leaving i and my mom in the living room.
- âI see my dad is so happy to see meâ i said sarcastically.
- âDonât mind him,he is just tired from the ride here,has my little prince eaten?â
- âYes,i have and stop calling me little princeâ
- âBut you are, arenât you just 17?â
- âMom,am 19 and you would have known that if you were actually around during my birthdaysâ i said and walked away before she could say anything.
- I entered my room and slammed the door,they only care about themselves.
- My own mother doesnât know my age,so pathetic.
- I wanted to pick up my guitar when i saw the girl next door.
- I think she was doing her homework because she seemed so focused.
- âHeyâ i said,she looked up at me and i swear i literally froze when i saw her face,she was so beautiful and her eyes are grey in colour.
- With her black hair,she looked like an angel.
- âYour eyes are amazingly beautifulâ i managed to say.
- Before i knew it,she looked surprised and she quickly closed the window.
- Why did she run away?
- I only wanted to talk.
- đ Giannaâs P.o.vđ
- âSo you are saying a guy saw your real eye color and your hair?â Jamal asked.
- I was in his room, I watched him put on his jacket.
- âYeah,i didnât notice that i wasnât with my face cap and my contact lensesâ
- âGigi,but it isnât bad,your eye and hair are natural and it supposed to be seenâ
- âNo, Jamal,you know it is what caused me so much pain,it was because i was too open to everyone,that horrible night that still haunts meâ
- Jamal came closer to me and hugged me.
- âSis,you know i donât like seeing you like this,i wish i could find that bastard that hurt you,but i swear to you that if i find him,i will kill himâ
- âYou are such a caring twin brotherâ i said and he chuckled.
- âSo what are you gonna do to the guy next door, itâs not like you can erase his memoryâ
- âI will just try to avoid him, itâs already bad that his room is so close to mineâ
- âSis,i gotta to goâ
- âWhere are you going?â
- âOn a date with Madisonâ
- âMadison? Seriously?â
- âYeah, whatâs wrong?â
- âYou like her?â
- âNo,i canât date someone who throws herself at any guy just to get what she wantsâ He said and i giggled.
- âJust be carefulâ
- âI will, love youâ he said,kissed my forehead and he walked away.

- I was walking through the hallway trying to find Ashley.
- I was carrying some books when someone bumped Into me making the books fall.
- âOh,am sorryâ
- âSeriously,are you that blind?â I asked harshly,we both bent down to pick it making us bump our heads.
- âOuchâ we said at the same time,we finally looked up at each other.
- Oh, no, itâs the guy next door, heâs attending this college?
- đ Alexanderâs P.o.vđ
- I looked up at the person i bumped and it was my neighbor but she had a different color of eyes.
- âWhy are you starring at me like that?â She asked as she packed her books.
- I tried to help her but she smacked my hand off.
- âAm just trying to help youâ
- âI donât need your help, itâs bad enough that you are blindâ She said and stood up.
- âAm not blind,am just looking for the music departmentâ
- âWell, thatâs your problemâ She tried to leave but i held her wrist.
- âDonât touch meâ She said and yanked her hand away, sheâs so aggressive.
- âCan you give me directions to the music department?â
- âAsk someone else,leave me the hell aloneâShe walked away.
- I watched her stop, then turn around,she walked back to me.
- âListen carefully,Hazel eyes,i know you are my next door neighbor and you saw something,i donât you telling anyoneâ
- âAnd if i do,what will you do?â
- âI will shave your hair off and make you eat them allâShe said with all seriousness.
- âAm Alexander by name but you Call me Xanderâ i said and she rolled her eyes.
- âThe music department is by the left next to the engineering departmentâ She said and turned to leave.
- âI didnât get your nameâ
- âItâs not importantâ
- What a weird person.
- đ Giannaâs P.o.vđ
- âAm telling you,Gigi, itâs just this guyâs first day here and he is already making news, heâs already part of the basketball team,they say he is really goodâ
- Ashley was ranting about that guy called Xander, sheâs not the only one, girls are practically drool over him, itâs so annoying.
- First it was my brother,now this guy,am sure Madison will be ontop of the world.
- âXanderâs singing in the hallwayâ someone said and everyone except me rushed out to see him.
- âCome on,Gigi,you will miss itâ Ashley said.
- âNo, i think am fine hereâ
- Ashley rolled her eyes amd dragged me to the hallway.
- đ¶And if you feel you are sinking,i will jump right over into cold,cold watee for you.
- đ¶ And although time may take us into different places,i will still be patient with you.
- đ¶I hope you know i wonât let go, Iâll be your lifeline tonight.
- đ¶I wonât let go.
- Everyone surrounded him as he played the guitar and sang,Maddison was in front of him smiling like an idiot.
- They all cheered for him as he finished.
- âThanks, everyoneâ he said,our eyes met but i quickly looked away.

- âHeâs a really good basketball playerâ Jamal said as we got home.
- âI really need my ear to rest from Xander this,Xander that, itâs so annoyingâ
- âYou gotta admit, the guy can singâ
- âYeah whateverâ
- âGigi,you told me you liked it when guys played the guitarâ
- âI was really little back them,Xander is annoyingâ
- I went up to my room,i freshen up so i decided to read a novel.
- I opened my room window and i could see Xander sitting by his window.
- âFinally,i was waiting for you to open your windowâ He said and smiled.
- âSo you mean to tell me that you donât have anything useful to do?â
- âWell,i was about to play my electric guitar but i thought of talking to you, Giannaâ
- Who told him my name?
- âSurprised how i know your name, your friend, Ashley is a really nice person,she even showed me aroundâ
- Oh, Ashley and her big mouth.
- âLook,dummy, donât think am like those dumb girls in school,if you touch me,i will kick you in the ballsâ i said and he chuckled.
- âI know you are not like other girls, thatâs what makes you interesting,i want to discover you, Gianna Floresâ
- âJust because we are neighbors, doesnât mean you and i are friendsâ
- âWe are not?â
- âNo,we are not,now if you excuse me, I would like to read a novelâ
- I brought out the novel and started reading.
- There was slience and i thought he had finally gone inside.
- âSo why do you wear contact lenses when your natural grey eyes is amazing?â He asked and i sighed in frustration.
- This guy is a pain in the neck.
- âGoodbyeâ i said and closed the window.
- Finally some piece of mind.
- I was just about enjoying the peace and quiet when i started hearing electric guitar noise,that idiot was playing too loud.
- I tried to ignore but it was too loud,i couldnât even hear myself think.
- I went to my window and opened it angrily.
- âOh,hey,you came backâ he said and smirked.
- âWhatâs your problem?â
- âI donât know,you tell meâ
- This guy is getting on my nerves.
- âAs much i really want to put a knife down your throat,i also donât want to go to jail,so am asking nicely, please play your guitar quietlyâ
- âOkay,am sorry,i will play quietlyâ
- âThank youâ i said and closed my window back.
- I havenât even sat down when he started playing again.
- I opened the window again and angrily threw my book at him,it hit his head and he fell down.
- âAre you dead? Please tell me you are deadâ i said.
- âNo,am not,am indestructible,now that i have novel, you are not getting it backâ
- âStop being childish, give me my bookâ
- âRemove your contact lenses firstâ
- What kind of person is this?
- I donât think i can survive if this guyâs room is close to mine.
