Chapter 2

The next day they both went to mechanic shop to collect the car. It was Chevrolet old model which was used by Nina's grandfather for many years. A year before he gave his car to Nina as a gift. The car usually works properly but it break down sometimes. 

They collected the car and reached their college. While they were strolling to their classroom, a dark blonde guy of height about 6 feet, interrupted their way by standing in front of them. 

“Hello Nina! Hi Kathleen!” He greeted them. 

“Hi Jack!” Nina greeted back whereas Kathleen just smiled looking at him. 

“Going to classroom?” He asked looking at Kathleen.

Kathleen kept her gaze on the floor. 

“I think everyone here is going to their classrooms.” Nina said. 

“Of course! But I’m heading to the football court. I thought you two also are going somewhere. Anyways, see you later. Bye Kathleen. Bye Nina.” He said without shifting his gaze from Kathleen. 

“Bye.” Nina said and caught Kathleen’s arm. 

Jack is their classmate who was lusted by most of the girls for his physique and richness. He too had many girlfriends and involved in many sexual activities. But he stopped everything when he started adoring Kathleen and has been maintaining the good guy image in their college. 

Nina and Kat continued strolling to classroom. Nina looked back and noticed Jack staring at Kathleen. As soon as Nina saw him, he shifted his gaze from Kathleen. 

“He has a deep crush on you Kitty-Kat.” Nina said while walking. 

“On whom he doesn’t have crush? He was involved with many girls. I hate that. I told him to not bother me with those things. But he never change.” 

They entered their classroom and sat on their seats. 

“Kat! I think it’s Jack who wrote the letter.” 

“Jack? I think it’s not him. There was a sentence ‘I heard your poetry’ in the letter. He was not at the competition yesterday.” 

“Maybe you didn’t see him.” 

Kathleen thought for a moment and said “But the letter said ‘I’m a complete stranger to you’.” 

“Kitty-Kat! Maybe it was a lie.” 

They both began thinking about the stranger. Within few minutes, their classes were started and they kept listening to them. Kathleen tried to concentrate on her classes but she failed in doing that. Her focus kept deviating to many things. She started thinking about the story she recently read, about the poetry, and especially about the stranger's letter. The letter made her realize her ambition. The letter made her know what she wanted in her life. A smile appeared on her face when she recalled the sentence ‘Your words hit like bullets’. 

Soon they got break and they strolled to canteen. 

“Kat! Let’s compare Jack's writing with the handwriting in the letter.” Nina said while waiting for their orders to arrive. 

“I thought the same but how?” 

“Ask Jack that you need his notes.” 

“Me? No way. I will never do that. And do you think he maintain a notes?” Kathleen rolled her eyes. 

While they were talking, Jack came to canteen along with his friends. 

“He is here. Let’s ask.” Nina said. 

“I said ‘no’. No means no.” 

Nina rolled her eyes and put her hand on her forehead. After a minute, Nina went to the counter to collect their order. As soon as she left, Jack strolled to Kathleen and sat in front of her. 

“Kathleen!” 

“Why Jack? I told you that I’m not interested in talking to you. Why don’t you understand?” Kathleen asked with a irritated face. 

“Kathleen please. I love you so much please accept. I will do anything for you.” 

“Please Jack. Don’t force me. I’m not interested in you.” 

“I’ll wait for you Kathleen.” 

“It’s a waste of time, Jack.”

They stopped talking when Nina walked to them. Nina kept the food tray on the table and sat beside Kathleen. 

“Are you irritating her?” Nina asked Jack angrily. 

Jack stood from his chair and strolled to his friends. Nina and Kathleen started eating. 

“I think it’s not Jack who wrote the letter.” Kathleen said. 

“How do you know?” Nina asked. 

“I can feel that Nina. The way Jack talks to me and the way the words in the letter talked to me are completely different. It’s not Jack.” 

“I don’t know that words talk. Stupid phrase.” Nina laughed looking at Kathleen. 

Then they finished their lunch and continued their classes. After few hours, their classes came to an end and they both started to their house. 

They reached their house and freshened up. Kathleen continued telling the story to Nina which she stopped in the middle yesterday. 

Kathleen is Nina's storyteller whereas Nina is Kathleen’s story listener. For Nina, Kathleen is the best storyteller and for Kathleen, Nina is the best listener. 

Kathleen finished telling the story. Nina lay on the bed and her gaze fell on the letter. She again took the letter and read it. 

“Babes! This letter is so good. I wish someone writes a letter for me like this.” Nina told Kathleen while looking at the letter. 

Kathleen smiled listening to her and lay beside her.

“Don’t worry. I’ll write for you. Not only a letter, I’ll write a book for you.” Kathleen said. 

Nina kissed her on the cheek and said “You are my best friend and no one can replace you. I love you so much.” 

Suddenly Nina sat on the bed and said “Kat! Open your social media. Let’s see any strange requests. Maybe we can find the stranger.” 

Kathleen turned on her mobile and opened her Instagram. They saw a lot of friend requests but no one seemed strange. Then they switched to Facebook and continued looking for any strange requests. Then to her other social media accounts. They spent almost an hour on them. 

“Leave it Nina. I’m tired.” 

“Me too.” 

They turned off the lights and nodded off. 

The sound of an alarm made Kathleen wake from her sleep. She then strolled to the bathroom and did her daily routines.
