"Oh shit!! Oh shit..." she murmured as she rushed through the crowded corridors of her university. She was late of Prof. Tam's Economics class. That old man was one of the meanest people she'd encountered in the 21 years of her life. Those small wrinkled eyes of his were always looking for students making mistakes. On top of that, she had completely missed Ms. Young's Business Mathematics class. She had been on time the whole semester and now when the finals were just a month and half away, she was late. Hong Kong; the city that never sleeps. Yah right, she thought. She'd tasted the city last night and was paying the price this morning. She was sure to be busted. She couldn't afford to fail. Even though it was her first semester and she was a full scholarship student in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Business School, she had never failed; ever. After four and half months of racking her brains over the boring assignments, she couldn't even think about failing.
She was lost in these very thoughts as she literally ran around the last bend of corridors to her class when she bumped against a solid chest. Her books went clattering to the floor. Her angry chocolate-brown eyes met dazzling emerald-green ones. She murmured obscenities as she bent to pick them up and rushed past him, not even waiting for an apology.

Terence Williamson stared in awe at the receding back of the girl he'd bumped into. She was in so much hurry; she didn't even bother listening to his apology. Then he saw her enter Prof. Tam's class and smiled to himself. That old geyser was always getting into people's nerves. He was ruthlessly rude, especially to people like him; people who were non-Asians. Even though she rushed away, he had a good look at her face. She had a wheat-brown complexion and huge brown almond-shaped eyes. Her dark hair was tied up in a pony-tail and she looked visibly irritated. But it was her eyes that caught his attention. They were so beautiful, he thought as he made his way to his car.
Pari Shrestha received a glare from her teacher. She was 15 minutes late and was fully prepared for the humiliation but he did nothing as such. All he did was give her a warning and go on with the lecture. She was glad; she'd always submitted his homework in time so he favored her. Another reason was the fact that she was an Asian. He always gave Asian students a second chance and she was Nepalese. Hence, she was saved from his possible wrath.
The rest of the day was eventless. She had four classes that day and for the rest of the day, she was free. So, she called her best friend Elsie Fung up.
"Hey Elsie, what are you ding right now?"
"Nothing much. Staying home and getting bored. This flu sucks. I got to stay home all day while you get to have fun. I'm so done with staying at home. I want to get out of here." Came a complaint from the other end.
Pari smiled.
"Don't be sour Elsie. If you want to come out then why don't we meet up? We could have a snack and then do some shopping. I was so tensed today, thanks to our 'night out'. I can't believe I always fall for your tricks. You didn't even have that silly cold till yesterday."
"Hehehe... you always make that mistake, missy. Ok, I'll meet you at McDonalds in 15 minutes?"
She hung up, smiling. Elsie always made her smile. She'd first come to Hong Kong 5 years ago with her uncle. He was a textile engineer and lived in Hong Kong with his family. Elsie was one of his friend's daughters and back then they were neighbours too. So, she and Elsie became fast friends and kept up with their relation there after. When she finished her high-school, Pari's parents decided to send her to Hong Kong for further studies and another year with Elsie ended them up as best friends. Elsie was a total chatterbox. Although her eyes were exceptionally small, she was beautiful with her creamy white complexion and jet-black hair. They both stood at a height of 5"2 and their body structures were more or less similar but Pari was the curvy one. Elsie was slim, a perfect size zero and although Pari desperately wanted to be a size zero, she couldn't. No amount of dieting or exercising seemed to help her. She had 33 B cup breasts. Her body tapered at her 25" waist and flared at her 34" hips. After months of unsuccessful tries to get rid of that body, she gave up.
When she got to McDonalds, Elsie was already seated with a burger and a can of Pepsi in front of her. She made her way to the table and was surprised to see another empty tray next to the one with the burger.
"Am I hallucinating or are you over eating?" she teased.
"Shut up P. I got bored waiting for you and ordered. By the way I've eaten mine and this one is yours." She replied pushing the tray towards Pari. She smiled. Elsie knew her so well.
"So tell me, why were you tensed? Some arse bothered you again?"
"No I was late for my economics class and I thought Prof. Tam would fail me."
"So did he?" Elsie cut in.
"No. surprisingly he didn't. I was already late and on the way, I bumped into some guy. I had to stop to pick my books and that only added to my tensions. Jesus, I didn't even wait for an apology."
"Poor guy. He missed his chance with you." Elsie added with a wink and Pari rolled her eyes.
They chatted about stuffs as she finished her burger. It was already 5:30 so they made a quick trip to the super market to buy some clothes. After that, they headed towards their apartment. She still had 2 assignments due tomorrow. As the semester was drawing to an end, her schedule was getting more and more hectic. No matter how early she woke up or how late she stayed up, it didn't seem to make things easier and to add to her list of agonies was her part-time job at a restaurant near her apartment. Elsie had forced her to live in her apartment and Pari put out a condition. She would pay her bills herself. So she took the job. Her social life was a ruin. Elsie was the only friend she had inside and outside campus but she was a Bio student and it didn't help much. She was single and while Elsie was always shagging someone or rather, 'dating' someone; she was still a virgin. Not that she had any complaints. It was not like guys didn't approach her, but she didn't care She wouldn't be able to keep up with anyone because her only goal right now was to graduate. Her parents weren't here to support her and although she came from an upper-middle class family back in Nepal, it made no difference here. She had to take care of herself and faffing about definitely didn't help.

Terence opened his flat door and got in. He took his jacket off as he made his way into the kitchen. Putting a bowl of pasta into the microwave, he unbuttoned his shirt and undid the holster underneath. No, he wasn't a gangster or a mafia gang leader but after being the son of a top business tycoon in the U.K., one had to be careful. His dad wasn't from the mafia either but in business rivalry, the underworld got involved anyways. That was the main reason he left the U.K. to study in Hong Kong. This place was like a safe nook for him. Further more, he wanted to live a normal life so he denied the security his father had offered. The Williamsons and the Taylors had been business rivals since what seemed like centuries ago and they were always after each other's neck. He shook his head and his thoughts travelled to the girl he bumped into earlier. She was rather short, well he stood at 6"1 and any girl would look short to him. She was delicately beautiful, almost fragile. He was definitely not a skirt-chaser. Rather, he was chased around by skirts. He had jet black hair and green eyes. His body was leanly muscled which was always fancied by girls and it gave him that 'anime' type look. But he didn't want those girls like he didn't want this girl who was calling him right now. He rolled his eyes and tried to remember how many times he'd told her to go away but she seemed too thick skinned to notice. Anyways, he stared at his phone as it went into voice mail mode and Antoinette's nasal voice came through.
"Hey Terence! I don't know why you're ignoring me when I'm doing all I can to get back together with you. Call me when you get this. Love ya!!"
Jeez, this girl was impossible, he thought.

The week passed by as usual. Pari had 4 days of classes and two days at work. When Saturday finally came, she felt relaxed. She had forgotten all about the green-eyed dude and was busy finishing the chores with Elsie. But as soon as evening approached, Pari was tailing Elsie into one of the famous night clubs. She was dressed casually in a tank top and shorts while Elsie was dressed in one of her skimpy tops and skimpy skirts. She sighed at why she couldn't say no to this girl and the answer came right up. Because this girl was full on stubborn.
The music was blaring at its fullest as they got seated at the bar. She ordered vodka orange and Elsie ordered plain vodka. They sat there staring at the mass of people lost in their own world. Then she found Elsie eyeing a guy who was giving similar attention to her. She murmured a 'be right back' and sauntered towards him and they got lost somewhere in the crowds. Now, there she was sipping her drink alone when a cheerful voice came from behind her.
"Hey, seems your friend left you all by yourself."
She whirled around to face a lusciously handsome guy. She was sure they'd never met before but his eyes reminded her of something she couldn't place a finger on.
