Amy's POV
I sighed. Another boring day of college. Although I was studying in one of the most prestigious colleges in the US, Harvard University, it wasn't very exciting. In fact, it was quite monotonous, repeating the same schedule over and over again, with the occasional pop quiz or exam.
I was going to become a lawyer because arguing is something I love and being a lawyer can lead to more powerful positions such as a senator or a judge on the Supreme Court. But until that happens, I'm stuck here, slaving over a 1,000 page book about law.
It was five years after the clue hunt. All those painful memories still give my heart a nerve racking twist. I thought of Hamilton and his purple-clad family, Alistair and how he helped us during the hunt, Jonah Wizard and all his screaming fans, Irina and how she died for Dan and I, and lastly, but most certainly not least, the Kabras- Ian and Natalie.
I closed my eyes and pictured their child supermodel-like faces. I gave a light shudder. Don't linger on the past Amy, I thought to myself.
"Miss Cahill, would you like to answer the question?" My professor, Ms. Roswitz, asked me.
Blushing furiously, I sheepishly said, "Um, I wasn't paying attention to the question."
"Ah, very well then. Be sure to pay more attention, since we are going to have an exam reviewing all that we have done this year, Miss Cahill. Mr. Parker, would you like to answer the question?"
Finally, all the eyes were off me. Everyone was scribbling furiously in their notebooks, no doubt for the exam. I sighed once more, since I had a feeling that I was not going to do well on it. As I looked around the room, I noticed one pair of eyes still looking at me. Not just any eyes, but the eyes. I was staring into the eyes of Ian Kabra.
I was pretty much sprinting down the cobblestone path up to my dorm. I passed the tranquil Harvard Yard and the marble steps and columns of the library. Suddenly, a warm, mocha-colored hand wrapped around my wrist and I knew I was done for. Turning around, I looked into the face that I had been dreaming about all these years- Ian Kabra.
Ian's POV
I was panting after chasing Amy down from the classrooms to just in front of the library. My hand was gripping to her wrist as she turned to face me. I had never imagined the moment we met again would be like this. I hadn't thought that she would run from me. And quickly at that. Boy, she was much faster than she was five years ago. Then I finally became aware that we had an audience. I death-glared at all the surrounding people and they quickly averted their eyes, the silence turning into a nervous chatter.
"Hello love," were the first words out of my mouth. How cliché I thought to myself as I gazed into her shining emerald eyes. Suddenly, I was at loss for words. The only good thing about it was that it seemed she was too. Her mouth was slightly agape and there was a flurry of emotions in her eyes. Some were happiness, confusion, and the most puzzling one of all was fear.
Of course she would be afraid of you you idiot! After all that you've done to her, she should be crazy not to fear you right now, the voice in my head told me.
Shut up, I said back to it. Since Amy was obviously not going to speak unless spoken to, I decided I had to say something. But what could I possibly say to the girl whose heart I've broken so many times? As I contemplated this thought, I took my hand off her wrist and ran it through my now tousled, yet still stunning, jet-black hair. Of course, that was the wrong thing to do. Amy shut her mouth and sprinted off before I could grab her wrist again. So much for starting a conversation, I thought.
Author's Note: I tried to make it as long as possible, but I don't want my parents finding out about this! Read and review as always!
