Hey people! So here is the first chapter of this book. Beware this is going to be a Rollercoaster of emotions and thousands of twists and turns. So hang on.

Poke! Poke! Poke!

" Let me sleep. Leave me alone. " I whine as I turn to on my back cuddling further into my bed. I was pretty sure it was 6 am in the morning and the person who was trying to wake me up by annoying the hell out of me was none other than Alex Watson.

As I peek out of my blanket, squinting, and adjusting to the thousands of lights that were on in my room, I look at the person I was expecting to open my eyes to.

There he was. Alex Watson.

As annoying he was, the lazy way he was smiling at me made me weak in my knees. I keep looking at him dreamily as he pranced around my room to switch off all the lights he turned on, knowing I would get out my cozy place till the room wasn't as dark as it should be.

A flick on my forehead bring me out if my trail of thoughts. Glaring , I look at the smirking doofus who looking at me from the edge of my bed , knowing I would pounce on him any moment now.

And as predictable as it is. I do. But before I lay a finger in him, I also fall, face down. At 6 am.

Also , like cherry in top , I hear booming laughter in the background.

" stop laughing , Alex " I say in a tone of finality, knowing that he isn't going to stop.

"  Stop. Laughing . "

" fine. Then I ain't coming with you to that stupid Irish dinner with the best pancakes in the world that you like so much. " I say smirking knowing this trick would work like it always does.

There was nothing in this world that the both of us loved more than food and sleep. And right now both of us were deprived of it. And if I lasted longer  I knew he was going to flip.

" fine. You have half and hour before I carry your ass out of this room. And I don't care in what condition you are in then. " he says with a tone of finality. I take this threat if his seriously knowing that I wouldn't get a minute extra.

I quickly pick out the clothes that would be suitable for my first day of college and rush to the bathroom to get ready.

After 25 minutes, I am still struggling with my foundation and concealer and knowing how my temper was I was going to clean my entire face 30 seconds before Alex bursts into my room demanding me get my ass out.

And that's exactly what happens. As I am almost done making my face make up free and start to pull my favorite blue and white converse and check out my outfit consisting of a salmon pink tank top and blur ripped jeans, Alex bursts in not even bothering to knock.

" Manners , Alex , manners. Ever heard of them ? Knock before you enter. "

" Woman. I haven't eaten anything since morning and your time is clearly up. You deprived me of food and now I am pulling you out of your room. " he says while he pulls at my hand.

" But wait I still need to tie my laces or else I will trip for sure. Give me a second will you. "

He swiftly bends down and ties my laces up in a second before saying " No,  you won't trip and I won't wait."

I hear a babble of conversation rise up in my household as everyone comes to the coffee table for breakfast.

As Alex and I descend down stairs , bickering I hear giggling and laughter from my family. It has always been like this.

They got their daily dose of morning entertainment thanks to Alex and I.

My mom and Alex's mom some how knew how perfect we were for each other and it's safe to say they aren't wrong.

In moments like these I wish I didn't love him , then maybe I would stop expecting things from him. Maybe I  would enjoy these little things as much as this idiot does.

Maybe I wouldn't have been in search of love in his eyes all time and maybe I wouldn't try to find a deeper meaning in his littlest gestures.

But all of this always ended up at one thing. What if didn't love him ?

As I look at the smiling idiot who was carrying me down stairs on his back I wish he would see for just once how much I loved him.

Sighing , I got off his back as we reach at the end of the staircase.

I kiss my mom, dad and Ed goodbye before leaving the house with Alex in tow.

My mom yells to us a " have a good day, sweet heart " and we both say simultaneously " yes ma. "

I guess how many ever years pass by somethings never change. As we walk towards this new start we don't know what is coming for us but I know for one that we are ready for it. No matter what.

But, what I didn't know was, we would never be ready for a few things. Never.

I hope you liked the first chapter of my novel. This just the start so it can be boring. But a lot of drama and surprises await you.. So hang on!

Love,
Pranati
