Miyu Raiko was amazed at the man giving the assembly. He was young and attractive and for some reason she felt like she knew him. She was a junior at the University majoring in business and economics.
At twenty-one she wanted all that life had to offer and becoming a business tycoon was her dream. Her friends Ritsu and Aya were chatting like high school girls through the whole assembly. Somewhere in the middle of the assembly she zoned them out completely.
Something inside her was pulling her to this man like a magnet. When he jumped down off the stage and started to walk up the aisle she wondered if he could feel it too.
He was talking like nothing was happening but anyone paying attention could see his eyes had glazed over and he definitely had that love sick glazed look in his eyes. He was looking for someone in the audience and he was looking in desperation.
When his eyes settled on her she could have sworn that behind those brown eyes she saw them flash a crimson red. Her heart was pounding so hard she really didn't even react. She just stared back at him in awe and some form of recognition.
That wasn't possibly though. She knew him from the papers but never had she even been near one of his buildings. He was a business mogul like America's Donald Trump.
Miyu's gaze was ripped from his as the bell rang and her friends started to pull at her as they left the auditorium. She didn't even have a chance to look back as the crowd of students swept her out the door to her next class.
"Miyu are you ok? You've been real spacey since the assembly. Did Lava get u going? He's so hot! He's also so rich." Aya practically shouted for all to hear.
The girl had brains but when it came to normal conversation she was just to out spoken. She was one of Miyu's best friends though. Aya and Ritsu were the first people she met at the school and they showed her the ropes. They were seniors and would be gone next year. They were both a pain in her ass but she would miss them greatly.
Ritsu was her roommate for which she was glad. Aya tended to gossip till all hours a night on the phone and if Miyu couldn't hang up she'd never get any sleep.
Sleep… something she wouldn't probably get for a long time now. Aya and Ritsu saw how Lava stared at her in the assembly. They saw the look of longing in his eyes. Lucky for her they stopped chatting just long enough to catch all the good stuff, right?
It was also odd but she thought that now that she saw him she was going to be seeing a lot more of him. It was weird but she had this feeling like he belonged with her. She was loosing her mind plain and simple.
Lava was way out of her league in both society and business. He could have any women or anything he wanted. A college girl like her was just a passing glimmer.
"Do you guys want to go out tonight and see a movie? We could get dinner too. Were all single except you Miyu. We could all have like a girls dinner date night." Ritsu said with a sarcastic tone. The girl needed a man or she was going drive them all insane.
"Sure I have nothing to do and I know Aya doesn't. Let's all meet at our dorm room at seven." Miyu said cheerily.
The girls all showed up at seven like they planned. They needed a night out on the town. School was always a stress and with Ritsu and Aya single. They liked going out cause it made them feel less alone.
Miyu had a boyfriend she rarely saw and honestly didn't care. She thought he was controlling anyway. She always had to tell him everything she did, when she did it, who she did it with. She tried to dump him twice already but he managed to worm his way back into her life.
Thinking of her crappy boyfriend brought to mind another face. She had no idea why but he was on her mind all day. Lava, the business tycoon who seemed to stare right into her soul and see everything she was.
Maybe she thought by him coming to her school that he could help her out with her career. Something passed between them and she'd be damned if she let it go.
One of his offices was on her way to work. She would just stop by and see if he would talk to her. If he did then she was right, if not then he wasn't really looking at her at all and maybe she is making too much of it.
There was nothing she could do about it now so she got her head back into what she was doing with her friends and tried to enjoy the rest of her night. They didn't get many outings like this so she might as well enjoy it now while she had the chance. After this year who knew what would happen to all of them, they may never talk again. They might even be one another's employers. You could never predict.
At the end of the night Miyu went to bed and was asleep instantly. She began dreaming of Lava but not how she saw him today. He was battling some creature and she was by his side. He looked amazing and so protective of her. As quick as it came the dream was gone.
She was back in her dorm room and the sun was up. Today was not going to be a good day.
