Stranger I fell for.. (2)

Chase crashed on his bed as soon as he reached his apartment and groaned as he buried his face in the pillow. His TV screen roared to life at 8:30 AM his second back-up alarm just in case. Chase was in no mind to get off his bed when he heard his phone nag him again, he mumbled under his breath and flipped it on his voice muffled against the pillow he spoke "Yep?" almost nonchalantly. It was Noel who said "Dude, are you even going to make it to the classes today? I have a very short tempered Girlfriend you know?".
For the nice man Chase was he fought the urge to insult him and said "Be there in an hour's time Noel."

Chase was what seemed like Lost for some odd reason, he picked up his black hoodie and shredded pair of denims and headed for the shower, his favourite time of the day. He usually had the speakers blasting music while he took a bath "Rock and Roll Baby" he exclaimed as he took a shower and sung along the song "Rockstar" By Nickelback "Heyyy Eh I wanna be a rockstar" .. Chase always thought of music to be a wonder. It was what seemed to make him smile or allow him whatever he wanted to do by being a constant assurance. He draped a towel on his waist and walked out the shower quickly getting dressed and doing a silly double take in the mirror checking the bounce in his hair "Dimwit" he muttered laughing. He grabbed his bag and downed a glass of juice before heading off. "Almost forgot" He said to himself in amusement and ran to his bed to pick up his phone and checked for calls and shoved the phone down his denims.

On his way to the classes, Chase stopped at the "Bittersweet Bouquet" to pick up a dozen of fresh lilies for Lidia who was Noel's only girlfriend who tolerated his banter for some odd reason. Chase really thought of them to be very cute together. They fought and made out like crazy all the time. He tipped the fair blonde girl generously before he left the flower shop. Chase to his amazement got in his car and placed the lilies almost so gently and smiled. His thoughts ran back to earlier that morning, the girl he bumped in with, the way she cussed and how tiny she looked, the confidence she held and how he got tongue tied and wished he'd spoken something in return. Chase reached his classes and saw Noel waiting there with looks as if he were left alone with a Hound Dog, "Chase. Dude. Buddy. You're a life saver. I love you man. In the most Brotherly way yeah?" Noel blabbered and Chase shook his head and waived him away "Go celebrate already, or should I just tell her what happened?" he raised a brow mockingly. Noel patted Chase's shoulder and ran off with his lilies.

Chase looked up into the sky and pushed away his shades almost immediately. It was strange that the weather almost in no time turned from sunny and bright to a gloomy one. "Great! Rains again? Don't remember any good happening with rains" he shook his head and threw the bag on his shoulder and locked the door when suddenly it started to drizzle. Chase saw a few girls from the class staring at him as he ran into the premises, nothing new, he knew what girls in his class wanted with  him and he was just not interested. Chase was running and returning a Hi to one of the guys when he slipped on the wet marble and landed on this girl who fell down now pinned under him. "For the love of ...." She exclaimed while rubbing her  temples "Could you get off me?" She scowled. Chase couldn't believe he'd been so clumsy TWICE the same day and scattered to his feet and apologetically offered a hand to her "I am so so sorry Ma'am I .." there she was, the girl from this morning. Her face was not an easy one to forget. She took his hand and stood up and said "What is with this city? Everyone wants to throw you off to the ground and .. " she squinted at Chase "YOU" she said accusingly, "YOU are the guy from this morning. The same guy who .. What on Earth .. JESUS! Is this how you meet people in general or am I just that lucky to be falling down like a stack of cards.?" Chase couldn't help hide a pleased smile for some reason, he was glad he saw her, but felt guilty to have knocked her down. He pulled her up and spoke this time "Chase. I'm Chase! I didn't mean to do that honestly I got distracted both the times." She didn't buy it "Sorry. I think you should be Sorry that's what." she scowled and tucked her hair behind her ear gently not taking notice of Chase as other females would've and simply scrammed off without a moment's delay obviously pissed at him.

Chase couldn't help but frown this time and look at her stomping her feet and walking off to a different direction, how he wished he could convince her he was innocent. "Strike 2" was what he said and shook his head, he thought he wouldn't see her again. But he was surprised that he even thought that before until he met her now. He wished he'd met her differently, not just knocking her down every time he saw her and again to his wonder he was amazed he had even wanted to meet her .. Let alone differently. Chase's skin burned with a feeling he couldn't comprehend. He didn't want to attend his class, he felt a surge of guilt and curiosity in him since morning. Yet he wanted to know who SHE was. Chase strolled down to the Cafeteria and sat on the most distant seat possible throwing his bag on the table and his head buried in his hands. "Who are you?" he asked almost in surprise to himself as if the image in his head would answer his question. He plugged in his earphones and let it take over him as he obviously wasn't in the right mind and recalled him say earlier "Don't remember any good happening with rains" .. He smiled shaking his head and sunk into the Sofa shutting his eyes, pulling over his Hoodie over his face.
