I didn't know the reason of Rex's anger but it seemed he wasn't happy seeing me with this new guy.

I got to know that my partner's name was Josh.He was the captain of the football team and a very happy person.Later on I told Josh my name and got to know more about him.He smiled all day long and made me laugh by cracking his funny jokes.

I didn't see Rex after the partner selection process ended. Ivy became Rex's partner.She was so happy I could see it in her face but Rex....he was looking weird,nor angry or upset,rather emotionless, without any facial reaction he left the cla.s.s afterwards.

After the cla.s.s ended I went to put my books in the locker. Josh had practice so he couldn't see me off. I didn't have my after cla.s.s library duty that day so I decided to walk home because I knew the bus already left for that day because this special cla.s.s with seniors was after school period.

I got a text from Helena that she can't go home with me as she got engaged in club work.I texted her back that it was completely fine and I can go home by myself.

The sky looked dark,like it was gonna rain soon. I didn't bring umbrella with me because it was not rainy in the morning at all.

I decided to walk fast and reach home before it started raining.The road was almost empty except few people here and there.

I started walking fast suddenly my phone beeped again.I expected it to be Helena but it wasn't!

The text was from an unknown number

"How are you,Bella?"

I didn't recognize the phone number but it was the UK's country code.

I didn't reply as I had no idea who it was but I was surprised to see that this unknown person actually knows my name.Maybe it was someone I knew.

The sky looked darker now and after a few lighting striked, the rain started.I looked for a taxi but I saw none.

I stood under the shed of a deserted gas station.There was no one around and I was kind of happy about it because I was totally drenched and it would be very embarra.s.sing for me if someone saw me like this.

Suddenly my phone beeped again. I took out my phone and I was in no state to receive this kind of text-

You should have waited in the university. Now look at you.You are all wet.

I didn't want another anonymous person in my life again. Ben was enough.I quickly texted Ben.

"Is that you?"

Ben texted back the next minute.

"Yes I'm Ben. How may I help you?"

"Don't joke will you I'm really not in the mood!"

"Why what happened ? Are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm ..OK.."

I was feeling sad again,alone,s.h.i.+vering in the cold,in foreign country,away from home.I wonder if Ben read my mind.

"Baby you are doing an amazing job you know! You will be just fine.I'm sorry I scared you. I was the one texting you a moment before," His comforting words really comforted me but what surprised me was that he was in UK.

"That means you r here!!! Where are you?" I was crying out of excitement. My eyes were sore to see him and maybe finally I'll be able to see my Ben.
