CHAPTER 1
… She sat on the bad, took the notebook and the pen that had brought her father. After thinking a little she began:
“-Little late but whatever…
I live in quiet city, somewhere in the world. Our city is rather small that can be easily considered to be a town. It is very easy to find acquaintances with somebody that you don’t know, so that it is very easy to learn something about somebody that interests you. But that is not the point; I want to tell you my story…
I grew up in a very friendly family, which means that the relations between the members were just fine. My father is a lawyer and my mother was a teacher though she doesn’t teach now and I also have a younger brother Joseph (Jo). … My parents did their best to make my life comfortable and easy: I went a school which was the famous one in our city, and after the school I was going to the college. My real life begins since the college.
Our college is a great institution, which consists of 5 building. It is one of the 3 colleges of economics in our city and is the popular one. There is a huge yard in front of it and there are always a lot of people there. In the backside of it there is a wonderful garden with a lot of trees, beautiful flowers and benches. Students used to spend there their free time.

It was the best and the coolest day in my life when I went to the college on 1 of September. There were dozen of students everywhere; laughing, talking and reading wallpapers. I turned around and saw a girl with black shiny eyes, wide smile and with black (just like her eyes) wavy hair. At first I thought that she was looking for someone but soon she looked at me with that curious eyes then came to me and said.
-Hi! Are you here for the first time?
I nodded.
-Oh! Me too! (Really? She didn’t seem to be there for the first time) Here is so cute, isn’t it? What faculty are you from?
-Marketing and…
-Oh! Me too! I know where the auditory is! Come on! I will show you. By the way, what is your name? I’m Beth!
-Oh nice name. I’m Margaret; Mag or Maggie for the short.
And we went up the stairs. That how I met Beth and love her from the first look. Yeah… Beth was an event! She always used to speak! I can say that her hobby was speaking... She liked to point her view, she often joked, mocked and so on. I liked her so much! Each day when I was little moody, she made me so funny that during the whole day I was smiling or even laughing. She used to say.
-…Yes I’m always speaking, if I shut my mouth for a minute or two- I will die!
Yes it is Beth!...”
The door opened and the doctor came in.
-How is doing my beautiful princess?
-Everything is OK my dear doctor!-answered Magi.
Her red curly hair was carelessly tied into a braid at the back. When she rose her eyes to look at the doctor she looked little pale but was smiling. She had little plump lips that always got other’s look and plus she had a little nose the tip of which was little raised up. So she got very blameless face when she wasn’t in fury. Beth used to joke calling her “an angel from the picture”. So her smile was too sweet and kind that doctor smiled her back.
-Even OK? Oh it’s charming! And what do we have here? - asked Mr. Nooks coming closer and looking at the paper.
-Oh it’s nothing Mr. Nooks! I’m only writing “ps” for leaving time, as I want to see my friends as soon as possible.
-I see… they have called me up, asking about you. They’ve told me that at about 4 they will be here. So you have…. Only 85 minutes!
-Yeah I see.
-Then by! See you later.
- Bye!
Then she looked at the window, but her look was far away. She had dark brown eyes but now when she was looking at the shine that has got into to the room through the window, her eyes got lighter and shinier. Soon she turned to her paper and continued:
“… After 2 days we met Nera (Venera). She was very-very shiny and kind girl. She had blonde hair and had blue eyes. Her face was little plump and that was the reason that she looked like a baby. She liked to dance, to sing and- what was the most important to her- to play on the guitar. She was quite soft person but had some principles that can be not seen. I can say that she was rather strong person who knew what she wanted and why. Then our trio met Lily. She had almost black straight hair, big and dark eyes which always looked like she had just cried. That’s why many people asked her very often why she was so sad. Beth always mocked at her especially when she laughed. To tell the truth it was really very funny scene when her lips were put in wide smile and her eyes were crying! She trusted in everyone, loved everyone, thought about everyone… I loved her so much too. Lily used to give me a piece of good advices. All we loved our friendship most of all, and as Beth used to say “even the coolest boy unable to break our friendship”. We always were together. So after first year in the college everyone knew us as the “funny-happy fourth”
-Hey! Listen! I want to open my heart to you…-once said Beth.
That was 2nd of the September in our second year when we were going to my place to make a party. So our moods were perfect.
-Yeah-yeah we know!! Please shut up or we may die!!!-said I.
-NO! I can’t hold this any longer!!!.... I have fallen in love!! That’s it! I feel my eyes jumping!
-Dear it’s isn’t love!! I guess you are only little hungry!-answered Nera.
-Oh thank for the care, I have already forgotten that I’m awfully hungry! But NO! I’m in love! I know!
-Ok and who is the poorest one?
-He isn’t poor at all! He is Mister Charm!
-Oh come on!! Don’t say that it’s McGregor!!- I said.
-What!! Why are you so bad friends? May be he loves me too? - shouted Beth.
-Yeah and me too!! Dear he loves every girl and they love him too!
Yeah Eric McGregor was the boy of the year (maybe of the millennium), and everyone thought that he was The Boy (idol) of our college. He had dark brown (near black) hair, perfect virile traits of face, short and straight nose, “oh my god” lips and plus big and green (with little blue) eyes. That gorgeous combination was filled up with a perfect, trained and tall body. His family was one of the richest and famous families in our city, so he used the luck that he was born under that star. He was the only boy in his family and had got an elder sister. Since his childhood he got everything he wished in a second. So in the first year in the college he came with his new red Ferrari making everybody melted. In one word a dream! But that dream had some awful traits of character some of which are self-satisfied, self-opinionated, power-loving, and proud and so on. But most of people love those traits too much and he knew it too well as he behaved as “I’m the god”. The first time we saw him Beth said “This is the proof of God’s unmistaken work! How can somebody be so MUAH??!!” So he had got million friends, most of them were rich and known or they made friendship with McGregor to look like others. The girls who were his “friends” considered to be the best and sexiest girls in the college. They liked to mock at girls who stand “little down” (Beth thought that one day we must give them a kick in the ass). If McGregor smiled to someone that girl was placed off. As Beth said the only word which could describe him was “awesome”. We all liked him (or it would be right to say his look) very-very much, but of course we didn’t show it to anyone and that’s why everyone thought that we were the only that pay no attention to him. In real every time we saw him we began to joke pretending that we were in love. So this time Beth saw him first of us and “understood” she was in love!
-Oh my God! He is looking at me! See? - joked Beth.
-Yeah and so you suppose to die…- said Lily, - he will come up to you, then goes a kiss and you will wake up… We’ve already known that story Beth!
McGregor was laughing with his friends at somebody. Then he turned to us and smiled as in fairly tales.
-No dude! Don’t even think that we will fall back like others! - Beth told us with joke.
-Hi princesses! - Said McGregor and continued - How are you?
“WHAT?” We were more than surprised. He paid attention to us! WOW! “Something is wrong” (immediately went round my head)… it can’t be real! He has never even looked at us!
-He seems to have a perfect mood… - Nera whispered to us.
- Go ahead boy! - I pushed the words.
In the crowd of his friends was heard “wow!”, “look at them!”, “what?” and so… Then he looked at me appraisingly and turned away.
- Dear sister after thinking a little I’ve came to the point that you are crazy! - said Beth. - Are you crazy?
- What’s wrong with you? – asked Nera.
- Wow! They were kicked off!! Ha-ha! - added Lily.
- Hey I don’t know what happened I was so furious! I thought that they were laughing at us and that’s why he came up to us…
- … Yeah you are right! Then why he looked at us if he never did that? I think he finally realized that we are amazing! - joked Beth.
- Or we aren’t better for him! - Continued Nera - Meg but you were in the top!
- Yeah! That’s our girl!
After this event we thought that McGregor and his friend would make black jokes with us but we were surprised that when we were passing them they didn’t even say a word. The only thing that had changed in their behavior was their attention. It seemed to us that his friends were everywhere and were looking at us, listening to our conversations and so on every second… One day when we were going to the Economy auditory we made some joke (now I don’t remember what we said) two friends of him, which were on the same way, began to laugh.
- Wait! I can’t hold this any longer! Where is he? - I interested.
- Oh come on Meg! And what you are going to say to him? – asked Beth.
- “Mister Charm can you do us a favor and don’t let your friends go after us?”- joked Lily.
- No she will say “Ahm-ahm… hey dude! Keep your friends off!”- continued Beth.
At that moment we reach to the auditory and McGregor fantastically hit me at the door.
-Oh sorry dear! You’re ok?- then when I lifted my head he pronounced, - You?
-Me? Aha! I see your eyes works little bad!
-What?
-Nothing! Though you hit me rather painful but I’m glad that I met you…
-What? - This time my friends all together.
- And this… Listen I feel your friends looking after us as our shadows and I hope that it isn’t like that or it will be…
-Stupid? – continued McGregor.
-…Yeah!
-Listen baby… if I want to look at someone then I look, if I what to speak to someone then I speak. So if you suggest that my friends look after you because I told them, then you are mistaken. I’m not interested in you. Ok?
-Let me kick him! - whispered Beth.
-Oh my God! I’m awfully pity that you’re not interested in me! Ha-ha! Boy even if you were, you are some ill-favored for me!
-Sorry?
- I mean you aren’t good enough for me! Catch it? And one thing else… I’m not a baby.
He tried to say something but as the bell had already rang Mr. Baxter interrupted us. During the whole lesson I was nervous, my friends didn’t understand why I had done all that (I didn’t too). It wasn’t like me! I didn’t understand what happened with me and it happened every time I saw McGregor (he seemed to make me fury in a second). And it made me angry. Now we were sure that he or even his friends would joke with us or something else… Pasted two days and my mom (she had come from France) bought me a “Versace” shirt so I wear it with pleasure and went to the college. When I And Beth were passing near a crowd in the yard, suddenly Rebecca (one of the closest “friends” of McGregor’s) come up to me and said with smile.
- Look! She wears Versace! - Then she came closer and whispered – if you wear Versace then you must be a 100% Girl, but you darling don’t look like that!
Everyone of her club (McGregor also) began to laugh. I was so furious that if not Beth I think I would get to her hair, but fortunately Beth come up.
-Really? We’re sure that “Versace” must wear girl who has 100% buttocks, but not like you!
-Darling, first of all, learn how to speak, and then try to joke with me.
-I guess you are stupid enough to understand what I’ve said, so whatever! And now get off!
Then Beth pulled my hand and we went away. I can say that she was kicked dawn. Nobody expected Beth to say things like that. And most of all I was shamed and furious, because now I only need to turn around and I was sure that more that 18-22 eyes will look at my back!
-100% buttocks? Are you crazy?
-No I was angry.
-I don’t want even think what they will speak now!
-Don’t say that “they” means McGregor with her friends or I will…
-No “they” mean Lily and Nera.
-Ah then here they are.
Nera and Lily were coming up to us. When they heard all about the event Nera only asked.
-And McGregor didn’t do anything?
- What? And why he must do something? He can only laugh!
As the next two weeks we were too busy with our lessons and presentations we didn’t met McGregor and his “club”. So after two weeks there was “A Surprise Day”. It is a day like valentine and the only difference is that students got more presents or letters anonym. That was kind of extreme so the director let the students to have that day for nearly 20 years. It seemed that the whole college got crazy, everyone was smiling, if not laughing. Near the central hall there was a crowd holding various boxes, flowers, letters, toys (large and small). And Beth couldn’t hold any longer.
-Wow! It seems to me, that only we aren’t in love! Shit! I’m so sad. – Then she added. - Dear ladies and gen… oops! Dear ladies and ladies in this sadness I remember this flying words “Show me the meaning of being lonely…”
-Shut up Beth or I will cry- replied Lily.
“Silence!” suddenly we heard from upstairs. Mrs. Rook and Mr. Baxter come to the crowd and continued.
- Friends let go to the Assembly Hall for anonym presents!
- Oh he is rather cheerful today! Come! We haven’t left anything there. – Said Nera and showed us the way to the yard.
We all agreed and went away. Then after lessons when we were going to home we saw McGregor with his two friends.
-Hey! Why is he looking at as so…
- Straightly? – asked I.
-Yeah!
-Can you leave him? – Nera said strongly.
The next day it was Literature when the door opened and Mrs. Rook came in.
- Sorry Mr. Dixon. Can I ask Margaret and Lily for a minute?
- No problem Mrs. Rook. – was the answer.
When we left the auditory Mrs. Rook asked.
- Why didn’t you come to the Hall yesterday?
- Oh don’t say Mrs. Rook that you’ve asked as for that question! What we had forgotten there?
- Don’t joke! These…
And she gave us two letters. One of which was mine and the second one was for Lily. I give Lily’s to her and looked at mine with surprise and we looked at each other with misunderstanding.
- Ok girls now I must leave you. Good day!
- …Bye Mrs. Rook…
My letter was a pretty one, it was written on a red as blood paper and put into white as snow envelope with huge none-catchy handwriting. Lily’s envelope was a large rose surrounded with hearts and red as mine.
We didn’t open the letters as Beth and Nera would kill us so we went back to the auditory. After the lesson Beth was nearly dying from curious.
-Ok open it PLEASE! I can’t wait any longer - she said to me.
-No Lily’s the first!
-Why me? …
-Because yours looks more romantic! – Said Nera.
-OK!
In the letter we read:
“Dear Lily, my eyes always search you and every time I see you, my heart goes around, my soul flies away, my head get hotter and hotter…. So I’m only asking you to not look at me so… cold, smile to me with your angel’s smile and I will melt…
M. G.”
- M.G.? Oh my God. - Said Nera and continued – It may be McGregor!!!!!!
-What? - was our answer then Beth said. - Yeah-yeah! Around these million he may wrote only to you Lily! I’m dying!
-But the other side, why did he look at us like that yesterday?
-Don’t even imagine! It’s amazing!
-Though I don’t think it’s he but I will say: Oh! Poor boy! He will melt! Ha-ha-ha! Then melt little hurry! Please! – said Lily.
- And why are you so sure that it is “he” but not “she”? – interested Beth.
-Stop it Beth! Now my turn! – said I and opened the letter.
-Mmmmmmmmm yeah he has serious problem with handwriting!- Commented Beth.
There were these words:
“Feeling is amazing thing
It’s a load voice of my heart ring
It makes me dream and makes me think
It makes me fly and gives me wings.
I’m searching you in the crowd
And finding you I walk around
Looking you I joy your smile
Coming to you I can’t speak while
These are words that you may laugh
But they are right my feelings half
I can joy you from the far
This is my heart and my head war!
Your Mr. X ”
-Oh… my… God!! It’s awesome!
Nera was shocked though I wasn’t better.
-Mag can you give your Mister X to me?! Please! – asked Beth.
-No dear he’s mine! I feel I’m gonna love him! Oh my! He’s my Mister Poet!
- Friends in this delicate situation we need to find out who is your lovely Mr. Poet! – said Beth.
-Yeah! He’s better poet than my M.G.
-Of course your McGregor isn’t so talented!
-Oh come on girls no one knows it really McGregor! I don’t think so!
All we were shocked enough to think who might be my Poet or my “love prisoner” as Beth called him. So we left our searches for the next day. And the next day though we were surprised that among the two million girls he had stopped at Lily but we were almost sure that the M.G. was Eric McGregor as he was too careful to us or to Lily. But about My Poet… we could find out absolutely nothing.
Once we were going to the economy McGregor looked at us and turned to Lily.
- Hi babies! How are the things? I hope you aren’t angry with me any longer… After all… I think…
- First we’re not babies! … I see for you the things are rather perfect! Sorry what do mean by “after all?” – asked Beth.
- Saying “after all” dear I mean the way I and my friends come with you: no any jokes and so on...
- Second we’re not “dear” too! And there is nothing to be surprised! – said Lily.
- Ok if you’re neither baby nor dear, so tell me please how I should call you…
- Boy we have names! If you noticed, of course… – said I.
- First I’m not a boy! – Joked he, then continued – And I catch it MEGGIE!
And he went away with unusual (stupid) smile.
-Oh he knows my name!
-Awesome Mag! Of course he must know as we are the cutest girls in this college! –joked Beth.
After all these we went to the lesson. I looked at my table and saw a letter. That really shocked me.
-Look Magi’s Poet has left a letter! –shouted Nera.
-My God! I want to read it immediately! – came up Lily. –OPEN IT!!!
As I was shocked enough to take the letter, Beth got it and began to read it loud.
“I loved you since the day we met
I’m getting crazy every time we met
I dreaming about you every minute of my life
Your look for my heart is a sharp knife
My heart and my soul are deep in this war,
And with this feeling I can’t go that far!
From Mr. X to you!!”
- Mag if you don’t know what to do, give him to me! I love him!!! – said Beth.
- Girls I think I know who can be our Mr. X. - Said Nera.
- What? And you’re saying it now? REALLY?!! We are waiting! - I said.
- Daniel Borne I think, look we find a letter when before us there was McGregor’s class. So as he is McGregor’s classmate and every time he looks at you very carefully I think so.
- Oh come on! Don’t say that he can write things like these! – said Lily.
- But listen, girls, Nera is right! It could be him! I also fixed his look! So Mr. X. is Mr. Dan. I begin loving him!
- No! Wait! It can’t be him! I don’t want him to be! I imagined him as a …. Not like Daniel! (by the way Daniel Borne is not so ugly as you can imagine now, he is not so tall guy with almost yellow eyes, little nice nose and interesting smile. He was blonde and I don’t like blonde guys especially with that eyes. They are too pale for me) – I said. – I must find out who is it! Finding out or dying!
- Wow! My school! – said Beth.
- I will write him a letter too!
- WHAT?! – shouted the three.
- Yes! If he’s not going to turn up we can speak by letters. - I Said.
- I don’t think it’s a good plan! – said Lily.
- Lily this is the only way.
- Ok, only wait a little. We can wait until his another step.- said Nera
So they could make me wait and we hadn’t done any thing until the next week I got another letter.
“Every thing in this life reminds me of you,
Every time it’s pisses me off but tell me what to do.
You don’t want me to speak to you I know
You say the things that you want as I can’t say a word, you know.
I can’t speak; I can’t shout and can’t cry,
Your unbowed look and each time I dry.
You don’t look at me or look indifferent, tell me why?
You don’t even want me to look at you, what if I die?
Loving you Mr. X”
After this I wrote a letter and left it on the table. Two day passed and there was no answer. Girls advised me to end up but I tried again. And this time I found out when Daniel would have history went into the auditory and put the letter just on the same table on which he left the letters for me. I wrote there:
“Tell me who you are. I can’t even imagine who you can be, so I may think that you’re afraid. Don’t let me think so. I only want to be in touch with you. If you don’t want to meet me face to face, let’s have contact by letters”.
After their lesson I went into the auditory and... Nothing! I was upset. After classes we were going to Lily and suddenly a little boy run up, give me a paper and run away so fast that we couldn’t ask anything. We opened the letter, I read:
“No, my little princess I’m not afraid at all. The only reason that I can’t introduce to you is that you’re not ready yet… but I will think about “letter contact”
”
-Oh how romantic is “my little princess”! - said Lily.
-Yeah right. By the way he has sense of humor. It is good! – Noticed Beth.
-Ok, you won DEAR! Now you will have contact by letters! – Joked Nera.
-No, not yet, until he will think about “letter contact”! – joked I.
In three days there wasn’t any letter for me and the only thing we can spoke about was “Lily’s prince McGregor”, his looks, words (though in reality there was nothing but the letter)…
- Listen Lily, here I’m thinking what color must be my dress on your wedding, and can you help me please!
- Shut up Beth! Don’t joke like it! – Answered her Lily.
- What? As our prince, oh sorry YOUR prince McGregor has told everything, there isn’t any problem! – Beth continued joking. – Girls, but to tell the truth, he is the stupidest prince I have ever met! Stupid words, stupid look, stupid…
- Enough Beth! Lily, don’t listen to her! Maybe he is ashamed to speak to you seriously! – Nera pointed.
- Yeah! Of course! Poor boy! – said Beth and continued. – I think it isn’t he! Sorry Lily but he likes Barbie’s!
- Yeah, I know! I also thought about it! I mustn’t think it was he! McGregor, imagine!
- No! Stop! There isn’t any McGregor! He is typical rich boy without brain, who has a cabriolet and dozen fans-friends … and there is also no any Prince characteristic behavior! – I said with anger.
- She’s right! – came up Nera. – He only likes to be in the center!
- So forget him! M.G. can also be Morris Goodman!
- BETH! (Morris Goodman Is an extra stupid boy who thinks that he is the coolest boy in the world and he is going to become a president!! )- shout Lily. - You have no sense of humor!
- Thanks!
- So Poor McGregor passed! Bye- bye! - I said.
- No, it will be more right to say hi- hi! Look…
McGregor was coming up with his dozen friends. They stopped not far from us.
- Look he is looking at us! – Said Lily.
- Don’t look there. Forget him! – Beth was angry. – I advise you to look at Dan. Mag he’s going to eat you!
- It will be better if he writes me an answer! – pointed I.
But there was a bell and we went to Marketing class. After waiting our teacher for 15 minutes Mr. Jeffrey came in and told us that we have to go to History as our Marketing teacher was ill and couldn’t come. We were shocked, when we’d found out that we had to have History with McGregor’s class, and this is after we had decided to forget him “forever”. My God! It was going be a circus! And with thoughts like these we got to History auditory. With faces of mummies we went in and stood after Mr. Parkston, as he was going to “coordinate” us by seats. He used to place each off the students where he wants, that was his method to make students keep silence. There is no need to tell you what kind of jokes and replicas there were.

It was the best and the coolest day in my life when I went to the college on 1 of September. There were dozen of students everywhere; laughing, talking and reading wallpapers. I turned around and saw a girl with black shiny eyes, wide smile and with black (just like her eyes) wavy hair. At first I thought that she was looking for someone but soon she looked at me with that curious eyes then came to me and said.
-Hi! Are you here for the first time?
I nodded.
-Oh! Me too! (Really? She didn’t seem to be there for the first time) Here is so cute, isn’t it? What faculty are you from?
-Marketing and…
-Oh! Me too! I know where the auditory is! Come on! I will show you. By the way, what is your name? I’m Beth!
-Oh nice name. I’m Margaret; Mag or Maggie for the short.
And we went up the stairs. That how I met Beth and love her from the first look. Yeah… Beth was an event! She always used to speak! I can say that her hobby was speaking... She liked to point her view, she often joked, mocked and so on. I liked her so much! Each day when I was little moody, she made me so funny that during the whole day I was smiling or even laughing. She used to say.
-…Yes I’m always speaking, if I shut my mouth for a minute or two- I will die!
Yes it is Beth!...”
The door opened and the doctor came in.
-How is doing my beautiful princess?
-Everything is OK my dear doctor!-answered Magi.
Her red curly hair was carelessly tied into a braid at the back. When she rose her eyes to look at the doctor she looked little pale but was smiling. She had little plump lips that always got other’s look and plus she had a little nose the tip of which was little raised up. So she got very blameless face when she wasn’t in fury. Beth used to joke calling her “an angel from the picture”. So her smile was too sweet and kind that doctor smiled her back.
-Even OK? Oh it’s charming! And what do we have here? - asked Mr. Nooks coming closer and looking at the paper.
-Oh it’s nothing Mr. Nooks! I’m only writing “ps” for leaving time, as I want to see my friends as soon as possible.
-I see… they have called me up, asking about you. They’ve told me that at about 4 they will be here. So you have…. Only 85 minutes!
-Yeah I see.
-Then by! See you later.
- Bye!
Then she looked at the window, but her look was far away. She had dark brown eyes but now when she was looking at the shine that has got into to the room through the window, her eyes got lighter and shinier. Soon she turned to her paper and continued:
“… After 2 days we met Nera (Venera). She was very-very shiny and kind girl. She had blonde hair and had blue eyes. Her face was little plump and that was the reason that she looked like a baby. She liked to dance, to sing and- what was the most important to her- to play on the guitar. She was quite soft person but had some principles that can be not seen. I can say that she was rather strong person who knew what she wanted and why. Then our trio met Lily. She had almost black straight hair, big and dark eyes which always looked like she had just cried. That’s why many people asked her very often why she was so sad. Beth always mocked at her especially when she laughed. To tell the truth it was really very funny scene when her lips were put in wide smile and her eyes were crying! She trusted in everyone, loved everyone, thought about everyone… I loved her so much too. Lily used to give me a piece of good advices. All we loved our friendship most of all, and as Beth used to say “even the coolest boy unable to break our friendship”. We always were together. So after first year in the college everyone knew us as the “funny-happy fourth”
-Hey! Listen! I want to open my heart to you…-once said Beth.
That was 2nd of the September in our second year when we were going to my place to make a party. So our moods were perfect.
-Yeah-yeah we know!! Please shut up or we may die!!!-said I.
-NO! I can’t hold this any longer!!!.... I have fallen in love!! That’s it! I feel my eyes jumping!
-Dear it’s isn’t love!! I guess you are only little hungry!-answered Nera.
-Oh thank for the care, I have already forgotten that I’m awfully hungry! But NO! I’m in love! I know!
-Ok and who is the poorest one?
-He isn’t poor at all! He is Mister Charm!
-Oh come on!! Don’t say that it’s McGregor!!- I said.
-What!! Why are you so bad friends? May be he loves me too? - shouted Beth.
-Yeah and me too!! Dear he loves every girl and they love him too!
Yeah Eric McGregor was the boy of the year (maybe of the millennium), and everyone thought that he was The Boy (idol) of our college. He had dark brown (near black) hair, perfect virile traits of face, short and straight nose, “oh my god” lips and plus big and green (with little blue) eyes. That gorgeous combination was filled up with a perfect, trained and tall body. His family was one of the richest and famous families in our city, so he used the luck that he was born under that star. He was the only boy in his family and had got an elder sister. Since his childhood he got everything he wished in a second. So in the first year in the college he came with his new red Ferrari making everybody melted. In one word a dream! But that dream had some awful traits of character some of which are self-satisfied, self-opinionated, power-loving, and proud and so on. But most of people love those traits too much and he knew it too well as he behaved as “I’m the god”. The first time we saw him Beth said “This is the proof of God’s unmistaken work! How can somebody be so MUAH??!!” So he had got million friends, most of them were rich and known or they made friendship with McGregor to look like others. The girls who were his “friends” considered to be the best and sexiest girls in the college. They liked to mock at girls who stand “little down” (Beth thought that one day we must give them a kick in the ass). If McGregor smiled to someone that girl was placed off. As Beth said the only word which could describe him was “awesome”. We all liked him (or it would be right to say his look) very-very much, but of course we didn’t show it to anyone and that’s why everyone thought that we were the only that pay no attention to him. In real every time we saw him we began to joke pretending that we were in love. So this time Beth saw him first of us and “understood” she was in love!
-Oh my God! He is looking at me! See? - joked Beth.
-Yeah and so you suppose to die…- said Lily, - he will come up to you, then goes a kiss and you will wake up… We’ve already known that story Beth!
McGregor was laughing with his friends at somebody. Then he turned to us and smiled as in fairly tales.
-No dude! Don’t even think that we will fall back like others! - Beth told us with joke.
-Hi princesses! - Said McGregor and continued - How are you?
“WHAT?” We were more than surprised. He paid attention to us! WOW! “Something is wrong” (immediately went round my head)… it can’t be real! He has never even looked at us!
-He seems to have a perfect mood… - Nera whispered to us.
- Go ahead boy! - I pushed the words.
In the crowd of his friends was heard “wow!”, “look at them!”, “what?” and so… Then he looked at me appraisingly and turned away.
- Dear sister after thinking a little I’ve came to the point that you are crazy! - said Beth. - Are you crazy?
- What’s wrong with you? – asked Nera.
- Wow! They were kicked off!! Ha-ha! - added Lily.
- Hey I don’t know what happened I was so furious! I thought that they were laughing at us and that’s why he came up to us…
- … Yeah you are right! Then why he looked at us if he never did that? I think he finally realized that we are amazing! - joked Beth.
- Or we aren’t better for him! - Continued Nera - Meg but you were in the top!
- Yeah! That’s our girl!
After this event we thought that McGregor and his friend would make black jokes with us but we were surprised that when we were passing them they didn’t even say a word. The only thing that had changed in their behavior was their attention. It seemed to us that his friends were everywhere and were looking at us, listening to our conversations and so on every second… One day when we were going to the Economy auditory we made some joke (now I don’t remember what we said) two friends of him, which were on the same way, began to laugh.
- Wait! I can’t hold this any longer! Where is he? - I interested.
- Oh come on Meg! And what you are going to say to him? – asked Beth.
- “Mister Charm can you do us a favor and don’t let your friends go after us?”- joked Lily.
- No she will say “Ahm-ahm… hey dude! Keep your friends off!”- continued Beth.
At that moment we reach to the auditory and McGregor fantastically hit me at the door.
-Oh sorry dear! You’re ok?- then when I lifted my head he pronounced, - You?
-Me? Aha! I see your eyes works little bad!
-What?
-Nothing! Though you hit me rather painful but I’m glad that I met you…
-What? - This time my friends all together.
- And this… Listen I feel your friends looking after us as our shadows and I hope that it isn’t like that or it will be…
-Stupid? – continued McGregor.
-…Yeah!
-Listen baby… if I want to look at someone then I look, if I what to speak to someone then I speak. So if you suggest that my friends look after you because I told them, then you are mistaken. I’m not interested in you. Ok?
-Let me kick him! - whispered Beth.
-Oh my God! I’m awfully pity that you’re not interested in me! Ha-ha! Boy even if you were, you are some ill-favored for me!
-Sorry?
- I mean you aren’t good enough for me! Catch it? And one thing else… I’m not a baby.
He tried to say something but as the bell had already rang Mr. Baxter interrupted us. During the whole lesson I was nervous, my friends didn’t understand why I had done all that (I didn’t too). It wasn’t like me! I didn’t understand what happened with me and it happened every time I saw McGregor (he seemed to make me fury in a second). And it made me angry. Now we were sure that he or even his friends would joke with us or something else… Pasted two days and my mom (she had come from France) bought me a “Versace” shirt so I wear it with pleasure and went to the college. When I And Beth were passing near a crowd in the yard, suddenly Rebecca (one of the closest “friends” of McGregor’s) come up to me and said with smile.
- Look! She wears Versace! - Then she came closer and whispered – if you wear Versace then you must be a 100% Girl, but you darling don’t look like that!
Everyone of her club (McGregor also) began to laugh. I was so furious that if not Beth I think I would get to her hair, but fortunately Beth come up.
-Really? We’re sure that “Versace” must wear girl who has 100% buttocks, but not like you!
-Darling, first of all, learn how to speak, and then try to joke with me.
-I guess you are stupid enough to understand what I’ve said, so whatever! And now get off!
Then Beth pulled my hand and we went away. I can say that she was kicked dawn. Nobody expected Beth to say things like that. And most of all I was shamed and furious, because now I only need to turn around and I was sure that more that 18-22 eyes will look at my back!
-100% buttocks? Are you crazy?
-No I was angry.
-I don’t want even think what they will speak now!
-Don’t say that “they” means McGregor with her friends or I will…
-No “they” mean Lily and Nera.
-Ah then here they are.
Nera and Lily were coming up to us. When they heard all about the event Nera only asked.
-And McGregor didn’t do anything?
- What? And why he must do something? He can only laugh!
As the next two weeks we were too busy with our lessons and presentations we didn’t met McGregor and his “club”. So after two weeks there was “A Surprise Day”. It is a day like valentine and the only difference is that students got more presents or letters anonym. That was kind of extreme so the director let the students to have that day for nearly 20 years. It seemed that the whole college got crazy, everyone was smiling, if not laughing. Near the central hall there was a crowd holding various boxes, flowers, letters, toys (large and small). And Beth couldn’t hold any longer.
-Wow! It seems to me, that only we aren’t in love! Shit! I’m so sad. – Then she added. - Dear ladies and gen… oops! Dear ladies and ladies in this sadness I remember this flying words “Show me the meaning of being lonely…”
-Shut up Beth or I will cry- replied Lily.
“Silence!” suddenly we heard from upstairs. Mrs. Rook and Mr. Baxter come to the crowd and continued.
- Friends let go to the Assembly Hall for anonym presents!
- Oh he is rather cheerful today! Come! We haven’t left anything there. – Said Nera and showed us the way to the yard.
We all agreed and went away. Then after lessons when we were going to home we saw McGregor with his two friends.
-Hey! Why is he looking at as so…
- Straightly? – asked I.
-Yeah!
-Can you leave him? – Nera said strongly.
The next day it was Literature when the door opened and Mrs. Rook came in.
- Sorry Mr. Dixon. Can I ask Margaret and Lily for a minute?
- No problem Mrs. Rook. – was the answer.
When we left the auditory Mrs. Rook asked.
- Why didn’t you come to the Hall yesterday?
- Oh don’t say Mrs. Rook that you’ve asked as for that question! What we had forgotten there?
- Don’t joke! These…
And she gave us two letters. One of which was mine and the second one was for Lily. I give Lily’s to her and looked at mine with surprise and we looked at each other with misunderstanding.
- Ok girls now I must leave you. Good day!
- …Bye Mrs. Rook…
My letter was a pretty one, it was written on a red as blood paper and put into white as snow envelope with huge none-catchy handwriting. Lily’s envelope was a large rose surrounded with hearts and red as mine.
We didn’t open the letters as Beth and Nera would kill us so we went back to the auditory. After the lesson Beth was nearly dying from curious.
-Ok open it PLEASE! I can’t wait any longer - she said to me.
-No Lily’s the first!
-Why me? …
-Because yours looks more romantic! – Said Nera.
-OK!
In the letter we read:
“Dear Lily, my eyes always search you and every time I see you, my heart goes around, my soul flies away, my head get hotter and hotter…. So I’m only asking you to not look at me so… cold, smile to me with your angel’s smile and I will melt…
M. G.”
- M.G.? Oh my God. - Said Nera and continued – It may be McGregor!!!!!!
-What? - was our answer then Beth said. - Yeah-yeah! Around these million he may wrote only to you Lily! I’m dying!
-But the other side, why did he look at us like that yesterday?
-Don’t even imagine! It’s amazing!
-Though I don’t think it’s he but I will say: Oh! Poor boy! He will melt! Ha-ha-ha! Then melt little hurry! Please! – said Lily.
- And why are you so sure that it is “he” but not “she”? – interested Beth.
-Stop it Beth! Now my turn! – said I and opened the letter.
-Mmmmmmmmm yeah he has serious problem with handwriting!- Commented Beth.
There were these words:
“Feeling is amazing thing
It’s a load voice of my heart ring
It makes me dream and makes me think
It makes me fly and gives me wings.
I’m searching you in the crowd
And finding you I walk around
Looking you I joy your smile
Coming to you I can’t speak while
These are words that you may laugh
But they are right my feelings half
I can joy you from the far
This is my heart and my head war!
Your Mr. X ”
-Oh… my… God!! It’s awesome!
Nera was shocked though I wasn’t better.
-Mag can you give your Mister X to me?! Please! – asked Beth.
-No dear he’s mine! I feel I’m gonna love him! Oh my! He’s my Mister Poet!
- Friends in this delicate situation we need to find out who is your lovely Mr. Poet! – said Beth.
-Yeah! He’s better poet than my M.G.
-Of course your McGregor isn’t so talented!
-Oh come on girls no one knows it really McGregor! I don’t think so!
All we were shocked enough to think who might be my Poet or my “love prisoner” as Beth called him. So we left our searches for the next day. And the next day though we were surprised that among the two million girls he had stopped at Lily but we were almost sure that the M.G. was Eric McGregor as he was too careful to us or to Lily. But about My Poet… we could find out absolutely nothing.
Once we were going to the economy McGregor looked at us and turned to Lily.
- Hi babies! How are the things? I hope you aren’t angry with me any longer… After all… I think…
- First we’re not babies! … I see for you the things are rather perfect! Sorry what do mean by “after all?” – asked Beth.
- Saying “after all” dear I mean the way I and my friends come with you: no any jokes and so on...
- Second we’re not “dear” too! And there is nothing to be surprised! – said Lily.
- Ok if you’re neither baby nor dear, so tell me please how I should call you…
- Boy we have names! If you noticed, of course… – said I.
- First I’m not a boy! – Joked he, then continued – And I catch it MEGGIE!
And he went away with unusual (stupid) smile.
-Oh he knows my name!
-Awesome Mag! Of course he must know as we are the cutest girls in this college! –joked Beth.
After all these we went to the lesson. I looked at my table and saw a letter. That really shocked me.
-Look Magi’s Poet has left a letter! –shouted Nera.
-My God! I want to read it immediately! – came up Lily. –OPEN IT!!!
As I was shocked enough to take the letter, Beth got it and began to read it loud.
“I loved you since the day we met
I’m getting crazy every time we met
I dreaming about you every minute of my life
Your look for my heart is a sharp knife
My heart and my soul are deep in this war,
And with this feeling I can’t go that far!
From Mr. X to you!!”
- Mag if you don’t know what to do, give him to me! I love him!!! – said Beth.
- Girls I think I know who can be our Mr. X. - Said Nera.
- What? And you’re saying it now? REALLY?!! We are waiting! - I said.
- Daniel Borne I think, look we find a letter when before us there was McGregor’s class. So as he is McGregor’s classmate and every time he looks at you very carefully I think so.
- Oh come on! Don’t say that he can write things like these! – said Lily.
- But listen, girls, Nera is right! It could be him! I also fixed his look! So Mr. X. is Mr. Dan. I begin loving him!
- No! Wait! It can’t be him! I don’t want him to be! I imagined him as a …. Not like Daniel! (by the way Daniel Borne is not so ugly as you can imagine now, he is not so tall guy with almost yellow eyes, little nice nose and interesting smile. He was blonde and I don’t like blonde guys especially with that eyes. They are too pale for me) – I said. – I must find out who is it! Finding out or dying!
- Wow! My school! – said Beth.
- I will write him a letter too!
- WHAT?! – shouted the three.
- Yes! If he’s not going to turn up we can speak by letters. - I Said.
- I don’t think it’s a good plan! – said Lily.
- Lily this is the only way.
- Ok, only wait a little. We can wait until his another step.- said Nera
So they could make me wait and we hadn’t done any thing until the next week I got another letter.
“Every thing in this life reminds me of you,
Every time it’s pisses me off but tell me what to do.
You don’t want me to speak to you I know
You say the things that you want as I can’t say a word, you know.
I can’t speak; I can’t shout and can’t cry,
Your unbowed look and each time I dry.
You don’t look at me or look indifferent, tell me why?
You don’t even want me to look at you, what if I die?
Loving you Mr. X”
After this I wrote a letter and left it on the table. Two day passed and there was no answer. Girls advised me to end up but I tried again. And this time I found out when Daniel would have history went into the auditory and put the letter just on the same table on which he left the letters for me. I wrote there:
“Tell me who you are. I can’t even imagine who you can be, so I may think that you’re afraid. Don’t let me think so. I only want to be in touch with you. If you don’t want to meet me face to face, let’s have contact by letters”.
After their lesson I went into the auditory and... Nothing! I was upset. After classes we were going to Lily and suddenly a little boy run up, give me a paper and run away so fast that we couldn’t ask anything. We opened the letter, I read:
“No, my little princess I’m not afraid at all. The only reason that I can’t introduce to you is that you’re not ready yet… but I will think about “letter contact”
” -Oh how romantic is “my little princess”! - said Lily.
-Yeah right. By the way he has sense of humor. It is good! – Noticed Beth.
-Ok, you won DEAR! Now you will have contact by letters! – Joked Nera.
-No, not yet, until he will think about “letter contact”! – joked I.
In three days there wasn’t any letter for me and the only thing we can spoke about was “Lily’s prince McGregor”, his looks, words (though in reality there was nothing but the letter)…
- Listen Lily, here I’m thinking what color must be my dress on your wedding, and can you help me please!
- Shut up Beth! Don’t joke like it! – Answered her Lily.
- What? As our prince, oh sorry YOUR prince McGregor has told everything, there isn’t any problem! – Beth continued joking. – Girls, but to tell the truth, he is the stupidest prince I have ever met! Stupid words, stupid look, stupid…
- Enough Beth! Lily, don’t listen to her! Maybe he is ashamed to speak to you seriously! – Nera pointed.
- Yeah! Of course! Poor boy! – said Beth and continued. – I think it isn’t he! Sorry Lily but he likes Barbie’s!
- Yeah, I know! I also thought about it! I mustn’t think it was he! McGregor, imagine!
- No! Stop! There isn’t any McGregor! He is typical rich boy without brain, who has a cabriolet and dozen fans-friends … and there is also no any Prince characteristic behavior! – I said with anger.
- She’s right! – came up Nera. – He only likes to be in the center!
- So forget him! M.G. can also be Morris Goodman!
- BETH! (Morris Goodman Is an extra stupid boy who thinks that he is the coolest boy in the world and he is going to become a president!! )- shout Lily. - You have no sense of humor!
- Thanks!
- So Poor McGregor passed! Bye- bye! - I said.
- No, it will be more right to say hi- hi! Look…
McGregor was coming up with his dozen friends. They stopped not far from us.
- Look he is looking at us! – Said Lily.
- Don’t look there. Forget him! – Beth was angry. – I advise you to look at Dan. Mag he’s going to eat you!
- It will be better if he writes me an answer! – pointed I.
But there was a bell and we went to Marketing class. After waiting our teacher for 15 minutes Mr. Jeffrey came in and told us that we have to go to History as our Marketing teacher was ill and couldn’t come. We were shocked, when we’d found out that we had to have History with McGregor’s class, and this is after we had decided to forget him “forever”. My God! It was going be a circus! And with thoughts like these we got to History auditory. With faces of mummies we went in and stood after Mr. Parkston, as he was going to “coordinate” us by seats. He used to place each off the students where he wants, that was his method to make students keep silence. There is no need to tell you what kind of jokes and replicas there were.
