CILIA'S POV
Does he have to always suddenly show up in front of me? Anyway, why is he here? What's he doing in my department?
Ah, he's also in Business Adminstration department like his friend.
But why is he standing before me right now and smiling without saying a word for over thirty seconds?
  'from now on, we'll be seeing each other constantly' the words rang in my memory.
Okay, but why?
I put my phone into my waistcoat pocket as I stared at him. Yes, I didn't forget to cover up properly today, lesson already learnt.
"Uhmm, excuse me." I said after another thirty seconds of him looking down at me with that heart breaking smile of his.
Some students were still squealing and awning. I think I saw some videoing secretly.
What's their problem anyway? Well I don't blame them, I'm almost drooling myself, if not that I'm still somewhat jealous due to the photos I saw earlier.
But Lia, what's wrong with you anyway? Leave since he doesn't have anything to say other than to look at you....
"You are in my way, do you mind excusing yourself." I heard gasps around. Wait did I just say that to Jay, America's most famous musician? Even after he helped me from the cold yesterday?
Who cares anyway? He's a Playboy, he doesn't love and you know that. Just look at that photo, he flirts with girls all around, you can stay if you're ready for your 6th heartbreak.
This isn't me, I'm not usually like this. I fall easily in love, that's why I need to get away from Jay before I get myself hurt. Just because of the little attention he showed to me yesterday, I was already getting jealous of seeing him with other girls.
I've always had this crush on Jay ever since I was 16, but it seems like it suddenly increased from the day Jay stepped foot on this campus. I see myself daydreaming of the possibility of being his only girl, to the extent I began learning Korean, just for him. I shouldn't let myself fall in love with him. I should stop it at all cost, to protect my fragile heart from shattering once again, that's why I must leave now.
He still wasn't saying a thing, just looking at me amusedly like he could hear my thoughts.
"I'll return your scarf tomorrow, never knew I'd run into you today." With that said, I walked away from him to another direction. After all, the hallway was incredibly spacious.
I was thinking about going to meet Tania at her department, when I suddenly saw myself being spun around back to Jay. He was holding my hand tightly as he drew me closer to himself.
I was stunned beyond imagination, in fact, stunned is a little word to describe how I felt. My eyes were widened in shock, lips completely agape.
Jay surprisingly leaned closer and whispered in my ear.
"Didn't I tell you we'll be seeing each other constantly? Welcome to day one,' He paused. 'Don't be scared Saline, I just wanted to talk. You are really amazing you know." He said.
Now I'm completely flustered and in shock, serious one.
He leaned back and smiled again, this dude really loves smiling. He looked back at the students.
"All of you that have been videoing, stop right now and delete every single of it you have in your phones,"
He knew?
I looked from him to the students.
"If any of this leaks on social media, I'm gonna have y'all dealt with. Is that clear?" He barked. Many of them nodded fearfully, some frantically trying to delete the videos, I could tell based on how they were shivering as they operated on their phones.
Hmm, Jay's okay with photos of him and other girls displayed on social media, but he isn't okay with ours...
He looked back at me and smiled again.
"Don't misunderstand me please, I'm trying to protect your highly placed reputation in this campus. If the video gets out you know what the students can do, their snide comments and all. I heard what they said about Aurora and I won't like that to happen to you too, at least not like this. I only wanted to talk." He said.
He was right. It wouldn't be pleasing to me to hear comments as the ones they were saying about Aurora, that would be very upsetting. I nodded slowly, he smiled and took me out of the crowdy hallway into a much more serene environment.
JAY'S POV
Saline isn't an easy girl like I earlier thought. I still can't believe she wanted walking out on me.
   Although she's jovial and friendly, I could sense her fear. Like she's scared of herself being a victim of heartbreak. Yeah, I researched on her dating life. She just broke up with one Eddie adding more to her list of ex's. According to my research, she's had series of heartbreaks before her recent one. I'm figuring that's why she's trying to get away from me, especially with the fact that I'm a playboy, and not just from me, many of my kind. But she need to relax, I won't hurt her besides I don't have any intention of dating her or anyone else.
Love sucks really bad most times, look at Daniel, and there's also that guy I saw with Diva the other day and there are many more including Saline here. I can't allow myself experience that, I just want to be close to her that's all.
"You said you wanted to talk, I'm listening," She said breaking my train of thoughts. "I'm sorry I didn't bring your scarf, I'll try to bring it tomorrow." She added.
"That isn't necessary, you can keep it. I mean, I have many others." I said, looking sideways at her. We were sitting just few meters away from the department building, under a tree.
"Thanks." She said.
"It may sound silly or even surprising to you but, I've been watching DSD's performance for over two years now, and even your weekend videos. I must say you girls are doing extremely great," I paused.
"You have?" She asked looking at me surprised. I nodded.
"And thankfully to you especially, I go..." My ringing phone interrupted me. I stood up to answer it. "Please just a minute," I said, she smiled and I walked away a bit, backing her.
"Susy didn't I tell you not to call me again? nahente jeonhwa hajimayo! (stop calling me)!" I said switching to Korean.
I met Suzy during one of my performance in South Korean a year back, she's the girlfriend of one of the band members I performed with. Ever since then, she's been bothering me and stylishly wanting a relationship with me. I've told her countless of times that I can't date her but she never listened.
"Oppa I just wanted to say hi..."
"nanuen dangsin-ui oppaga anibnida (I'm not your Oppa) dangsingwa yaegihago sipji anh-ayo( I don't want to talk to you)." I said sharply and ended the call.
I turned back to Saline, but she was gone. I looked around for her but couldn't find her.
"Shit!" I kicked the chair in annoyance.
Just great! Extremely.....
CILIA'S POV
"Susy didn't I..." I stood up quietly and walked back to the park at the department building.
Jay's too involved with a lot of girls and adding me to the list isn't what I want. Although I really wanted to hear what he was about saying of me when the call came in.
I know myself; I'm already at the thinnest line in between my crush and love for him. Any further attention he gives to me will end up pulling me over the line, and I may fall very badly in love with him.
I should stay away, but will he?
I reached the car park, walked over to my car and stepped in. I need to go see Tania, Elle sent me a message earlier that she was with Jade.
I started the car and drove off.
DANIEL'S POV
FLASHBACK
I ran very fast out of the football field to her department. What I just heard from the students shouldn't be true. It mustn't, not after all this years, she can't do that to me.
On reaching her department, she wasn't there, she should be at our favorite spot then. I ran speedily to the fountain falls, sweating and breathing profusely from the amount of meters I'd covered, but I didn't care. I really need to see her, she'll prove to them that she's still mine, that they were wrong.
I can't lose her!
I slowed down my pace a bit when I reached the fountain. Moving forward I sighted her, smiling and hugging another guy with her back to me. She was really cheating on me with the president's second son, Xavier, who just got transfered to Newark University.
She brought him to our spot?! Goldie how could you?! My eyes red with fury and jealousy, I yelled at her.
"Goldie! What are you doing?!" She turned around abruptly when she heard my voice.
She looked at me for a while before turning back to him, she kissed his lips and turned to look at me.
She fucking kissed another guy in my presence!!
I was completely clouded by rage to the extent that I rushed over to him, pushing her out of the way and punched him so hard he fell. To my utter dismay and anger, she ran down to him in panic. I swallowed hard.
"Are you alright Xavier? I'm sorry, are you hurt?" I drag her away forcefully.
"What do you think you are doing Goldie? Are you out of your mind?! You are choosing him over me?!" I yelled.
"I'm sorry Daniel, I know this might seem sudden to you, but I don't love you anymore,"
"What?! Yo...yo...you are kidding me right?! This is a joke, you love me Goldie remember..." I said becoming suddenly weak at her words.
"I am not Dan, I'm sorry. I thought I did but I was wrong, I only dated you for fame. But when Xavier came along, I fell in love with him." My eyes were becoming teary, she... she only dated me for fame? No that's not true.
"No...no, you can't do this Goldie. What happened to all those affection you showered on me all those years? You can't leave me! Please...What did I do to deserve this? Please tell me, I can change if I've erred, but please don't breakup with me, please Goldie don't leave me." I cried gripping her shoulders tightly. She just stared emotionlessly at me, no remorse, no concern.
After four years plus of dating, she wants to leave so suddenly. She didn't even have the decency enough to break up with me properly, but only after I caught her cheating. When did she become this heartless?
I slowly released her, she was really leaving me for him. What did I ever do so wrong that she had to do this to me?
I stared at her intently.
"I've got one last question Goldie, did you ever loved me? Please, answer me sincerely." My tears were streaming down already. She looked up at me in.. in...pity?
"Dee I'm...." There goes the nickname she gave me. She reached out to touch my face but I stopped her.
"Just answer me!" I said coldly.
"Dan I'm so..."
"Babe?" The idiot that took her away from me called. He was up already.
"Daniel I'm sorry. It's over, please forgive me." She turned and walked away.
"If you leave now Goldie, don't ever come back. No matter what your reason for this is, if you breakup with me now, don't ever come back to me!" I said after her, she stopped on her track but didn't turn back to me. I sighed, wiping tears away.
"Fine! You made your choice, thanks for teaching me a hard lesson." Xavier walked to her and took her away.
I sank on the floor and cried....
**********
That was the most painful experience of my life, my eyes are probably red right now. Each time I think about what she did, it breaks me afresh. Now that I think of it, it was good dad transfered me here, seeing them together back then at Newark almost everyday was making me lose my mind. I was very terrible for the first three months, I lost concentration in everything even the things I loved doing. But she never called, never texted neither did she check on me. My friends wanted to talk to her on my behalf but I stopped them, there was no use, she still won't return. I never expected her to do this.
I was 19years old when I and Goldie started dating and now I'm almost 24 in about three months I'll be. She's the first girl I've ever dated but she isn't my first love; there's someone else who I can't remember but I know Goldie wasn't the first girl I ever loved.
I stopped attending concerts, even Jay's own because it was a constant reminder of her, she's a singer just like Jay, her voice was melodious. She used to backup for him during any of his performance while I play the Bass guitar and Roe, the piano. I can't even remember the last time I touched a musical instrument let alone a guitar. We were a great team back then, but she chose to ruin it.
I looked around the quiet vicinity I was sitting, I've been sitting here for over fifteen minutes after my last class.
My stomach rumbled, I haven't had lunch yet. I think I'll have pasta and barbecue sauce for lunch at the private cafeteria.
Yeah, that sounds yummy...
Roe's probably still having classes and Jay, he went to find Saline. I was alone.
I stood up and walked towards my car.

I parked my car at the park beside the private cafeteria, I was about removing my seat belt, but I was interrupted by laughter. I looked ahead only to see Diva and a guy laughing as they walked out of the cafeteria.
I frowned upon seeing them.
"So cheesy," I scoffed.
Probably her boyfriend. A black handsome dude with coil shiny black hair and silver eyes.
Why is he wrapping his arm around her? My frown surprisingly deepened.
I feel so jealous right now. Why do I even care anyway?
I watched him open the passenger door of a gray Honda Accord car, while playfully bowing to her as she stepped in.
I gritted angrily, hitting my arm on the steering wheel. I don't even know why I feel so angry. I watched the car drove out of the vicinity.
I grimaced, appetite lost.
I reversed my car and drove out too, heading to the dorm.....
          
LUCIA'S POV
So this is her? The one who made Dan miserable and far from girls.
I stared at her photo in my hand, eyeing her with hate, the only girl Dan ever dated. Who would've thought this popular pop singer ever dated Dan? Both of them were very secretive in their relationship, that's why I never knew until now.
Ever since I was 18, I had always thought Dan was single but he was not, he was dating this gold freak. I scoffed.
All about her was gold; gold hair, gold eyes even her name too was Goldie. Most of her wears too were gold colours.
Presently she's dating the president's second son Xavier.
She's the reason why Dan is acting so cold towards me.
Hmm, even after she left him his heart still holds a place for her. I'm jealous, really jealous right now but then, it's a good thing she's out of the way now.
At least I should get close to him and help him heal first, that way he'll get to love me too.
I noticed Dan's cold to all females, it's better that way. Now I can relax and not worry over any girl snatching him away.
The aim is, get close to Dan, help him heal and make him fall in love with me. Good idea, now I know where the problem with him lies. I smirked satisfactorily.
"You may leave now, don't forget you'll return to work tomorrow, finish up whatever my dad asked you to do for him today so you won't have an excuse of not going to the idols room tomorrow." I said to Wayne dismissively, I crossed my legs as he bowed and left the pool garden.
I picked up my script and began to go through it, I have a shoot next week Friday and I've got to do it perfectly like I always do. Yeah, I'm an actress too.
Katie ran in that instant fuming angrily. Penny was still having lectures.
"What happened?" I asked her. She sank on the empty seat beside me.
"You haven't heard? Jay attended Aurora's birthday party and she's taken over social media with her endless posts of them, can you imagine?" She said with contempt.
"So? Is that all?" I asked unbelievably.
"What do you mean..."
"You know Jay is a Playboy. Because he attended Aurora's birthday party doesn't mean he likes her, everyone knows he's a player and he doesn't love or have you ever heard of Jay having a girlfriend?" I said interrupting her.
"No, but she's trying to snatch him, you forget she's always after hot celebrities like him." She grumbled.
"Relax Katie, Aurora isn't a threat to you having Jay to yourself. All you need to do is make him fall in love with you and he'll be all yours. But then Katie, do you really love Jay? What about Jody?"
"Oh common Lucia, we all just want the fame and you know that, I like Jay, maybe I'll love him later, but for now, I only need him to become famous. I'll break up with Jody soon." She snorted.
"Don't do that girl if you aren't sure of what you want. Besides you'll also be hurting him." I advised righteously. She scoffed.
"So says the girl who just broke up with Davin," She said and I laughed.
Who cares about the love anyway?
Truthfully, I've only ever loved Kristen but he cheated and I broke up with him. Since then, I don't do love but with Daniel it's different, I'm crushing badly on him, it will probably graduate to love later, but for now I just want him all to myself.
"Davin and I were never a thing, you know that," I laughed.
"Oh puhleassse, preach to me later. What's more annoying is that I heard Jay met with Cilia today. I overheard some students while returning from class but it's said, she walked out on him." She said.
"What?! How could that happen?" I asked clearly surprised.
"Probably because they both are in business administration department, still I don't like the news. Even though she walked out on him, it's still a bad sign." She said through gritted teeth.
"It truly is. Wait, I need to check on Daniel." I stood up quickly.
"Alright, I'll just go sleep inside and wait for Penny."
"Okay, you can ask the maids to prepare something for you guys, I'll go now." I said and ran out of the pool garden.
I hope he isn't with any girl, the bitch who dares will pay.
