Olivia P.O.V

After unpacking my stuff I took a nap because I was tired from the journey. I woke up at 8 O clock and went downstairs for food. Martha was setting the table when I entered in the kitchen. "Good evening Martha" I said as I took the seat on the dining table. "Evening dear, I was just going to call you for the dinner" she smiled at me. "Did you make that?" I asked gesturing towards the dish. "Yes dear, is it not good, I can make something else if you want" she said hurriedly standing up from her seat. "No no it's good, I mean it's fantastic" I reassured her. She smiled at me in relief. 

After the dinner, I excused myself and went to my room. I talked to my parents for a while telling them about my journey and settling here. Then after that I Skype Anna and talked to her for almost an hour. She was such a gossip queen. She was telling me about the orientation in her college and that she saw a cute guy there. I laughed hearing that she always does that and start to babble about guys. Feeling tired even after the nap I cut the call and took out my pajamas from closet and brushing my teeth. I was looking in the mirror hoping that no soul would pop out of nowhere in here. But I haven't encounter a soul yet in here. After changing in my pajamas I sat on my bed half covering myself with duvet and grabbed my favorite book beside the table to pass the time, I am tired but sleep is not coming to me right now. So I decided to read. I was so much engrossed in the book that I didn't see the time. 

It was 12 already, I should sleep, tomorrow I have to go to the orientation. I was half asleep when I heard the sound of piano. Who the hell is playing piano at this hour. I got up from the bed and went towards the door, opening the door, I looked at my surroundings to listen where the sound is coming from, it was coming from the second floor. But the floor was in restricted section. "Martha" I yelled hoping she is upstairs but I didn't get any reply. I yelled again but she doesn't answer maybe she is asleep. I have to check it on my own. I slowly made my way to the second floor. The sound coming from piano was melodic. It almost made me stay and listen to it. 

Keyword almost. 

I went on second floor . All lights were on. Wow electricity wastage. The sound was coming from the last room as I made my way there, door was slightly opened and I could see the silhouette of a person. I peeked inside and saw a boy playing the piano. Why in the world is he playing at this hour. It looks to me that he is lost in the music. I opened the door fully and cleared my throat to get his attention. He is not burglar that for sure because if he was he wouldn't be playing piano right now rather than stealing some valuables. His shoulder visibly stiffen, he stopped playing. 

"Who are you?" I asked entering in the room. 

He still haven't turn around so that I could see his face. He didn't move from his seat. Is he deaf or something? "Can you hear me, Piano boy" I asked walking towards him and stopped from a good distance from him. He stood up from the stool still facing the other side. And slowly like in a movie he turned around to face me. My breath caught in my throat. He was gorgeous like a Greek God. He has sparkling blue eyes which looks familiar to me but I can't pin point where I saw those eyes before. His hair was dark brown, it looked almost black. He looked to be 6 ft height. He was staring at me in shock. I got out of my dream land "Who are you?" I repeated again. "I am Colton" he said getting out of his shocked state. "And I am Olivia, If we passed those introduction, now can you answer me what are you doing here" I asked looking at him. His existence look too good to be true. "I live here" he said in confused tone. I furrowed at that, Martha said nobody live here beside her. Then where he came from. "How can that be, only Martha lived here before" I said slightly wary of him. He stared at me for a while. "Yeah, she lived here alone, I just came here whenever I want" he said  in relaxed tone. "I will go and ask her then" I said and turned out to walked out of the room.

"You won't find her here" he said from behind me. I frowned, What, why, did he kill her? is he a serial killer. This is my first day and I am already in deep shit. "Why?" I asked him turning to face him but standing beside the door, so that if I need I will bolt out from here. "She always left after the dinner so that she can spend time with her family, She will be back tomorrow early" he said walking towards me. "Oh" I muttered in understanding. "You don't know who am I, do you?" he asked standing an inch away from me and looking into my eyes. I thought I saw him somewhere, but where? I started thinking but couldn't remember. He sighed like he was expecting this.

Then suddenly I remembered, I saw him in the photo which were in living room. He is Colton Denver, heir of this mansion. "I remembered" I said cheerfully. He looked hopeful that I remembered him. "You are Colton Denver, aren't you!" I said hoping I am right. His expression changed from hopeful to hurt. But I got it right, didn't I ! then why does he looked like that some one ran him over. "Yeah and this is my house" he said annoyed and walking past me. When I turned around to look where he went, he was nowhere to be found. 

He walked fast. hmm. 

Well maybe thats why Martha didn't let anybody on the second floor because it is Richie Rich floor. I huffed, so much for being handsome. I walked back to my room. So that I could get some much needed sleep, after all I have an orientation to attend tomorrow. 

***

I woke up and got ready for today. I have lots of thing to do today. First the orientation then roaming around the town so that I can familiarize with it. Our classes will start in next week so I have sufficient time to enjoy here. I went down stairs in the kitchen. Martha was humming to herself while preparing the break fast. "Morning Martha" I said taking my seat on the dining table. She looked back from her cooking "Good morning dear" she smiled and resumed her cooking. Until she cooked the break fast, I looked in my phone checking the notification. All were useless though. "Here you go dear" she said as she served me the plate of pancakes. My mouth watered looking at the delicious heaven. "Thank you" I smiled genuinely and started eating my food. After finishing my food, a thought struck me. 

"Martha" I called, she was cleaning the counter. "Yes dear" she said still doing her chores. "Can I ask you a question?" I asked thinking she definitely knew the answer. She hummed. "Why nobody is allowed to go on second floor" I said in curious tone looking at her in expectation. She stopped her work altogether and came towards me. She looked worry for a second. "Did you go there?" she asked in worried tone. I shook my head lying to her face. I can't tell her that I went there last night. She sighed in relief. "Well, That's good" she said seating in the chair beside me. She cleared her throat before answering my question. "Well second floor belonged to Colton, son of Mr. Denver  and he didn't like anybody to invade his privacy" she said in clipped tone. 

Why is she talking about him in past tense. 

"Doesn't he live here anymore" I asked her confused because I just saw him last night. "No, he doesn't" she said and stood up leaving me alone in the kitchen. Weird. I shook my head to get those thought out, Its Colton house, if he doesn't want anyone to know that he is still living here then whom I to judge. Or maybe something might be wrong here. Liv you said you will stay away from trouble and that Colton Denver seems trouble to me. Just ignore him and focus on your life. That I will do. Pulling my bag to my left shoulder. I went to the front door but stopped myself. I don't have a car to ride around. 

How will I go to college and I don't even see any bus stand near by.

"Martha" I called hoping she would help me. "In here dear" her voiced answered from the living room. I walked there and saw her arranging some papers. "I don't have a car and there is no bus stop nearby, how am I going to get to college?" I babbled little panicked because I don't want to be late. She looked at me and smiled in reassurance. "Can you drive?" she questioned. I nodded my head. While apart from being in a car accident, I am a good driver. "Then you can take one of the cars from the garage, Mr. Denver told me himself" she said. I squealed in joy. "And yeah keys are in the garage" she said and focused on her work again. I thanked her and went outside.

"So you are going to College" a familiar voice stated from beside me. When did he get here? "Yeah" I replied and went towards the garage hoping he won't follow me. But luck wasn't on my side; He followed me to the garage. "Why are you following me?" I asked annoyed not looking at him. He raised one brow in amusement. Do I look like a joker to him? "Don't give much credit to yourself Princess but I have to go outside which means I need a car which means I have to get it from here" he answered me smugly. I scoffed but my cheeks tinted pink in embarrassment. I opened the garage door. I gasped looking at the series of car in here. 

Wow. 

"Close your mouth otherwise you will catch flies" he said walking inside. I quickly closed my mouth and followed him. There were rows of keys hanging on the wall. Which will I take, I looked at them confused. "Take the black one, it's my car" he said standing beside me. I raised an eye brow. "Why?" I asked not wanting to drive his car. "Because you are driving me as well and I would like to travel in my car"he said in careless tone. I frowned hearing that. "I am not driving you anywhere, help yourself" I said irritated with his tactics and picked the key for blue car. It was Range Rover, Beautiful. "This is my place, my garage, and if I want to save some gas then I will" he said harshly and stand beside the black BMW. Of course. 

I rolled my eyes and took the keys for the BMW and opened the car door. He sat in the passenger seat and I took the driver seat. "Why are you not the one that driving the car" I said looking at him from the corner of my eyes. He sighed "I am not feeling like driving" he said and got comfortable in his seat. I huffed feeling anger rising. He is acting like a spoiled brat. Maybe he is one. I started the car ignoring him and started the GPS entering the college address. I have to reach college on time. "What are you studying by the way?" he asked after a while. I thought of ignoring him but I am feeling bored so why not interact with douche. 

"Biology" I said not looking at him. 

He hummed "You don't strike me as nerd type" he said smirking. I frowned. "What does that suppose to be mean" I said throwing him a glance. He pretends to think for a while. "Still figuring you out" he said like I am puzzle. I sighed, he just wants attention. "Where I should drop you?" I said when we entered in the town. "To your college" he said calmly. I turned my head in his direction so fast that I would have gotten a whiplash. He raises both of his hand in surrender gesture. "I am not following you, I have to talk to one of my teacher there" he said seriously, I looked at him for any lies but it seems all he was telling the truth. "You went to the same college" I asked in curiosity. He nodded his head looking out the window. I looked at him for a while. He is hard to read. "I know I am handsome, but can you look forward so that we won't get in any accident" he said without looking at me. But I can detect a smile on his face. My cheeks tinted pink but I didn't back out "I was not staring at you" I said in bold tone and turn my head forward. "Sure you weren't" he said in casual tone but his eyes were still outside the window.

What is so fascinating that he is looking outside with mesmerizing expression? 

"There is something outside?"I asked him curiously. He turned his head towards front. "No" he frowned and we didn't speak in the entire journey after that. I saw him looking at me couple of times  but I pretended that I didn't notice that. Finally we reached the University Of California. It was enormous, red and white building. Students were filled everywhere. I smiled, this will be my college for next few years. I parked the car and got out of it. People were gawking at the car or maybe the person who exit from the car and I am not talking about me. He stood outside of car before me. I didn't even hear the door opened from his side. Maybe he is that sneaky. 

"Meet me here after your orientation" he said looking at me not the others who were looking at us. I just nodded my head and walked away from him. Not liking the attention I am getting right now even if it's not directly towards me. After passing several corridors I finally found the giant auditorium. Students were already there. Some were laughing, some were just talking to each other and some were goofing around. I checked my watch and saw that I am 20 minutes early. 

Well better early than late.

I took the seat in the middle and scan the crowd around me. Everyone was in groups even if it's only of two. I sighed, and here I am sitting alone. "Can I sit here?" I heard a voice from above me. When I look upward, I saw a pretty blonde standing in front of me. She was looking at me nervously. I smiled at her and nodded. She smiled back and sat beside me. "Hi, my name is Elena" she said while extending her hand towards me. I shook it "I am Olivia but you can call me Liv" I smiled at her. And then we started the conversation. She told me she is also moved here to study. She was from San Francisco. She was staying in the dorm here. Well we both had a casual conversation. I told her about myself as well except that I can see ghosts. 

Well I want to make friends not scare them away. 

The orientation started after a while and we all stopped our conversation and focused on the screen in front of us. It was basically about College history, their rules, what are they offering to us and what they expect from us. After the two hour orientation, we finally were free. Elena sighed beside me "Finally, they let us leave" she said. I laughed but nodded along the way. We roam around the college a little getting familiar with the surrounding when her phone rang. She looked at me guilty "I have to go" she said. I looked at my watch taking in the time that's it's been a while we are roaming around. I smiled at her "Me too, I will see you next week" I said and parted by way from there. She waved me good bye. I waved back and went towards the parking lot. Colton was leaning on the car door wearing his sun glasses. He looked drool worthy but his personality kind of sucks. 

"Where were you?" he asked when he saw me coming towards him. "I was in the orientation" I answered and went to open the door. "But it already finished two hours ago" he said annoyed. I raised my eye brow at his behavior. He also entered in the car. "So" I said not getting his point. "So I have been waiting here for too long" he snapped. I didn't tell him to wait for me but we are sharing one car so that's kind of is my fault, I should have thought about that. "Sorry, I didn't realize" I said guiltily. He huffed "Start the car already" he said and without any time wasting I started the car and we took off from there.
